The most common cathode materials used in lithium-ion batteries include lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP), and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC). Each of these materials offers varying levels of energy density, thermal stability, and cost-effectiveness.
6.1.1. Graphite Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes.
Graphite and its derivatives are currently the predominant materials for the anode. The chemical compositions of these batteries rely heavily on key minerals such as lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and aluminium for the positive electrode, and materials like carbon and silicon for the anode (Goldman et al., 2019, Zhang and Azimi, 2022).
Rare and/or expensive battery materials are unsuitable for widespread practical application, and an alternative has to be found for the currently prevalent lithium-ion battery technology. In this review article, we discuss the current state-of-the-art of battery materials from a perspective that focuses on the renewable energy market pull.
The most studied batteries of this type is the Zinc-air and Li-air battery. Other metals have been used, such as Mg and Al, but these are only known as primary cells, and so are beyond the scope of this article.
This comparison underscores the importance of selecting a battery chemistry based on the specific requirements of the application, balancing performance, cost, and safety considerations. Among the six leading Li-ion battery chemistries, NMC, LFP, and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) are recognized as superior candidates.
