Recent advances in lithium-ion battery materials for improved electrochemical performance: A review

Abstract

The global demand for energy has increased enormously as a consequence of technological and economic advances. Instantaneous delivery of energy is available, but it cannot be continually supplied via the power grid to technical devices, automobiles, etc. The supply-demand mismatch of energy could be resolved with the use of a lithium-ion battery (LIB) as a power storage device. The overall performance of the LIB is mostly determined by its principal components, which include the anode, cathode, electrolyte, separator, and current collector. The materials of the battery's various components are investigated. The general battery structure, concept, and materials are presented here, along with recent technological advances. There are numerous opportunities to overcome some significant constraints to battery performance, such as improved techniques and higher electrochemical performance materials. The future research approach has been directed toward improving the stability, strength, cyclic, and electrochemical performance of battery materials in each of these fields.
