Metal-Ion Batteries: Achievements, Challenges, and Prospects

Abstract

A new type of battery known as metal-ion batteries promises better performance than existing batteries. In terms of energy storage, they could prove useful and eliminate some of the problems existing batteries face. This review aims to help academics and industry work together better. It will propose ways to measure the performance of metal-ion batteries using important factors such as capacity, convertibility, Coulombic efficiency, and electrolyte consumption. With the development of technology, a series of metal ion-based batteries are expected to hit the market. This review presents the latest innovative research findings on the fabrication of metal-ion batteries with new techniques.
