Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 3128 papers online from Apr. 1, 2022 to May 31, 2022. 100 of them were selected to be highlighted. High-nickel ternary layered oxides, LiNiO2-LiCoO2 and Li-rich oxides as cathode materials are still under extensive investigations for surface coating, preparation of precursors and structural evolution with cycling. Reasearchs for anode focus on surface coating of the composite SiO/C anodes, 3D structure design and surface reconstruction of metallic lithium anode. Various solid state electrolytes including oxide, sulfide and composite materials have been studied. Meanwhile, large efforts are still devoted to liquid electrolytes for the optimizing the electrolyte for Li or graphite anode, and the high-voltage cathode materials, suppressing dissolution of transition metal ions and side reaction as well as improving low tempretuature performance and safety of Li-ion cell. For solid-state batteries, there are a few papers related to the design of composite cathode, bi-layer electrolyte, and inhibition of Li dendrite and side reactions. Other relevant works are also presented to cathode design of lithium sulfur battery using liquid electrolyte, lithium supplement and prelithiation technology. The characterization techniques are focused on dissolution of transition metal ions and structure transformation of layered oxides, SEI formation, electrochemical and chemical stability of the sulfide electrolytes. Theoretical simulations are directed to lithium-ion transportation mechanism in solid electrolytes and solid state electrolyte/Li interface.
