Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent research and developments in the field of lithium batteries. Our search of the Web of Science yielded 3714 papers from February 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023, from which we selected 100 for highlighting. One noteworthy area of investigation is the use of high-nickel ternary layered oxides and LiNiO2 as cathode materials, with extensive investigations of how doping and interface modifications affect their electrochemical performances, as well as monitoring of surface and bulk evolution of structures during prolonged cycling. For anode materials, researchers focus mainly on silicon-based composite materials optimizing electrode structures to mitigate the effects of volume changes, while also emphasizing the importance of functional binders and interface modification. Efforts have also been devoted to designing the three-dimensional electrode structures, modifying the interface, and mitigating inhomogeneity plating of lithium metal anodes. Research on solid-state electrolytes is mainly focused on designing and optimizing their structure and performance, particularly in sulfide-, oxide-, chloride-, and polymer-based solid-state electrolytes and their composites. Liquid electrolytes similarly benefit from the use of optimized solvents, lithium salts, and functional additives for different battery applications. For solid-state batteries, the studies are mainly focused on the suitability of layered oxide cathode materials with sulfide based- and chloride based-solid-state electrolytes. Additionally, researchers are investigating composite sulfur cathodes with a high ion/electron conductive matrix and functional binders to suppress the “shuttle effect” and activate sulfur in Li-S batteries. Other relevant works are also presented to the dry electrode coating technology. There are a few papers for the characterization techniques of lithium-ion transport in the cathode and lithium deposition. Ultimately, theoretical calculations are carried out to better understand the stability of solid electrolytes and the interface between the solid-state electrolyte and Li.
