Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper highlights a comprehensive overview of the latest research on lithium batteries. A total of 3612 online studies from April 1, 2023, to May 31, 2023, were examined through the Web of Science database, and 100 studies were selected for highlighting in this review. The selected studies cover various aspects of lithium batteries, focusing on cathode materials such as LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and LiCoO2. Investigations into the effects of doping and interface modifications on their electrochemical performances and structural evolution during prolonged cycling are discussed. For alloying mechanisms in anode materials, such as silicon-based composite materials, many researchers emphasize material preparation, optimization of electrode structures to buffer volume changes, and the application of functional binders and interface modification. Great efforts have been devoted to designing three-dimensional electrode structures, interface modifications, and controlling the inhomogeneous plating of lithium metal anode. Studies on solid-state electrolytes focus on the structure design and performances in sulfide-based, chloride-based, and polymer-based solid-state electrolytes and their composites. In contrast, liquid electrolytes are improved through optimal solvent and lithium salt design for different battery applications and incorporating novel functional additives. For solid-state batteries, studies mainly investigate the compatibility of layered oxide cathode materials with sulfide-based and oxide-based solid-state electrolytes. To address the challenges in Li-S batteries, composite sulfur cathode with high ion/electron conductive matrix and functional binders are explored to suppress the "shuttle effect" and activate sulfur. Additionally, this review presents work related to dry electrode coating technology, characterization techniques of lithium-ion transport in the cathode, lithium deposition, and theoretical calculations to understand electrolyte viscosity and the solid-state electrolyte/cathode interface. This review provides valuable insights into the advancements in lithium batteries, contributing to the overall understanding and progress in the field.
