Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recently published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 5155 papers from October 1, 2023, to November 30, 2023. The selected studies focus on various aspects of lithium batteries. Investigations on LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and Li-rich oxide cathode materials have focused on the effects of doping, grain boundary engineering, and structural evolution during prolonged cycling. Structural electrodes and designed adhesives are the main methods for improving the cycling performances of Si-based anodes. The skeleton structure design of lithium metal anode has attracted significant attention. Studies on solid-state electrolytes include the structure design and performances in chloride-based, sulfide-based, polymer-based, and oxide-based solid-state electrolytes. Conversely, liquid electrolytes can be improved by optimizing the solvent and lithium salt design for different battery applications and new functional additives can be used. For solid-state batteries, the modification and surface coating of the cathode, interface construction and three-dimensional structural design of the lithium metal anode, ion transport properties of solid-state electrolytes, and performance improvement strategies for solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries have been widely investigated. Studies on lithium-sulfur batteries are mainly based on the structural design of the cathode and the development of functional coating and liquid electrolytes. There have been few studies on electrode structure conductive agents and binders, dry methods for making electrodes, new preparation methods of graphite-based anodes, and electrolyte design for lithium-oxygen batteries. Characterization techniques of ion transport and reaction kinetics in electrodes, lithium deposition morphology and SEI structural evolution in electrolytes, the microstructure of composite positive electrodes in solid-state batteries, and interface of lithium metal anode are presented. Theoretical simulations are directed to the control mechanism of inducing lithium dendrites.
