Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 7082 papers online from Aug. 1, 2025 to Sep. 30, 2025. 100 of them were selected to be highlighted. The selected papers of cathode materials focus on the effects of doping and interface modifications of high-nickel ternary materials, as well as the structural design of lithium-rich manganese-based materials. For anode materials, silicon-based composite materials are improved by optimized electrode structure. Efforts have also been devoted to designing composite metal lithium anode and controlling the inhomogeneous plating of lithium. The relation of structure design and performances of sulfide-based, chloride-based and polymer-based solid-state electrolytes has been extensively studied. Different combination of solvents, lithium salts, and functional additives are used for liquid electrolytes to meet the requirements for battery applications. For all solid state batteries, the modification and surface coating of the cathode, the design of composite cathode, the interface to anode/electrolyte interface have been widely investigated. Studies on lithium-sulfur batteries are mainly focused on the structural design of the cathode and the development of functional coating and electrolytes, and solid state lithium-sulfur battery has also drawn large attentions. Research on battery technology includes dry electrode processes, binder design, and the development of new battery technologies. There are a few papers for the characterization techniques of structural phase transition of the cathode materials and the interfacial evolution of lithium deposition. Theoretical papers are mainly related to electrolyte structure prediction as well as mechanisms of lithium deposition and interface formation.

Key words: lithium batteries, cathode material, anode material, solid state electrolyte, battery technology
