Abstract

Abstract: This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 1573 papers online from June 1,2015 to July 31,2015. 100 of them were selected to be highlighted. Layered oxide and high voltage spinel cathode materials are still under extensive investigations for the structure evolution and modifications. Large efforts were devoted to Si based composite anode material. There are a few papers related to electrolyte additives, solid state electrolyte, Li/S and Li-air batteries, and more papers for analyzing the fading and thermal safety mechanism of the cell.

Key words: lithium batteries, cathode materials, anode materials, electrolyte, battery technology
