Abstract

Abstract: This bimonthly review paper highlights 90 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 971 papers online from Dec. 1,2013 to Jan. 31,2014. 90 of them were selected to be highlighted. Layered oxide and high voltage spinel cathode materials are still under extensive investigations. Large efforts were devoted to Si based anode materials and composite carboneceous anode, additives for electrolyte. There are few papers related to Li-S battery, Li-air battery and more papers related to theoretical simulations, cell analyses and modeling.
