Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper highlights a comprehensive overview of the latest research on lithium batteries. A total of 4463 online studies from June 1, 2023, to July 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 including Li-rich oxides, LiNiO2, LiCoO2, and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4. Investigations into the effects of doping, interface modifications and preparation of precursors on their electrochemical performances and structural evolution during prolonged cycling are discussed. The methods for improving the cycling performances of Si-based anode focus on the interface modification. Great efforts have been devoted to construction of artificial interface, 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, the design of composite cathode, inhibition of Li dendrite and side reactions, and preparation of electrolyte film are studied. The works for lithium-sulfur batteries are mainly focused on the activation of sulfur and to suppress the "shuttle effect". In addition, this review presents work related to dry electrode coating technology, and the characterization techniques for lithium deposition, silicon evolution and lithium-ion transport in the cathode. Theoretical simulations are directed to the stress and conductivity distribution of composite cathode and lithium deposition. This review provides valuable insights into the advancements in lithium batteries, contributing to the overall understanding and progress in the field.
