Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper examines 100 recent studies on lithium batteries, selected from a pool of 6,423 papers published between April 1, 2024 and May 31, 2024 by searching through the Web of Science database. Research on layered oxide cathodes, including Ni-rich oxides and lithium-rich materials, is still under extensive investigations in terms of the modification of doping and coating. For the alloying mechanism of anode materials, beside the 3D structural design, many researchers pay attention to binders. Research on solid-state electrolytes primarily focuses on the synthesis, doping, structural design, and stability of pre-existing materials and development of new materials. Investigations into liquid electrolytes mainly concentrate on optimizing solvent and lithium salt compositions for various battery systems and testing new functional additives. While more studies related to solid-state Li-S batteries have been published, the design of composite cathodes and modification of solid-state battery interfaces continue to draw large attentions. Efforts in liquid-electrolyte Li-S batteries are mainly focused on improving S activity and mitigating the "shuttle effect." Additional research in liquid-electrolyte battery technology targets novel electrode fabrication methods and the suppression of dendrite formation and side reactions on lithium interfaces. The field also encompasses numerous studies on the measurement and analysis of battery heat production and gas composition, failure mechanisms, thermal runaway, interfacial stability, etc.

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