Abstract:

This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 6847 papers online from Feb. 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025. 100 of them were selected to be highlighted. The selected papers of cathode materials focus on high-nickel ternary layered oxides, and the effects of doping, interface modifications and structural evolution with prolonged cycling are investigated. For anode materials, silicon-based composite materials are improved by optimized electrode structure and new binders to mitigate the effects of volume changes. Efforts have also been devoted to design composite metal lithium anode and control 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 preparing liquid electrolytes to meet the requirements for battery applications. For solid-state batteries, the modification and surface coating of the cathode, the design of composite cathode, the interface to anode/electrolyte interface and 3D anode 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 optimization of electrolytes, and solid state lithium-sulfur battery has also drawn large attentions. Thick electrode preparation technology is applied to Li-ion batteries. There are also a few papers for the characterization techniques of structural phase transition of the cathode materials and the interfacial evolution of lithium deposition, while theoretical papers are mainly focused on the ion transport behaviors in solid state electrolytes.

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