Abstract

Abstract: This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 1890 papers online from Dec. 1,2014 to Jan. 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 and Sn based anode material. There are a few papers related to electrolyte additives, solid state electrolyte, Li/S battery, Li-air battery and more papers related to cell analyses, theoretical simulations, and modeling.
