A review on binder‐free NiO‐Ni foam as anode of high performance lithium‐ion batteries

Abstract

In recent times, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in the fields of small electronic devices, wearable electronic devices, and automobiles. In the light of some current research on LIBs investigated on replacing commercial carbonaceous anode materials with transition metal oxides such as NiO due to its high theoretical capacity of 718 mAh g À1 . However, NiO still suffers from low cycling stability, low coulombic efficiency, and low rate capability resulting from large volume expansion and poor electrical conductivity which greatly limits the development of large-capacity LIBs. To overcome these barriers, various NiO electrodes with different morphologies and physical structures are developed. In this review, we introduce and summarize the electrochemical performances of binder-free NiO-Ni foam as anode of LIBs.

A Review on Recent Advancements of Ni-NiO Nanocomposite as an Anode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Battery

“…However, the slurry-coated nanocomposite synthesis route is very facile and simple whereas the synthesis of binder-free NiO foam nanocomposite electrode requires an argon environment, while the pore size and thickness of the foam also need to be controlled [ 144 ]. In addition, the binder-free material suffers from poor electronic conductivity problems [ 145 ] whereas the binder incorporates conductive carbon and parental metal powder which facilitates the electronic conduction of the electrode material.…”

TiO2 as an Anode of High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Comprehensive Review towards Practical Application

“…Higher energy density both per unit weight and per unit volume have made LIBs lightweight. Moreover, their long useful life, green technology, easier manufacturing process, low production cost, and lack of memory effect are the other sources of attraction for LIBs [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. M. Stanley Whittingham, while working for the oil company Exxon, first proposed the idea of rechargeable LIBs in the 1970s.…”

Nanostructured anatase TiO2 as anode of high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries

“…Development of new anode materials for LIBs is now targeting to overcome the usual dead weight formation issues and consequential capacity fade in conventional graphite anodes. Hence, the synthesis of binder‐free anode materials is a burning research focus of the researchers 32 …”

“…Hence, the synthesis of binder-free anode materials is a burning research focus of the researchers. 32 In this study, we have prepared nanostructured anatase TiO 2 (NSA-TiO 2 ) with an enormous number of pores through a simple anodization technique followed by annealing. The anatase phase was targeted due to its high electroactive nature rather than other polymorphs of TiO 2 .…”
