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

Abstract

Recently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely employed in automobiles, mining operations, space applications, marine vessels and submarines, and defense or military applications. As an anode, commercial carbon or carbon-based materials have some critical issues such as insufficient charge capacity and power density, low working voltage, deadweight formation, short-circuiting tendency initiated from dendrite formation, device warming up, etc., which have led to a search for carbon alternatives. Transition metal oxides (TMOs) such as NiO as an anode can be used as a substitute for carbon material. However, NiO has some limitations such as low coulombic efficiency, low cycle stability, and poor ionic conductivity. These limitations can be overcome through the use of different nanostructures. This present study reviews the integration of the electrochemical performance of binder involved nanocomposite of NiO as an anode of a LIB. This review article aims to epitomize the synthesis and characterization parameters such as specific discharge/charge capacity, cycle stability, rate performance, and cycle ability of a nanocomposite anode. An overview of possible future advances in NiO nanocomposites is also proposed.

Current Trends and Promising Electrode Materials in Micro-Supercapacitor Printing

“…Cobalt oxides as well as nickel oxide do not lose their high relevance as components of supercapacitors and batteries due to high values of theoretical specific capacitance (Co 3 O 4 : 3560 F/g [ 81 ]; NiO: 2584 F/g [ 82 ]), chemical and thermal stability, low toxicity, and their commercial availability [ 83 , 84 , 85 ]. Researchers combine various synthetic approaches and printing techniques to form electrode structures of complex geometry with a diversified, often hierarchically organized, microstructure, which makes a significant positive contribution to the desired electrochemical characteristics of the resulting planar nanostructures [ 86 , 87 ].…”

Enhanced photocatalytic and electrochemical performance of hydrothermally prepared NiO‐doped Co nanocomposites

“…Nanostructured NiO is utilized in hightech applications such as smart windows, electrochemical supercapacitors, and desensitized photocathodes. Various methods have been explored to synthesize NiO nanoparticles, including sol-gel, solvothermal, hydrothermal, chemical, sonochemical, microemulsion, and thermal decomposition [6][7][8][9][10]. NiO nanoparticles are promising components for dye-sensitive solar cells (DSSCs) due to their favorable electronic properties, such as high electron mobility and suitable energy levels for efficient charge transfer processes.…”

Co‐MOF as Stress‐Buffered Architecture: An Engineering for Improving the Performance of NiS/SnO2 Heterojunction in Lithium Storage

“…[3,4] So far, many alternative electrodes with superior power density and ultralong cycling life have been developed to solve the above mentioned issues. [5][6][7][8] Typically, metal oxides (MO) [9,10] and metal sulfides (MS) [11,12] have been widely studied due to the advantages of high capacity and low potential. However, the low intrinsic electrical conductivity and severe volume expansion during lithiation/de-lithiation process restrict their rate capability and cycle lifespan.…”
