Assessing n‐type organic materials for lithium batteries: A techno‐economic review

Alessandro Innocenti,
Henry Adenusi,
Stefano Passerini

Abstract: The high demand for critical minerals such as lithium, copper, nickel, and cobalt, required for lithium‐ion batteries, has raised questions regarding the feasibility of maintaining a steady and affordable supply of raw materials for their production. In the last years, researchers have shifted their attention toward organic materials, which are potentially more widely available, affordable, and sustainable due to the ubiquitous presence of the constituent organic elements. The n‐type materials have a redox mec… Show more

“…With the increased demand for renewable energy, there is an urgent need to develop electrochemical energy storage systems with excellent performance, including high energy density, superior rate capability, and good cyclability. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Owing to its extremely high energy density (around 3600 Wh kg −1 ), the aprotic Li-O 2 battery, one of the most technologically advanced energy conversion and storage systems, has received much attention. 8-10 However, its widespread application is limited because of the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction and…”

“…[5][6][7] However, the cost of using LIBs has steadily increased, attributed to the scarcity of reserves of lithium, uneven distribution of mineral resources, and high recovery expenses. [8][9][10] In contrast, sodium and potassium belong to the same main group as lithium, possessing similar physical and chemical properties, and their content in the crust is hundreds of times higher than that of lithium element (Table 1). 11 The distribution of mineral resources is uniform, reducing mining and usage costs.…”

“…Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have become one of the most widely used batteries in the world owing to their high energy density and long cycle life 5–7 . However, the cost of using LIBs has steadily increased, attributed to the scarcity of reserves of lithium, uneven distribution of mineral resources, and high recovery expenses 8–10 . In contrast, sodium and potassium belong to the same main group as lithium, possessing similar physical and chemical properties, and their content in the crust is hundreds of times higher than that of lithium element (Table 1).…”
