Fast-charging anodes for lithium ion batteries: progress and challenges

Abstract

Slow charging speed has been a serious constraint to the promotion of electric vehicles (EVs), and therefore the development of advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with fast-charging capability has become an...

Soft carbon in non-aqueous rechargeable batteries: a review of its synthesis, carbonization mechanism, characterization, and multifarious applications

“…21 Similarly, intercalation-type niobate and titanate anodes are thermally safer alternatives to graphite to couple with phosphate cathodes in a high-power LIB pack under the circumstances of fast charging. 22 Graphite undergoes severe lithium plating under elevated charge currents, compromising the safety of the LIB pack, while the niobate and titanate anodes are specially designed to withstand higher current rates without structural deterioration and lithium plating. However, the poor electronic conductivity (10 −13 S cm −1 for titanates) can be taken care of by applying a carbon coating.…”

Review on Interface Issues between a Garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 Solid Electrolyte and Li Anode: Advances and Perspectives

“…Lithium-ion battery technology, heralded as a brilliant new star in the constellation of modern human civilization, plays an indispensable role in the domain of energy. − Since its inception, lithium-ion batteries have garnered global visibility and favor because of their high energy density, long lifespan, and stability, establishing themselves as the preferred power solution for portable electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and even electric vehicles. However, with the rapid advancement of technology and the ever-growing energy demands of humanity, the constraints of lithium-ion batteries, for instance, limited energy density, pollution concerns, and inadequate security conditions during energy storage, have greatly hindered their development .…”

Over-lithiated NCM through Li5FeO4 for high energy silicon-based lithium-ion batteries

“…The emerging portable electronic devices and electric vehicles demand high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. 1–5 Today, their energy density needs further improvement to meet the demands of growing energy storage applications. 6–9 Over the past decade, the nickel-rich layered oxide cathode (LiNi x Co y Mn 1− x − y O 2 , x ≥ 0.6, Ni-rich NCM) in combination with a graphite anode has emerged as a prominent cell system.…”
