Traditional and Iterative Group-IV Material Batteries through Ion Migration

Abstract

In this review, we emphasize the significant potential of carbon group element-based (Group-IV) electrochemical energy devices prepared on the basis of ion migration in the realm of high-efficiency batteries. Based primarily on our group research findings, we elucidate the key advantages of traditional Group-IV materials as electrodes in ion batteries powered by metal ion migration. Subsequently, we delve into the operational principles and research progress of iterative Group-IV material moisture ion batteries, driven by ion migration through external moisture. Finally, considering the practical challenges and issues in real-world applications, we offer prospects for the development and commercialization of Group-IV materials utilizing ion migration in both conventional and next-generation battery technologies.
