The limitations in potential for the electroactive material of the negative electrode are less important than in the past thanks to the advent of 5 V electrode materials for the cathode in lithium-cell batteries. However, to maintain cell voltage, a deep study of new electrolyte–solvent combinations is required.
In commonly used batteries, the negative electrode is graphite with a specific electrochemical capacity of 370 mA h/g and an average operating potential of 0.1 V with respect to Li/Li +. There are a large number of anode materials with higher theoretical capacity that could replace graphite in the future.
The electrochemical reaction at the negative electrode in Li-ion batteries is represented by x Li + +6 C +x e − → Li x C 6 The Li + -ions in the electrolyte enter between the layer planes of graphite during charge (intercalation). The distance between the graphite layer planes expands by about 10% to accommodate the Li + -ions.
Since the cracking of carbon materials when used as negative electrodes in lithium batteries is very small, several allotropes of carbon can be used, including amorphous carbon, hard carbon, graphite, carbon nanofibers, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT), and graphene .
Mainly, the high solubility in aqueous electrolytes of the ZnO produced during cell discharge in the negative electrode favors a poor reproducibility of the electrode surface exposed to the electrolyte with risk of formation of zinc dendrites during charge. In order to avoid this problem, mixing with graphite has favorable effects.
The origins of such a poor cycling performance are diverse. Mainly, the high solubility in aqueous electrolytes of the ZnO produced during cell discharge in the negative electrode favors a poor reproducibility of the electrode surface exposed to the electrolyte with risk of formation of zinc dendrites during charge.
