Positive electrodes for Li-ion and lithium batteries (also termed “cathodes”) have been under intense scrutiny since the advent of the Li-ion cell in 1991. This is especially true in the past decade.
The practical application of emerging electrode materials requires more advanced research techniques, especially the combination of experiment and theory, for material design and engineering implementation. Despite the property of high energy density, the future development of electrode materials also needs attention on the following aspects:
In 2017, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) was the most extensively utilized cathode electrode material for lithium ion batteries due to its high safety, relatively low cost, high cycle performance, and flat voltage profile.
Ultimately, the development of electrode materials is a system engineering, depending on not only material properties but also the operating conditions and the compatibility with other battery components, including electrolytes, binders, and conductive additives. The breakthroughs of electrode materials are on the way for next-generation batteries.
Lithium metal was used as a negative electrode in LiClO 4, LiBF 4, LiBr, LiI, or LiAlCl 4 dissolved in organic solvents. Positive-electrode materials were found by trial-and-error investigations of organic and inorganic materials in the 1960s.
Ohzuku 83 and Dahn in Canada have synthesized LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 2 and LiNi 1/3 Mn 1/3 Co 1/3 O 2, using the nickel/manganese.co-precipitate and the nickel/manganese/cobalt co-precipitate, which are precursors developed in this company. Such cathode materials attract much attention because of the large battery capacity.
