The combination of conversion-type cathodes and solid-state electrolytes offers a promising avenue for the development of solid-state lithium batteries with high energy density and low cost. 1. Introduction
With the rapid expansion of electric vehicles and energy storage markets, the rising demand for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, as opposed to the limited reserves of lithium resources, poses a great challenge to the widespread penetration of this advanced battery technology.
Traditional lithium-ion batteries consist of graphitic anodes, polyolefin separators, organic liquid electrolytes, and intercalation-type lithium transition metal oxides/phosphate cathodes. Among these, the cathode material is the key component that limits the energy density of lithium-ion/lithium metal batteries [ 1, 2, 3 ].
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries of today operate by an electrochemical process that involves intercalation reactions that warrants the use of electrode materials having very specific structures and properties. Further, they are limited to the insertion of one Li per 3D metal.
Through the discovery of conversion or displacement reactions, it is possible to reversibly change by more than one unit. Further, the need for materials with open structures or good electronic ionic conductivity is eliminated, thus leading to a new area in materials for lithium ion battery.
The review highlighted the high capacity and high power characteristics of Li-ion batteries makes them highly relevant for use in large-scale energy storage systems to store intermittent renewable energy harvested from sources like solar and wind and for use in electric vehicles to replace polluting internal combustion engine vehicles.
