The transformation of critical lithium ores, such as spodumene and brine, into battery-grade materials is a complex and evolving process that plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries.
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
Although the invention of new battery materials leads to a significant decrease in the battery cost, the US DOE ultimate target of $80/kWh is still a challenge (U.S. Department Of Energy, 2020). The new manufacturing technologies such as high-efficiency mixing, solvent-free deposition, and fast formation could be the key to achieve this target.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become one of the main energy storage solutions in modern society. The application fields and market share of LIBs have increased rapidly and continue to show a steady rising trend. The research on LIB materials has scored tremendous achievements.
Compared with intercalation-type cathode materials, conversion-type cathode materials have potential advantages in energy density, making them formidable contenders for application in high energy density lithium batteries.
2.1.2. Battery operating principle During the initial charging process, lithium ions move from the cathode material through the separator and intercalate into the graphite layers of the anode. Simultaneously, lithium bonds on the graphite surface to form a SEI.
