Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the leading energy storage systems in BEVs and are projected to grow significantly in the foreseeable future. They are composed of a cathode, usually containing a mix of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese; an anode, made of graphite; and an electrolyte, comprised of lithium salts.
From 2001 to 2008, early players like BYD, Shenzhen Bike Battery, and Tianjin Lishen Battery have grown their investments in battery research and brought growth to the Chinese lithium battery industry. However, there were moments of stagnation during this period with issues of scaling and meaning the demands from across the world.
China produced more than 15 billion units of lithium-ion batteries in 2019, which accounts for 73% of the world's 316 gigawatt-hours capacity. China is a significant producer of lithium batteries and electric vehicles, supported by government policies.
This study demonstrates the benefits of using chitosan for not only lithium–sulfur batteries but also potentially other sulfur-based battery applications. Chitosan with abundant hydroxyl and amine groups as an additive for cathodes and separators has been proven to be an effective polysulfide trapping agent in lithium–sulfur batteries.
Since 2015, China surpassed Japan, Korea, and the rest of the world and became the largest exporter of lithium batteries. Combined with Japan and Korea, the countries account for 95% of lithium battery production in the world. China has the fourth-largest known lithium reserve with 1 million tons, behind Chile, Australia, and Argentina.
The market capitalization for lithium batteries in China is estimated at 190 billion yuan (approximately 30 billion dollars) and is projected to reach 268 billion yuan (42 billion dollars) by 2026.

The realization of a practical lithium sulfur battery system, despite its high theoretical specific capacity, is severely limited by fast capacity decay, which is mainly attributed to polysulfide dissolution and shuttle effect. To address this issue, we designed a thin cathode inactive material interlayer modified separator to block polysulfides. There are two advantages for this strategy ...
