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.
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.
Lithium is the third element in the periodic table. It has the most negative electrode potential and is stable only in non-aqueous electrolytes. It was not popular electrode material in battery community before 1970. Purification of organic solvents and lithium salts to remove water was especially hard work in each laboratory.
The positive electrode is activated carbon and the negative electrode is Li [Li 1/3 Ti 5/3 ]O 4. The idea has merit although the advantage of lithium-ion battery concept is limited because the concentration of lithium salt in electrolyte varies during charge and discharge.
The phosphate positive-electrode materials are less susceptible to thermal runaway and demonstrate greater safety characteristics than the LiCoO 2 -based systems. 7. New applications of lithium insertion materials As described in Section 6, current lithium-ion batteries consisting of LiCoO 2 and graphite have excellence in their performance.
Hence, the current scenario of electrode materials of Li-ion batteries can be highly promising in enhancing the battery performance making it more efficient than before. This can reduce the dependence on fossil fuels such as for example, coal for electricity production. 1. Introduction
High-capacity, fast-charging and long-life magnesium/black
Unlike alkali metal ion batteries, very few Mg-rich positive electrode materials of RMBs were developed so far, so the negative electrode materials must be in Mg-rich states.
