Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.
However, the practical application of nanostructured electrode materials in lithium metal batteries still faces challenges, such as the difficulty in achieving uniform and stable nanostructures, the requirement for expensive and complex preparation methods, and the safety issues associated with their utilization.
It would be unwise to assume ‘conventional’ lithium-ion batteries are approaching the end of their era and so we discuss current strategies to improve the current and next generation systems, where a holistic approach will be needed to unlock higher energy density while also maintaining lifetime and safety.
This comparison underscores the importance of selecting a battery chemistry based on the specific requirements of the application, balancing performance, cost, and safety considerations. Among the six leading Li-ion battery chemistries, NMC, LFP, and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) are recognized as superior candidates.
Simultaneously, the term “lithium-ion” was used to describe the batteries using a carbon-based material as the anode that inserts lithium at a low voltage during the charge of the cell, and Li 1−x CoO 2 as cathode material. Larger capacities and cell voltages than in the first generation were obtained ( Fig. 1 ).
Nonetheless, lithium-ion batteries are nowadays the technology of choice for essentially every application – despite the extensive research efforts invested on and potential advantages of other technologies, such as sodium-ion batteries [, , ] or redox-flow batteries [10, 11], for particular applications.
