The utilization of metal oxides in battery application is tremendous and, an example, the first commercial lithium ion batteries by Sony Co. with LiCoO 2 as a cathode. Recently, Ni-rich layered oxide-based lithium ion batteries are on an edge of commercialization.
Li-ion batteries come in various compositions, with lithium-cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium-manganese oxide (LMO), lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP), lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC), and lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminium oxide (NCA) being among the most common. Graphite and its derivatives are currently the predominant materials for the anode.
Similarly binary metal oxides with general formulas of AB 2 O 4 (where A and B are transition metals), ABO 4, ABO 2, ABO 3, and A 2 B 3 O 8 (where A and B are suitable oxidation state of transition metals) are well documented for high capacity anodes for lithium ion batteries.
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.
Among the manganese-based oxides subjected for battery application, MnO 2, a well-known candidate since from the birth of alkaline battery in early 1950s, is still being utilized for producing high energy and power densities in aqueous electrolyte.
Interestingly, metal oxides are well capable for sodium intercalation/de-intercalation such as Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 which were well studied and show low storage capacity of ~ 300 mAh g -1, much lower than hard carbon, which may not be suitable for high energy sodium ion batteries.
