Recent advantages and future prospects of cathode materials towards the exploration of future-generation LIBs have also been highlighted in this review, aiming to remarkably reduce the cost and enhance the efficiency of future LIBs, which may revolutionize the transportation way and various aspects of our lives. 1. Introduction
Lithium-rich cathode materials are a key development in the evolution of NMC cathodes. LMR-NMC cathode materials promising exceedingly high specific capacities (280 mAh/g for LMR-NMC versus 200 mAh/g for NMC811) due to the large amount of lithium incorporated within the material’s structure.
Herein, we summarized recent literatures on the properties and limitations of various types of cathode materials for LIBs, such as Layered transition metal oxides, spinel oxides, polyanion compounds, conversion-type cathode and organic cathodes materials.
Two materials currently dominate the choice of cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries: lithium iron phosphate (LFP), which is relatively inexpensive, and nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) or nickel-cobalt-alumina (NCA), which are convincing on the market due to their higher energy density, i.e. their ability to store electrical energy.
Chinese manufacturers such as China Aviation Lithium Battery (CALB) and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) account for a large share of LFP cathode production. In the production of NMC cathodes, manufacturers such as CATL, but also the Korean companies Sk On and LGES are active.
Especially, after the award of 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of LIBs, it is illuminating to recall at the evolution of the cathode chemistry which made the modern lithium-ion technology realistic.
Developments in lithium-ion battery cathodes
Commercial battery chemistries are rapidly evolving, driven by market demands, improved cathode materials and electrification of transport. Existing cathode chemistries such as lithium iron phosphate and lithium nickel manganese cobalt batteries continue to fulfil market requirements.
