Abstract

In the last three decades, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become one of the most influential technologies in the world, allowing the widespread adoption of consumer electronics and now electric vehicles (EVs), a key technology for tackling climate change. Decades of research in both academia and industry have led to the development of diverse chemistries for LIB components, aligning these technological advancements with global carbon neutrality goals. In this article, we discuss the fundamental materials chemistries employed in LIBs for EVs, focusing on how materials-level properties influence the electrochemical performance of the battery. We elaborate on factors such as supply-chain sustainability, raw materials availability, and geopolitical influences that shape the market dynamics of these battery materials. Additionally, we delve into current innovative materials design strategies aimed at enhancing the performance of LIBs, with a focus on improving energy density, safety, stability, and fast-charging capabilities. Finally, we offer our insights into the future trajectory of EV batteries, considering the ongoing research trends and evolving landscape of EVs in the context of global efforts toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation system.

用锂离子电池推动电动汽车发展：材料和可持续性视角

在过去的三十年里，锂离子电池（LIB）已成为世界上最具影响力的技术之一，使消费电子产品得以广泛应用，现在又使电动汽车（EV）成为应对气候变化的一项关键技术。经过学术界和工业界数十年的研究，锂离子电池组件的化学成分日趋多样化，使这些技术进步与全球碳中和目标相一致。在本文中，我们将讨论电动汽车锂电池所采用的基本材料化学，重点关注材料层面的特性如何影响电池的电化学性能。我们详细阐述了影响这些电池材料市场动态的供应链可持续性、原材料可用性和地缘政治影响等因素。此外，我们还深入探讨了当前旨在提高锂电池性能的创新材料设计策略，重点是提高能量密度、安全性、稳定性和快速充电能力。最后，我们将对电动汽车电池的未来发展轨迹提出自己的见解，同时考虑到当前的研究趋势以及电动汽车在全球努力建设更可持续、更环保的交通系统的背景下不断发展的格局。图表摘要
