A critical review of recent progress on lithium ion batteries: Challenges, applications, and future prospects

Abstract

Li-based batteries are significantly advanced in both the commercial and research spheres during the past 30 years. The history of lithium-based batteries is rife with innovations and backtracking steps, from the earliest lithium metal anode interactions of the modern commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, in the early twentieth century, research on LIBs places more emphasis on solid-state physics, and researchers started paying more attention to the morphology of electrode materials. Different performance parameters – energy, electricity, cycle life, safety, costs and environmental impact-often need to be compensated depending on application and are linked to difficult material chemistry problems. Cell phones and a number of other portable electrical devices are currently employing Li-ion rechargeable batteries as their power source & demand for them seems to be rising quickly. The Li-ion rechargeable battery has become developed in the growth sector with significant momentum for its research as a result of the concern over the energy sources, either for large-scale batteries for electricity power storage or for electric vehicles (EV). The current study of the materials that design anode, electrolyte, and cathode is presented here, along with the state-of-the-art of Li-ion battery technology, & the underlying issues related with their development, benefits, and drawbacks are explored. In this review, we will conclude the research on the current modern battery as well as a brief discussion of battery chemistry other than lithium-ion. The paper finally identifies practically workable near-term strategies which considered the significant difficulties with some major techniques.
