Abstract
The results of extensive, continuous research have significantly improved the performance of commercial lithium-ion batteries. An essential part of lithium-ion batteries is the cathode materials, which are used to regulate the cost, energy density, and operating voltage. Researchers have been looking for and altering different cathode materials over the last few decades. Compounding, coating, elemental doping, and other modification techniques are a few examples. Based on an overview of the operation of lithium-ion batteries, this paper systematically discusses the structural properties and modification of lithium battery cathode materials, such as LiCoO2, LiFePO4, LiMn2O4, and ternary materials. This review seeks to provide information on the direction of technological development in lithium-ion batteries, increase battery power and capacity, reduce the cost of lithium-ion batteries, and maintain and improve safety to better address the problems that society faces. It also discusses upcoming research on other popular lithium-ion cathode materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry publishes papers on all aspects of electrochemistry of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied work. It equally publishes papers on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions if at least one actively participating phase is solid. Also of interest are articles on the transport of ions and electrons in solids whenever these processes are relevant to electrochemical reactions and on the use of solid-state electrochemical reactions in the analysis of solids and their surfaces.
The journal covers solid-state electrochemistry and focusses on the following fields: mechanisms of solid-state electrochemical reactions, semiconductor electrochemistry, electrochemical batteries, accumulators and fuel cells, electrochemical mineral leaching, galvanic metal plating, electrochemical potential memory devices, solid-state electrochemical sensors, ion and electron transport in solid materials and polymers, electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, corrosion of solid materials, solid-state electroanalysis, electrochemical machining of materials, electrochromism and electrochromic devices, new electrochemical solid-state synthesis.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry makes the professional in research and industry aware of this swift progress and its importance for future developments and success in the above-mentioned fields.
