The theoretical energy density of lithium-ion batteries can be estimated by the specific capacity of the cathode and anode materials and the working voltage. Therefore, to improve energy density of LIBs can increase the operating voltage and the specific capacity. Another two limitations are relatively slow charging speed and safety issue.
The energy density of the traditional lithium-ion battery technology is now close to the bottleneck, and there is limited room for further optimization. Now scientists are working on designing new types of batteries with high energy storage and long life span. In the automotive industry, the battery ultimately determines the life of vehicles.
The theoretical specific energy of Li-S batteries and Li-O 2 batteries are 2567 and 3505 Wh kg −1, which indicates that they leap forward in that ranging from Li-ion batteries to lithium–sulfur batteries and lithium–air batteries.
The breakthrough of the lithium-ion battery technology was triggered by the substitution of lithium metal as an anode active material by carbonaceous compounds, nowadays mostly graphite . Several comprehensive reviews partly or entirely focusing on graphite are available [28, , , , , ].
LIBs generally produce an average cell voltage of around 3.7 V and operate on the relatively simple principle of reversible intercalation of Li ions in the cathode and anode. The most commonly used material for the cathode is lithium cobalt oxide, LiCoO 2, and some form of carbon is generally used for the anode.
Taking the actual driving range of 300 km as example, the energy density of the power battery should be up to 250 Wh Kg −1, while the energy density of single LIBs should be 300 Wh Kg −1. The theoretical energy density of lithium-ion batteries can be estimated by the specific capacity of the cathode and anode materials and the working voltage.
