Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.
It is also expected that demand for lithium-ion batteries will increase up to tenfold by 2030, according to the US Department for Energy, so manufacturers are constantly building battery plants to keep up. Lithium mining can be controversial as it can take several years to develop and has a considerable impact on the environment.
"It would greatly improve the EV market -- and the whole lithium-ion battery market." First commercialized by Sony in the early 1990s, LIBs sparked an explosion in personal electronics, like smartphones and tablets. The technology eventually advanced to fuel electric vehicles, providing a reliable, rechargeable, high-density energy source.
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, , , , , ].
In fact, compared to other emerging battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries have the great advantage of being commercialized already, allowing for at least a rough estimation of what might be possible at the cell level when reporting the performance of new cell components in lab-scale devices.
A multi-institutional research team led by Georgia Tech's Hailong Chen has developed a new, low-cost cathode that could radically improve lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) -- potentially transforming the electric vehicle (EV) market and large-scale energy storage systems.
