“…[13,14] Based on these advantages, prototype lithium batteries have been constructed using nanoparticulate Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 in place of graphite ( Figure 3). [15] However, the capacity to store lithium is only half that of graphite, 150 mA h g À1 compared with 300 mA h g À1. This fact, combined with the reduced cell voltage because of the increased potential of the negative electrode, namely 0 to 1.5 V, leads to a reduced energy density.…”

Energy storage is more important today than at any time in human history. Future generations of rechargeable lithium batteries are required to power portable electronic devices (cellphones, laptop computers etc.), store electricity from renewable sources, and as a vital component in new hybrid electric vehicles. To achieve the increase in energy and power density essential to meet the future challenges of energy storage, new materials chemistry, and especially new nanomaterials chemistry, is essential. We must find ways of synthesizing new nanomaterials with new properties or combinations of properties, for use as electrodes and electrolytes in lithium batteries. Herein we review some of the recent scientific advances in nanomaterials, and especially in nanostructured materials, for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium batteries are receiving considerable attention as storage devices in the renewable energy and sustainable road transport fi elds. However, low-cost, long-life lithium batteries with higher energy densities are required to facilitate practical application. Here we report a lithium-ion battery that can be cycled at rates as high as 10 C has a life exceeding 500 cycles and an operating temperature range extending from − 20 to 55 ° C. The estimated energy density is 260 W h kg − 1 , which is considerably higher than densities delivered by the presently available Li-ion batteries.
