Advanced composites of complex Ti-based oxides as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are increasingly used in portable electronics due to their high energy densities, long cycle life, low self-discharge properties, and environmentally friendly features. To satisfy future large-scale energy storage, the development of high-performance electrode materials is highly important. Complex Ti-based oxides (such as Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 and Li-M-Ti-O) have interesting properties for anode applications, including good safety performance and high cyclic stability. However, most of the complex Ti-based oxides suffer from low electronic conductivities and insufficient Li + -ion diffusion coefficients, significantly limiting their rate capabilities. In general, compositing is an effective strategy to tackle this issue. Comprehensively good electrochemical performance can be achieved in the composites arising from the complementarity and correlation of the components. This review focuses on the composite characteristics and compositing methods of the complex Ti-based oxides for highperformance lithium-ion storage. The relations among the material composition, material fabrication, material structure, material property and LIB performance are emphasized. In addition, a vista of future research and development in this research field is also presented.

Technologies of lithium recycling from waste lithium ion batteries: a review

“…From the first commercialization in 1991, the lithium-ion battery has been a core energy technology and it has been continuously researched for several decades for the development of the future energy market. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Lithium is attracting attention as it is a key element of lithium-ion batteries. However, lithium is not evenly distributed around the world and is a limited element.…”

Constructing Janus SnSSe and graphene heterostructures as promising anode materials for Li‐ion batteries

“…At present, the booming smart electronics market and growing demand for advanced battery systems have led to a great deal of research work on the high-performance electrode materials. [1][2][3][4][5][6] As commercial electrochemical cells, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have a wide range of applications in many fields, like telephones, computers, as well as in current rechargeable cars [7][8][9][10] due to the tremendous advantages of dense energy densities, 11,12 large storage capacities, [13][14][15][16] long-term cyclabilities, [17][18][19] and huge electromotive force. 20,21 The single-layered structure of graphene obtained through experiments is used in electrode materials due to its larger specific surface areas, lower diffusion barrier, and wider voltage window.…”

Garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 Solid-State Electrolyte: Environmental Corrosion, Countermeasures and Applications

“…Safety of solid-state electrochemical devices is significantly better than conventional Li-ion batteries due to reduced risk of liquid electrolyte leakage/burning and electrode chemical/physical short circuits. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The key scientific challenge for the development of solid-state devices is focused on the solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), which requires high Liion conductivity, good chemical/thermal stability, non-toxic, and simple manufacturing process. Although a large number of SSE materials have been reported, the candidate materials are very limited for solid-state devices.…”
