Abstract

Energy storage devices such as batteries hold great importance for society, owing to their high energy density, environmental benignity and low cost. However, critical issues related to their performance and safety still need to be resolved. The periodic table of elements is pivotal to chemistry, physics, biology and engineering and represents a remarkable scientific breakthrough that sheds light on the fundamental laws of nature. Here, we provide an overview of the role of the most prominent elements, including s-block, p-block, transition and inner-transition metals, as electrode materials for lithium-ion battery systems regarding their perspective applications and fundamental properties. We also outline hybrid materials, such as MXenes, transition metal oxides, alloys and graphene oxide. Finally, the challenges and prospects of each element and their derivatives and hybrids for future battery systems are discussed, which may provide guidance towards green, low-cost, versatile and sustainable energy storage devices.

Energy storage is critical to our everyday lives and is one of the most important solutions for addressing the current energy crisis
The results show that the press has an excellent performance of 1129 mAh g-1 2022/1/11at 0.2 A g-1 and excellent cycling stability over 130 cycles, while the capacity retention is 98% over 1200 cycles at 5 A g . -1[187] The direct anchoring of continuous MIO nanofilms on the surface of graphene nanosheets (GNSs) as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anode materials via an in situ thermal decomposition method was examined and the shrinking effect of the GNSs on the change of volume of MIO at the molecular level was reported
Emerging electrochemical energy storage devices will play a vital role in the future energy systems of the world

Summary

Introduction

Energy storage is critical to our everyday lives and is one of the most important solutions for addressing the current energy crisis. The air-stabilized lithium cathode material, which is based on the main chain of 1,4-benzenedisulfonate, contains two sulfonate groups, which improves the reaction potential to 3.25 V and maintains a reversible capacity of 100 mAh g-1 over 50 cycles at C/20 [Figure 5B][60,61].
