A Short Review of Li-ion Battery Materials: Recent Advancements and Research Gaps

Abstract

This review explores the current state of research on lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery materials, with a focus on key findings and research gaps. Li-ion batteries have revolutionized the portable electronics and electric vehicle industries, but their performance and safety still face challenges. This review discusses the major components of Li-ion batteries, including cathode, anode, electrolyte, and separator materials, and evaluates recent developments and limitations in each category. It also discusses the prospects and emerging trends in Li-ion battery material research. The review aims to provide insights into the state of the art, highlight areas where further research is needed, and contribute to the ongoing efforts to advance Li-ion battery technology.
