PRESENT DEVELOPMENT OF ANODE MATERIALS IN LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES: A REVIEW

Abstract

Recently the world is suffering from insufficiency of natural energy resources in comparison to higher energy consumption, lack of environmental health (Climate change, Air-pollution, plastic waste and so on) and the sudden enhanced usage of- portable electronics, electric vehicles, HEV on daily bases- motivates scientist to invent new, efficient, clean and low-cost alternative energy resources such as- Lithium Ion Battery. On account of high capacity, fast charge-discharge rates, light weight, long lifetime, high stability Lithium-ion batteries are very promising energy storage devices. Their great electrochemical performance makes them commercially viable. These rechargeable batteries have proved themselves as a rising star and contain a lot more potential to fulfil the future energy requirements. This paper will highlight a review on Li-ion Batteries from their birth till now, the growth and increments on their fabrication techniques and represents advantages of carbonic anodes. It also gives us an idea about why carbon-based nanostructures (graphite, graphene, CNTs, CQDs, and GQDs) and their composites are the best choice of anode materials for Li-ion Batteries. We hope to present a brief knowledge about different carbon-based anode with comprehensive study of different anodic materials which were already available in the literature.
