Are lithium-ion batteries a bottleneck?

In recent years, researchers have worked hard to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, the energy density of the traditional lithium-ion battery technology is now close to the bottleneck, with limited room for further optimization.

Are lithium-ion batteries a good energy storage technology?

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continue to draw vast attention as a promising energy storage technology due to their high energy density, low self-discharge property, nearly zero-memory effect, high open circuit voltage, and long lifespan.

What are the limitations of lithium-ion batteries?

Two main limitations of lithium-ion batteries are relatively slow charging speed and safety issue. To improve energy density of LIBs, one can increase the operating voltage and the specific capacity.

What are lithium-ion batteries?

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are well known power components of portable electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets, and laptops. They are also crucial in the development towards energy sustainability.

Will Li-ion batteries compete with other battery chemistries?

Even at energy storage costs around 7 c€/kWh, Li-ion batteries will face fierce competition from other battery chemistries such as lead-acid, NaS, Vanadium redox, etc. Despite this, there are positive long-term perspectives for Li-ion batteries.

What are high-energy density lithium-ion batteries?

In particular, high-energy density lithium-ion batteries are considered as the ideal power source for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in the automotive industry, in recent years. This review discusses key aspects of the present and the future battery technologies on the basis of the working electrode.
