Present technology of fabricating Lithium-ion battery materials has been extensively discussed. A new strategy of Lithium-ion battery materials has mentioned to improve electrochemical performance. The global demand for energy has increased enormously as a consequence of technological and economic advances.
Lithium, a key component of modern battery technology, serves as the electrolyte's core, facilitating the smooth flow of ions between the anode and cathode. Its lightweight nature, combined with exceptional electrochemical characteristics, makes it indispensable for achieving high energy density (Nzereogu et al., 2022).
This comparison underscores the importance of selecting a battery chemistry based on the specific requirements of the application, balancing performance, cost, and safety considerations. Among the six leading Li-ion battery chemistries, NMC, LFP, and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) are recognized as superior candidates.
Moreover, advancements in energy chemical engineering provide strong support for battery research, including proof-of-concept prototype batteries, pilot production, and so on. Fig. 1. Schematics of Li-ion, Li–S, and Li–O 2 batteries based on non-aqueous liquid electrolytes.
