Positive electrodes for Li-ion and lithium batteries (also termed “cathodes”) have been under intense scrutiny since the advent of the Li-ion cell in 1991. This is especially true in the past decade.
Hence, the current scenario of electrode materials of Li-ion batteries can be highly promising in enhancing the battery performance making it more efficient than before. This can reduce the dependence on fossil fuels such as for example, coal for electricity production. 1. Introduction
This has led to the high diffusivity of Li ions, ionic mobility and conductivity apart from specific capacity. Many of the newly reported electrode materials have been found to deliver a better performance, which has been analyzed by many parameters such as cyclic stability, specific capacity, specific energy and charge/discharge rate.
This review gives an account of the various emerging high-voltage positive electrode materials that have the potential to satisfy these requirements either in the short or long term, including nickel-rich layered oxides, lithium-rich layered oxides, high-voltage spinel oxides, and high-voltage polyanionic compounds.
Bjoerling et al. initially investigated the structure of LiFePO 4, a naturally occurring mineral called triphylite, in 1938. Later, Padhi and Nanjundaswamy highlighted the significance of LiFePO 4 as a positive electrode material. The olivine structure of LiFePO 4 consists of a hexagonally close-packed arrangement of oxygen atoms.
If the counterelectrode is metallic lithium, the cyclicity of the spinel compound is excellent even in the electrolyte of about 60°C. However, it is well known that the insertion and extraction of Li + ion for the graphite anode are obstructed by deposited mangnanese from the dissolved manganese ion in the lithium-ion batteries.
