Cathodes in solid state batteries often utilize lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), or nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) compounds. Each material presents unique benefits. For example, LCO provides high energy density, while LFP offers excellent safety and stability.
A battery with high energy density and specific energy is like a superhero – it can store a lot of energy in a small, lightweight package, making it ideal for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and other applications where space and weight are at a premium.
Rare and/or expensive battery materials are unsuitable for widespread practical application, and an alternative has to be found for the currently prevalent lithium-ion battery technology. In this review article, we discuss the current state-of-the-art of battery materials from a perspective that focuses on the renewable energy market pull.
Lithium: Lithium metal has high potential to be used in various future battery technologies such as lithium-air, lithium sulphur, advanced lithium-ion batteries such as LTO, and so on, as an anode material. Magnesium: One of the richest elements on the earth has also gained the spotlight in recent years.
The most studied batteries of this type is the Zinc-air and Li-air battery. Other metals have been used, such as Mg and Al, but these are only known as primary cells, and so are beyond the scope of this article.
In spite of its seemingly dendrite free nature, magnesium metal is probably one of the most difficult battery materials to work with. Like all of the metal surfaces, it is highly reactive, and most electrolytes spontaneously decompose on to form a “solid electrolyte interphase” or SEI .
