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.
6.1.1. Graphite Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes.
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 .
Graphite Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes. Not to mention the fact that it is naturally conductive is also a huge positive.
These should have more energy and performance, and be manufactured on a sustainable material basis. They should also be safer and more cost-effective and should already consider end-of-life aspects and recycling in the design. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the further development of new and improved battery chemistries and cells.
Electrolytes are a key research area that cannot be overstated in the development of effective batteries. An ideal battery electrolyte must have the following attributes; Electrochemical window: Electrolytes need to be stable over a wide voltage range that cell reactions can be accommodated without electrolyte decomposition.
