Lithium (Li) metal is widely recognized as a highly promising negative electrode material for next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable batteries due to its exceptional specific capacity (3860 mAh g −1), low electrochemical potential (−3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), and low density (0.534 g cm −3).
The limitations in potential for the electroactive material of the negative electrode are less important than in the past thanks to the advent of 5 V electrode materials for the cathode in lithium-cell batteries. However, to maintain cell voltage, a deep study of new electrolyte–solvent combinations is required.
This mini-review discusses the recent trends in electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. Elemental doping and coatings have modified many of the commonly used electrode materials, which are used either as anode or cathode materials. This has led to the high diffusivity of Li ions, ionic mobility and conductivity apart from specific capacity.
The first use of lithium alloys as negative electrodes in commercial batteries to operate at ambient temperatures was the employment of Wood’s metal alloys in lithium-conducting button type cells by Matsushita in Japan. Development work on the use of these alloys started in 1983 [ 29 ], and they became commercially available somewhat later.
As discussed below, this leads to significant problems. Negative electrodes currently employed on the negative side of lithium cells involving a solid solution of lithium in one of the forms of carbon. Lithium cells that operate at temperatures above the melting point of lithium must necessarily use alloys instead of elemental lithium.
This type of cell typically uses either Li–Si or Li–Al alloys in the negative electrode. The first use of lithium alloys as negative electrodes in commercial batteries to operate at ambient temperatures was the employment of Wood’s metal alloys in lithium-conducting button type cells by Matsushita in Japan.
