Abstract
The lithium-ion batteries are unquestionably the most advanced rechargeable batteries in the market today. They are also the most favorite battery chemistry for vehicle electrification and utility grid integration. However, the storage requirements for these large scale applications far exceeded the capability of current lithium-ion batteries which are designed for portable and mobile electronic products. While engineering solutions may provide some relief of current needs, continual development has to depend on materials innovations. This presentation will discuss some of the materials design principles that we have learned from working with lithium-ion battery anode materials over the last two decades. The discussion will focus on the improvement of high capacity anode materials, especially their rate performance, cycle stability and initial capacity losses. Examples will be drawn mostly from our work on alloy anodes, conversion oxide anodes and titanium-based intercalation anodes.
