Anode materials for lithium-ion batteries: A review
University of Nigeria · University of the Western Cape
Abstract
The need for eco-friendly and portable energy sources for application in electrical, electronic, automobile and even aerospace industries has led to an ever-increasing research and innovation in lithium-ion battery technology. Owing to the research and discoveries in recent years, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have stood out as the most suitable device for the storage of electrical power for application in mobile appliances and electric vehicles. This is as a result of the very attractive properties inherent in LIBs, which include lightweight, high energy density, small-scale size, few memory effects, long cycle life and low pollution. In this review article, recent advances in the development of anode…
