ABSTRACT

It is heatedly discussed that reducing carbon dioxide emissions is exceptionally essential for today's environment. It is believed that replacing petrol vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs) is a decent solution to lower emissions. Therefore, the booming of EVs is desired. Because the batteries are the core for the performance enhancement of EVs, an increasing number of research has been developed for their judicious preparation. With the advancement of critical components, especially innovative electrode materials, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received widespread attention as the most popular secondary cells due to their lightweight and high theoretical specific capacity. This review presents the development history and practical application of advanced electrode materials used in LIBs, including anode and cathode materials. Further, I will also overview the distinguishable characteristics of the LIBs mentioned above to summarize the potential application and highlight the looking-forward perspectives in this rapidly growing field.
