Reviews of selected 100 recent papers for lithium batteries (Jun. 1, 2019 to Jul. 31, 2019)

This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 3486 papers online from Jun. 1, 2019 to Jul. 31, 2019.100 of them were selected to be highlighted. Layered oxide including Ni-rich oxides and lithium cobalt oxide are still under extensive investigations for studying the influences of doping and coating on their cycling performances. Large efforts were devoted to improve the cycling performance and coulombic efficiency of Si based and metallic lithium anode by optimizing their 3D electrode structure, surface and electrolyte. Sulfide, halide containing sulfide and polymer based solid state electrolyte are drawn large attentions. Additives are added to liquid electrolyte to form stable CEI and reduce the effects of the dissolved transition metal ions from the cathode to SEI at the anode. The studies of solid state battery are focus on the designs of composite electrode and 3D structure for both cathode and anode, so as to the Li-S battery. In-situ ex-situ technologies are used to analyze the fading mechanism of Liion battery and solid state lithium battery. There are few papers related to theoretical calculations and recycling of lithium ion batteries, too.
