Reviews of selected 100recent papers for lithium batteries (Oct. 1, 2015 to Nov. 30, 2015)

This bimonthly review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on lithium batteries. We searched the Web of Science and found 2318 papers online from Oct.1, 2015 to Nov.30, 2015. 100 of them were selected to be highlighted. Layered oxide and high voltage spinel cathode materials are still under extensive investigations for influences of doping, coating and interface modifications on their cycling performances. Large efforts were devoted to Si and Sn based composite anode materials for analyzing the SEI and making nano structures. There are a few papers related to electrolyte additives, solid state electrolyte, Li/S and Li-air batteries, and more papers for state estimation and analyzing the fading and thermal safety mechanism of Li-ion batteries.
