Positive electrodes for Li-ion and lithium batteries (also termed “cathodes”) have been under intense scrutiny since the advent of the Li-ion cell in 1991. This is especially true in the past decade.
Simultaneously, the negative electrode inserts Li + ions, which are extracted at the positive electrode side into the solution phase and migrate and diffuse through the bulk electrolyte to the negative electrode side, to ensure the charge balance. As a result, the positive electrode active material is oxidized.
The positive electrode is activated carbon and the negative electrode is Li [Li 1/3 Ti 5/3 ]O 4. The idea has merit although the advantage of lithium-ion battery concept is limited because the concentration of lithium salt in electrolyte varies during charge and discharge.
Lithium is the third element in the periodic table. It has the most negative electrode potential and is stable only in non-aqueous electrolytes. It was not popular electrode material in battery community before 1970. Purification of organic solvents and lithium salts to remove water was especially hard work in each laboratory.
Still, the main challenge arising with the use of Si, Sn (and other Li storage metals) as negative electrode active material is the severe volume change (up to 400%) that the Li storage metals experiences during Li + ion uptake and release, thus leading to particle cracking and disintegration of the electrode structure [ 67 ].
In commercialized LIBs, Li insertion materials that can reversibly insert and extract Li-ions coupled with electron exchange while maintaining the framework structure of the materials are used as both positive and negative electrodes.
