The Li-metal electrode, which has the lowest electrode potential and largest reversible capacity among negative electrodes, is a key material for high-energy-density rechargeable batteries.
Lithium (Li) metal is widely recognized as a highly promising negative electrode material for next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable batteries due to its exceptional specific capacity (3860 mAh g −1), low electrochemical potential (−3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), and low density (0.534 g cm −3).
As discussed below, this leads to significant problems. Negative electrodes currently employed on the negative side of lithium cells involving a solid solution of lithium in one of the forms of carbon. Lithium cells that operate at temperatures above the melting point of lithium must necessarily use alloys instead of elemental lithium.
The anode and cathode electrodes play a crucial role in temporarily binding and releasing lithium ions, and their chemical characteristics and compositions significantly impact the properties of a lithium-ion cell, including energy density and capacity, among others.
The first use of lithium alloys as negative electrodes in commercial batteries to operate at ambient temperatures was the employment of Wood’s metal alloys in lithium-conducting button type cells by Matsushita in Japan. Development work on the use of these alloys started in 1983 [ 29 ], and they became commercially available somewhat later.
There has been a large amount of work on the understanding and development of graphites and related carbon-containing materials for use as negative electrode materials in lithium batteries since that time. Lithium–carbon materials are, in principle, no different from other lithium-containing metallic alloys.
During the initial lithiation of the negative electrode, as Li ions are incorporated into the active material, the potential of the negative electrode decreases below 1 V (vs. Li/Li +) toward the reference electrode (Li metal), approaching 0 V in the later stages of the process.
