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.
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).
The limitations in potential for the electroactive material of the negative electrode are less important than in the past thanks to the advent of 5 V electrode materials for the cathode in lithium-cell batteries. However, to maintain cell voltage, a deep study of new electrolyte–solvent combinations is required.
The factors affecting the apparent performance of lithium metal negative electrodes are as follows: various characteristics of the freshly deposited layer of lithium metal (morphology, nucleus shape, specific surface area), electrolyte composition, and the results of the interaction between the two (i. e., the formation of SEI).
The interaction of the organic electrolyte with the active material results in the formation of an SEI layer on the negative electrode surface . The composition and structure of the SEI layer on Si electrodes evolve into a more complex form with repeated cycling owing to inherent structural instability.
Two lines of research can be distinguished: (i) improvement of LiCoO 2 and carbon-based materials, and (ii) replacement of the electrode materials by others with different composition and structure. Concerning the positive electrode, the replacement of lithium cobaltate has been shown to be a difficult task.
