Multi-Dimensional Inorganic Electrode Materials for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

Energy storage devices are essential for enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of electrical energy. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most efficient energy storage solutions available. The choice of electrode materials plays a vital role in defining the performance of an energy storage device. A range of electrode materials have been developed utilizing both organic and inorganic substances. Due to their notable electrochemical characteristics, strong chemical stability, and well-established technological approaches, inorganic materials have been extensively studied to achieve high-performance devices. This review paper aims to provide a thorough and analytical review of different materials ranging from zero- to three-dimensional (3D), like quantum dots, nanotubes, and nanosheets that have been proposed for high-performance LIBs. This study also includes challenges and future pathways to address the issues with inorganic materials utilized as electrode materials for high-performance energy storage LIBs.
