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.
Graphite and its derivatives are currently the predominant materials for the anode. The chemical compositions of these batteries rely heavily on key minerals such as lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and aluminium for the positive electrode, and materials like carbon and silicon for the anode (Goldman et al., 2019, Zhang and Azimi, 2022).
Hence, the current scenario of electrode materials of Li-ion batteries can be highly promising in enhancing the battery performance making it more efficient than before. This can reduce the dependence on fossil fuels such as for example, coal for electricity production. 1. Introduction
Three families of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries will be described in the current chapter, LiCoO 2, LiFePO 4, and LiMn 2 O 4 as they are the key positive materials for this technology. Not only their ionic and electronic conductivity will be described but also some of different strategies carried out to improve them over the last decades.
Li-ion batteries come in various compositions, with lithium-cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium-manganese oxide (LMO), lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP), lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC), and lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminium oxide (NCA) being among the most common. Graphite and its derivatives are currently the predominant materials for the anode.
The cathode material for the lithium-ion battery is synthesized by baking after mixing the lithium salt with the raw hydroxide. In this case, it also is important to maintain the particle shapes of raw materials by controlling the heating condition.
