Recent Advancements and Prospects Of Lithium-Ion Batteries: Smart Features, High Performance Anode, Cathode and Electrolyte Materials

Nowadays, lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (LiBs) are the predominant source for energy storage and have promising prospects in the future. Monitoring the health status of the LiBs has become a pressing need to prolong the life and increase the security of LiB-powered applications. This need has opened new possibilities for smart LiBs research, enhancing battery life and safety. Herein, the scheme of sensors for Li-ion smart batteries has been discussed, which use a straightforward beam structure towards the measurement of different parameters, for instance, force, temperature, and displacement. Besides, we have discussed the most recent high-performance anode, cathode, and electrolyte materials used for and the modification of the materials by using different techniques to make them suitable for high-energy density Li-ion batteries. Finally, it has been concluded with promising future outlooks of the LiBs research by using these high-performance materials.
