Abstract High energy density lithium-ion batteries are urgently needed due to the rapid growth demands of electric vehicles, electronic devices, and grid energy storage devices. There is still significant opportunity to improve the energy density of existing state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries by optimizing the separator thickness, which is usually ignored. Here, the dependence of battery gravimetric and volumetric energy densities on separator thickness has been quantitatively discussed in different type Li-ion batteries by calculations combined with experiments. With a decrease in separator thickness, the volumetric energy density is greatly improved. Meanwhile, the gravimetric energy densities are significantly improved as the electrolyte soaking in the separator is reduced. The gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of graphite (Gr) | NCM523 cells enable to increase 11.5% and 29.7%, respectively, by reducing the thickness of separator from 25 μm to 7 μm. Furthermore, the Li | S battery exhibits an extremely high energy density of 664.2 Wh Kg-1 when the thickness of the separator is reduced to 1 μm. This work sheds fresh light on the rational design of high energy density lithium-ion batteries.

With the development of electric vehicles involving lithium ion batteries as energy storage devices, the demand for lithium ion batteries in the whole industry is increasing, which is bound to lead to a large number of lithium ion batteries in the problem of waste, recycling and reuse. If not handled properly, it will certainly have a negative impact on the environment and resources. Current commercial lithium ion batteries mainly contain transition metal oxides or phosphates, aluminum, copper, graphite, organic electrolytes containing harmful lithium salts, and other chemicals. Therefore, the recycling and reuse of spent lithium ion batteries has been paid more and more attention by many researchers. However, due to the high energy density, high safety and low price of lithium ion batteries have great differences and diversity, the recycling of waste lithium ion batteries has great difficulties. This paper reviews the latest development of the recovery technology of waste lithium ion batteries, including the development of recovery process and products. In addition, the challenges and future economic and application prospects are described.

Abstract Among various energy-storage devices, electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are prominent power provision but show relatively low energy density. One way to increase the energy density of ECs is to move from carbon-based electric double-layer capacitors to pseudocapacitors, which manifest much higher capacitance. However, compared with carbon materials, the pseudocapacitive electrodes suffer from high resistance for electron and/or ion transfer, significantly restricting their capacity, rate capability and cyclability. Rational design of electrode materials offers opportunities to optimize their electrochemical performance, leading to devices with high energy density while maintaining high power density. This paper reviews the different approaches of electrodes striving to advance the energy and power density of ECs.

The growth of the lithium-ion battery market is accelerating. Although they are widely used in various fields, ranging from mobile devices to large-capacity energy storage devices, stability has always been a problem, which is a critical disadvantage of lithium-ion batteries. If the battery is unstable, which usually occurs at the end of its life, problems such as overheating and overcurrent during charge-discharge increase. In this paper, we propose a method to accurately predict battery life in order to secure battery stability. Unlike the existing methods, we propose a method of assessing the life of a battery by estimating the irreversible energy from the basic law of entropy using voltage, current, and time in a realistic dimension. The life estimation accuracy using the proposed method was at least 91.6%, and the accuracy was higher than 94% when considering the actual used range. The experimental results proved that the proposed method is a practical and effective method for estimating the life of lithium-ion batteries.

Recent advancements using carbon nanotube electrodes show the ability for multifunctionality as a lithium-ion storage material and as an electrically conductive support for other high capacity materials like silicon or germanium. Experimental data show that replacement of conventional anode designs, which use graphite composites coated on copper foil, with a freestanding silicon-single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) anode, can increase the usable anode capacity by up to 20 times. In this work, a series of calculations were performed to elucidate the relative improvement in battery energy density for such anodes paired with conventional LiCoO2, LiFePO4, and LiNiCoAlO2 cathodes. Results for theoretical flat plate prismatic batteries comprising freestanding silicon-SWCNT anodes with conventional cathodes show energy densities of 275 Wh/kg and 600 Wh/L to be theoretically achievable; this is a 50% improvement over today's commercial cells.
