Magnesium Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have enabled electric vehicles to achieve a foothold in the automobile market. Due to an increasing environmental consciousness, electric vehicles are expected to take a larger portion of the market, with the ultimate goal of supplanting traditional vehicles. However, the involved costs, sustainability, and technical limitations of lithium-ion batteries do create substantial obstacles to this goal. Therefore, this article aims at presenting magnesium-ion batteries as a potential replacement for lithium-ion batteries. Though still under development, magnesium-ion batteries show promise in achieving similar volumetric and specific capacities to lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, magnesium is substantially more abundant than lithium, allowing for the batteries to be cheaper and more sustainable. Numerous technical challenges related to cathode and electrolyte selection are yet to be solved for magnesium-ion batteries. This paper discusses the current state-of-the-art of magnesium-ion batteries with a particular emphasis on the material selection. Although, current research indicates that sulfur-based cathodes coupled with a (HMDS)2Mg-based electrolyte shows substantial promise, other options could allow for a better performing battery. This paper addresses the challenges (materials and costs) and benefits associated with developing these batteries. When overcoming these challenges, magnesium-ion batteries are posed to be a groundbreaking technology potentially revolutionizing the vehicle industry.

The consumption of lithium has increased dramatically in recent years. This can be primarily attributed to its use in lithium-ion batteries for the operation of hybrid and electric vehicles. Due to its specific properties, lithium will also continue to be an indispensable key component for rechargeable batteries in the next decades. An average lithium-ion battery contains 5–7% of lithium. These values indicate that used rechargeable batteries are a high-quality raw material for lithium recovery. Currently, the feasibility and reasonability of the hydrometallurgical recycling of lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries is still a field of research. This work is intended to compare the classic method of the precipitation of lithium from synthetic and real pregnant leaching liquors gained from spent lithium-ion batteries with sodium carbonate (state of the art) with alternative precipitation agents such as sodium phosphate and potassium phosphate. Furthermore, the correlation of the obtained product to the used type of phosphate is comprised. In addition, the influence of the process temperature (room temperature to boiling point), as well as the stoichiometric factor of the precipitant, is investigated in order to finally enable a statement about an efficient process, its parameter and the main dependencies.

Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have great potential as an alternative technology to substitute resource-limited lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but rather difficult transportation of Mg2+ in cathodes and hence low cathode capacities loom as a major roadblock for their applications.

Abstract The development of higher-performance rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is critical to the substantial development of electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. The cost of lithium-ion batteries needs to be decreased more and the specific energy as well as recycling degradation rate needs to be enhanced further. Silicon anodes and cobalt-free nickel-rich cathodes are widely regarded as promising materials for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. This review discusses the current state of research on silicon anode nanomaterials and nickel-rich cathode materials without cobalt.

This paper contributes towards the research and development campaign on the weight reduction of electric vehicles through the technology of structural composite batteries. Batteries are the key component and an integral part of electric vehicles which constitutes a major proportion of the vehicle’s weight. Most of the electric vehicle manufacturers use lithium-ion batteries which are in recent years have gone through a major development. The use of lithium-ion batteries within a carbon reinforced composite structure of the car has given rise to the concept of structural batteries where both the mechanical strength of the structure and the chemistry of the battery to be optimized. Various aspects of design in the formulation of the structural batteries are reviewed including material selection with respect to its electrical and mechanical requirements. In this research work, properties of carbon fiber are utilised which provide mechanical strength to the vehicle whilst be an efficient electrode for the lithium-ion structural batteries. The impacts of lithiation on the strength of the structure and charge time for the batteries are explored. Significant results of weight reduction have been achieved by formulating the structural battery for the roof of a passenger car having a 30 kW-hr battery. At 0.7 mm of active electrode thickness is designed within the roof structure, the roof can store 5.9 kW-hr of energy with the reduction of 56.5 kg in overall weight of the vehicle. The battery pack of 255 kg gets completely replaced by the structural composite battery because of its magnificent specific charge capacity at the active electrode with the thickness of 3.5 mm.

Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in numerous application areas, including portable consumer electronics, medicine, grid storage, electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. One major challenge during operation and storage is the degradation of the cell constituents, which is called aging. This phenomenon drastically reduces both storage lifetime and cycle lifetime. Due to numerous aging effects, originating from both the individual LIB cell constituents as well as their interactions, a wide variety of instruments and methods are necessary for aging investigations. In particular, chromatographic methods are frequently applied for the analysis of the typically used liquid non-aqueous battery electrolytes based on organic solvents or ionic liquids. Moreover, chromatographic methods have also been recently used to investigate the composition of electrode materials. In this review, we will give an overview of the current state of chromatographic methods in the context of LIB cell research.
