Li-ion capacitors (LICs) are designed to achieve high power and energy densities using a carbon-based material as a positive electrode coupled with a negative electrode often adopted from Li-ion batteries. However, such adoption cannot be direct and requires additional materials optimization. Furthermore, for the desired device’s performance, a proper design of the electrodes is necessary to balance the different charge storage mechanisms. The negative electrode with an intercalation or alloying active material must provide the high rate performance and long-term cycling ability necessary for LIC functionality—a primary challenge for the design of these energy-storage devices. In addition, the search for new active materials must also consider the need for environmentally friendly chemistry and the sustainable availability of key elements. With these factors in mind, this review evaluates advanced and emerging materials used as high-rate anodes in LICs from the perspective of their practical implementation.

For the first time a limestone has been used as active material or active material’s precursor for electrodes of Li ion batteries. Limestones are very abundant, what is a condition for a sustainable development of energy storage devices. Mexican onyx has been used as a model of limestone in this work, mainly composed of calcite (calcium carbonate). Waste powder of this material from handcraft production was used, reducing costs. The material was carbonized and pyrolyzed, producing calcium oxide covered with carbon. Mexican onyx either treated or untreated works well as anode material for Li ion batteries, storing charges by conversion. Despite the grains of this material were as big as 50 μm, the material with no treatment showed a maximum Li storage capacity of 530.16 mAh/g at C/3.3, while the pyrolyzed one showed a maximum reversible capacity of 220 mAh/g at 1.37C and of 158 mAh/g at 5.48C, performance even better than the performance of graphite.

Graphite is the dominant choice as negative electrode since the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries, which could bring about a significant increase in demand for the material owing to its usage in forthcoming graphite-based energy storage devices.

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.
