Abstract

In order to balance the enormous energy consumption in our daily lives, it is necessary to properly store and distribute energy in addition to collecting clean, renewable energy sources. Nowadays, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are seen as an efficient form of energy storage and are the subject of the majority of ongoing research. The requirement for more efficient electrode materials, which can deliver higher capacity with long cycle life, becomes the main focus of research, and hence recent breakthroughs have been more concentrated on the fabrication of nanostructured porous electrodes. The current chapter discusses the most recent advancements in hybrid porous electrode materials used in LIBs and lithium sulphur batteries (Li-S batteries) because the work in this field is expanding rapidly. Various types of hybrid electrode materials, including porous carbon, heteroatom-doped carbon materials, metal oxides, and transition metal chalcogenides, are reviewed along with their distinct advantages and properties. The chapter also highlights the advanced strategies employed and reviews the impact of porosity and hybrid porous architecture on the performance of electrode material in LIB. To develop high-performance LIBs with high-rate capability and outstanding cycling stability, porous hybrid electrode materials combine porous active materials with the conductive second phase. The chapter will give the reader an updated picture of recent developments in the porous electrode material for LIBs and Li-S batteries.
