Abstract

In the current decade, with improvements in technology, the commercial usage of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been significantly enhanced. This has not only boosted industrial interest in LIBs but also attracted major research efforts all over the world. Though all components of LIBs are crucial, their quality factors are chiefly linked with their cathode materials. That is why the majority of research is focused on upgrading the quality of cathode material. Depending on the family of materials and its coordination geometry, various families of cathode materials include chalcogenides, layered oxides, silicates, phosphates, and tavorites. In addition, there are conversion electrodes, but they lie outside the scope of this review. These classes of materials are of interest in LIB-focused research. This chapter is devoted to providing an overview of the current status and time evolution of LIBs, with a focus on cathode materials. The primary objective of this overview is to shed light on the subject matter to identify the main problems encountered by LIBs so that solutions may be sought. To present a comprehensive picture of the story, the computational and experimental literature is discussed.
