Abstract

Eco-friendly energy conversion and storage play a vital role in electric vehicles to reduce global pollution. Significantly, for lowering the use of fossil fuels, regulating agencies have counseled to eliminate the governments’ subsidiaries. Battery in electric vehicles (EVs) diminishes fossil fuel use in the automobile industry. Lithium-ion battery (LIB) is a prime aspirant in EVs. Due to multiple oxidation states, manganese oxide endures versatile prospects in batteries. Nevertheless, there is a sustained delay in this process because of diverse issues. This paper reviews the following: (1) status of the countries that eradicated subsidiaries on fossil fuel; (2) reserves and economy of manganese; (3) role of manganese in LIB; (4) how close manganese oxides are becoming the solitary metal oxide in the LIBs; and (5) exploring ideas for recycling manganese-based materials from used batteries. Problems such as Jahn–Teller distortion, low electronic conductivity, volume increase, and morphology hindrance in batteries and how it can be reduced were reported. Modifying the morphology, composition, doping on Mn and their effects on capacity and efficiency were discussed.
