Designs of Ceramic Powders: Toward Next-Generation Batteries

Abstract

“Advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)” are a class of next-generation batteries, which combine the advantages of conventional LIB with new cutting-edge technologies for high performance of battery cells. These batteries have a wide range of applications as basic energy devices in our global society. To realize advanced LIBs with high energy densities, improved battery material powders and their structural designs play a crucial role. This paper aims to introduce the fundamental designs of battery powders for advanced LIBs, along with several powder treatment techniques that contribute to the development of high-performance batteries.
