Issues and challenges facing rechargeable lithium batteries
TLDR
A brief historical review of the development of lithium-based rechargeable batteries is presented, ongoing research strategies are highlighted, and the challenges that remain regarding the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical performance and safety of these systems are discussed.Abstract:
Technological improvements in rechargeable solid-state batteries are being driven by an ever-increasing demand for portable electronic devices. Lithium-ion batteries are the systems of choice, offering high energy density, flexible and lightweight design, and longer lifespan than comparable battery technologies. We present a brief historical review of the development of lithium-based rechargeable batteries, highlight ongoing research strategies, and discuss the challenges that remain regarding the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical performance and safety of these systems.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the electrolyte composition of the lithium-sulfur battery and show that only by combining particular electrolytes with cathode materials that are designed to actively retain sulfur and its reduction products, have a relatively few studies been able to obtain the desired levels of performance.
