abstract: Abstract This review highlights the recent research advances in active nanostructured anode materials for the next generation of Li ion batteries (LIBs) In fact, in order to address both energy and power demands of secondary LIBs for future energy storage applications, it is required the development of innovative kinds of electrodes. Nanostructured materials based on carbon, metal/semiconductor, metal oxides and metal phosphides/nitrides/sulfides show a variety of admirable properties for LIBs applications such as high surface area, low diffusion distance, high electrical and ionic conductivity. Therefore, nanosized active materials are extremely promising for bridging the gap towards the realization of the next generation of LIBs with high reversible capacities, increased power capability, long cycling stability and free from safety concerns. In this review, anode materials are classified, depending on their electrochemical reaction with lithium, into three groups: intercalation/de intercalation, alloy/de alloy and conversion materials. Furthermore, the effect of nanoscale size and morphology on the electrochemical performance is presented. Synthesis of the nanostructures, lithium battery performance and electrode reaction mechanisms are also discussed. To conclude, the main aim of this review is to provide an organic outline of the wide range of recent research progresses and perspectives on nanosized active anode materials for future LIBs.

abstract: In order to address power and energy demands of mobile electronics and electric cars, Li ion technology is urgently being optimized by using alternative materials. This article presents a review of our recent progress dedicated to the anode and cathode materials that have the potential to fulfil the crucial factors of cost, safety, lifetime, durability, power density, and energy density. Nanostructured inorganic compounds have been extensively investigated. Size effects revealed in the storage of lithium through micropores (hard carbon spheres) alloys (Si, SnSb) and conversion reactions (Cr(2)O(3) MnO) are studied. The formation of nano/micro core shell, dispersed composite, and surface pinning structures can improve their cycling performance. Surface coating on LiCoO(2) and LiMn(2)O(4) was found to be an effective way to enhance their thermal and chemical stability and the mechanisms are discussed. Theoretical simulations and experiments on LiFePO(4) reveal that alkali metal ions and nitrogen doping into the LiFePO(4) lattice are possible approaches to increase its electronic conductivity and does not block transport of lithium ion along the 1D channel.

abstract: This review outlines the developments and recent progress in metal assisted chemical etching of silicon, summarizing a variety of fundamental and innovative processes and etching methods that form a wide range of nanoscale silicon structures. The use of silicon as an anode for Li ion batteries is also reviewed, where factors such as film thickness, doping, alloying, and their response to reversible lithiation processes are summarized and discussed with respect to battery cell performance. Recent advances in improving the performance of silicon based anodes in Li ion batteries are also discussed. The use of a variety of nanostructured silicon structures formed by many different methods as Li ion battery anodes is outlined, focusing in particular on the influence of mass loading, core shell structure, conductive additives, and other parameters. The influence of porosity, dopant type, and doping level on the electrochemical response and cell performance of the silicon anodes are detailed based on recent findings. Perspectives on the future of silicon and related materials, and their compositional and structural modifications for energy storage via several electrochemical mechanisms, are also provided.

abstract: Carbon nanostructural materials have gained the spotlight as promising anode materials for energy storage; they exhibit unique physico chemical properties such as large surface area, short Li+ ion diffusion length, and high electrical conductivity, in addition to their long term stability. However, carbon nanostructured materials have issues with low areal and volumetric densities for the practical applications in electric vehicles, portable electronics, and power grid systems, which demand higher energy and power densities. One approach to overcoming these issues is to design and apply a three dimensional (3D) electrode accommodating a larger loading amount of active anode materials while facilitating Li+ ion diffusion. Furthermore, 3D nanocarbon frameworks can impart a conducting pathway and structural buffer to high capacity non carbon nanomaterials, which results in enhanced Li+ ion storage capacity. In this paper, we review our recent progress on the design and fabrication of 3D carbon nanostructures, their performance in Li ion batteries (LIBs) and their implementation into large scale, lightweight, and flexible LIBs.

abstract: Hollow nanostructured anode materials lie at the heart of research relating to Li ion batteries, which require high capacity, high rate capability, and high safety. The higher capacity and higher rate capability for hollow nanostructured anode materials than that for the bulk counterparts can be attributed to their higher surface area, shorter path length for Li+ transport, and more freedom for volume change, which can reduce the overpotential and allow better reaction kinetics at the electrode surface. In this article, we review recent research activities on hollow nanostructured anode materials for Li ion batteries, including carbon materials, metals, metal oxides, and their hybrid materials. The major goal of this review is to highlight some recent progresses in using these hollow nanomaterials as anode materials to develop Li ion batteries with high capacity, high rate capability, and excellent cycling stability.

abstract: Si has been considered as one of the most attractive anode materials for Li ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high gravimetric and volumetric capacity. Importantly, it is also abundant, cheap, and environmentally benign. In this review, we summarized the recent progress in developments of Si anode materials. First, the electrochemical reaction and failure are outlined, and then, we summarized various methods for improving the battery performance, including those of nanostructuring, alloying, forming hierarchic structures, and using suitable binders. We hope that this review can be of benefit to more intensive investigation of Si based anode materials.

The increasing desire for lighter and thinner Li ion batteries with higher capacities is a continuing and constant goal for in research. Achieving higher energy densities, which is mainly dependent on cathode materials, has become a critical issue in the development of new Li ion batteries. In this review, we will outline the progress on nanostructured 4 V cathode materials of Li ion batteries for mobile electronics, covering LiCoO 2 LiNi x Co y Mn 1 x y O 2 LiMn 2 O 4 LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 and Li rich layered oxide materials. We aim to provide some scientific insights into the development of superior cathode materials by discussing the advantages of nanostructure, surface coating, and other key properties.

In this review, we have summarized recent progress in the rational design and efficient synthesis of TMOs with controllable morphologies, compositions, and micro /nanostructures, along with their Li storage behaviors. Single metal oxides of manganese (Mn) iron (Fe) cobalt (Co) nickel (Ni) copper (Cu) ruthenium (Ru) chromium (Cr) molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) and their common binary metal oxides have been discussed in this review. Finally, the less well known merits of conversion reactions are put forward, and the design of metal oxide electrodes making full use of these merits has been proposed.
