Smart materials for energy storage in Li-ion batteries
Résumé
Advanced lithium-ion batteries contain smart materials having the function of insertion
electrodes in the form of powders with specific and optimized electrochemical properties.
Different classes can be considered: the surface modified active particles at either positive or
negative electrodes, the nano-composite electrodes and the blended materials. In this paper,
various systems are described, which illustrate the improvement of lithium-ion batteries in
terms of specific energy and power, thermal stability and life cycling.
