Strategies such as improving the active material of the cathode, improving the specific capacity of the cathode/anode material, developing lithium metal anode/anode-free lithium batteries, using solid-state electrolytes and developing new energy storage systems have been used in the research of improving the energy density of lithium batteries.
This is the calculation formula of energy density of lithium secondary batteries: Energy density (Wh kg −1) = Q × V M. Where M is the total mass of the battery, V is the working voltage of the positive electrode material, and Q is the capacity of the battery.
“ With further development, we expect our new design for the lithium-air battery to also reach a record energy density of 1200 watt-hours per kilogram,” said Curtiss. “ That is nearly four times better than lithium-ion batteries.”
Based on the prototype design of high-energy-density lithium batteries, it is shown that energy densities of different classes up to 1000 Wh/kg can be realized, where lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs) and solid-state electrolytes play central roles to gain high energy densities above 500 Wh/kg.
In order to achieve high energy density batteries, researchers have tried to develop electrode materials with higher energy density or modify existing electrode materials, improve the design of lithium batteries and develop new electrochemical energy systems, such as lithium air, lithium sulfur batteries, etc.
Recently, according to reports, Amprius announced that it has produced the first batch of ultra-high energy density lithium-ion batteries with silicon based negative electrode, which have achieved major breakthroughs in specific energy and energy density, and the energy density of the lithium battery reached 450 Wh kg −1 (1150 Wh L −1).
