1. a constant search for greater energy density
The primary focus of battery material research and development has always been on increasing energy density, which not only immediately contributes to an increase in range but also significantly affects cost, the primary metric for power batteries.
2. Components of anode
The most obvious technical path is toward high nickel ternary. To combat the drawbacks of high nickel ternary, the industry now uses single crystallization, surface coating, doping enhancement, and other techniques.
3. The negative electrode's component
Since 1985, when carbon material began to take the position of lithium metal as an anode, carbon material has established itself as the norm and will continue to play a significant role as an anode carrier going forward. Japan invented a new technique of synthetic graphite and modified natural graphite anodes in the early twenty-first century, which eventually replaced the pricey MCMB and is still the top option for the commercial anode.
