Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are promising energy storage media under serious consideration for practical applications in electric vehicle (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). However, to meet the requirements for EVs and HEVs, the performance of commercially available LIBs needs to be greatly improved in terms of the energy density, cycling life, rate capability, safety and cost. It is well known that the LIB performance is highly dependent on the choice of electrode materials. Therefore, it is greatly important to develop new electrode materials as replacements for graphite/LiCoO2 used in commercial LIBs, in order to achieve high-performance LIBs desirable for …
