Research Progress In Orthosilicates As Cathode Materials For Li-Ion Batteries, Dong-Ping Lv, Lin Wang, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Rechargeable Li-ion batteries fulfilling high-energy density, high safety, environmental friendliness, and low cost are demanded urgently for energy storage systems. Besides the structure stability arising from the strong Si-O covalent bond, environmental benignancy and low cost from the characteristics of Fe, Mn, Si elementals, orthosilicates (Li2MSiO4) show promising prospect to meet the demand of high-energy density for its two available Li+ per formula unit. Motivated by these significant advantages, Li2MSiO4 have been intensively investigated in the past few years. In the present work, we gave a review on the progress of orthosilicate research including the materials synthesis, structure, electrochemical performances …
