1 Introduction. Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have achieved remarkable success in electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, grid energy storage, and other applications thanks to a wide range of electrode materials that meet the performance requirements of different application scenarios.
Notwithstanding this grim forecast, several key forces have retained strength and vitality in the energy-storage materials market. First, an oversupply of raw materials in 2019 has kept production of cathodes and anodes steady in the remaining operating plants.
Multiple energy sources are available in nature. Energy conversion and storage is critical for actual energy utilization according to scenario requirements. For instance, batteries and supercapacitors can convert chemical energy into electrical energy and store it (Hosaka et al., 2020, Liu et al., 2020b).
