Review on high temperature secondary Li-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionised the energy storage market; applications for batteries are rapidly expanding with demands for high performance batteries required in many technological fields. In applications such as portable devices or electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries have currently no contender in terms of energy density or durability. However, the restricted temperature range of -25 degrees C to 60 degrees C is a problem for a number of applications that require high energy rechargeable batteries that operate at a high temperature (>100 degrees C). This review discusses the work that has been done on the side of electrodes and electrolytes for use in high temperature Li-ion batteries. Copyright (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
