Nanostructured cathode materials synthesis for lithium-ion batteries

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology to develop efficient and enhanced batteries including the most popular lithium-ion batteries. The importance of cathode materials in LIBs are tremendous since the LIBs are still cathode limited in design. In this review, we have summarized various approaches for the synthesis of nanostructured cathode materials with enhanced properties to improve electrochemical performances of LIBs. We concluded the review with a comparison of the different techniques discussed and addressed the importance of nanotechnology in the race to build improved batteries. (c) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
