The combination of conversion-type cathodes and solid-state electrolytes offers a promising avenue for the development of solid-state lithium batteries with high energy density and low cost. 1. Introduction
The high-energy-density conversion-type cathode materials for lithium batteries can be divided into three main categories: chalcogens, chalcogenides, and halides.
All three types of conversion cathode materials must be paired with lithiated anodes, such as metallic lithium, prelithiated graphite, and prelithiated silicon, to make a full cell, making them relatively difficult to process compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
In addition, conventional intercalation-type cathode materials (e.g., LiFePO 4, LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4, and LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2) are introduced for comparison to obtain a comprehensive discussion within a broader landscape of battery research.
Compared with conventional inorganic cathode materials for Li ion batteries, OEMs possess some unique characteristics including flexible molecular structure, weak intermolecular interaction, being highly soluble in electrolytes, and moderate electrochemical potentials.
Since the commercialization of Li-ion batteries in 1991, high energy density has mainly been achieved by using cathodes made of layered transition metal oxides, such as Li (Ni,Mn,Co)O 2. In these materials, Li ions reversibly incorporate into the crystal lattices, which is commonly known as an intercalation reaction.
