Bruce,* Bruno Scrosati, and Jean-Marie Tarascon Keywords: electrochemistry. lithium · nanoelectrodes· nanomaterials . Energy storage is more important today than at any time in humanhistory. Future generations ofrechargeable lithium batteries arerequired to power portable electronic devices (cellphones, laptopcomputers etc.), store electricity from renewable sources, and as a vitalcomponent in new hybrid electric vehicles. To achieve the increase inenergy and power density essential to meet the future challenges ofenergy storage, new materials chemistry, and especially new nano-materials chemistry, is essential. We must find ways of synthesizingnew nanomaterials with new properties or combinations ofproperties,for use as electrodes and electrolytes in lithium batteries. Herein wereview some ofthe recent scientific advances in nanomaterials, andespecially in nanostructured materials, for rechargeable lithium-ionbatteries. From the Contents 2.

Summary and Outlook 2945 The storage ofelectrical energy will be far more importantin this century than it was in the last. Whether to power themyriad portable consumer electronic devices (cell phones,PDAs, laptops, or for implantable medical applications, suchas artificial hearts, or to address global warming (hybridelectric vehicles, storage of wind/solar power), the need forclean and efficient energy storage will be vast. Nanomaterialshave a critical role to play in achieving this change in the waywe store energy. Rechargeable lithium batteries have revolutionized port-able electronic devices. They have become the dominantpower source for cell phones, digital cameras, laptops etc.,because of their superior energy density (capability to store 2-3 times the energy per unit weight and volume compared withconventional rechargeable batteries). The worldwide marketfor rechargeable lithium batteries is now valued at 10 billiondollars per annum and growing. They are the technology ofchoice for future hybrid electric vehicles, which are central tothe reduction of CO, emissions arising from transportation. The rechargeable lithium battery does not contain lithiummetal. It is a lithium-ion device, comprising a graphitenegative electrode (anode), a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte,and a positive electrode (cathode) formed from layeredLiCoO (Figure 1). On charging, lithium ions are deinterca- GraphiteLit conducting electrolyteLiCoo Figure 1. Schematic representation of a lithium-ion battery.

Discharge reverses this process. Theelectrons, of course, pass around the external circuit. Therechargeable lithium battery is a supreme representation ofsolid-state chemistry in action. A more detailed account oflithium-ion batteries than is appropriate here may beobtained from the literature.1-3] The first-generation lithium-ion battery has electrodesthat are composed of powders containing millimeter-sizedparticles, and the electrolyte is trapped within the millimeter-sized pores of a polypropylene separator. Although thebattery has a high energy density, it is a low-power device(slow charge/discharge). No matter how creative we are indesigning new lithium intercalation hosts with higher rates,limits exist because of the intrinsic diffusivity of the lithiumion in the solid state (ca. 10-8cm’s-), which inevitably limitsthe rate of intercalation/deintercalation,and hence charge/discharge. However, an increase in the charge/discharge rateof lithium-ion batteries of more than one order of magnitudeis required to meet the future demands of hybrid electricvehicles and clean energy storage. Nanomaterials, so often [**] Thanks to Dr. Aurelie Debart for preparation of the frontispiece. hyped or misrepresented by claims of delivering new proper-ties, have the genuine potential to make a significant impacton the performance of lithium-ion batteries, as their reduceddimensions enable far higher intercalation/deintercalationrates and hence high power. This is just one property that maybe enhanced by the use of nanomaterials. However, nano-materials are certainly not a panacea. The advantages anddisadvantages of lithium-ion battery materials are summar-ized in Section 2, and thereafter advances in the use ofnanomaterials, emphasizing in particular nanostructuredmaterials, as negative electrodes, electrolytes, and positiveelectrodes for rechargeable lithium batteries are described.4The illustrative examples that are presented are mainly fromthe work of the authors. 2.

The charac-teristic time constant for diffusion is given by t=LD,where L is the diffusion length and D the diffusionconstant. The time t for intercalation decreases with thesquare of the particle size on replacing micrometer withnanometer particles.4 3. Electron transport within the particles is also enhanced bynanometer-sized particles, as described for lithium ions.4 4.A high surface area permits a high contact area with theelectrolyte and hence a high lithium-ion flux across theinterface. 5. For very small particles, the chemical potentials for lithiumions and electrons may be modified, resulting in a changeof electrode potential (thermodynamics of the reaction). 6. The range of composition over which solid solutions existis often more extensive for nanoparticles,and the strainassociated with intercalation is often better accommo-dated. Disadvantages 1. Nanoparticles may be more difficult to synthesize andtheir dimensions may be difficult to control. 2. High electrolyte/electrode surface area may lead to moresignificant side reactions with the electrolyte, and moredifficulty maintaining interparticle contact. 3. The density of a nanopowder is generally less than thesame material formed from micrometer-sized particles.The volume of the electrode increases for the same mass ofmaterial thus reducing the volumetric energy density. 3. Negative Electrodes 3.1. Nanoparticles Graphite powder, composed of micrometer-sized parti-cles, has been the stalwart of negative electrodes forrechargeable lithium batteries for many years. 1.2 Replace-ment by nanoparticulate graphite would increase the rate oflithium insertion/removal and thus the rate (power) of thebattery. Lithium is inserted into graphite at a potential of lessthan 1 V versus Lit/Li. At such low potentials, reduction ofthe electrolyte occurs, accompanied by the formation of apassivating (solid electrolyte interface) layer on the graphitesurface.[8-10 The formation of such a layer is essential for theoperation of graphite electrodes, as it inhibits exfoliation. Theseverity of layer formation would, in the case of high-surface-area nanoparticulate graphite, result in the consumption ofexcessive charge, which would then be lost to the cell. Of evengreater importance is the fact that most of the lithium isintercalated into graphite at potentials of less than 100 mVversus Lit/Li; were it not for careful electronic control ofcharging, lithium could deposit on the graphite surface. Thedeposition of highly reactive lithium would be serious for micrometer-sized particles, but could be catastrophic fornanosized particles, leading to major safety concerns. In short,increasing the rate capability of lithium batteries by usingnanoparticulate graphite presents formidable problems. 3.2. Nanotubes/wires Given the significance of C60 and carbon nanotubes, it isapposite to start with a comment on their potential use asnegative electrodes in lithium batteries. Several investigationshave been carried out on these materials as electrodes.l11,12]Although lithium intercalation is possible, and carbon nano-tubes exhibit twice the lithium storage compared with graph-ite, similar problems of surface-layer formation and safety arepresent. Carbon nanotubes do not seem to offer a major routeto improved electrodes. In the search for alternatives tographite that combine inherent protection against lithiumdeposition, with low cost, low toxicity, and the ability to befabricated as a nanomaterial delivering fast lithium insertion/removal, attention has focused recently on titanium oxides.The defect spinel Li Ti,O12(Li[Li13Ti5/3]O4) is an intercalationhost for lithium that may be cycled over the compositionrange Li4+xTisO12, 0
