Since the commercialization of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) in the early 1990s, tin (Sn),
antimony (Sb), and germanium (Ge)‐based anodes have attracted considerable research …

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have been extensively studied as the potential alternative to
lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundant natural reserves and low price of sodium …

Exploring earth-abundant electrocatalysts with Pt-like performance toward alkaline
hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is extremely desirable for the hydrogen economy but …

Phosphorus has aroused growing concern as a promising anode material for both lithium
and sodium ion batteries, owning to its high theoretical capacity and appropriately low redox …

In this paper, the use of nanostructured anode materials for rechargeable lithium-ion
batteries (LIBs) is reviewed. Nanostructured materials such as nano-carbons, alloys, metal …

Despite the imminent commercial introduction of Li‐ion batteries in electric drive vehicles
and their proposed use as enablers of smart grids based on renewable energy …

High‐performance and lost‐cost lithium‐ion and sodium‐ion batteries are highly desirable
for a wide range of applications including portable electronic devices, transportation (eg …

Research to develop alternative electrode materials with high energy densities in Li-ion
batteries has been actively pursued to satisfy the power demands for electronic devices and …

Application targets of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are moving from small‐sized mobile
devices of information technology to large‐scale electric vehicles (xEVs) and energy storage …

The average increase in the rate of the energy density of secondary batteries has been
about 3% in the past 60 years. Obviously, a great breakthrough is needed in order to …
