These include their exceptional energy density, power density, and extended cycle life. The high energy density of LIBs allows them to store a significant amount of energy in a compact size, making them ideal for portable electronic devices. Additionally, their high power density enables them to deliver a substantial amount of power quickly, which is crucial for applications such as electric vehicles. Moreover, LIBs exhibit a long cycle life, meaning they can undergo numerous charge and discharge cycles without significant degradation in performance. This longevity makes them reliable and cost-effective for grid storage systems. Overall, the exceptional features of LIBs have propelled their extensive use in various industries, revolutionizing the way we power our devices and vehicles. The discovery of intercalation electrodes by Whittingham in the 1970s laid the foundation for LIB development. In the subsequent decades, Goodenough and his colleagues played a pivotal role by developing crucial cathode materials such as layered, spinel, and polyanion. Additionally, Yoshino's pioneering work involved the creation of the first safe LIB prototype, which employed LiCoO2 as the positive electrolde and carbon/graphite as the negative electrode. Since then, remarkable advancements have been achieved in increasing energy density, power density, cycle life, cost-effectiveness, and safety of lithium-ion batteries (Liu, 2021).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLithium Metal BatteriesNanocomposite and Nanohybrid GelPolymer ElectrolytesBook Chapter133170
