Abstract

Ever since the 2^nd industrial revolution, people’s demand of energy has increased a lot not just high power but also convenience and security. Batteries have been popular among people of all ages since it was invented for it satisfied most of them. However, most of them can only be used once so that is the reason why lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are invented. Lithium-ion batteries hold well on their mass and volume, which solves the bulks’ obstacles over centuries. More importantly, they own wonderful voltage as well as capacity. With the development of lithium-ion batteries, people’s demand of better materials became more and more stronger. Graphite material has had a dominant position in both commercial and industrial area. However, there are more extraordinary compounds whose properties like capacity and potential are better than those of carbon. Therefore, several new materials that scientists researched about are introduced below to compare them with carbon. Meanwhile, nanomaterials have caught people’s eyes because they are newborn subject for science. By modification, they can improve properties of different materials. This article is a literature review of lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, it will combine batteries with nanomaterials together to explore better methods to use in lithium-ion batteries.
