Nanomaterials as well their applications and effects in batteries

Abstract

In recent years, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, electric vehicles have appeared in front of the public, and there is a trend to replace fuel vehicles. However, the reason why fuel vehicles have not been completely replaced until now is that there are many problems in the batteries of electric vehicles, such as low speed of charging, low capacity, and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the electric vehicle battery. In this paper, by summarizing nanomaterials and their applications in batteries, the optimization direction of batteries and the problems to be avoided are clarified. By reviewing the types, properties, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of common nanomaterials, as well as summarizing the application of nanomaterials in batteries, it is concluded that nanomaterials have many obvious advantages in the field of batteries, which can improve the reaction rate, energy, capacity, etc. However, at the same time, it inevitably brings disadvantages. The future work will be to take advantage of nanomaterials while avoiding or reducing the impact of disadvantages. This paper can provide researchers with a macro perspective on the application of nanomaterials in batteries, so that stakeholders can more accurately design ideal battery electrode materials, thereby promoting the development of electric vehicles and further improving the trend of global warming.
