During the initial lithiation of the negative electrode, as Li ions are incorporated into the active material, the potential of the negative electrode decreases below 1 V (vs. Li/Li +) toward the reference electrode (Li metal), approaching 0 V in the later stages of the process.
As discussed below, this leads to significant problems. Negative electrodes currently employed on the negative side of lithium cells involving a solid solution of lithium in one of the forms of carbon. Lithium cells that operate at temperatures above the melting point of lithium must necessarily use alloys instead of elemental lithium.
There has been a large amount of work on the understanding and development of graphites and related carbon-containing materials for use as negative electrode materials in lithium batteries since that time. Lithium–carbon materials are, in principle, no different from other lithium-containing metallic alloys.
The limitations in potential for the electroactive material of the negative electrode are less important than in the past thanks to the advent of 5 V electrode materials for the cathode in lithium-cell batteries. However, to maintain cell voltage, a deep study of new electrolyte–solvent combinations is required.
Mainly, the high solubility in aqueous electrolytes of the ZnO produced during cell discharge in the negative electrode favors a poor reproducibility of the electrode surface exposed to the electrolyte with risk of formation of zinc dendrites during charge. In order to avoid this problem, mixing with graphite has favorable effects.
Research in the field of ambient temperature rechargeable batteries has achieved significant growth in the last three decades. In the period from 1970 to 1990, lithium batteries provided an apparent solution to the energy density problem due to the low atomic weight of lithium metal and the high voltages obtained.
