Are rechargeable lithium-based batteries a good energy storage device?

Rechargeable lithium-based batteries have become one of the most important energy storage devices 1, 2. The batteries function reliably at room temperature but display dramatically reduced energy, power, and cycle life at low temperatures (below −10 °C) 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, which limit the battery use in cold climates 8, 9.

Are rechargeable lithium-based batteries stable at low temperatures?

Nature Energy 5, 534–542 (2020) Cite this article Stable operation of rechargeable lithium-based batteries at low temperatures is important for cold-climate applications, but is plagued by dendritic Li plating and unstable solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI).

Can lithium-ion batteries be used at low temperatures?

Challenges and limitations of lithium-ion batteries at low temperatures are introduced. Feasible solutions for low-temperature kinetics have been introduced. Battery management of low-temperature lithium-ion batteries is discussed.

Can lithium-metal batteries be used for performance-critical low-temperature applications?

Specifically, the prospects of using lithium-metal, lithium-sulfur, and dual-ion batteries for performance-critical low-temperature applications are evaluated. These three chemistries are presented as prototypical examples of how the conventional low-temperature charge-transfer resistances can be overcome.

Are Li metal batteries good for low-temperature operation?

Recently, attention is gradually paid to Li metal batteries for low-temperature operation, where the explorations on high-performance low-temperature electrolytes emerge as a hot topic. In this review, the progress of low-temperature Li metal batteries is systematically summarized.

Are low-temperature rechargeable batteries possible?

Consequently, dendrite-free Li deposition was achieved, Li anodes were cycled in a stable manner over a wide temperature range, from −60 °C to 45 °C, and Li metal battery cells showed long cycle lives at −15 °C with a recharge time of 45 min. Our findings open up a promising avenue in the development of low-temperature rechargeable batteries.
