A comprehensive review on the challenges associated with lithium-ion batteries and their possible solutions

Abstract

Cell phones, tablets, laptop computers, and many other consumer technology gadgets use lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The characteristics of lithium batteries include a high specific energy, great efficiency, and a long life. Owing to their distinctive qualities, lithium batteries are now the preferred power source for the electronics industry, with annual production in billions of units. This paper discusses several safety hazards introduced by mechanical, thermal, and electrical abuse as well as cutting-edge fixes for these difficulties. This review sought to achieve a deeper understanding of the safety risks of lithium-ion batteries depending on materials chemistry together with a positive response to these problems. This review discusses different methods for enhancing cell safety, including cooling, balancing, and cell chemistry. It then examines current safety regulations and associated testing procedures. Finally, it concludes with observations on potential future advancements and the prospects for safer lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
