简介:Developinglithium-ionbatteries(LIBs)/sodium-ionbatteries(SIBs)withhighenergydensityisvitaltomeetincreasinglydemandingrequirementsforenergystorage.TheinitialCoulombicefficiency(ICE)ofLIBsandSIBsanodematerials,whichisassociatedwiththeamountofredundantcathodematerialsinfullcells,isakeyparameterfortheimprovementofenergydensityinbatteries.Generally,thelowICEofanodematerialsiscompensatedbyadditionalloadingofcathodematerialsincurrentcommercialLIBs.Nevertheless,becausethespecificcapacityofcommonlithium-metaloxidecathodesislowerthanthatofanodes,anexcessiveamountofcathodematerials(10%–15%forgraphiteanodematerial)mustbeaddedtoovercometheinsufficientICEofanodematerials,whichleadstoanappreciablereductionofenergydensity.Specifically,thereductionisabout5%–20%oftotalavailablecapacityincommercialgraphiteelectrodes;and,itcanevenbeashighas15–50%fornext-generationhigh-capacityanodematerials(suchasSiandSn).MuchworkhasbeendevotedtoexploringanodematerialswithhighICEinLIBs/SIBs;however,tothebestofourknowledge,theredoesnotyetexistacomprehensivereview.Herein,weprovideanoverviewofICEofanodematerialsbothinLIBsandSIBs.Inthisreview,wefirstdiscussthecurrentunderstandingoftheassociationbetweenICEandenergydensity.Thisisfollowedbyadetailedassessmentofthereasonsoftheinitialcapacityloss(lowICE)forvarioustypesofanodematerials.AsummaryisthengivenofthegrowingnumberofmethodsandrelatedfundamentalmechanismsbeingusedtoenhanceICE.WeconcludewithaperspectiveonthecurrentchallengesandpromisingresearchdirectionsthatmightleadtofurtherimprovementsoftheICEandthefabricationofhigher-energy-densitybatteries."
