Abstract
We review the effect that various structures and composites synthesized by spray pyrolysis have on the electrochemical performance of next-generation electrodes for medium and large lithium ion batteries. The morphologies of electrode particles in particular have a strong influence on the capacity, power, safety, and cycle life. Recent progress in improving the electrochemical performance of electrodes is provided with a particular focus on electrodes composed of nanoparticles, core-shell or yolk-shell structures, and carbon-based composites. Finally, we propose a direction for future research for high-performance lithium ion batteries incorporating fabrication by spray pyrolysis.
