Advancements in next-generation batteries: innovative strategies for lithium-ion batteries for unveiling the potential of full manganese-based cathode materials

Abstract Lithium-ion batteries play a vital role in the fields of electrification and spur the development of sustainable and high-performance cathodes. The paper will be a comprehensive analysis of the paper with a discussion of the traditional cathode materials and their limitations. The paper under review discusses the evolution of Full Manganese-Based Cathode Materials as alternatives to traditional cobalt- and nickel-based systems that are more cost-effective. It discusses major synthesis techniques, structurally related (spinel, layered, and cation-disordered rock-salt), and compositional engineering approaches. The key discoveries point to the benefits of Full Manganese-Based Cathode Materials in terms of cost and thermal stability and such serious challenges as manganese dissolution and Jahn-Teller distortion. The review mentions some of the innovative mitigation measures such as entropy stabilization and anionic redox engineering. To conclude, the current research on such materials is needed to produce the next generation of high-energy and sustainable Lithium-ion batteries.
