Abstract:

As the typical anode material for lithium batteries, antimony-based materials have attracted much attention due to their high theoretical specific capacity and high safety performance. Nevertheless, antimony-based materials suffer significant capacity fading due to their large volume expansion in the charge-discharge process and poor electrical conductivity, which severely hinders their commercial applications in lithium batteries. The research progress of antimony-based anode materials in recent years is presented in this paper. Reaction mechanism, synthetic method and electrochemical performance are introduced and the research trend of antimony-based anode materials is prospected in the end.

Key words: lithium ion battery, antimony-based anode material, electrochemical performance
