Energy storage devices are important components in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and the electrical distribution grid. Batteries have achieved great success as the spearhead of electrochemical energy storage devices but need to be further developed in order to meet the ever-increasing energy demands, especially the new materials and processing method need to be further developed to achieve a sustainable production and usage. Rational design of not only the electrode materials, but also the inactive materials/components for example binder, conductive additives, current collectors are very important in developing high performance, low cost and sustainable lithium-ion battery. Starting from the issues of the current materials and technologies used in the battery cell production, I will introduce some of our recent works about how to design and fabricate sustainable active and inactive materials for the development of high-performance lithium-ion battery and future batteries. Specifically, the binder, sustainable electrode processing, current collector modification, coating strategies, and conductive additives will be discussed, and the use of various advanced characterization techniques (in situ/operando) to understand the materials and their energy storage mechanisms will be covered.
