What are tungsten-based materials in lithium-ion batteries?

This review describes the advances of exploratory research on tungsten-based materials (tungsten oxide, tungsten sulfide, tungsten diselenide, and their composites) in lithium-ion batteries, including synthesis methods, microstructures, and electrochemical performance.

Are tungsten-based anode materials suitable for lithium-ion batteries?

The search for anode materials with excellent electrochemical performances remains critical to the further development of lithium-ion batteries. Tungsten-based materials are receiving considerable attention as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries owing to their high intrinsic density and rich framework diversity.

Are niobium tungsten oxides a good battery material?

As such, he says niobium tungsten oxides can store a similar amount of charge per unit weight as conventional lithium-ion battery materials while potentially avoiding the complexity and cost of nanoparticles. The scientists are now trying to find the best cathode and electrolyte materials to accompany niobium tungsten oxide anodes.

Do tungsten oxides affect the performance of Li-S batteries?

Tungsten oxides show a strong trapping effect on LiPSs, which can inhibit the shuttle effect, so as to improve the performance of Li–S batteries. However, its poor electrical conductivity is not conducive to the slow LiPSs conversion, resulting in a poor rate.

Are tungsten-based catalysts suitable for Li-S batteries?

Based on this, tungsten-based nanomaterials can effectively achieve rapid conversion of LiPSs and inhibit the shuttle effect. Herein, the latest progress in tungsten-based catalysts for Li–S batteries was reviewed from the aspects of design idea, engineering strategy, and electrochemical performance.
