Glass and glass ceramic electrodes and solid electrolyte materials for lithium ion batteries: A review

Due to its distinct network structure, lack of a grain boundary, and isotropic qualities, glass has been the subject of extensive research. Lithium ion batteries can have their capacity and safety increased by using glassy electrode and electrolyte materials. We discuss the properties and uses of several types of glass and glass ceramic as anodes, including tin oxide glass, vanadium oxide glass, and so on. Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are also investigated as a new generation of high-performance anode materials. We present the usage of glassy MOF materials to overcome MOF material volume change during charge and discharge, as well as the order and disorder transition of certain MOF materials during charge and discharge. The use of vanadium-based glass as a cathode material is also discussed. These materials have the potential to be employed as electrode materials in the next generation of lithium- ion batteries. In addition, the application of glass, especially sulfide glass, as an all-solid-state battery electrolyte and the effect of mixed anion effect on improving the conductivity of solid electrolyte were introduced.
