Recent development of low temperature plasma technology for lithium-ion battery materials

With the depletion of global fossil fuels and the deterioration of environmental pollution, developing a new type of energy storage device has become increasingly important. In this context, the lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have emerged as an important solution to the energy crisis due to its low self-discharge rate, high energy density. However, its poor electrochemical performance, low power density, and limited recycling ability have hindered its development and application. To address these issues, researchers have proposed the use of low temperature plasma (LTP) technology as an efficient and environmentally friendly method for lithium-ion batterys' material modification. This paper reviews the background, basic principles, and current research progress of LTP in the field of lithium-ion power battery materials, with a focus on the main research results of LTP in the material design and modification of various components of LIBs.
