Abstract
A systematic approach to creating lithium-ion batteries: the relationship between the main battery components and the principle of operation
Incoming article date: 11.09.2025The article discusses the application of a systematic approach to the development and optimization of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Traditional methods that focus on improving individual components (anode, cathode, and electrolyte) often do not lead to a proportional increase in the overall performance of the battery system. The systematic approach views LIBs as a complex, interconnected system where the properties of each component directly influence the behavior of others and the overall performance, including energy and power density, life cycle, safety, and cost. The work analyzes the key aspects of the approach: the interdependence between the main components of a lithium-ion battery, as well as the features of selecting materials for each component. It is proven that only a multidisciplinary approach that combines chemistry, materials science, and engineering can achieve a synergistic effect and create highly efficient, safe, and reliable battery systems for modern applications.
