Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMO) have been the well-touted choice of recipe for Li-ion batteries for the last two decades after their discovery. Their key factors include long cycle life, high-rate capability, and high volumetric energy density, making transition metal oxides an attractive choice for research and commercial regimes. In the past decade, several improvements to stoichiometry and material morphology were presented to overcome the disadvantages and improve the electrochemical properties of the TMO. Nanomaterials feature a high surface area to volume ratio, a short lithium diffusion path, and offer vast morphological choices for Li-ion batteries. Despite the unique inherent features, nanomaterials require further research and morphological optimizations to be on par with state-of-the-art commercial materials. This chapter focuses on the applications of transition metal-oxide nanomaterials in Li-ion batteries based on the cumulative ideas of several scientific reports. This chapter aims to create a depository of several ideas and lay out the challenges to aid researchers focusing on nanomaterials, unraveling a new paradigm of energy storage materials for Li-ion batteries.
