An Account of the Influence of TMDC Anodic Materials on Li/Na-ion Battery Capacity

The studies have revealed that there are a lot of scope designing high-energy capacity battery and it is also very challenging. The capacity of the battery depends on several factors like electrode materials, electrolyte, separator, etc., Electrode material plays a crucial role in battery capacity. It is observed that the battery capacity depends on the materials used in electrodes, and the synthesis process. To date, typically used batteries are Ni-Cd, Li-ion, and Na-ion batteries. Numerous studies have been conducted on the synthesis process of alkali metal ion (Li-ion, K-ion, and Na-ion) batteries to improve the electrochemical properties by developing scalable strategy structures. The electrochemical properties in metal-ion batteries are more dependent on anodic materials. This paper is an account of the battery capacities with good cycle life for different anodic materials mainly Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) for both Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. The highlight is the Transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2, M = Mo, W, V, Ta, Ti, and X = S, Se, Te) synthesis process which enhances the specific storage capacity of the battery.
