Lithium-ion Batteries, Energy Densities , Gravimetric, VolumetricAbstract
The demand for lithium-ion batteries, owing to their diverse applications such as in electric
vehicles, aerospace, and electronic devices, has increased rapidly through the years. Since the
first prototype of the Lithium-ion battery in 1985, new versions of the Li-ion battery have seen
changes and modifications to the structure of the battery, particularly in the cathode and anode
used. These, in turn, have increased efficiency and commercial viability in various ways,
including by allowing for higher energy densities. This paper analyses trends in the volumetric
and gravimetric energy densities of lithium-ion batteries from 2012 to 2022, ascertained using
research papers which discuss lithium-ion batteries, and the implications of the evolution of
these metrics.
