Abstract
Because of its high voltage, high specific energy, and other good qualities, lithium-ion batteries have recently become one of the most popular studies. In the context of nanomaterials, this research investigates the function of nanomaterials in the application of lithium-sulfur and lithium-air batteries. In addition to examining the classification, benefits and drawbacks, uses and advances of nanomaterials, this essay also examines the fundamentals of two batteries, as well as the uses of nanomaterials in both types of batteries. The results show that nanomaterials have a very large surface area and a sudden change in material properties because of their arrival at the nanoscale, and have very good mechanical and optical properties, which have a very good contribution to the performance of the batteries. However, it was discovered that nanomaterials in lithium-ion battery applications still have issues, such as high cost and challenging synthesis procedures, through the investigation of several nanomaterials in two batteries. In addition to offering fresh perspectives for society, this study seeks to better understand the economic and safety issues associated with two batteries used in practical production.
