Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have transformed electrochemical energy storage technologies and made a substantial contribution to grid-scale energy storage and the e-mobility revolution. Notwithstanding their many benefits, safety issues specifically, thermal runaway incidents have drawn attention from all around the world. In addition to discussing safety concerns, cooling techniques, and the history of battery materials, this study offers a thorough analysis of the growth, difficulties, and developments in Li-ion battery technology. Quantum Espresso software has been used to compute the magnetic characteristics of several potential Li-ion battery materials, which can enhance Li-ion battery performance.
