Abstract
Building battery materials from the atom up is a fascinating topic, touching on art, scientific curiosity, and engineering control. Chemical composition dictates bulk thermodynamic properties, whereas nanostructuring enables tunable ion kinetics. Varying dimensions from nanosize to hierarchical structures with different size leads to the development of different nanostructured cathode materials with unique properties. This chapter briefly discusses the synthesis and properties of different nanostructured cathode materials toward battery applications. It also provides general comments on the intricate relationships between crystallographic structure, impurities, size, and shape morphologies of designed materials to suit desired charge-discharge profiles. The discussed materials include layered materials, spinels, olivines, and various 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D materials.
