Tungsten-Based Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used as reliable electrochemical energy storage devices due to their high energy density and excellent cycling performance. The search for anode materials with excellent electrochemical performances remains critical to the further development of lithium-ion batteries. Tungsten-based materials are receiving considerable attention as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries owing to their high intrinsic density and rich framework diversity. This review describes the advances of exploratory research on tungsten-based materials (tungsten oxide, tungsten sulfide, tungsten diselenide, and their composites) in lithium-ion batteries, including synthesis methods, microstructures, and electrochemical performance. Some personal prospects for the further development of this field are also proposed.
