Tremendous ongoing technological advancements in various aspects of LiB have been able to diminish such challenges partly. For instance, the specific energy of lithium-ion battery cells has been enhanced from approximately 140 Wh.kg−1 to over 250 Wh.kg −1 in the last decade , resulting in a higher driving range for BEVs.

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are pivotal in the shift towards electric mobility, having seen an 85 % reduction in production costs over the past decade. However, achieving even more significant cost reductions is vital to making battery electric vehicles (BEVs) widespread and competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs).
From the commercialization of lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) as the first lithium-ion technology, a variety of LiB technologies have been promoted. These technologies, in general, are classified into 3 categories: layered (LCO, NCA, and NMC), spinel (LMO, LNMO), and polyanion (LFP), with different costs, safety, lifespan, and performance .
