It is widely accepted that for electric vehicles to be accepted by consumers and to achieve wide market penetration, ranges of at least 500 km at an affordable cost are required. Therefore, significant improvements to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in terms of energy density and cost along the battery value chain are required, while other key performance indicators, such as lifetime, safety, fast-charging ability and low-temperature performance, need to be enhanced or at least sustained. Here, we review advances and challenges in LIB materials for automotive applications, in particular with respect to cost and performance parameters. The production processes of anode and cathode materials are discussed, focusing on material abundance and cost. Advantages and challenges of different types of electrolyte for automotive batteries are examined. Finally, energy densities and costs of promising battery chemistries are critically evaluated along with an assessment of the potential to fulfil the ambitious targets of electric vehicle propulsion.

为了使电动汽车为消费者所接受并实现广泛的市场渗透，人们普遍认为，要求以可承受的成本至少行驶500公里。因此，需要在整个电池价值链的能量密度和成本方面对锂离子电池（LIB）进行重大改进，同时还需要其他关键性能指标，例如寿命，安全性，快速充电能力和低温性能。增强或至少持续。在这里，我们回顾了汽车用LIB材料的进步和挑战，特别是在成本和性能参数方面。讨论了阳极和阴极材料的生产过程，重点是材料的丰度和成本。研究了用于汽车电池的不同类型电解质的优点和挑战。最后，
