Modification, application and expansion of electrode materials based on cobalt telluride

Abstract

Metal (Li, Na, K, Al)-ion batteries and lithium-sulfur and lithium-tellurium batteries are gaining recognition for their eco-friendly characteristics, substantial energy density, and sustainable attributes. However, the overall performance of rechargeable batteries heavily depends on their electrode materials. Transition metal tellurides have recently gained significant attention due to their high electrical conductivity and density. Cobalt telluride has received the most extensive research due to its catalytic activity, unique magnetic properties, and diverse composition and crystal structure. Nevertheless, its limited conductivity and significant volume variation contribute to electrode st..
