Abstract
We review work on rechargeable metal-ion batteries. Rechargeable metal-ion batteries play a crucial role in modern transport, communication and electronic industries with lithium ion batteries being the most common on the market. Despite the successful application, of lithium-ion batteries; their energy density, volumetric and gravimetric capacities, life span and charge /discharge rate have raised a lot of concern. Current research is being focused on the anode materials currently in use and also substituting Lithium/Sodium ion batteries. This review, we look into the structural, electronic and electrochemical properties of a newly synthesized Vanadium disulphide as promising near future anode for both sodium and lithium ion batteries
Keywords: Rechargeable metal-ion batteries; electronic industries, volumetric and gravimetric, structural, electronic and electrochemical properties, environmental pollution, Lithium ion batteries, 2D transitional metal chalcogenides (TMDs).
