2.1 Improving Anode will Significantly Increase Specific Capacity

2.2 Safety of Electrode is the Most Important Requirement

2.3 Research in Battery is a Long Process

2.4 Silicon has the Highest Theoretical Limit

2.5 Material Producers Companies Are Mostly From Asia Pacific

2.6 Cathode is Crucial for Lightweighting the Battery

2.7 NMC has the Highest Specific Capacity

2.8 Asia Pacific Dominates Production of Cathode Active Materials

3.1 A Good Electrode Should Have High Voltage Difference

3.2 Capacity, Nanomaterial and Cycling Stability are Important Areas

3.3High Specific Density is the Most Researched Topic for Anode

3.4The Main Focus is to Increase Capacity by Using Nanomaterials

3.5High Cycling Stability is Important to Ensure Long Usage Life

3.6 New Electrode Materials Tend To Change Volume Drastically

3.7 Researchers Should Also Focus on Power Density

3.8 Modelling Process Should Also Becomes Focus

4.1 Overview of Analytical Tools

4.2 Interest for Electrodes Co-relates With Interest for Li-Ion Batteries

4.3 Asia Dominating the Patent Filings
