Abstract—Commercial Lithium-ion Batteries (LIBs) face issues like low energy density, limited capacity, and reduced power output due to lithium plating, mechanical effects, and heat release during high-rate charging, which fail to meet the growing demands of the energy storage market. Addressing these problems is imperative through developing fast-charging LIBs with higher energy density, improved safety, lower cost, and longer life cycles. This article reviews the current developments and research progress of high-energy and fast-charging LIBs. It provides a comprehensive overview of the factors affecting the energy density and charging speed of LIBs at the levels of cathode and anode materials and electrolytes. Additionally, the paper discusses the selection and optimization of cathode and anode materials and electrolyte types. Finally, this paper shares the views on potential issues and challenges in the development of next-generation LIBs, offering data support and theoretical guidance for designing high-energy and fast-charging LIBs.
