Abstract: The shortage of fossil energy and the impact of CO₂ emission constitute a major challenge of 21st century,which makes a major incentive to get alternative power source of vehicle propulsion. Power cell,as the limiting factor of driving distance and safety issue of electric vehicles,plays a pivotal role in the upcoming ubiquitous usage of electric transportation. In this review,the improvements of power batteries in design and manufacture along with developments of electric vehicles was presented with an emphasize in introducing both the most promising cathode,anode and electrolyte materials in next generation of lithium-ion batteries and the status of new systems beyond lithium-ion batteries. Moreover,the possible areas of new power cell research were proposed:in the near term,enhancing the stability of Ni-rich cathode material and improving the conductivity of lithium-ion in solid-state electrolyte while reducing the volume effects of silicon anode material are good ways to ensure higher driving distance and better safety; in the medium term,magnesium-ion battery still has many side effects,however,multiple lithium-ion battery has already possessed higher energy than Ni-rich cathode material at low rates,which is worthy of more attention; in the long term,metal-air battery is in the starting point,while Li-S battery has good application future if shuttle effects caused by sulfur polycrystalline are reduced.
