The development of novel electrode materials with good electrochemical performances is necessary for the expanded and varied applications of lithium-ion batteries, and this development heavily relies on cathode materials. Due to excellent thermal stability, abundance, low cost, and environmental friendliness, orthosilicate cathode materials Li MSiO (M = Fe, Mn) has received a lot of attention recently. The present review article gives a glimpse into the characteristics, advantages, and recent progress of orthosilicate cathode materials. This review starts with a brief history and working mechanism of batteries, the advantages of cathode materials followed by types of cathode materials, various synthesis methods, and different techniques used for their characterization. The most current initiatives to enhance orthosilicate Li MSiO type electrochemical performances were introduced in this review. We provide a critical assessment of the efficient modification techniques for the orthosilicate Li MSiO type cathode materials in particular. These potential cathode materials' synthesis, structure, morphologies, and particularly electrochemical performances have been thoroughly examined. This evaluation, we hope, will clarify the sustained advancement of high-efficiency and reasonably priced Li-ion batteries.
