"Nanostructure designing and hybridizing of high-capacity silicon-based" by Longzhi Li, Yue Deng et al.
Lithium-ion batteries have long been used in electronic products and electric vehicles, but their energy density is slowly failing to keep up with demand. Because of its extraordinarily high theoretical specific capacity, silicon is regarded as the most potential next-generation anode material for practical lithium-ion batteries. However, its unavoidable volume expansion issue can cause electrode deformation and loss of electrical contact during cycling, resulting in significant performance reduction. This work reviews and evaluates the modification measures of Si, SiO, and SiO2 as anode mater...
