Since the commercialization of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) in the early 1990s, tin (Sn),
antimony (Sb), and germanium (Ge)‐based anodes have attracted considerable research …

Lithium‐ion batteries have attracted much attention in the field like portable devices and
electronic vehicles. Due to growing demands of energy storage systems, lithium metal …

Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is an ion conductive yet electron‐insulating layer on
battery electrodes, which is formed by the reductive decomposition of electrolytes during the …

Silicon and germanium are among the most promising candidates as anodes for Li‐ion
batteries, meanwhile their potential application in sodium‐and potassium‐ion batteries is …

We report colloidal synthesis of antimony (Sb) nanocrystals with mean size tunable in the 10–
20 nm range and with narrow size distributions of 7–11%. In comparison to microcrystalline …

Germanium-based materials with extremely high theoretical energy capacities have gained
a lot of attention recently as potential anodes for lithium ion batteries. These materials can …
