Silicon is widely recognized as the most promising upgrade for graphite anodes due to its
much higher capacity, natural abundance, and ability to be directly applied in the slurry …

Silicon anodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have the potential for higher energy density
compared to conventionally used graphite‐based LIB anodes. However, silicon anodes …

Unstable electrode/electrolyte interface is the major cause of degradation for silicon (Si)-
based anodes for lithium (Li)-ion batteries. Development of functional electrolyte additives …

Herein, we evaluate the effect of covalently attached molecular coating hydrophobicity on
the surface of the silicon nanoparticle (Si NP) active anode material for Li-ion batteries. The …

Silicon is a high-capacity material for the anode of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. One of
the fundamental challenges for using Si in anodes is capacity fading, which has been …

Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) are recognized as a promising anode material for next-generation
high-energy lithium-ion batteries. However, due to the more stringent requirements resulting …

Silicon's potential as a lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode is hindered by the reactivity of the
lithium silicide (Li x Si) interface. This study introduces an innovative approach by alloying …
