Rechargeable Li-based battery technologies utilising silicon, silicon-based, and Si-derivative anodes coupled with high-capacity/high-voltage insertion-type cathodes have reaped significant.
Is silicon a promising anode material for high energy-density lithium-ion batteries?
Liewu Li and Yizhao Yang contributed equally to this work. Silicon (Si) has emerged as a promising anode material in the pursuit of higher energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The large-scale applications of Si anode, however, are hindered by its significant swelling, severe pulverization, and continuous electrode–electrolyte reaction.
