p‐Phenylenediamine is used to successively generate two aryl radicals that are required to link silicon nanoparticles to graphite flakes by a phenyl bridge and form new silicon/graphite nanocomposites (see image). Such a covalent grafting technique enhances the cycling ability and the gravimetric capacity of the nano composite‐based electrode in a lithium‐ion battery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
