Composites are prepared by simple mixture of laser pyrolysed silicon nanoparticles and petroleum pitch, a low cost carbon source. Helped by a homogeneous dispersion of Si nanoparticles into the pitch matrix high stability over cycling is observed.
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.
