Electrochemical characteristics and energy densities of lithium-ion batteries using mesoporous silicon and graphite as anodes

High-Performance Room Temperature Lithium-Ion Battery Solid Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) Combining Ionic Liquid and Zeolite

“…The zeolites, another family of microporous materials that have some structural similarities with MOFs, occur naturally and have an exclusively inorganic nature. Because they usually possess higher thermal and chemical stability and are cheaper and more durable than MOFs, they are suitable for applications in a wide variety of areas that span from medicine, microfluidics, and air and water treatments to fuel cells and energy storage systems . However, zeolites have not yet been the subject of a systematic and extensive study in the area of SPEs.…”

Challenges and Recent Progress on Silicon‐Based Anode Materials for Next‐Generation Lithium‐Ion Batteries

“…It is necessary for the utilization of both graphite and Si, the commercial graphite endows relatively low capacity, volume change and good electrochemical behavior such as the formation of SEI as well as relatively high electrical conductivity [15a,24b,48,85] . The multiple advantages of graphite can help compensate for the weaknesses of Si anode [10c,86] . In contrast, coutilization of Si and graphite also can alleviate the electrode swelling, volume change, and perfect nearly the intact electrochemical performances at acceptable price ( Figure ).…”

“…However, the energy density is below expectations to develop more cost‐effective Si/graphite anode. The preparation process of Si/graphite anode greatly affects the properties, there are five main synthetic methods, including CVD, [ 89 ] ball milling, [85b] spray drying, [86b] thermochemical pyrolysis, [85a] and liquid solidification [7b] . The various synthetic methods influence the distribution of Si in anode which determined to the electrode swelling.…”

Metal–organic frameworks and zeolite materials as active fillers for lithium-ion battery solid polymer electrolytes

“…175,176 In the field of the LIBs, zeolites are employed in the anodes, to prevent the volume changes during the charge and discharge processes, and to increase the specific energy of the batteries. 177,178 Zeolites are also used in the development of nanocomposite separators, with the goal of increasing the wettability and electrolyte uptake of the membranes, as well as to improve their stability at high temperatures. 179,180 Zeolites, such as 13X, 179 ZSM-5 180,181 and 4A, 182 have been used…”
