Abstract:Nowadays, Li-ion batteries are ubiquitous and dominate the portable storage market. However, their utilizations for high-energy applications are limited and they present huge social challenges for the future, especially for the applications to electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs and HEVs respectively). One strategy, praised by both academics and industry, the high capacity electrode materials, notably silicon, as it is considered an attractive graphite substitute in Li-ion battery anode. Silicon (Si) is… Show more
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.
