Abstract:Silicon remains a promising anode material for next generation lithium-ion batteries, despite the well-documented issues associated with it, due to its abundance and high capacity (3579mAh/g: almost 10 times higher than the capacity of graphite). The problems still facing Si-based battery commercialization are volume expansion, which results in rapid capacity fade, and continued Li loss through SEI formation from electrolyte decomposition. To address this problem, effective binders are considered to be one s… 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.
