Abstract:In recent years, lithium-ion batteries (LiB) with Si anodes attracted increasing attention, particularly due to their high specific energy density. An optimization of this characteristic is extremely important for their extended use as power source not only in portable devices but also in larger applications, such as electric vehicles.The main disadvantage of using silicon as anode material in LIBs is its high volume expansion during lithiation, which leads to various negative effects, such as pulverization, d… 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.
