Abstract:The use of metal alloys as negative electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries offers the potential for high lithium storage capacities at low cost, two key aspects for competitive energy storage technologies. Recent work shows that a single piece of aluminum foil can be used as both the negative electrode active material and current collector, and in a full cell configuration, support over 100 cycles without appreciable capacity fade.1 This breakthrough is due to control of the nucleation and growth of the … 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.
