Abstract:Si has attracted considerable interest as a promising anode material for nextgeneration Li-ion batteries owing to its outstanding specific capacity. However, the commercialization of Si anodes has been consistently limited by severe instabilities originating from their significant volume change (approximately 300%) during the charge− discharge process. Herein, we introduce an ultrafast processing strategy of controlled multipulse flash irradiation for stabilizing the Si anode by modifying its physical properti… Show more
“…Silicon is another attractive anode material for next-generation LIBs due to its excellent specific capacity. Jae et al 134 introduced a cost-effective IR-assisted ultrafast processing strategy that improves Si anode's cycle stability and rate capability. The sustained capacity of IR flash-treated sample at a high rate of 5 A g −1 was 70% higher than conventionally dried samples.…”

“…For example, pitch is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and can be derived from petroleum. [89] Choi et al [90] coated pitch onto Si nanolayer, which was embedded in a graphite anode. Pitch can withstand the severe volume expansion that occurred upon Si lithiation owing to its high mechanical strength.…”
“…25 If hybrid carbon–metal oxide/hydroxide materials are completely replaced by silicon materials, the specific capacity of fabricated electrodes can be improved, but the rate and cycle stability may be compromised. 26 Therefore, it is highly desired to explore a method that can not only circumvent the inherent shortcoming of silicon-based materials but also considerably enhance the specific capacity of carbon–metal oxide/hydroxide hybrid materials.…”
A method of incorporating nickel silicate into carbon–metal oxide/hydroxide hybrid materials is recommended to improve their overall lithium-ion storage performance.
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.
