Lithium-ion battery silicon-based composite materials
Silicon is considered to be a potential anode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries because of its high theoretical capacity of 4200 mAh/g and low working potential, below 0.5 V (V vs. Li + /Li) which is ten times higher than that of graphite anode (372 mAh/g). However, during lithiation/delithiation processes of the battery, Si-based anode suffers from …
