Multifunctional Nano-Architecting of Si Electrode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Battery Anode

What is it about?

Silicon (Si)-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries are highly attractive due to their high lithium storage capacity, but their performance is typically plagued by huge volumetric changes during battery cycling. Researchers have traditionally considered the roles of interactive binders and conductive additives as separate entities. Necessary additions of these two components often lead to a significantly decreased mass ratio of Si to non-active material, which inevitably limits the anode's absolute capacity.
