Si-based anode materials theoretically offer superior lithium storage capacity. Replacing a graphite anode with high-capacity materials such as silicon will further improve the energy density. Durable, low-cost, and high-energy-density materials are vital to developing plug-in electric vehicles as affordable and convenient as gasoline-powered ones, while reducing carbon emissions.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This reference presents the knowledge gained over recent decades in the materials science and chemistry of silicon and its derivates as anode materials for Li-ion batteries, and provides insights into developing Si-based anode materials for next-generation batteries. Coverage includes the structure and chemistry of silicon, electrolytes and chemistry of Si anodes, nanostructure and binder additives for Si anodes, surface modification and mechanical properties.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Researchers in academia and industry will find this detailed reference a highly useful resource.</p>Fri, 05 Mar 2021 12:20:44 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/lithium-ion-batteries-enabled-by-silicon-anodes
