Enhancing Lithium-Ion Diffusion Kinetics in a 3D Lithium Metal Host through Surface Modification with Hierarchical Multimetal Oxides.

Lithium metal is a promising anode candidate to achieve high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) due to its ultrahigh theoretical capacity (3860 mA h g) and low electrochemical potential (-3.04 V vs S.H.

Wrapping silicon microparticles by using well-dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes for the preparation of high-performance lithium-ion battery anode.

Silicon microparticles (SiMPs) show considerable promise as an anode material in high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their low-cost starting material and high capacity. The failure issues associated with the intrinsically low conductivity and significant volume expansion of Si have largely been resolved by designing silicon/carbon composites using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs are important in terms of stress dissipation and the conductive network in Si/CNT composites.
