The exceptionally high theoretical capacity of silicon as a Li-ion battery anode material is hard to realize and stabilize in practice due to huge volume changes during lithiation/de-lithiation. With the use of black phosphorus additive we could achieve tremendous stability due to strain management.
A zinc-based coordination polymer with photochromic 4,4′-bipyridinium derivatives as redox active building units is demonstrated as an anode material for Li-ion batteries.
Ternary spinel NiCo2S4 nanorods demonstrate high specific capacity and outstanding cycling stability as Li ion battery anodes due to restriction of a polymeric gel passivation layer by the CMC–PAA composite binder.
High capacity Co2VO4 becomes a potential anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) benefiting from its lower output voltage during cycling than other cobalt vanadates. However, the application of this...
