Urchin-like microspheres consisting of radial carbon-coated cobalt monoxide nanowires are designed, to fabricate a micro/nano hierarchical structure for efficient Li-storage.
A novel shock-wave combustion synthesis method was developed for ultra-scalable, clean and energy efficient conversion of sand to nanostructured silicon with excellent performance as an anode material for Li-ion batteries.
Cation-disordered Zn(Cu)–Si–P family materials demonstrate better Li-storage performance than the cation-ordered ZnSiP2 phase due largely to faster electronic and ionic conductivity and better tolerance to volume change during cycling, as confirmed by DFT calculations and experimental measurements.
