“Silicon has transformed the way we store information, and now it’s transforming the way we store energy,” says Group14’s chief technology officer, Rick Costantino. Silicon promises longer-range, faster-charging and more-affordable EVs than those whose batteries feature today’s graphite anodes.
Are two-dimensional covalently bound Si-C hybrid materials suitable for lithium storage?
As a proof-of-concept, two-dimensional covalently bound Si-C hybrid materials (namely, SF@G) are shown to exhibit stable, high-capacity, and high-rate lithium storage properties with respect to weight, volume, and area. Such a high level of integrated performance is markedly superior to previous literature studies.
Can silicon carbon composite be used in lithium ion batteries?
Although the silicon carbon composite has obtained good electrochemical performance, the preparation process of silicon carbon composite usually uses spray drying or chemical vapor deposition, which is complex and difficult to operate, and is difficult to be commercially applied in large-scale in lithium-ion batteries.
