Here we report enhanced cycling performances achieved using nanostructured silicon films and inorganic solid electrolyte and show that amorphous porous silicon films maintain high capacity upon cycling (2962 mAh g −1 and 2.19 mAh cm −2 after 100 cycles).
(American Chemical Society) Amorphous silicon is a promising high-capacity anode material for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. However, the enormous vol. expansion of the active material during lithiation up to 400% (V/V0) is held responsible for capacity fading during cycling.
This shows the importance of obtaining a large specific capacity with an enlarged surface area and using high-rate performance electrode materials. Therefore, silicon and tin are also widely used in 3D thin film batteries. As early as 2011, a honeycomb 3D silicon anode material was designed by Notten’s group .
