Advances on synthesis and performance of Li-Ion anode batteries-a review

Abstract

Silicon-based lithium-ion battery negative electrodes represent one of graphite's most promising replacements. However, the enhanced capacity and unique Li⁺ storage method have raised the demands on the binder and other passive electrode components. For cycle stability, a sufficient carbonaceous matrix with silicon is needed. One of the most desirable anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) is Si, which has been noted for its exceptional volumetric and gravimetric qualities. Its affordability, abundance, and environmental safety stand out in particular. We assess the most recent improvements in the production of intercalation-type, conversion-type, and alloying-type anode materials in this work. After explaining the electrochemical reaction and failure, we reviewed several techniques for enhancing battery performance, including nanostructuring, alloying, building hierarchical structures, and employing the proper binders. Researchers will get the necessary information from this research work to conduct future research.
