This work aims to review and understand the behavior of the electrochemical lithiation onset
of amorphous silicon (a-Si) films as electrochemically active material for new generation …

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the predominant and widely used energy storage
systems in portable electronic devices, such as video cameras, smartphones, laptops, and …

Silicon–carbon (Si–C) nanocomposites have recently established themselves among the
most promising next-generation anode materials for lithium (Li)-ion batteries. Indeed …

The electrode morphology and electrochemistry of silicon nanocomposite electrodes
containing either carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) or poly (acrylic acid)(PAA) binders are …

The pseudo-catalytic properties of lithium (Li)-based alloys with group 14 elements were
investigated for ammonia (NH3) synthesis under ambient conditions. The reaction between …

The lithiation onset of amorphous silicon (a-silicon) films up to 10% state of charge (SOC) is
characterized by a Li+-uptake region around 0.5 V vs a Li reference electrode. In the …

Since the initial demonstration that amorphous silicon (a-Si) can serve as a high-energy
anode for lithium (Li)-ion batteries, substantial efforts have been made to enhance its fast …

A consistent thermodynamic description of the Li-Si system and its extension to the Li-Si-H
system is developed based on comprehensive Calphad-type assessment of all pertinent …

Electric vehicles (EVs) are on the brink of revolutionizing transportation, but the current
lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in them have significant limitations in terms of fast-charging …

Herein, the lithiophilicity of Li2O and the capillary action-induced absorption of molten Li are
employed to fabricate a hierarchically structured three-dimensional (3D) Li metal electrode …
