In this critical Review we focus on the evolution of the hybrid ion capacitor (HIC) from its
early embodiments to its modern form, focusing on the key outstanding scientific and …

Nanomaterials provide many desirable properties for electrochemical energy storage
devices due to their nanoscale size effect, which could be significantly different from bulk or …

There are growing concerns over the environmental, climate, and health impacts caused by
using non‐renewable fossil fuels. The utilization of green energy, including solar and wind …

This is the first targeted review of the synthesis–microstructure–electrochemical performance
relations of MoS2–based anodes and cathodes for secondary lithium ion batteries (LIBs) …

High energy lithium ion batteries are in demand for consumer electronics, electric-drive
vehicles and grid-scale stationary energy storage. Si is of great interest since it has 10 times …

First attempts to create batteries using an ion other than the proton were done in the 1970s
with the fabrication of lithium primary cells. It was the fast development of the electronic …

After more than 20 years of steady progress, lithium-ion batteries still exhibit modest energy
capacities that seem to have reached their asymptotic values with the present combination …

Germanium-based materials with extremely high theoretical energy capacities have gained
a lot of attention recently as potential anodes for lithium ion batteries. These materials can …

The lithium-ion battery (LIB) is an efficient electrochemical energy storage device with high
voltage, long life, good safety, etc. Silicon has a high theoretical specific capacity (4200 mA …

Li‐alloying materials such as Si and Ge nanowires have emerged as the forerunners to
replace the current, relatively low‐capacity carbonaceous based Li‐ion anodes. Since the …
