Technical FAQs 4

Is crystalline Si a promising material for Li-ion batteries?

Hence, the utilization of crystalline Si has been identified as a promising material, not just for anodes in Li-ion batteries 9, 10, 11, 12, but also highly relevant to emerging technologies like all-solid-state-batteries 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.

Can silicon be used in solid-state batteries?

Silicon is one of the most promising anode materials due to its very high specific capacity (3590 mAh g –1), and recently its use in solid-state batteries (SSBs) has been proposed.

What are the microstructural features of silicon anodes in solid-state batteries?

The resulting microstructural features, including heterogeneous phase distribution and residual crystalline silicon, directly reflect these practical operating conditions and were highly relevant for understanding the behavior of silicon anodes in solid-state batteries.

Why is material science important for Li-ion batteries?

Here, material science starts to play a pivotal element in developing superior electrode materials, crucial for the next-generation Li-ion batteries. The integration of silicon (Si) with a high weight percentage into LIB anodes holds immense potential to revolutionize the energy storage landscape.
