Prof. Feng Pan's Team Reports New Progress on Enhancing Interfacial Stability of High-Performance Silicon-Based Anodes via Electrolyte Engineering

Silicon monoxide (SiOx, 0<x<2), with its high specific capacity, low operating potential, and low cost, is regarded as an ideal anode material for achieving high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Previous research by the team of Feng Pan and Luyi Yang from the School of Advanced Materials (SAM) revealed that the severe expansion–contraction of SiOx during cycling leads to continuous thicke...
