Silicon anode solid-state batteries Research on solid-state batteries has focused on lithium metal anodes. Alloy-based anodes have received less attention in part due to their lower specific capacity even though they should be safer. Tan et al . developed a slurry-based approach to create films from micrometer-scale silicon particles that can be used in anodes with carbon binders. When incorporated into solid-state batteries, they showed good performance across a range of temperatures and excellent cycle life in full cells. —MSL

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are viewed as promising next-generation energy storage devices, due to their enhanced safety by replacing organic liquid electrolytes with non-flammable solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). The high ionic conductivity...

The n-doped poly(phenanthrenequinone) is electrically conductive to be successfully used as the binder for nano-silicon negative electrodes.
