Kinetic analysis of silicon–lithium alloying reaction in silicon single crystal using soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Abstract

The anisotropy of the silicon–lithium alloying reaction is governed by the surface reaction of silicon.

Synthesis of Co@CoO/C by micro-tube method and their electrochemical performances

“…High theoretical specific capacity (712 mAh/g) and abundant resources make CoO as an excellent alternative to graphite materials. However, CoO has poor electrical conductivity, and undergoes a huge volume expansion effect during the charge and discharge process, which leads to the structural damage of electrode materials, powders and falls off, and then affects the cycle stability of the battery [ [8] , [9] , [10] ], limiting its commercial application in LIBs.…”
