Nanomaterials for negative electrodes of lithium-ion batteries
A Si-based negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is produced from methanol solutions of single-nanometer-size B and P co-doped Si nanoparticles (NPs) by drop-coating the solution on a substrate in air without using binders and conductive additives. Stable charge–discharge cycles are observed for films produced from Si NPs in the size range from less than 2 to 12.5 nm in ...
