An Overview of the Formation and Stability of the Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) for Nanostructured Silicon-Based Anode Electrodes Used in Li-ion Batteries

The fabrication of silicon-based anodes with nanoscale structuring improves the energy density and cycle life of Li-ion batteries. Silicon (Si) nanowires (NW) or nanoparticles (NP) synthesized directly on the current collector represent a viable alternative to conventional graphite anodes. However, the operating potentials of these electrodes fall below the electrochemical stability window of all electrolytes used in […]
