High capacity silicon anodes enabled by MXene viscous aqueous ink

Developing thick electrodes could enable high-energy-density Li-ion batteries, however, above a critical thickness, the mass transport issues become dominating. Here the authors show that MXene can serve as a conductive binder leading to thick silicon anodes (up to 450 µm) with high areal capacity....
