First principles study of silicon-based nanomaterials for lithium ion battery anodes

Silicon (Si)-based materials have recently emerged as a promising candidate for anodes in lithium-ion batteries because they exhibit much higher energy-storage capacities than the conventional graphite anode. However, the practical use of Si is hampered by its poor cycleability; during lithiation, S...
