SILICON NANOSTRUCTURES FOR HIGH CAPACITY ANODES IN LITHIUM ION BATTERIES

In this study we looked at several different silicon nanostructures grown for the purpose of optimizing anodes for lithium ion batteries. We primarily focused on two distinct types of structures, nanospirals, and Rugate structures. The samples were designed to have the mechanical robustness to endur...
