A solid-state silicon battery or silicon-anode all-solid-state battery is a type of rechargeable lithium-ion battery consisting of a solid electrolyte, solid cathode, and silicon-based solid anode. In solid-state silicon batteries, lithium ions travel through a solid electrolyte from a positive cathode to a negative silicon anode.
Lithium–silicon batteries are lithium-ion batteries that employ a silicon -based anode, and lithium ions as the charge carriers. Silicon based materials, generally, have a much larger specific capacity, for example, 3600 mAh/g for pristine silicon.
Lithium-silicon batteries also include cell configurations where silicon is in compounds that may, at low voltage, store lithium by a displacement reaction, including silicon oxycarbide, silicon monoxide or silicon nitride. The first laboratory experiments with lithium-silicon materials took place in the early to mid 1970s.
A long-standing goal for anode innovation with lithium batteries has been to leverage silicon as an active material inside of the anode, creating a lithium-silicon battery. Lithium-silicon batteries have the potential to hold huge amounts of lithium ions due to silicon’s 10x higher capacity than graphite.
The development of all-solid-state Li–S batteries has been greatly impeded by dendrite growth and dendrite penetration, which are both related to the Li metal anode. As a compromised alternative, we report lithium silicide (Li x Si) as a dendrite-free and high-capacity anode with Li source.
Additionally, researchers are actively exploring a range of novel materials, including silicon (Si), tin oxide (SnO₂), iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), copper oxide (CuO), and cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄), which are being specifically developed as potential anode materials for lithium-ion batteries with high energy density. , , , , .
