The challenge and directions for future research is proposed. Silicon (Si) is one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation of lithium-ion battery (LIB) due to its high specific capacity, low lithiation potential, and natural abundance.
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. , , , , .
1. Introduction Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely investigated as energy storage solutions for intermittent energy sources (e.g., wind and sun) and as the main power source for mobile technologies such as computers, communication devices, consumer electronics, and electric vehicles [, , ].
Silicon and its oxides remain the most promising and alternative anode materials for increasing the energy density of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical specific capacity and suitable operating voltage.
Furthermore, the scalability of Li-Si production enhances its incorporation into current battery manufacturing processes, thus easing the shift towards advanced lithium-ion batteries with improved pre-lithiation capabilities. Considering the nature of Li-Si as lithiated Si, it can function both as the electrode and the pre-lithiation agent.
Furthermore, the intrinsic reactivity of specific alloying materials, such as aluminum, towards electrolyte components can exacerbate SEI instability and compromise the safety of the cell , , . The resolution of these issues is vital for the effective integration of Li-alloy anodes in advanced lithium-ion battery systems.
