“Non-filling” carbon-coated porous silicon microparticles might be used to make an ultrahigh performance lithium-ion battery anode material, according to new experiments by researchers at Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California. An electrode fabricated from the microparticles has a high reversible specific capacity of around 1500 mAh/g over 1000 cycles thanks to the fact that the particles prevent silicon from expanding during lithiation/delithiation…..
