Carbon nanotubes-enhanced lithium storage capacity of recovered silicon/carbon anodes produced from solar-grade silicon kerf scrap

Recovered solar-grade silicon kerf scrap is touted as an ideal silicon source for Si-based anodes in advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) whose development is always troubled by the volume expansion and low conductivity. Here, an effective approach for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) enhanced recovered silicon/carbon anodes encapsulated by polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-derived carbon coating (Si/[email protected]) is described. The Si/[email...
