Stabilized lithium metal powder (SLMP) has been applied during battery assembly to effectively prelithiate high capacity (1500-2500 mAh/g) silicon-carbon nanotube (Si-CNT) anodes, eliminating the 20-40% first cycle irreversible capacity loss. Pressure-activation of SLMP is shown to enhance prelithiation and enable capacity matching between Si-CNT anodes and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) cathodes in full batteries with minimal added mass. The prelithiation approach enables high energy density NCA/Si-CNT batteries achieving >1000 cycles at 20% depth-of-discharge.

The commercial application of silicon-carbon microparticles (Si/C) as anode materials in advanced high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been hindered by suboptimal interfacial stability and insufficient cycling durability, which are primarily attributed to the detrimental stress generated during the lithiation and delithiation processes. In this study, a polymeric binder (PTR) was developed for Si/C anodes in lithium-ion batteries. The PTR binder was fabricated by integrating rigid poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with flexible carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (XSBR) through cross-linking with tannic acid (TA), thereby forming a stable molecular architecture.

Although a high stack pressure (≥50 MPa) enhances solid-solid contacts in solid-state batteries (SSBs), it poses impracticality for commercialization. This work proposes a self-pressure silicon (Si)-carbon composite anode that enables stable operation under reduced external pressure (≤2 MPa). The self-pressure anode features a prestress structure that can effectively alleviate the internal and external stress simultaneously, which is fabricated with ionic-conductive poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/lithium salt-coated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) being compressed by shrinking graphene hydrogel.

Macro-assembled silicon-based films can be taken into account as a possible anode material for the lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in portable electronics. However, most previously proposed preparation strategies are labor-intensive, intricate, and not appropriate for large-scale manufacturing. Herein, a multifunctional flexible silicon/carbon nanotube/reduced graphene oxide (Si/CNT/rGO) film was fabricated by one-step coating method based on the lyotropic nematic liquid crystals of graphene oxide (GO).

The demand for dental implants has increased, establishing them as the standard of care for replacing missing teeth. Several factors contribute to the success or failure of an implant post-placement. Modifications to implant surfaces can enhance the biological interactions between bone cells and the implant, promoting better outcomes.
