Abstract

Silicon is one of the most common elements on Earth and is widely used in microelectronics. Also, it is well known as the most promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity. However, silicon-based anodes are far from successful implementation because of the inherent disadvantages, such as mechanical degradation, absence of electric conductivity, and short cycling life. A comprehensive review of the lithium-ion battery anodes based on silicon is presented and discussed in terms of successful approaches leading to more durable silicon-based nanocomposite architectures that can potentially overcome the existing limitations of the silicon-based anodes.
