Application of carbon and silicon nanomaterials in lithium ion battery anode

Abstract

The world is in an era of increasing energy demand to meet the development needs of modern society. Both nanotechnology and lithium-ion battery technology play an important role in helping the world meet the growing challenges of energy and environmental problems. In this paper, through consulting relevant materials and referring to relevant papers, the influence and progress of nanostructured electrode materials on the design, synthesis and electrochemical performance of Li-ion battery anode materials are comprehensively introduced. Nanomaterials exhibit unique properties that present intriguing prospects for their use in various sectors. Traditional anodes in LIBs suffer from limited charge capacity, poor cycle life. By reducing the size to nanoscale, these structures can better accommodate the volume changes, hence improving durability and charge capacity. Despite current challenges in terms of cost and scalability, the progress in this field suggests the potential for future advancements in high-performance LIBs with the integration of nanostructured anodes.
