Stanford Researchers Demonstrate a New Nanostructured Lithium Sulfide/Silicon Rechargeable Battery System with High Specific Energy

Green Car Congress

A great deal of research has gone into developing silicon as an anode material, including earlier work by Cui and his colleagues, due to its high theoretical charge capacity (4,200 mAh g -1 —more than 10 times that of graphite anodes and much larger than various nitride and oxide materials) and low discharge potential.
