Siloxene as promising silicon intercalation anode for Li-, Na- and K-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers in France have shown the versatility of siloxene, a 2D silicon structure (Si 6 O 3 H 6 ), as an anode material for Li-, Na- and K-ion batteries. In a paper in the Journal of Power Sources , the researchers report that lamellar siloxene obtained from the topotactic deintercalation of Ca from CaSi 2 delivered reversible capacities of 2300, 311 and 203 mAh/g for Li, Na and K, respectively, with good capacity retention and coulombic efficiency for Li and Na.
