Metal–Organic?Framework?Derived Nanostructures as Multifaceted Electrodes in Metal–Sulfur Batteries

Fracture and debonding in lithium-ion batteries with electrodes of hollow core-shell nanostructures

In a novel design of lithium-ion batteries, hollow electrode particles coated with stiff shells are used to mitigate mechanical and chemical degradation. In particular, silicon anodes of such coreeshell nanostructures have been cycled thousands of times with little capacity fading. To reduce weight and to facilitate lithium diffusion, the shell should be thin. However, to avert fracture and deb...

Electrode Nanostructures in Lithium‐Based Batteries

Lithium-based batteries possessing energy densities much higher than those of the conventional batteries belong to the most promising class of future energy devices. However, there are some fundamental issues related to their electrodes which are big roadblocks in their applications to electric vehicles (EVs). Nanochemistry has advantageous roles to overcome these problems by defining new nanos...
