Additional information
Carbon is the only commercialized material today as negative electrode in LiBs. However, due to its limited Li storage capability, carbon will never allow to develop the energy density required for transportation and load-levelling. We provided one original solution: the use of silicon nanoparticles coated with biomass derived carbon. The carbon layer prevents volume expansion during charge - discharge, while silicon allows the high energy density. This work was one of the first reports on Si@C composites for LIBs. It won the 1-st prize for novelty at 'International Carbon 2008' in Japan and led to a patent and collaboration with BASF.
