The global demand for energy has increased enormously as a consequence of
technological and economic advances. Instantaneous delivery of energy is available, but it …

One of the major issues associated with Li-ion batteries is the stress development in
electrode materials. Such stresses arise primarily from dimensional changes …

Since the launch of lithium-ion batteries, elements (such as silicon, tin, or aluminum) that can
be alloyed with lithium have been expected as anode materials, owing to larger capacity …

Despite the high theoretical capacity of Si anodes, the electrochemical performance of Si
anodes is hampered by severe volume changes during lithiation and delithiation, leading to …

We synthesized freestanding bulk three-dimensional nanoporous Si using dealloying in a
metallic melt, a top-down process. Using this nanoporous Si, we fabricated negative …

On the basis of the similarity between spinel and rocksalt structures, it is shown that some
spinel oxides (eg, MgCo2O4, etc) can be cathode materials for Mg rechargeable batteries …

Black phosphorus with a superior theoretical capacity (2596 mAh g− 1) and high
conductivity is regarded as one of the powerful candidates for lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode …

For the first time nanoporous germanium (np-Ge) was prepared by chemical dealloying
allowing for mass production of electrodes for LiBs. Nanoporous structure can accommodate …

The spinel-to-rocksalt transition with Mg insertion into spinel oxides upon discharge can be
utilized as a cathode reaction for magnesium rechargeable batteries. However, the …

Monodisperse Sn spherical nanocrystals of 10.0±0.2 nm were prepared in dispersible
colloidal form. They were used as a model platform to study the impact of size on the …
