Large-Scale Synthesis of Interconnected Si/SiOx Nanowire Anodes for Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries

Down to the wire: Three-dimensional interconnected Si-based nanowires are produced through the combination of thermal decomposition of SiO and a metal-catalyzed nanowire growth process. This low-cost and scalable approach provides a promising candidate for high-capacity anodes in lithium-ion batteries.close2
