Summary: Silicon anodes have been extensively studied as a potential alternative to graphite ones for Li-ion batteries, but their commercial application is limited by poor structural and interfacial stability. Designing robust conductive binder networks is a key strategy to fully exploit the capacity potential of Si-based anodes. This review summarizes existing binders for Si anodes, focusing on three-dimensional and multifunctional polymeric binders with excellent electrical conductivity, flexibility, and adhesion, which are expected to accelerate the practical application of silicon anodes. Suggestions for future development of Si anodic binders are also provided.

Summary: Vinylene carbonate (VC) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) are used as functional agents to mimic the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) chemistry of silicon. Covalent surface functionalization of silicon particles was achieved through ball-milling with sacrificial VC and PEO. The additives are strongly bound to silicon, resulting in improved stability and dispersion of the functionalized particles. Raman mapping and capacity measurements show that VC-milled silicon exhibits higher capacity and improved electrode processing compared to neat silicon.

Summary: In this study, the effect of slurry pH on the lithiation mechanism of silicon nanoparticle anodes in lithium-ion batteries was investigated using a combination of NMR, DFT, and electrochemical cycling. The results showed that the lithiation mechanisms varied depending on the pH. An acidic slurry promoted the lithiation of silicon nanoparticles, while a basic slurry oxidized the nanoparticles to form a SiO/SiO2 shell that needed to be cracked before Si lithiation. The reaction of Li+ and SiO/SiO2 to form lithium silicates was the dominant process in a basic slurry, resulting in greater capacity loss compared to an acidic slurry.

Summary: The study synthesized cathode active materials with varying Al content and examined the effects on physicochemical, thermal, and electrochemical properties. Results showed that increased Al content in the materials led to irregular particle shape and distribution, reduced initial charge/discharge capacity and cyclability, but improved rate capability. Residual Al was found to adversely affect capacity and cyclability, suggesting that trace amounts of Al in the materials can be tolerated.

Summary: This article presents the results of a systematic study on the electrochemical performance and mechanical changes in two types of commercial batteries with different anode chemistry. The study reveals that the swelling of anode layers in batteries with silicon-based components causes deformations in the jelly roll structure, but the presence of a small percentage of silicon does not significantly impact the cycling performance of the cells within the relevant state-of-health range for electric vehicles (EVs). The research suggests that there is room for improving the cell capacities by increasing the silicon loading in composite anodes to meet the increasing demands on EVs.

Summary: By coupling electrochemical testing to operando synchrotron based X-ray absorption and powder diffraction experiments, blended positive electrodes consisting of LiMn2O4 spinel (LMO) and layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC) were studied to understand their redox mechanism. It was found that blending NMC with LMO can enhance energy density at high rates, with the blend containing 25% LMO showing the best performance. Testing with a special electrochemical setup revealed that the effective current load on each blend component can vary significantly from the nominal rate and also changes with SoC. Operando studies allowed monitoring of the oxidation state evolution and changes in crystal structure, in line with the expected behavior of individual components considering their electrochemical current loads.
