Summary: In theory, red P is a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries, but its electrochemical performance is challenged by P pulverization. Composites of P and C, especially with carbon nanotubes as additives, dramatically improve the stability of the anode. The adherence of the C/P composite to the current collector is ensured by the mechanical elasticity and superior P uptake of nanotubes.

Summary: This study compares the electrochemical performance of commercial single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with red phosphorus deposited on the outer surface and/or encapsulated in internal channels for lithium-ion batteries. Encapsulated phosphorus demonstrates higher reaction rates and slight loss of initial capacity compared to external phosphorus. The support of SWCNTs and tubular space contribute to the stable operation and formation of chain phosphorus structures.

Summary: The current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are insufficient to meet the growing demands of the battery industry, leading to extensive research on new anode materials. Ni-based anode materials have been widely explored due to their higher theoretical capacity, longer cycle life, and environmental friendliness. This review focuses on the different morphologies of NiO-based materials and their electrochemical properties. It has been found that the performance of NiO-based anodes for LIBs is influenced by factors such as morphology, crystallinity, particle size, surface area, and porosity. Carbon-supported and metal oxide doped composites of NiO structures exhibit higher specific capacities compared to pure NiO, but the issue of capacity drainages needs to be further investigated.

Summary: This study explores the use of conducting polymers as both a conductive agent and binder in silicon anodes. By utilizing polyaniline (PANI) as a three-dimensional bridge, it is possible to maintain constant electric connectivity with silicon, even during long-term cycling. The research also demonstrates the improvement of Li-ion diffusion kinetics and cycling properties through low-temperature sintering of double-protected silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) without damaging the PANI conductive skeleton. The novel composite material, Si@C/PANI-CNT, exhibits excellent discharge capacity and stability over multiple cycles.

Summary: The study introduces alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles/etched carbon nanotubes (ECNT) composites synthesized via oxidative etching of acid-functionalized CNT as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The incorporation of ECNT matrix effectively mitigates the low conductivity and capacity fading issues associated with alpha-Fe2O3, providing better accessibility of the electrolyte and higher active sites for Li+ ion interactions. The synergistic effect of alpha-Fe2O3 and ECNT network leads to excellent rate capability, high capacity, and stability of the anode.
