TL;DR: Reduced graphene oxides loaded with tin-antimony alloy (RGO-SnSb) nanocomposites were synthesized through a hydrothermal reaction and the subsequent thermal reduction treatments to improve the electrode integrity mechanically and electronically.

TL;DR: In this article, the capacity decay was attributed to the manganese deposition on the graphite electrode accelerating the electrolyte decomposition, and they found that the Al2O3 coating on the negative electrode was counter-intuitively more beneficial and efficient in preventing the Mn deposition and achieving excellent capacity retention.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on Si is examined in detail using several in situ techniques, and the results show that employing different conditions during the first lithiation cycle produces SEI films with substantially different properties.

TL;DR: These findings are an essential first step toward an in-depth understanding of the role of lithiation on the a-Si/Cu interface, which may contribute in the development of quantitative electrochemical mechanical models and the design of nonfracture-and-always-connected heterogeneous nanostructured Si electrodes.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of the interfacial kinetics of a model lithium ion battery electrode system, silicon electrodes with alumina coatings by atomic layer deposition (ALD), is provided.
