ALUMINUM COATED ON METAL NiSix NANOWIRES WORKS AS AN ANODE MATERIAL FOR LITHIUM BATTERY

Abstract

Aluminum (Al) is quite cheap, friendly with people and environment. Al combines with lithium (Li) ions in many different alloys such as AlLi, Al₂Li₃, Al₄Li₉… Every alloy has a different value of Li ion capacity, for Al₄Li₉ the capacity can reach 2235 mAh/g. Based on this background Al is a very big potential material for researching and development in battery application. In this manuscript, we introduce a new anode structure for Li battery based on the combination between Al and metal NiSi_x nanowires under core-shell structure.
