Silicon-carbon anodes for solid‑state batteries: Challenges, optimization strategies, and future perspectives
Developing safe, high‑energy‑density energy storage systems is a central goal in electrochemistry. Silicon (Si) delivers a high theoretical specific capacity of 4200 mAh g-1, yet it suffers from severe volume expansion and interfacial degradation. Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) can exert mechanical confinement and...
