- This paper details the scalable growth and improved performance of Si nanowire-Sn structures in binder free Li-ion battery electrodes. These achieved significant increase in lifetime over Silicon anodes, and a capacity limit 4 times that of current commercial graphite anodes. These nanowires were also grown on flexible carbon current collectors, enabling application and improvement in flexible batteries and wearable energy storage, and also demonstrating their potential in emerging 3D electrode development. This paper was instrumental in securing a HVM Catapult research fellowship between University of Warwick and Leicester DeMontford for Prof. Shashi Paul.
