Perspective—Enhancing Active Anode Material Performance for Lithium-Ion Batteries via Manipulation of Interfacial Chemistry

Over the past decade, conversion-type anodes have been viewed as an attractive frontrunner for use in the next-generation of high-capacity battery materials. However, many technological limitations exist in the stability and long-term reliability of these anodes for the commercialization of these electrodes. This perspective studies how interfacial interactions between different components of the electrode can help elucidate the key physical and chemical properties needed for the development of high-capacity materials for battery applications.
