Cover Story (view full-size image): Silicon-based and lithium metal anodes are regarded as the candidates of next-generation electrode materials for Li-ion and metallic lithium batteries. However, the unstable interfacial reactions between the anode and electrolyte continuously consume lithium ions, resulting in serious capacity degradation. Severe anode volume change also leads to structural decay during extended cycles. To tackle the aforementioned drawbacks, lithium silicates were adopted to serve as the stabilizer in anodes. This review introduces the properties and mechanisms of lithium silicates in anodes, showing their application potential in high-energy-density batteries. View this paper.
