title: Reversible high-capacity Si nanocomposite anodes for lithium-ion batteries enabled by molecular layer deposition.
abstract: The molecular-layer deposition of a flexible coating onto Si electrodes produces high-capacity Si nanocomposite anodes. Using a reaction cascade based on inorganic trimethylaluminum and organic glycerol precursors, conventional nano-Si electrodes undergo surface modifications, resulting in anodes that can be cycled over 100 times with capacities of nearly 900 mA h g(-1) and Coulombic efficiencies in excess of 99%.
