title: Amorphous silicon honeycombs as a binder/carbon-free, thin-film Li-ion battery anode.
abstract: Amorphous silicon thin films with honeycombed structures have been prepared using a self-assembled monolayer of polystyrene spheres as the template. The as-prepared thin films may serve as a good anode candidate for thin film Li-ion batteries. This approach can be extended to a wide range of coating materials and substrates with controlled periodic structures.
