Abstract
for 300 cycles. The Coulomb efficiency was maintained at 98% except for the first cycle. After long cycling, the electrode expansion was 16%, which was much lower than those of silicon based materials. Therefore, this article provides a cheap, simple, and commercially valuable anode material for lithium batteries.
