[Research News] Porous Silicon Oxide Electrodes: A Breakthrough Towards Sustainable Energy Storage

Storing excess energy produced from renewable sources is essential to make the most out of them, but conventional lithium-ion batteries significantly degrade over time. In this study, researchers developed a porous silicon oxide electrode suitable for all-solid-state batteries, addressing a long-standing problem related to their degradation.※

Professor Takayuki Doi, Faculty of Science and Engineering, and his colleagues investigate a promising strategy for fixing durability issues in all-solid-state batteries.
All-solid-state batteries are safer and more durable alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Still, the cracking and detaching of silicon-based electrodes due to expansion and contraction limits their potential. In a recent study, Doi and his team developed porous silicon oxide electrodes to address this issue. The pores helped reduce the stress at the electrode-electrolyte interface, vastly improving performance, durability, and capacity. These findings bring us closer to long-lasting all-solid-state batteries for renewable energy and electric vehicles.
