Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Tetrel Clathrates for Li-ion Batteries: Electrochemistry, Structure and Applications

Current Li-ion battery technologies are limited by the low capacities of theelectrode materials and require developments to meet stringent performance demands for
future energy storage devices. Electrode materials that alloy with Li, such as Si, are one
of the most promising alternatives for Li-ion battery anodes due to their high capacities.
