Interfacial synergy of pre-lithiation silicon anodes and GNP/MnO2/S cathodes for lithium polysulfides in silicon–sulfur batteries studied via DFT

Abstract

This study presents a straightforward approach for designing silicon/graphene nanoplates as an anode material using a one-step hydrothermal process. Additionally, to reduce the shuttle effect, the GNP/MnO2/S cathode is investigated.
