Thin-film silicon anodes amorphous

Baranchugov V, Markevich E, Poliak E, Salitra G, Aurbach D. Amorphous silicon thin films as a high capacity anodes for Li-ion batteries in ionic liquid electrolytes. Electrochem Commun 2007 9 796-800. 

Amorphous silicon demonstrates different features than those of crystalline silicon when subjected to lithiation at room temperature. 8tudies on an amorphous silicon thin-film anode prepared by magnetron sputtering and an amorphous silicon anode obtained through chemical delithiation of Lii2Si7 phase show two distinctive.
