Nanonet Component for Lithium-ion Storage

Caption

Frame (a) shows a schematic of the Nanonet, a lattice structure of titanium disilicide (TiSi2) coated with silicon (Si) particles to form the active component for Lithium-ion storage. A microscopic view (b) of the silicon coating on the Nanonets. The crystallinity (c) of the Nanonet core and the Si coating. The crystallinity of TiSi2 and Si (highlighted by the dotted red line) is shown in a lattice-resolved image (d) from transmission electron microscopy.
