| Abstract | New battery materials and designs are needed to support fast battery charging - in an automobile, for example. Composites composed of silicon and graphite are a next-generation anode material that shows promise in lithium-ion batteries and in potassium-ion batteries. However, these materials suffer from issues with both mechanical and electrochemical degradation, which is exacerbated during fast charging, leading to poor battery life and safety concerns.
