Transforming silicon slag into high‐capacity anode material for lithium‐ion batteries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The conception of cheaper and greener electrode materials is critical for lithium (Li)‐ion battery manufacturers. In this study, a by‐product of the carbothermic reduction of SiO 2 to Si, containing 65 wt% Si, 31 wt% SiC, and 4 wt% C, is evaluated as raw material for the production of high‐capacity anodes for Li‐ion batteries. After 20 h of high‐energy ball milling, C is fully converted to SiC and a micrometric powder ( D 50 ∼1 μm) is obtained in which submicrometric SiC inclusions are embedded in a nanocrystalline/amorphous Si matrix. This material is able to maintain a capacity >1000 mAh g −1 (>3 mAh cm −2 ) over 100 cycles. No crystalline Li 15 Si 4 phase is formed upon cycling as shown from the differential dQ / dV curves. The good mechanical resiliency of the electrode is evidenced by monitoring its morphological changes from sequential focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy analyses. However, a progressive and irreversible increase in the electrode mass and thickness is observed over cycling (reaching 125% and 60% after 200 cycles, respectively), which is mainly attributed to the accumulation of solid electrolyte interphase products in the electrode.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
