Developing high energy density and fast charge/discharge batteries requires new coatings strategies to overcome interfacial impedances between battery cell components. Silicon is a promising anode material for next-generation batteries due to its high volumetric capacity of 2190 mAhl-1 and low discharge potential of ~ 0.3 V vs Li/Li+. In this paper, we report the fabrication, characterisation and electrochemical performance of nano Si electrodes coated with titanicone (TiGL) using a combination of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD). The optimised coated electrode delivers a capacity of 1200 mAhg−1 at 1C for 350 cycles with a capacity retention of 93 % and a high C-rate performance of 150 mAhg−1 at 20C. The improved discharge capacity, efficiencies, rate capability and electrochemical stability are related to enhanced lithium kinetics, stable SEI formation, and better structural integrity of the TiGL coated electrode compared to bare silicon. The use of titanicone as an interface modifier is discussed in the frame of high capacity electrode materials and solid state batteries.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
