Three-dimensional (3D) conductive network electrodes based on commercial nickel foam current collector supported Si nanowires (SiNWs) with carbon coating are evaluated as lithium-ion battery anodes. The Ni foam network current collector achieves a high silicon loading up to 5 mg/cm2, without using a...
