Besides, tungsten/molybdenum-based 2D materials also play an important role in Li–S batteries. A review paper reports the progress of applications of transition metal sulfides (including WS 2, MoS 2 and so on) in the cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries (Gong et al.).
In 2010, Liang et al. [ 43] applied MoS 2 to magnesium-ion battery (MIBs), which opens a favorable way for involving other molybdenum-based compounds in the accommodation of monovalent ions (Na+) and multivalent ions (Zn 2+ and Al 3+) for aqueous batteries.

The strategic methods to address the electrochemical property issues (poor conductivity, slow kinetics, electrode dissolution, and narrow working window) of molybdenum-based materials are highlighted, including the introduction of oxygen/sulfur vacancy, interlayer spacing tuning, a substrate coating, and electrolyte formulation, as shown in Fig. 3.
It is evident that in the role of the anode, MoS 2 and MoSe 2 found enormous applications in alkali metal ion batteries such as LIB, SIB and KIB. The studies also point out that TMD anodes are still under investigation for MIB, ZIB, etc. The computational studies validate the future of TMD anodes in other batteries.
The work proposed by Chen et al. presented the synthesis and application of MoS 2 /WS 2 composite containing nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) (MWG) as the anode for LIB’s . The poor electronic conductivity of MoS 2 adversely affects the rate performance of batteries.

Lithium–silicon batteries are that employ a -based , and ions as the charge carriers. Silicon based materials, generally, have a much larger specific capacity, for example, 3600 mAh/g for pristine silicon. The standard anode material is limited to a maximum theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g for the fully lithiated state LiC6.

Silicon and lithium-ion batteries differ significantly in their construction, performance, and potential applications. Silicon anodes offer higher energy density and capacity compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries that utilize graphite. However, challenges like volume expansion during charging impact their practicality.
Silicon-carbon batteries use a nanostructured silicon-carbon composite anode while lithium-ion batteries typically use a graphite carbon anode. The silicon-carbon anode can store over 10x more lithium ions enabling higher energy density. However, silicon expands dramatically during charging which led to mechanical failures early on.

A silicon-carbon battery is a type of lithium-ion battery that uses a silicon-carbon anode instead of the typical graphite anode. The key difference lies in the anode material, which enables higher energy density.
This means that silicon-based Li-ion battery anodes could store ten times as much charge in each volume than graphite anodes. Silicon-based materials also generally have a much larger specific capacity. For instance, pristine silicon has a capacity of 3600 mAh/g while graphite is limited to a maximum theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g.
Silicon can bind four lithium ions per silicon atom. This means that silicon-based Li-ion battery anodes could store ten times as much charge in each volume than graphite anodes. Silicon-based materials also generally have a much larger specific capacity.

A solid-state silicon battery or silicon-anode all-solid-state battery is a type of rechargeable consisting of a , solid , and silicon-based solid . In solid-state silicon batteries, lithium ions travel through a solid from a positive cathode to a negative silicon anode. While silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries have been studied, they were largely dismissed as infeasible due to general incompatibility with liquid electrolytes. Devel. [pdf]

When pushing the limit of cell energy, silicon-based anode materials have great potential because of their high capacity and rate capability. Silicon-based anode materials for Li ion batteries may be broadly classified into three categories: silicon oxides (SiO), silicon–carbon composites and silicon-based alloys.
