"enhanced capacity... functionalization/ colloidal dispersion facilitating incorporation of nitrogen onto carbon nanotube (graphene encapsulated) surface, accelerating lithium-ion movement to silicon, enhancing charging speed/ stability across numerous charge/discharge cycles... maintains >82% performance after 100 charge/discharge cycles, compared to only 30% for conventional, eliminating need for conventional conductive additives (carbon black)... solid-state batteries, where lithium diffusion speed critical"
