Abstract
Next-generation Li-ion battery technology awaits materials that not only store more electrochemical energy at finite rates but also exhibit superior control over side reactions and better thermal stability. Herein, we hypothesize that designing an appropriate particle morphology can provide a well-balanced set of physicochemical interactions. Given the anode-centric nature of primary degradation modes, we investigate three different carbon particles
