A method for making a lithium-ion battery includes constructing a precursor cell having an anode, a cathode and a solid-state electrolyte (SSE). The anode includes a silicon-containing lithium storage layer deposited onto an anode current collector by a CV...

A lithium-ion battery cell includes an anode having a plurality of spaced apart lithium storage layer segments in electrical contact with the anode current collector, wherein the lithium storage layer segments include at least 40 atomic % silicon, tin, ger...
