Yuto Katsuyama Publishes in Small on Rapid Si/Graphene Composite Fabrication

Yuto Katsuyama’s work, “A Rapid, Scalable Laser-Scribing Process to Prepare Si/Graphene Composites for Lithium-Ion Batteries,” has been published in Small. This study introduces a one-step laser-scribing method—completed in about three minutes and using just ≈5 W under air—to prepare Si/laser-scribed graphene (LSG) composites. Both Si nanoparticles and Si microparticles were employed, demonstrating the method’s versatility.
