Recent progress in Si/Ti

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major global health issue, causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis and continuous monitoring of physiological signals are crucial for managing cardiovascular diseases, necessitating the development of lightweight and cost-effective wearable devices. These devices should incorporate portable energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To enhance the durability and consistency of the monitoring systems, there is a need to develop LIBs with high energy density. Silicon-based materials hold great promise for future LIBs anodes due to their high theoretical capacity and cost-efficiency. Despite their potential, silicon-based materials encounter challenges like substantial volume fluctuations and sluggish kinetics. Transition metal carbide, MXene, features a two-dimensional structure, offering advantages in silicon-based anode materials. This review initially presents the potential of silicon-based anodes and then addresses their challenges. Subsequently, the advantages of MXene are systematically reviewed, including unique structure, abundant surface functional groups, excellent electrical conductivity, and excellent ion transport performance. Next, the detailed discussion covers recent advancements in Si/Ti
