Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been dedicated to the development of high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices. The development of lithium- and sodium-ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs) with high energy densities is urgently needed to meet the growing demands for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large-scale smart grids. Anode materials with high theoretical capacities that are based on alloying storage mechanisms are at the forefront of research geared towards high-energy-density LIBs or SIBs. However, they often suffer from severe pulverization and rapid capacity decay due to their huge volume change upon cycling. So far, a wide variety of advanced materials and electrode structures are developed to improve the long-term cyclability of alloying-type materials. This review provides fundamentals of anti-pulverization and cutting-edge concepts that aim to achieve high-performance alloying anodes for LIBs/SIBs from the viewpoint of architectural engineering. The recent progress on the effective strategies of nanostructuring, incorporation of carbon, intermetallics design, and binder engineering is systematically summarized. After that, the relationship between architectural design and electrochemical performance as well as the related charge-storage mechanisms is discussed. Finally, challenges and perspectives of alloying-type anode materials for further development in LIB/SIB applications are proposed.

Abstract
The development of integrated systems that mimic the multi-stage stiffness change of marine animals such as the sea cucumber requires the design of molecularly tailored structures. Herein, we used an integrated biomimicry design to fabricate a sea cucumber mimic using sidechain polypseudorotaxanes with tunable nano-to-macroscale properties. A series of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based sidechain copolymers were synthesized to form sidechain polypseudorotaxanes with α-cyclodextrins (α-CDs). By tailoring the copolymers' molecular weights and their PEG grafting densities, we rationally tuned the sizes of the formed polypseudorotaxanes crystalline domain and the physical crosslinking density of the hydrogels, which facilitated 3D printing and the mechanical adaptability to these hydrogels. After 3D printing and photo-crosslinking, the obtained hydrogels exhibited large tensile strain and broad elastic-to-plastic variations upon α-CD (de)threading. These discoveries enabled a successful fabrication of a sea cucumber mimic, demonstrating multi-stage stiffness changes.

Abstract
Silicon (Si)-based material is a promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we report the fabrication of a silicon oxide-carbon (SiOx/C) nanocomposite through the reaction between silicon particles with fresh surface and H2O in a mild hydrothermal condition, as well as conducting carbon coating synchronously. We found that controllable oxidation could be realized for Si particles to produce uniform SiOx after the removal of the native passivation layer. The uniform oxidation and conductive coating offered the as-fabricated SiOx/C composite good stability at both particle and electrode level over electrochemical cycling. The as-fabricated SiOx/C composite delivered a high reversible capacity of 1133 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 with 89.1% capacity retention after 200 cycles. With 15 wt % SiOx/C composite, graphite-SiOx/C hybrid electrode displayed a high reversible specific capacity of 496 mAh g-1 and stable electrochemical cycling with a capacity retention of 90.1% for 100 cycles.

Abstract
Si has attracted considerable interest as a promising anode material for next-generation Li-ion batteries owing to its outstanding specific capacity. However, the commercialization of Si anodes has been consistently limited by severe instabilities originating from their significant volume change (approximately 300%) during the charge-discharge process. Herein, we introduce an ultrafast processing strategy of controlled multi-pulse flash irradiation for stabilizing the Si anode by modifying its physical properties in a spatially stratified manner. We first provide a comprehensive characterization of the interactions between the anode materials and the flash irradiation, such as the condensation and carbonization of binders, sintering, and surface oxidation of the Si particles under various irradiation conditions (e.g., flash intensity and irradiation period). Then, we suggest an effective route for achieving superior physical properties for Si anodes, such as robust mechanical stability, high electrical conductivity, and fast electrolyte absorption, via precise adjustment of the flash irradiation. Finally, we demonstrate flash-irradiated Si anodes that exhibit improved cycling stability and rate capability without requiring costly synthetic functional binders or delicately designed nanomaterials. This work proposes a cost-effective technique for enhancing the performance of battery electrodes by substituting conventional long-term thermal treatment with ultrafast flash irradiation.

Abstract
This study reports the concept of an "adaptive binder" to address the silicon anode challenge in Li-ion batteries. Binders exhibit adaptable capabilities upon gradual changes in the microenvironments surrounding silicon particles during anodic expansion-shrinkage cycles. Long, flexible binder chains are repositioned and reoriented upon the gradual formation of Si-micro-environments (Si-μ-env) during the early battery cycles. At this stage, the chemical interactions between the polymeric binders are reversible hydrogen bonds. As the Si-μ-env become stably set by repeated battery cycles, the chemical interactions exhibit reversible-to-irreversible transitions by the formation of covalent linkages between the binder polymers at the later stage of cycles. The binder polymer showing the aforementioned adaptive properties is hyaluronic acid, which has never been explored as a silicon-anode binder material, onto which the plant-inspired adhesive phenolic moiety, gallol (1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene), is conjugated (HA-GA) for stable adhesion to the surfaces of silicon particles. It is confirmed that the HA-GA binder can maintain a charge capacity that is approximately 3.3 times higher (1153 mAh g-1 ) than that of the nonconjugated HA binder (347 mAh g-1 ) after 600 cycles even at a rapid charge/discharge rate of 1 C (3500 mA g-1 ), indicating that adaptive properties are an important factor to consider in designing silicon-anode binders.

Abstract
The increasing demand for higher-energy-density batteries driven by advancements in electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and portable electronic devices necessitates the development of alternative anode materials with a specific capacity beyond that of traditional graphite anodes. Here, the state-of-the-art developments made in the rational design of Si-based electrodes and their progression toward practical application are presented. First, a comprehensive overview of fundamental electrochemistry and selected critical challenges is given, including their large volume expansion, unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) growth, low initial Coulombic efficiency, low areal capacity, and safety issues. Second, the principles of potential solutions including nanoarchitectured construction, surface/interface engineering, novel binder and electrolyte design, and designing the whole electrode for stability are discussed in detail. Third, applications for Si-based anodes beyond LIBs are highlighted, specifically noting their promise in configurations of Li-S batteries and all-solid-state batteries. Fourth, the electrochemical reaction process, structural evolution, and degradation mechanisms are systematically investigated by advanced in situ and operando characterizations. Finally, the future trends and perspectives with an emphasis on commercialization of Si-based electrodes are provided. Si-based anode materials will be key in helping keep up with the demands for higher energy density in the coming decades.

Abstract
The development of Si-based lithium-ion batteries is restricted by the large volume expansion of Si materials and the unstable solid electrolyte interface film. Herein, a novel Si capsule with in situ developed polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) shell is prepared via microemulsion polymerization, in which PMMA has high lithium conductivity, high elasticity, certain viscosity in electrolytes, as well as good electrolyte retention ability. Taking advantage of the microcapsule structure with the PMMA capsid, the novel Si capsule anode retains 1.2 mA h/cm2 at a current density of 2 A/g after 200 electrochemical cycles and delivers higher than 66% of its initial capacity at 42 A/g.

Abstract
Large-volume-expansion-induced material pulverization severely limits the electrochemical performance of high-capacity red phosphorus (RP) in alkali-ion batteries. Honeycomb-like porous materials can effectively solve the issues due to their abundant interconnected pore structures. Nevertheless, it is difficult and greatly challenging to fabricate a honeycomb-like porous RP that has not yet been fabricated via chemical synthesis. Herein, we successfully fabricate a honeycomb-like porous micron-sized red phosphorus (HPRP) with a controlled pore structure via a large-scale green and template-less hydrothermal strategy. It is demonstrated that dissolved oxygen in the solution can accelerate the destruction of P9 cages of RP, thus forming abundant active defects with a faster reaction rate, so the fast corrosion forms the honeycomb-like porous structure. Owing to the free volume, interconnected porous structure, and strong robustness, the optimized HPRP-36 can mitigate drastic volume variation and prevent pulverization during cycling resulting in tiny particle-level outward expansion, demonstrated by in situ TEM and ex situ SEM analysis. Thus, the HPRP-36 anode delivers a large reversible capacity (2587.4 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1) and long-cycling stability with over 500 cycles (∼81.9% capacity retention at 0.5 A g-1) in lithium-ion batteries. This generally scalable, green strategy and deep insights provide a good entry point in designing honeycomb-like porous micron-sized materials for high-performance electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

We need to remember that not only the production of energy needs to be realized sustainably, but also the technologies for energy storage need to follow the green guidelines to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases effectively. To reach the sustainability goals, we have to make batteries with the performances beyond their present capabilities concerning their lifetime, reliability, and safety. To be commercially viable, the technologies, materials, and chemicals utilized in batteries must support scalability that enables cost-effective large-scale production. As lithium-ion battery (LIB) is still the prevailing technology of the rechargeable batteries for the next ten years, the most practical approach to obtain batteries with better performance is to develop the chemistry and materials utilized in LIBs-especially in terms of safety and commercialization. To this end, silicon is the most promising candidate to obtain ultra-high performance on the anode side of the cell as silicon gives the highest theoretical capacity of the anode exceeding ten times the one of graphite. By balancing the other components in the cell, it is realistic to increase the overall capacity of the battery by 100%-200%. However, the exploitation of silicon in LIBs is anything else than a simple task due to the severe material-related challenges caused by lithiation/delithiation during battery cycling. The present review makes a comprehensive overview of the latest studies focusing on the utilization of nanosized silicon as the anode material in LIBs.

Abstract
Binders play a crucial role in the development of silicon (Si) anodes for lithium-ion batteries with high specific energy. The large volume change of Si (∼300%) during repeated discharge and charge processes causes the destruction and separation of electrode materials from the copper (Cu) current collector and ultimately results in poor cycling performance. In the present study, we design and prepare hydrogen-bonding cross-linked thiourea-based polymeric binders (denoted CMC-co-SN) in consideration of their excellent binding interaction with the Cu current collector and low cost as well. The CMC-co-SN binders are formed through in situ thermopolymerization of chain-type carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC) with thiourea (SN) in the drying process of Si electrode disks. A tight and physical interlocked layer between the CMC-co-SN binder and Cu current collector is derived from a dendritic nonstoichiometric copper sulfide (CuxS) layer on the interface and enhances the binding of electrode materials with the Cu current collector. When applying the CMC-co-SN binders to micro- (∼3 μm) (μSi) and nano- (∼50 nm) (nSi) Si particles, the Si anodes exhibit high initial Coulomb efficiency (91.5% for μSi and 83.2% for nSi) and excellent cyclability (1121 mA h g-1 for μSi after 140 cycles and 1083 mA h g-1 for nSi after 300 cycles). The results demonstrate that the CMC-co-SN binders together with a physical interlocked layer have significantly improved the electrochemical performance of Si anodes through strong binding forces with the current collector to maintain electrode integrity and avoid electric contact loss.

Abstract
Metallic lithium (Li), considered as the ultimate anode, is expected to promise high-energy rechargeable batteries. However, owing to the continuous Li consumption during the repeated Li plating/stripping cycling, excess amount of the Li metal anode is commonly utilized in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs), leading to reduced energy density and increased cost. Here, an all-solid-state lithium-metal battery (ASSLMB) based on a garnet-oxide solid electrolyte with an ultralow negative/positive electrode capacity ratio (N/P ratio) is reported. Compared with the counterpart using a liquid electrolyte at the same low N/P ratios, ASSLMBs show longer cycling life, which is attributed to the higher Coulombic efficiency maintained during cycling. The effect of the species of the interface layer on the cycling performance of ASSLMBs with low N/P ratio is also studied. Importantly, it is demonstrated that the ASSLMB using a limited Li metal anode paired with a LiFePO4 cathode (5.9 N/P ratio) delivers a stable long-term cycling performance at room temperature. Furthermore, it is revealed that enhanced specific energies for ASSLMBs with low N/P ratios can be further achieved by the use of a high-voltage or high mass-loading cathode. This study sheds light on the practical high-energy all-solid-state batteries under the constrained condition of a limited Li metal anode.

Abstract
Owing to their high capacity and low working potential, Si-based anodes are regarded as potential alternatives to graphite anodes to meet the higher requirements of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, high volume change causes the fracturing and pulverization of the bulk anode and continuous side reactions, which are more severe in large-particle Si anodes, limiting its practical application. Herein, to build a low-cost battery system, we chose a common industrial waste product, Al-Si microparticles (Al-SiMPs, ∼30 μm), as the anode for LIBs and coupled it with a 2.0 M LiFP6 2-MeTHF electrolyte to support its operation. The Al-SiMP anode showed a high specific capacity and a significantly improved electronic conductivity, ensuring high energy and power densities. An ultra-high initial coulombic efficiency (iCE) of 91.6% and a cycling CE of ∼99.9% were obtained in the half-cells, which delivered a capacity of 1300 mA h g-1 and maintained 95.3% after 100 cycles. Paired with low-cost and high-safety LiFePO4 as the cathode, the LFP||Al-SiMP full cells showed decent cycling stability and exhibited a considerable cost advantage, demonstrating a competitive solution for stationary energy storage.

Abstract
The ever-increasing silicon photovoltaics industry produces a huge annual production of silicon waste (2.03 × 105 tons in 2019), while lignin is one of the main waste materials in the traditional paper industry (7.0 × 107 tons annually), which lead to not only enormous wastage of resources but also serious environment pollution. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the dominating power sources for portable electronics and electric vehicles. Silicon (Si)-based material is the most promising anode choice for the next-generation high-energy-density LIBs due to its much higher capacity than the commercial graphite anode. Here, we proposed the use of these silicon and lignin waste as sustainable raw materials to fabricate high-capacity silicon/carbon (Si/C) anode materials for LIBs via a facile coprecipitation method utilizing electrostatic attracting force, followed by a thermal annealing process. The as-achieved Si/C composite featured an advanced material structure with micrometer-sized secondary particles and Si nanoparticles embedded in the carbon matrix, which could tackle the inherent challenges of Si materials, including low conductivity and large volume change during the lithiation/delithiation processes. As expected, the obtained Si/C composite displayed an initial charge capacity of 1016.8 mAh g-1, which was 3 times that of a commercial graphite anode in the state-of-the-art LIBs, as well as a high capacity retention of 74.5% at 0.2 A g-1 after 100 cycles. In addition, this Si/C composite delivered superior rate capability with a high capacity of 575.9 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1, 63.4% of the capacity at 0.2 A g-1. The utilization of industrial Si and lignin waste provides a sustainable route for the fabrication of advanced high-capacity anode materials for the next-generation LIBs with high economic and environmental feasibility.

Abstract
Silicon has been considered as the most promising anode candidate for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the fast capacity decay caused by huge volume expansion and low electronic conductivity limit the electrochemical performance. Herein, atomic distributed, air-stable, layer-by-layer-assembled Si/C (L-Si/C) is designed and in situ constructed from commercial micron-sized layered CaSi2 alloy with the greenhouse gas CO2. The inner structure of Si as well as the content and graphitization of C can be regulated by simply adjusting the reaction conditions. The rationally designed layered structure can enhance electronic conductivity and mitigate volume change without disrupting the carbon layer or destroying the solid electrolyte interface. Moreover, the single-layer Si and C can enhance lithium-ion transport in active materials. With these advantages, L-Si/C anode delivers an 82.85% capacity retention even after 3200 cycles and superior rate performance. The battery-capacitance dual-model mechanism is certified via quantitative kinetics measurement. Besides, the self-standing architecture is designed via assembling L-Si/C and MXene. Lithiophilic L-Si/C can guide homogeneous Li deposition with alleviated volume change. With the MXene/L-Si/C host for lithium-metal batteries, an ultralong life span up to 500 h in a carbonate-based electrolyte is achieved. A full cell with a high-energy 5 V LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode is constructed to verify the practicality of L-Si/C and MXene/L-Si/C. The rational design of a special layer structure may propose a strategy for other materials and energy storage systems.

Abstract
Due to its huge capacity, Si is a promising anode material for practical applications in lithium-ion batteries. Here, using first-principles calculations, we study the applicability of the amorphous Si anode in multivalent-ion batteries, which are of great interest as candidates for post-lithium-ion batteries. Of the multivalent Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Al3+ ions, only Mg2+ and Ca2+ are able to form Mg2.3Si and Ca2.5Si by alloying with Si, delivering very high capacities of 4390 and 4771 mA h g-1, respectively. Mg2.3Si has an 8% smaller capacity than Ca2.5Si, but its volume expansion ratio and ion diffusivity are ∼200% smaller and 3 orders of magnitude higher than those of Ca2.5Si, respectively. The capacity, volume expansion, and ion diffusion of Mg2.3Si are excellently high, moderately small, and fairly fast, respectively, when compared to those of Li3.7Si, Na0.75Si, and K1.1Si. The high performance of Mg2.3Si can be understood in terms of the coordination numbers of Si and the atomic size of Mg. This work suggests that, as a carrier ion for the amorphous Si anode, Mg2+ is the most competitive among the multivalent ions and is at least as good as monovalent ions.

Abstract
Although plenty of progress and achievements are made on hydrogel electrolyte researches, the inherent inferior low-temperature performance of hydrogel electrolyte is still a severe challenge for wider application on the energy storage devices, due to the high content of water within hydrogel. Herein, an enhanced solar-driven-heating composite hydrogel electrolyte and a solar-driven-heating graphene based micro-supercapacitor are developed utilizing the photothermal conversion ability and self-initiation of MoS2 nanosheets and additional Hofmeister effect. The MoS2 composite hydrogel electrolyte not only improves the reliability of micro-supercapacitor owing to its splendid mechanical properties, but also endows the micro-supercapacitor with superior low-temperature electrochemical performance and broadens its operating environment to a much lower temperature (-56 °C), which should be attributed to the excellent ability in converting endless solar energy into required thermal energy. These efforts would construct a new application platform for solar energy conversion and present an efficient method to structure severe-cold resistant solid state energy storage devices for next-generation.

Abstract
Stable battery operation involving high-capacity electrode materials such as tin (Sn) has been plagued by dimensional instability-driven battery degradation despite the potentially accessible high energy density of batteries. Rational design of Sn-based electrodes inevitably requires buffering or passivation layers mostly in a multi-stacked manner with sufficient void inside the shells. However, undesirable void engineering incurs energy loss and shell fracture during the strong calendaring process. Here, this study reports an inverse design of freestanding 3D graphene electrodes sequentially passivated by capacity-contributing Sn and protective/buffering TiO2 . Monodisperse polymer bead templates coated with inner TiO2 and outer SnO2 layers generate regular macropores and 3D interconnected graphene framework while the inner TiO2 shell turns inside out to fully passivate the surface of Sn nanoparticles during the thermal annealing process. The prepared 3D freestanding electrodes are simultaneously buffered by electronically conductive and flexible graphene support and ion-permeable/mechanically stable TiO2 nanoshells, thus greatly extending the cycle life of batteries more than 5000 cycles at 5 C with a reversible capacity of ≈520 mAh g-1 with a high volumetric energy density.

Abstract
Halogen redox couples offer several advantages for energy storage such as low cost, high solubility in water, and high redox potential. However, the operational complexity of storing halogens at the oxidation state via liquid-phase media hampers their widespread application in energy-storage devices. Herein, an aqueous zinc-dual-halogen battery system taking the advantages of redox flow batteries (inherent scalability) and intercalation chemistry (high capacity) is designed and fabricated. To enhance specific energy, the designed cell exploits both bromine and chlorine as the cathode redox couples that are present as halozinc complexes in a newly developed molten hydrate electrolyte, which is distinctive to the conventional zinc-bromine batteries. Benefiting from the reversible uptake of halogens at the graphite cathode, exclusive reliance on earth-abundant elements, and membrane-free and possible flow-through configuration, the proposed battery can potentially realize high-performance massive electric energy storage at a reasonable cost.

Abstract
Great efforts have been devoted to the development of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to meet the requirements of emerging technologies such as electric cars, large-scale energy storage, and portable electronic devices. To this end, silicon-based electrodes have been increasingly regarded as promising electrode materials by virtue of their high theoretical capacity, low costs, environmental friendliness, and high natural abundance. It has been noted that during repeated cycling, severe challenges such as huge volume change remain to be solved prior to practical application, which boosts the development of advanced cross-linked binders via chemical bonds (CBCBs) beyond traditional PVDF binder. This is because CBCBs can effectively fix the electrode particles, inhibit the volume expansion of Si particles, and stabilize the solid electrolyte interface and thus can enable good cycling stability of silicon anode-based batteries. In light of these merits, CBCBs hence arouse much attention from both industry and academia. In this review, we present chemical/mechanical characteristics of CBCBs and systematically discuss the recent advancements of cross-linked binders via chemical bonding for silicon-based electrodes. Focus is placed on the cross-linking chemistries, construction methods and structure-performance relationships of CBCBs. Finally, the future development and performance optimization of CBCBs are proposed. This discussion will provide good insight into the structural design of CBCBs for silicon-based electrodes.

Abstract
The volume change and concurrent stress evolution of electrode materials during the cycling of lithium-ion batteries can cause severe mechanical issues such as the fracture of active materials and electrodes, thus leading to safety issues and capacity fading. Recent years have witnessed a thriving interest to gain a complete understanding of battery electrode materials from the viewpoint of mechanics. This review paper aims at discussing battery electrode materials from a mechanical perspective to provide an overview of the recent innovative efforts in this field. On the one hand, we introduce the mechanical issues of active materials and electrodes in the electrochemical processes, along with a focus on the strategies developed for enhancing the mechanical strength of electrode materials and constructing mechanically robust electrodes. On the other hand, experimental and theoretical studies on the stress-regulated effects on electrochemical processes are discussed to demonstrate the intriguing role of mechanical stress as an enabler in electrochemistry. We also give an outlook on the promising research topics for understanding the material mechanical issues, reinforcing electrode materials and improving battery performance.

Abstract
To achieve superior lithium storage performance, SiO x is usually designed into nanostructured SiO x /C composites by complex or expensive methods. Here, micron-sized interconnected SiO x /N-doped carbon (NC) microspheres composed of evenly dispersed SiO x nano-domains and NC have been fabricated by a scalable microemulsion method and following pyrolysis, using vinyltriethoxysilane and chitosan as precursors. The unique structure of the micron-sized SiO x /NC spheres leads to enhanced structural integrity and enables stable long-term cycling (800 cycles at 2 A g-1). Benefiting from the enhanced electron/Li+ diffusion kinetics originated from the unique structure and N-doping, SiO x /NC-2 presents considerable capacitive-controlled Li storage capacity, which leads to outstanding rate capability. Consequently, the assembled SiO x /NC-2//LiFePO4 full cell exhibits superior rate capability (106 mA h g-1 at 4C) and stable long-term cycling at 2C (102 mA h g-1 after 350 cycles). This work opens a new door for the application of chitosan in building micron-sized high-performance SiO x /C anode materials, and to some extent facilitates the recycling of waste seafood shells.

Abstract
Nanostructured electrodes are among the most important candidates for high-capacity battery chemistry. However, the high surface area they possess causes serious issues. First, it would decrease the Coulombic efficiencies. Second, they have significant intakes of liquid electrolytes, which reduce the energy density and increase the battery cost. Third, solid-electrolyte interphase growth is accelerated, affecting the cycling stability. Therefore, the interphase chemistry regarding electrolyte contact is crucial, which was rarely studied. Here, we present a completely new strategy of limiting effective surface area by introducing an "electrolyte-phobic surface". Using this method, the electrolyte intake was limited. The initial Coulombic efficiencies were increased up to ∼88%, compared to ∼60% of the control. The electrolyte-phobic layer of Si particles is also compatible with the binder, stabilizing the electrode for long-term cycling. This study advances the understanding of interphase chemistry, and the introduction of the universal concept of electrolyte-phobicity benefits the next-generation battery designs.

Abstract
High-rate lithium (Li) ion batteries that can be charged in minutes and store enough energy for a 350-mile driving range are highly desired for all-electric vehicles. A high charging rate usually leads to sacrifices in capacity and cycling stability. We report use of black phosphorus (BP) as the active anode for high-rate, high-capacity Li storage. The formation of covalent bonds with graphitic carbon restrains edge reconstruction in layered BP particles to ensure open edges for fast Li+ entry; the coating of the covalently bonded BP-graphite particles with electrolyte-swollen polyaniline yields a stable solid–electrolyte interphase and inhibits the continuous growth of poorly conducting Li fluorides and carbonates to ensure efficient Li+ transport. The resultant composite anode demonstrates an excellent combination of capacity, rate, and cycling endurance.

Abstract
Silicon is one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, significant capacity fading caused by severe structural degradation during cycling limits its practical implication. To overcome this barrier, we design a covalently bonded nanocomposite of silicon and poly(vinyl alcohol) (Si-PVA) by high-energy ball-milling of a mixture of micron-sized Si and PVA. The obtained Si nanoparticles are wrapped by resilient PVA coatings that covalently bond to the Si particles. In such nanostructures, the soft PVA coatings can accommodate the volume change of the Si particles during repeated lithiation and delithiation. Simultaneously, as formed covalent bonds enhance the mechanical strength of the coatings. Due to the significantly improved structural stability, the Si-PVA composite delivers a lifespan of 100 cycles with a high capacity of 1526 mAh g-1. In addition, a high initial Coulombic efficiency of over 86% and an average value of 99.2% in subsequent cycles can be achieved. This reactive ball-milling strategy provides a low-cost and scalable route to fabricate high-performance anode materials.

Abstract
Silicone (Si) is one type of anode materials with intriguingly high theoretical capacity. However, the severe volume change associated with the repeated lithiation and delithiation processes hampers the mechanical/electrical integrity of Si anodes and hence reduces the battery's cycle-life. To address this issue, sequence-defined peptoids are designed and fabricated with two tailored functional groups, "-OH" and "-COOH", as cross-linkable polymeric binders for Si anodes of LIBs. Experimental results show that both the capacity and stability of such peptoids-bound Si anodes can be significantly improved due to the decreased cracks of Si nanoparticles. Particularly, the 15-mer peptoid binder in Si anode can result in a much higher reversible capacity (ca. 3110 mAh g-1) after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 compared to other reported binders in literature. According to the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is the functional groups presented on the side chains of peptoids that facilitate the formation of Si-O binding efficiency and robustness, and then maintain the integrity of the Si anode. The sequence-designed polymers can act as a new platform for understanding the interactions between binders and Si anode materials, and promote the realization of high-performance batteries.

Abstract
Porous strategies based on nanoengineering successfully mitigate several problems related to volume expansion of alloying anodes. However, practical application of porous alloying anodes is challenging because of limitations such as calendering incompatibility, low mass loading, and excessive usage of nonactive materials, all of which cause a lower volumetric energy density in comparison with conventional graphite anodes. In particular, during calendering, porous structures in alloying-based composites easily collapse under high pressure, attenuating the porous characteristics. Herein, this work proposes a calendering-compatible macroporous architecture for a Si-graphite anode to maximize the volumetric energy density. The anode is composed of an elastic outermost carbon covering, a nonfilling porous structure, and a graphite core. Owing to the lubricative properties of the elastic carbon covering, the macroporous structure coated by the brittle Si nanolayer can withstand high pressure and maintain its porous architecture during electrode calendering. Scalable methods using mechanical agitation and chemical vapor deposition are adopted. The as-prepared composite exhibits excellent electrochemical stability of >3.6 mAh cm-2 , with mitigated electrode expansion. Furthermore, full-cell evaluation shows that the composite achieves higher energy density (932 Wh L-1 ) and higher specific energy (333 Wh kg-1 ) with stable cycling than has been reported in previous studies.

Abstract
Binders play a crucial role in maintaining mechanical integrity of electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, the conventional binders lack proper elasticity, and they are not suitable for high-performance silicon anodes featuring huge volume change during cycling. Herein, a poly(siloxane imide) copolymer (PSI) has been designed, synthesized, and utilized as a binder for silicon-based anodes. A rigidness/softness coupling mechanism is demonstrated by the PSI binder, which can accommodate volume expansion of the silicon anode upon lithiation. The electrochemical performance in terms of cyclic stability and rate capability can be effectively improved with the PSI binder as demonstrated by a silicon nanoparticle anode.
