Abstract
Poor intrinsic conductivity and the presence of irreversible lithiation phase affect the electrochemical performance of silicon oxycarbide anode materials. Even though it can be improved by increasing free carbon content or composition, scarification of reversible capacity and initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) remain as challenge. Here, polycarbosilane (PCS) with alternating distribution of silicon and carbon atoms is employed as precursor of SiOC ceramics. Air oxidation cross-linking is used to regulate the content of oxygen and carbon elements in PCS at atom level, so as to explore a solution to improve the intrinsic conductivity and reversible lithium phase content of SiOC ceramics. This strategy provides extremely excellent rate capability, areal/volumetric capacity, and ICE. This is also the first concept for feasible precursor structure design to control the SiOC glass phase and regulate the growth of C nanoribbon that can improve the intrinsic conductivity and reversible capacity of SiOC ceramic anode materials.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are materials with one or more nanoscale dimensions (internal or external) (i.e., 1 to 100 nm). The nanomaterial shape, size, porosity, surface chemistry, and composition are controlled at the nanoscale, and this offers interesting properties compared with bulk materials. This review describes how nanomaterials are classified, their fabrication, functionalization techniques, and growth-controlled mechanisms. First, the history of nanomaterials is summarized and then the different classification methods, based on their dimensionality (0-3D), composition (carbon, inorganic, organic, and hybrids), origin (natural, incidental, engineered, bioinspired), crystal phase (single phase, multiphase), and dispersion state (dispersed or aggregated), are presented. Then, the synthesis methods are discussed and classified in function of the starting material (bottom-up and top-down), reaction phase (gas, plasma, liquid, and solid), and nature of the dispersing forces (mechanical, physical, chemical, physicochemical, and biological). Finally, the challenges in synthesizing nanomaterials for research and commercial use are highlighted.
