Abstract
The carbon nanomaterials are usually used to improve the electrical conductivity and stability of silicon (Si) anodes for lithium-ion batteries. However, the Si-based composites containing carbon nanomaterials generally show large specific surface area, leading to severe side reactions that generate large amounts of solid electrolyte interphase films. Herein, we embedded graphene oxide (GO) and silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) uniformly in pitch matrix by solvent dispersion. The internally doped GO reduces the exposed surface and improves the electrical conductivity of the composite. Meanwhile, the multi-interface structures are constructed inside to limit the domains of Si NPs and improve the structural stability of the material. When evaluated as anodes, the Si/graphene/pitch-based carbon composite anode exhibits the outstanding electrochemical properties, delivering a reversible capacity of 820.8 mAh/g at 50 mA g-1, as well as a capacity retention of 93.6 % after 1000 cycles at 2 A/g. In addition, when assembled with the LiFePO4 cathode, the full cell exhibits an impressive capacity retention of 95 % after 100 cycles at 85 mA g-1. This work provides a valuable design concept for the development of Si/carbon anodes.

Advances in silicon-carbon composites anodes derived from agro wastes for applications in lithium-ion battery: A review. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31482.

Abstract
Recently, the growing demand for high-performing batteries and different environmental challenges (such include global warming and climate change) have increased the requirement and demand for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in advanced technologies (i.e., electric cars and many others). To meet this increasing demand, there is an urgent need for more advanced technologies and materials. In the pursuit of developing anode materials, silicon has emerged as the utmost favourable choice for the next generation of LIBs, aiming to substitute the commonly used graphite. Carbon is commonly used to render silicon (Si) suitable for use since Si cannot be used directly as the electrode in LIBs. One of the recently discovered techniques in the development of high-performance LIBs is the use of inexpensive, sustainable, renewable, and eco-friendly materials. Agro-waste-derived silicon and carbon are often used as long as they don't negatively affect the LIB anode's performance. This review paper presents the advances in the development of silicon-carbon (Si/C) composite anodes sourced from agro-waste for applications in LIBs. It provides an overview of agro-waste-derived silicon-based anode materials and techniques for extracting silica from agricultural wastes. Next, the outline explains the preparation technique of Si/C composites obtained from agricultural residues for use in LIBs. Additionally, the paper delves into recent research challenges and the potential prospects of materials derived from agro-waste in the advancement of sophisticated LIBs battery materials.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:754. [PMID: 38591635 PMCID: PMC10856289 DOI: 10.3390/ma17030754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
(Si/graphite)@C and (Si/graphite/graphene)@C were synthesized by coating asphalt-cracked carbon on the surface of a Si-based precursor by spray drying, followed by heat treatment at 1000 °C under vacuum for 2h. The impact of graphene on the performance of silicon-carbon composite-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) images of (Si/graphite/graphene)@C showed that the nano-Si and graphene particles were dispersed on the surface of graphite, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves indicated that the content of silicon in the (Si/graphite/graphene)@C was 18.91%. More bituminous cracking carbon formed on the surface of the (Si/graphite/graphene)@C due to the large specific surface area of graphene. (Si/Graphite/Graphene)@C delivered first discharge and charge capacities of 860.4 and 782.1 mAh/g, respectively, initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 90.9%, and capacity retention of 74.5% after 200 cycles. The addition of graphene effectively improved the cycling performance of the Si-based anode materials, which can be attributed to the reduction of electrochemical polarization due to the good structural stability and high conductivity of graphene.

Abstract
Amorphous Si thin films with different thicknesses were deposited on synthetic graphite electrodes by using a simple and scalable one-step physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. The specific capacities and rate capabilities of the produced electrodes were investigated. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, profilometry, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic techniques, and in situ Raman spectroscopy were used to investigate their physicochemical and electrochemical properties. Our results demonstrated that the produced Si films covered the bare graphite electrodes completely and uniformly. Si-coated graphite, Si@G, with an optimal thickness of 1 μm exhibited good stability, with an initial discharge capacity of 628.7 mAhg-1, a capacity retention of 96.2%, and a columbic efficiency (CE) higher than 99% at C/3. A discharge capacity of 250 mAh g-1 was attained at a high current rate of 3C, which was over 2.5 times that of a bare graphite electrode, thanks to the high activated surface area (1.5 times that of pristine graphite) and reduced resistance during cycling.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most preferred energy storage devices today for many high-performance applications. Recently, concerns about global warming and climate change have increased the need and requirements for LIBs used in electric vehicles, and thus more advanced technologies and materials are urgently needed. Among the anode materials under development, silicon (Si) has been considered the most promising anode candidate for the next generation LIBs to replace the widely used graphite. Si cannot be used as such as the electrode of LIB, and thus, carbon is commonly used to realize the applicability of Si in LIBs. Typically, this means forming a-Si/carbon composite (Si/C). One of the main challenges in the industrial development of high-performance LIBs is to exploit low-cost, environmentally benign, sustainable, and renewable chemicals and materials. In this regard, bio-based Si and carbon are favorable to address the challenge assuming that the performance of the LIB anode is not compromised. The present review paper focuses on the development of Si and carbon anodes derived from various types of biogenic sources, particularly from plant-derived biomass resources. An overview of the biomass precursors, process/extraction methods for producing Si and carbon, the critical physicochemical properties influencing the lithium storage in LIBs, and how they affect the electrochemical performance are highlighted. The review paper also discusses the current research challenges and prospects of biomass-derived materials in developing advanced battery materials.

Abstract
Silicon is one of the most promising materials when it comes to lithium-ion battery anodes because of its high theoretical capacity and the low working potential versus Li/Li+. However, the drastic volume change during lithiation and delithiation leads to a rapid failure of the electrode. In order to accommodate the large volume change, Si@C core-shell nanocomposites have been investigated, as they efficiently protect the Si surface from being exposed to the electrolyte and thus limit side reactions and improve the cycling stability through a stable solid electrolyte interface layer. In recent years, phenolic resins have been investigated as the carbon source due to their facile synthesis and the possibility of scale-up. Here, the influence of the chemical structure of the Si-C interface on electrochemical performance has been analyzed by comparing pristine, silanol-rich and epoxide-functionalized Si/phenolic resin-derived nanocomposites. Whereas pristine Si@C exhibits the highest initial specific capacity of around 2000 mA h/gSi, introduction of silanol groups to the native surface leads to a more homogeneous carbon shell around the Si and thus to an overall higher Coulombic efficiency and a more stable cycling behavior. Additional epoxide functionalization, however, leads to a drastic decrease in initial capacity due to an overall increased resistance and prolongs the activation process. Nevertheless, in the long term, the additional layer leads to more stable cycling, especially at high current rates. For all nanocomposites, the electrochemical performance, characterized by cyclic voltammetry, cycling experiments, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, is correlated with the structure of the Si-C interface, determined by transition electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman, scanning electron microscopy, and IR-spectroscopy. To the best of our knowledge, the influence of the Si-C interface of a core-shell nanocomposite on structure and electrochemistry by chemically modifying the silicon surface is analyzed and reported for the first time.

Abstract
Silicon oxide (SiOx, 0 < x < 2) is considered one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. However, its commercial application is limited by the non-negligible volume change during cycling. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) structure of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) cross-linked with iminodiacetic (c-CMC-IDA150) was facilely formed through in situ thermal cross-linking of CMC and iminodiacetic acid (IDA) in the fabrication process of the electrode, which could construct a robust network to restrain the volume change of the SiOx anode and maintain the integrity of the electrode. In addition, the 3D cross-linked c-CMC-IDA150 provides sufficient contact sites to improve the adhesive strength. Thus, SiOx@c-CMC-IDA150 shows a prolonged cycle life, achieving a capacity of 1020 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g-1. With the increase in the current density to 1.0 A g-1, SiOx@c-CMC-IDA150 exhibits a reversible capacity of 899 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles with a capacity retention of 70.2%. This work provides a potential perspective to fabricate high-performance SiOx anodes and promote the stability of high-capacity Si-based anodes.

Abstract
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has been recognized as a simple and reliable analytical tool for characterization of industrially manufactured graphene powders. Thermal properties of graphene are dependent on many parameters such as particle size, number of layers, defects and presence of oxygen groups to improve the reliability of this method for quality control of graphene materials, therefore it is important to explore the influence of these parameters. This paper presents a comprehensive TGA study to determine the influence of different particle size of the three key materials including graphene, graphene oxide and graphite on their thermal parameters such as carbon decomposition range and its temperature of maximum mass change rate (Tmax). Results showed that Tmax values derived from the TGA-DTG carbon combustion peaks of these materials increasing from GO (558–616 °C), to graphene (659–713 °C) and followed by graphite (841–949 °C) The Tmax values derived from their respective DTG carbon combustion peaks increased as their particle size increased (28.6–120.2 µm for GO, 7.6–73.4 for graphene and 24.2–148.8 µm for graphite). The linear relationship between the Tmax values and the particle size of graphene and their key impurities (graphite and GO) confirmed in this study endows the use of TGA technique with more confidence to evaluate bulk graphene-related materials (GRMs) at low-cost, rapid, reliable and simple diagnostic tool for improved quality control of industrially manufactured GRMs including detection of “fake” graphene.

Abstract
Recently, applications for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have expanded to include electric vehicles and electric energy storage systems, extending beyond power sources for portable electronic devices. The power sources of these flexible electronic devices require the creation of thin, light, and flexible power supply devices such as flexile electrolytes/insulators, electrode materials, current collectors, and batteries that play an important role in packaging. Demand will require the progress of modern electrode materials with high capacity, rate capability, cycle stability, electrical conductivity, and mechanical flexibility for the time to come. The integration of high electrical conductivity and flexible buckypaper (oxidized Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) film) and high theoretical capacity silicon materials are effective for obtaining superior high-energy-density and flexible electrode materials. Therefore, this study focuses on improving the high-capacity, capability-cycling stability of the thin-film Si buckypaper free-standing electrodes for lightweight and flexible energy-supply devices. First, buckypaper (oxidized MWCNTs) was prepared by assembling a free stand-alone electrode, and electrical conductivity tests confirmed that the buckypaper has sufficient electrical conductivity (10-4(S m-1) in LIBs) to operate simultaneously with a current collector. Subsequently, silicon was deposited on the buckypaper via magnetron sputtering. Next, the thin-film Si buckypaper freestanding electrodes were heat-treated at 600 °C in a vacuum, which improved their electrochemical performance significantly. Electrochemical results demonstrated that the electrode capacity can be increased by 27/26 and 95/93 μAh in unheated and heated buckypaper current collectors, respectively. The measured discharge/charge capacities of the USi_HBP electrode were 108/106 μAh after 100 cycles, corresponding to a Coulombic efficiency of 98.1%, whereas the HSi_HBP electrode indicated a discharge/charge capacity of 193/192 μAh at the 100th cycle, corresponding to a capacity retention of 99.5%. In particular, the HSi_HBP electrode can decrease the capacity by less than 1.5% compared with the value of the first cycle after 100 cycles, demonstrating excellent electrochemical stability.

Abstract
Si-based anode materials have attracted considerable attention for use in high-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but their practical application is hindered by huge volume changes and structural instabilities that occur during lithiation/delithiation and low-conductivity. In this regard, we report a novel Si-nanocomposite by modulating the ultrathin surface oxide of nano-Si at a low temperature and highly conductive graphene-graphite matrix. The Si nanoparticles are synthesized by high-energy mechanical milling of micro-Si. The prepared Si/SiOx@C nanocomposite electrode delivers a high-discharge capacity of 1355 mAh g-1@300th cycle with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.5% and a discharge capacity retention of ∼88% at 1C-rate (500 mA g-1). Remarkably, the nanocomposite exhibits a high initial Coulombic efficiency of ∼87% and excellent charge/discharge rate performance in the range of 0.5-5C. Moreover, a comparative investigation of the three different electrodes nano-Si, Si/SiOx, and Si/SiOx@C are presented. The exceptional electrochemical performance of Si/SiOx@C is owing to the nanosized silicon and ultrathin SiOx followed by a high-conductivity graphene-graphite matrix, since such a nanostructure is beneficial to suppress the volume changes of silicon, maintain the structural integrity, and enhance the charge transfer during cycling. The proposed nanocomposite and the synthesis method are novel, facile, and cost-effective. Consequently, the Si/SiOx@C nanocomposite can be a promising candidate for widespread application in next-generation LIB anodes.

Abstract
Encapsulating silicon (Si) nanoparticles with graphene nanosheets in a microspherical structure is proposed to increase electrical conductivity and solve stability issues when using Si as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Currently the main strategies to produce high-quality Si-graphene (Si@Gra) electrodes are (1) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of graphene grown in situ on Si by hydrocarbon precursors and (2) encapsulating Si with a graphene oxide followed by postannealing. However, both methods require a high-temperature and are costly and time-consuming procedures, which hinders their mass scalability and practical utilization. Herein, we report a Si@Gra composite with a ball-like structure that is assembled by a facile spray drying process without a postannealing treatment. The graphene sheets are synthesized by an electrochemical exfoliation method from natural graphite. The resulting Si@Gra composite exhibits a unique core-shell structure, from which the ball-like morphology and the number of graphene layers in the Si@Gra composites are found to affect both the electric conductivity and ionic conductivity. The Si@Gra composites are found to increase the capacity of the anode and provide excellent cycling stability, which is attributed to the high electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility of the layered graphene; additionally, a void space in the core-shelled ball structure inside the Si@Gra compensates for the Si volume expansion. As a result, the Si@few-layer graphene ball anode exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 2882.3 mA h g-1 and a high initial coulombic efficiency of 86.9% at 0.2 A g-1. The combination of few-layer graphene sheets and the spray drying process can effectively be applied for large-scale production of core-shell structured Si@Gra composites as promising anode materials for use in high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
To increase the energy storage density of lithium-ion batteries, silicon anodes have been explored due to their high capacity. One of the main challenges for silicon anodes are large volume variations during the lithiation processes. Recently, several high-performance schemes have been demonstrated with increased life cycles utilizing nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanowires, and thin films. However, a method that allows the large-scale production of silicon anodes remains to be demonstrated. Herein, we address this question by suggesting new scalable nanomaterial-based anodes. Si nanoparticles were grown on nanographite flakes by aerogel fabrication route from Si powder and nanographite mixture using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This silicon-nanographite aerogel electrode has stable specific capacity even at high current rates and exhibit good cyclic stability. The specific capacity is 455 mAh g−1 for 200th cycles with a coulombic efficiency of 97% at a current density 100 mA g−1.

Abstract
Silicon is considered a most promising anode material for overcoming the theoretical capacity limit of carbonaceous anodes. The use of nanomethods has led to significant progress being made with Si anodes to address the severe volume change during (de)lithiation. However, less progress has been made in the practical application of Si anodes in commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The drastic increase in the energy demands of diverse industries has led to the co-utilization of Si and graphite resurfacing as a commercially viable method for realizing high energy. Herein, we highlight the necessity for the co-utilization of graphite and Si for commercialization and discuss the development of graphite/Si anodes. Representative Si anodes used in graphite-blended electrodes are covered and a variety of strategies for building graphite/Si composites are organized according to their synthetic methods. The criteria for the co-utilization of graphite and Si are systematically presented. Finally, we provide suggestions for the commercialization of graphite/Si combinations.

Abstract
The chemical modification of graphdiyne (GDY) using light elements is a possible route to regulate its unique structure and optoelectronic properties. In this paper it is shown that directly heating a mixture of xenon difluoride and GDY produces partially fluorinated GDY with covalent C–F bonding and localized sp2-carbon hybridization because of the breaking of the acetylenic bond. It is seen that the fluorescence of GDY is significantly enhanced because of the fluorine doping. All the fluorinated GDYs with different doping ratios of fluorine exhibit photoluminescence from bright blue to green when the excitation wavelength varies from 260 nm to 480 nm. In addition, the doped GDY with 15.2% fluorine doping shows a strong photoluminescence and the quantum efficiency is 3.7%. The enhanced fluorescence is considered to be induced by defect states because of the doping of fluorine, suggesting its potential applications in luminescence devices, such as biological sensing and flexible light-emitting diodes. The enhanced fluorescence of FGDY is considered to be induced by low phonon energy of fluoride, reducing non-radiative transition sites.![]()

Abstract
An epoxy group was successfully attached to the surface of silicon nanoparticle (SiNPs) via a silanization reaction between silanol-enriched SiNPs and functional silanes. The epoxy-functionalized SiNPs showed a much improved cell performance compared with the pristine SiNPs because of the increased stability with electrolyte and the formation of a covalent bond between the epoxy group and the polyacrylic acid binder. Furthermore, the anode laminate made from epoxy-SiNPs showed much enhanced adhesion strength. Post-test analysis shed light on how the epoxy-functional group affects the physical and electrochemical properties of the SiNP anode.

Abstract
A porous silicon and carbon composite (PSi/C) with granadilla-like structure as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries has been easily fabricated by spray drying and subsequent pyrolysis treatments. For the PSi/C, yolk-shell-structured Si/C nanobeads are equably distributed inside the porous carbon framework. The key point of this work is the combination of the advantages of both the yolk-shell structure and porous structure in one system. The void space inside the yolk-shell Si/C nanobeads and the interconnected three-dimensional porous carbon frameworks can effectively enhance the cyclic stability and conductivity of this composite. As expected, PSi/C with 15.4% silicon content exhibited a specific capacity as high as 1357.43 mAh g-1 and retained 933.62 mAh g-1 beyond 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1. Moreover, it showed a reversible specific capacity as high as 610.38 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1, even after 3000 cycles.

Abstract
The performance of electrode materials in lithium-ion (Li-ion), sodium-ion (Na-ion) and related batteries depends not only on their chemical composition but also on their microstructure. The choice of a synthesis method is therefore of paramount importance. Amongst the wide variety of synthesis or shaping routes reported for an ever-increasing panel of compositions, spray-drying stands out as a versatile tool offering demonstrated potential for up-scaling to industrial quantities. In this review, we provide an overview of the rapidly increasing literature including both spray-drying of solutions and spray-drying of suspensions. We focus, in particular, on the chemical aspects of the formulation of the solution/suspension to be spray-dried. We also consider the post-processing of the spray-dried precursors and the resulting morphologies of granules. The review references more than 300 publications in tables where entries are listed based on final compound composition, starting materials, sources of carbon etc.

Abstract
Various graphene-based Si nanocomposites have been reported to improve the performance of active materials in Li-ion batteries. However, these candidates still yield severe capacity fading due to the electrical disconnection and fractures caused by the huge volume changes over extended cycles. Therefore, we have designed a novel three-dimensional cross-linked graphene and single-wall carbon nanotube structure to encapsulate the Si nanoparticles. The synthesized three-dimensional structure is attributed to the excellent self-assembly of carbon nanotubes with graphene oxide as well as a thermal treatment process at 900 °C. This special structure provides sufficient void spaces for the volume expansion of Si nanoparticles and channels for the diffusion of ions and electrons. In addition, the cross-linking of the graphene and single-wall carbon nanotubes also strengthens the stability of the structure. As a result, the volume expansion of the Si nanoparticles is restrained. The specific capacity remains at 1450 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 200 mA g-1. This well-defined three-dimensional structure facilitates superior capacity and cycling stability in comparison with bare Si and a mechanically mixed composite electrode of graphene, single-wall carbon nanotubes and silicon nanoparticles.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has been regarded as one of the most promising anodes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its exceptional capacity, appropriate voltage profile, and reliable operation safety. However, poor cyclic stability and moderate rate performance have been critical drawbacks to hamper the practical application of Si-based anodes. It has been one of the central issues to develop new strategies to improve the cyclic and rate performance of the Si-based lithium-ion battery anodes. In this work, super-small metal nanoparticles (2.9 nm in diameter) are in situ synthesized and homogeneously embedded in the in situ formed nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, as demonstrated by the Si/Ag/C nanohybrid, where epoxy resin monomers are used as solvent and carbon source. With tiny amount of silver (2.59% by mass), the Si/Ag/C nanohybrid exhibits superior rate performance compared to the bare Si/C sample. Systematic structure characterization and electrochemical performance tests of the Si/Ag/C nanohybrids have been performed. The mechanism for the enhanced rate performance is investigated and elaborated. The temperature-dependent I-V behavior of the Si/Ag/C nanohybrids with tuned silver contents is measured. Based on the model, it is found that the super-small silver nanoparticles mainly increase charge carrier mobility instead of the charge carrier density in the Si/Ag/C nanohybrids. The evaluation of the total electron transportation length provided by the silver nanoparticles within the electrode also suggests significantly enhanced charge carrier mobility. The existence of tremendous amounts of super-small silver nanoparticles with excellent mechanical properties also contributes to the slightly improved cyclic stability compared to that of simple Si/C anodes.

Abstract
Silicon has attracted huge attention in the last decade because it has a theoretical capacity ∼10 times that of graphite. However, the practical application of Si is hindered by three major challenges: large volume expansion during cycling (∼300%), low electrical conductivity, and instability of the SEI layer caused by repeated volume changes of the Si material. Significant research efforts have been devoted to addressing these challenges, and significant breakthroughs have been made particularly in the last two years (2014 and 2015). In this review, we have focused on the principles of Si material design, novel synthesis methods to achieve such structural designs, and the synthesis-structure-performance relationships to enhance the properties of Si anodes. To provide a systematic overview of the Si material design strategies, we have grouped the design strategies into several categories: (i) particle-based structures (containing nanoparticles, solid core-shell structures, hollow core-shell structures, and yolk-shell structures), (ii) porous Si designs, (iii) nanowires, nanotubes and nanofibers, (iv) Si-based composites, and (v) unusual designs. Finally, our personal perspectives on outlook are offered with an aim to stimulate further discussion and ideas on the rational design of durable and high performance Si anodes for the next generation Li-ion batteries in the near future.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanocomposites have been demonstrated to be promising high-capacity anodes for lithium ion batteries to satisfy the ever-growing demands for higher capacity, longer cycle life and better high-rate performance. Synergetic effects between graphene and the introduced second-phase component are generally observed. In this feature review article, we will focus on the recent work on four different categories of graphene-based nanocomposite anodes by us and others: graphene-transitional metal oxide, graphene-Sn/Si/Ge, graphene-metal sulfide, and graphene-carbon nanotubes. For the supported materials on graphene, we will emphasize the non-zero dimensional (non-particle) morphologies such as two dimensional nanosheet/nanoplate and one dimensional nanorod/nanofibre/nanotube morphologies. The synthesis strategies and lithium-ion storage properties of these highlighted electrode morphologies are distinct from those of the commonly obtained zero dimensional nanoparticles. We aim to stress the importance of structure matching in the composites and their morphology-dependent lithium-storage properties and mechanisms.
