Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries are used in various extreme environments, such as cold regions and outer space; thus, improvements in energy density, safety, and cycle life in these environments are urgently required. We investigated changes in the charge and discharge properties of Si-based electrodes in ionic liquid electrolytes with decreasing temperature and the cycle life at low temperature. The reversible capacity at low temperature was determined by the properties of the surface film on the electrodes and/or the ionic conductivity of the electrolytes. The electrode coated with a surface film formed at a low temperature exhibited insufficient capacity. In contrast, a Si-only electrode precoated with the surface film at room temperature exhibited a cycle life at low temperatures in ionic liquid electrolytes longer than that in conventional organic liquid electrolytes. Doping phosphorus into Si led to improved cycling performance, and its impact was more noticeable at lower temperatures.

Abstract
Besides silicon's low electronic conductivity, another critical issue for using silicon as the anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is the dramatic volume variation (>300%) during lithiation/delithiation processes, which can lead to rapid capacity fading and poor rate capability, thereby hampering silicon's practical applications in batteries. To mitigate these issues, herein, we report our findings on the design and understanding of a self-supported Cu3Si-Si@carbon@graphene (Cu3Si-SCG) nanocomposite anode. The nanocomposite is composed of Cu3Si-Si core and carbon shell with core/shell particles uniformly encapsulated by graphene nanosheets anchored directly on a Cu foil. In this design, the carbon shell, the highly elastic graphene nanosheet, and the formed conductive and inactive Cu3Si phase in Si serve as buffer media to suppress volume variation of Si during lithiation/delithiation processes and to facilitate the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer as well as to enable good transport kinetics. Chemomechanical simulation results quantitatively coincide with the in situ TEM observations of volume expansion and provide process details not seen in experiments. The optimized Cu3Si-SCG nanocomposite anode exhibits good rate performance and delivers reversible capacity of 483 mA h g-1 (based on the total weight of Cu3Si-SCG) after 500 cycles with capacity retention of about 80% at high current density of 4 A g-1, rendering the nanocomposite a desirable anode candidate for high-performance LIBs.
