Abstract
A dynamic and stable charge transfer process is the key to exerting lithium storage characteristics of the silicon anode with a large volume change. In this work, the composite with an ultrathin carbon sheet skeleton is prepared by freeze-drying and a copyrolysis process after uniformly mixing citric acid and hydroxylated Si NPs, which is different from traditional conformal carbon coating derived from citric acid. A flexible carbon sheet reduces internal particle (Si-OH@NC) slip and cooperates with interfacial Si-O-C bonding to buffer machinal stress in the electrode during cycling. More importantly, the carbon sheet network increases the point-to-surface contact area between the active material and the conductive agent, ensures continuous electrical connection from the current collector to the active material, and promotes a rapid and stable electron transfer process. Besides, the N-doped C structure with remarkable nucleophilicity guarantees fast ion transport, which is confirmed by theoretical calculation. In this way, the reaction reversibility of the Si-based electrode is further realized during cycles. As a result, the electrode delivers excellent cycle performance (reversible capacity of 1001.9 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 500 cycles) and rate performance (capacity retention of 86.8 and 65.8% at 1 and 3 A g-1, respectively, compared to 0.2 A g-1). The idea of constructing a highly efficient electrode conductive network through a doped-carbon sheet network is also applicable to other active materials with huge volume changes during lithium storage.

Abstract
The application of photovoltaic (PV) solid waste to the field of lithium-ion batteries is deemed to be an effective solution for waste disposal, which can not only solve the problem of environmental pollution but also avoid the loss of secondary resources. Herein, based on the volatile deposited waste produced by electron beam refining polysilicon, a simple and environmentally friendly method was designed to synthesize P-Si@SiOx/Ag/CN as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Remarkably, the presence of silver and the formation of a carbon-nitrogen network can enhance the electrical conductivity of the composite and boost the transport efficiency of lithium ions. Furthermore, the porous Si@SiOx structure is generated by silver-assisted chemical etching (Ag-ACE), and the carbon-nitrogen grid architecture is formed after lyophilization with NaCl as a template, which can jointly provide sufficient buffer space for the volume change of silicon during lithiation/delithiation. Benefitting from these advantages, the P-Si@SiOx/Ag/CN anode exhibits outstanding cycling performance with 759 mA h g-1 over 300 cycles at 0.5 A g-1. Meanwhile, the lithium-ion batteries employing the P-Si@SiOx/Ag/CN anodes present a superior rate capability of 950 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 and retain a high reversible specific capacity of 956 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 50 cycles. This work opens up a new economic strategy for the fabrication of high-performance silicon anodes and affords a promising avenue for the recycling of PV silicon waste.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has recently aroused great interest as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries with high energy density due to its high theoretical capacity. However, the application of Si remains a great challenge owing to its extremely large volume change during cycling, thus resulting in dramatic capacity fading. Herein, a novel structure design of the porous Si/C composite with Si nanoparticles embedded in the carbon nanosheets has been successfully achieved by using a recrystallized NaCl template with appropriate particle size. The outermost sheet-like carbon coating can improve the electronic conductivity and contribute to the formation of a more stable solid-electrolyte interphase layer, while the inner void space effectively buffers the volume expansion of Si during the lithiation process. In addition, only a structure with Si particles anchored on the surface of carbon nanosheets has been obtained by using a commercial NaCl template with large particle size, confirming the effective regulation of the NaCl template in the microstructure and thus the electrochemical properties of the Si/C composites. As expected, benefiting from the combination of the outermost carbon coating and recrystallized NaCl-derived porous structure, the as-obtained Si/C composite demonstrates attractive cycling stability and rate performance as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
