Abstract
A variety of strategies have been developed to enhance the cycling stability of Si-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Although significant progress has been made in enhancing the cycling stability of Si-based anodes, the low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) remains a significant challenge to their commercial application. Herein, pitch-based carbon (C) coated Si nanoparticles (NPs) were wrapped by graphene (G) to obtain Si@C/G composite with a small specific surface area of 11.3 m2g-1, resulting in a high ICE of 91.2% at 500 mA g-1. Moreover, the integrated utilization of graphene and soft carbon derived from the low-cost petroleum pitch strongly promotes the electrical conductivity, structure stability, and reaction kinetics of Si NPs. Consequently, the synthesized Si@C/G with a Si loading of 54.7% delivers large reversible capacity (1191 mAh g-1at 500 mA g-1), long cycle life over 200 cycles (a capacity retention of 87.1%), and superior rate capability (952 mAh g-1at 1500 mA g-1). When coupled with a homemade LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2(NCM811) cathode in a full cell, it exhibits a promising cycling stability for 200 cycles. This work presents an innovative approach for the manufacture of Si-based anode materials with commercial application.

Abstract
Deleterious volumetric expansion and poor electrical conductivity seriously hinder the application of Si-based anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, boron-doped three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon framework/carbon shell encapsulated silicon (B-3DCF/Si@C) hybrid composites are successfully prepared by two coating and thermal treatment processes. The presence of 3D porous carbon skeleton and carbon shell effectively improves the mechanical properties of the B-3DCF/Si@C electrode during the cycling process, ensures the stability of the electrical contacts of the silicon particles and stabilizes the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer, thus enhancing the electronic conductivity and ion migration efficiency of the anode. The developed B-3DCF/Si@C anode has a high reversible capacity, excellent cycling stability and outstanding rate performance. A reversible capacity of 1288.5 mAh/g is maintained after 600 cycles at a current density of 400 mA g-1. The improved electrochemical performance is demonstrated in a full cell using a LiFePO4-based cathode. This study presents a novel approach that not only mitigates the large volume expansion effects in LIB anode materials, but also provides a reference model for the preparation of porous composites with various functionalities.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is regarded as one of the most promising anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, how to mitigate its poor intrinsic conductivity and the lithiation/delithiation-induced large volume change and thus structural degradation of Si electrodes without compromising their energy density is critical for the practical application of Si in LIBs. Herein, an integration strategy is proposed for preparing a compact micron-sized Si@G/CNF@NC composite with a tight binding and dual-encapsulated architecture that can endow it with superior electrical conductivity and deformation resistance, contributing to excellent cycling stability and good rate performance in thick electrode. At an ultrahigh mass loading of 10.8 mg cm-2 , the Si@G/CNF@NC electrode also presents a large initial areal capacity of 16.7 mA h cm-2 (volumetric capacity of 2197.7 mA h cm-3 ). When paired with LiNi0.95 Co0.02 Mn0.03 O2 , the pouch-type full battery displays a highly competitive gravimetric (volumetric) energy density of ≈459.1 Wh kg-1 (≈1235.4 Wh L-1 ).

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is considered the most promising anode material for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical specific capacity and abundant reserves. However, the volume expansion of silicon in the cycling process causes the destruction of the electrode structure and irreversible capacity loss. As a result, the commercial application of silicon materials is greatly hindered. In recent years, siloxane-based organosilicon materials have been widely used in silicon anode of LIBs because of their unique structure and physical and chemical properties, and have shown excellent electrochemical properties. The comprehensive achievement of siloxanes in silicon-based LIBs can be understood better through a systematic summary, which is necessary to guide the design of electrodes and achieve better electrochemical performance. This paper systematically introduces the unique advantages of siloxane materials in electrode, surface/interface modification, binder, and electrolyte. The challenges and future directions for siloxane materials are presented to enhance their performance and expand their application in silicon-based LIBs.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has been considered to be one of the most promising anode materials for high energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, low discharge platform, abundant raw materials and environmental friendliness. However, the large volume changes, unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation during cycling and intrinsic low conductivity of Si hinder its practical applications. Various modification strategies have been widely developed to enhance the lithium storage properties of Si-based anodes, including cycling stability and rate capabilities. In this review, recent modification methods to suppress structural collapse and electric conductivity are summarized in terms of structural design, oxide complexing and Si alloys, etc. Moreover, other performance enhancement factors, such as pre-lithiation, surface engineering and binders are briefly discussed. The mechanisms behind the performance enhancement of various Si-based composites characterized by in/ex situ techniques are also reviewed. Finally, we briefly highlight the existing challenges and future development prospects of Si-based anode materials.

Abstract
Owing to the rapid advancement of the photovoltaic industry, a lot of photovoltaic (PV) silicon waste will be generated. Thus, the recycling and reuse of waste silicon have become particularly important, both for environmental remediation and economic benefits. In this work, a special structure of porous Si nanoparticles embedded nano-Ag and coated carbon layer (P-SiNPs/Ag@C) was produced by silver-assisted chemical etching (Ag-ACE) the deposited silicon waste. The special porous structure and carbon layer coating can effectively address the volume expansion issues during charge/discharge. The intercalated Ag nanoparticles greatly reduced the transfer impedance and enhanced the electrical conductivity of the anode material. As a result, the novel-designed P-SiNPs/Ag@C anode can maintain a prominent reversible capacity (1521 mAh·g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 50 cycles) and outstanding rate performance (1099 mAh·g-1 at 2 A g-1). When the current density at 1 A g-1, the specific capacity still maintains at 706 mAh·g-1 over 300 cycles. The superiority of the prepared P-SiNPs/Ag@C structures was further confirmed by Comsol Multiphysics software. Impressively, the synthesis route provides a novel avenue for value-added utilization of residual silicon waste resources from EB refining silicon and the preparation of high-performance lithium battery silicon-based anode.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Silicon-carbon composites have been faced with the contact issues between silicon and carbon in the form of material aggregation and inferior dispersion, leading to electrode cracking or kinetic degradation during cycling. In addition to dispersion improvement from interfacial linkage between self-assembled Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) and carbon fibers (CNFs), the positive influences of high-content carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) (25 wt%) and amorphous carbon are also expected, respectively after the second-step self-assembly and subsequently sintering. EXPERIMENTS A novel composite (i.e. Si-CNF@C) with the decoration of entire SiNPs in the framework of both CNFs and amorphous carbon was prepared via two-step electrostatic self-assembly followed by sintering. Such a composite with heterogeneous nanostructure was used as a lithium-ion battery anode without additional binders or conductive agents. FINDINGS SiNPs can be well protected with CNFs and amorphous carbon against the dispersion and contact problems under both effects of electrostatic attraction and chemical bonding. With the double-protected heterostructure, such a novel Si-CNF@C electrode exhibits highly reversible capacities of 1200 mAh g-1, 982 mAh g-1, and 849 mAh g-1 after 100, 500, and 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1, respectively. The long-term cycling stability with a capacity loss of 0.036% per cycle over 1000 cycles is comparable.

Abstract
As the promising anode material of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), SiO2 has high theoretical capacity, but the volume expansion severely hinders its application. To address the challenge, inspired by the highly flexible spider-web architecture, the SiO2@carbonized polyaniline/carbonized 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (SiO2@cPANI/cTOCNFs) composite was designed, and fabricated via carbonizing the freeze-dried SiO2@PANI/TOCNFs. The resultant SiO2@cPANI/cTOCNFs composite exhibited unique spider-web-like nanostructures, providing a double-layer carbon network to protect SiO2 anode material. The results showed that, the SiO2@cPANI/cTOCNFs composite as anode material of LIBs offered a reversible capacity of 1103 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 after 200 cycles, and gave a capacity of 302 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1, exhibiting excellent cycling stability. This study provides a strategy of spider-web-inspired cellulose nanofibrils networking polyaniline-encapsulated silica nanoparticles as anode material of LIBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable silicon anode lithium ion batteries (SLIBs) have attracted tremendous attention because of their merits, including a high theoretical capacity, low working potential, and abundant natural sources. The past decade has witnessed significant developments in terms of extending the lifespan and maintaining high capacities of SLIBs. However, the detrimental issue of low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) toward SLIBs is causing more and more attention in recent years because ICE value is a core index in full battery design that profoundly determines the utilization of active materials and the weight of an assembled battery. Herein, a comprehensive review is presented of recent advances in solutions for improving ICE of SLIBs. From design perspectives, the strategies for boosting ICE of silicon anodes are systematically categorized into several aspects covering structure regulation, prelithiation, interfacial design, binder design, and electrolyte additives. The merits and challenges of various approaches are highlighted and discussed in detail, which provides valuable insights into the rational design and development of state-of-the-art techniques to deal with the deteriorative issue of low ICE of SLIBs. Furthermore, conclusions and future promising research prospects for lifting ICE of SLIBs are proposed at the end of the review.

Bai X, Zhang H, Lin J, Zhang G. UV-ozone contributions towards facile self-assembly and high performance of silicon-carbon fiber materials as lithium-ion battery anodes. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 598:339-347. [PMID: 33901857 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.04.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Si-carbon composites have been considered as next generation lithium-ion battery anodes, with a view to sufficiently exerting the respective superiorities of high specific capacity of Si as well as excellent mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity of carbon. However, direct blending of carbon with Si cannot obtain a synergy composite, resulting in inferior cycle properties during charge-discharge due to huge volume changes and deficient electron-conducting channels from the unavoidably aggregated Si. Herein, the composition of carbon fibers (CNFs) with Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) has been performed through UV-ozone surface modification followed by electrostatic self-assembly. It is found that solvent-free UV-ozone exposure of CNFs for 20 min successfully introduces carboxylic groups, as conventional acid treatment for 12 h. Besides UV-ozone surface modification provides an efficient and scalable route, the distribution and functionalization of CNFs can be also modified to effectively combine with amino-functionalized SiNPs. As a result, such Si-CNF composites containing 70.0 wt% SiNPs are able to exhibit excellent cycle performance with high coulombic efficiency of 74.8% at the 1st cycle and high specific discharge capacity of 1063 mAh g-1 at the 400th cycle.

Abstract
Sn-based materials have been popularly researched as anodes for energy storage due to their high theoretical capacity. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics and unsatisfied cycling stability caused by poor conductivity and dramatic volume expansion are still pivotal barriers for the development of Sn-based materials as anodes. In this work, the binary-metal Mn2SnO4 nanoparticles and Sn encapsulated in N-doped carbon (Sn@Mn2SnO4-NC) were fabricated by multistep reactions and employed as the anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The coexistence of binary metals (Sn and Mn) can improve intrinsic conductivity. Simultaneously, hollow architecture along with carbon relieves internal stress and prevents structural collapse. A Sn@Mn2SnO4-NC anode delivers an appealing capacity of 1039.5 mAh g-1 for 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and 823.8 mAh g-1 for 600 cycles at 1000 mA g-1 in LIBs. When evaluated as an anode in SIBs, the Sn@Mn2SnO4-NC anode tolerates up to 7000 cycles at 2000 mA g-1 and maintains a capacity of 185.8 mAh g-1. Quantified kinetic investigations demonstrate the high contribution of pseudocapacitive effects during the cycle process. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations further verify that introduction of the second metal (Mn) improves the conductivity of the material, which is favorable for charge transport. This work is expected to provide a feasible preparation strategy for binary-metal materials to enhance the performance of lithium- and sodium-ion batteries.
