Enhanced stability and kinetic performance of sandwich Si anode constructed by carbon nanotube and silicon carbide for lithium-ion battery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 670:204-214. [PMID: 38761573 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Owing to highly theoretical capacity of 3579 mAh/g for lithium-ion storage at ambient temperature, silicon (Si) becomes a promising anode material of high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the large volume change (∼300 %) during lithiation/delithiation and low conductivity of Si are challenging the commercial developments of LIBs with Si anode. Herein, a sandwich structure anode that Si nanoparticles sandwiched between carbon nanotube (CNT) and silicon carbide (SiC) has been successfully constructed by acetylene chemical vapor deposition and magnesiothermic reduction reaction technology. The SiC acts as a stiff layer to inhibit the volumetric stress from Si and the inner graphited CNT plays as the matrix to cushion the volumetric stress and as the conductor to transfer electrons. Moreover, the combination of SiC and CNT can relax the surface stress of carbonaceous interface to synergistically prevent the integrated structure from the degradation to avoid the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) reorganization. In addition, the SiC (111) surface has a strong ability to adsorb fluoroethylene carbonate molecule to further stabilize the SEI. Consequently, the CNT/SiNPs/SiC anode can stably supply the capacity of 1127.2 mAh/g at 0.5 A/g with a 95.6 % capacity retention rate after 200 cycles and an excellent rate capability of 745.5 mAh/g at 4.0 A/g and 85.5 % capacity retention rate after 1000 cycles. The present study could give a guide to develop the functional Si anode through designing a multi-interface with heterostructures.

Abstract
Porous Si (p-Si) nanomaterials are an exciting class of inexpensive and abundant materials within the field of energy storage. Specifically, p-Si has been explored in battery anodes to improve charge storage capacity, to generate clean fuels through photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical processes, for the stoichiometric conversion of CO2 to value added chemicals, and as a chemical H2 storage material. p-Si can be made from synthetic, natural, and waste SiO2 sources through a facile and inexpensive method called magnesiothermic reduction (MgTR). This yields a material with tunable properties and excellent energy storage capabilities. In order to tune the physical properties that affect performance metrics of p-Si, a deeper understanding of the mechanism of the MgTR and factors affecting it is required. In this perspective, we review the key developments in MgTR and discuss the thermal management strategies used to control the properties of p-Si. Additionally, we explore future research directions and approaches to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale experiments and industrial applications.

Abstract
While nanostructural engineering holds promise for improving the stability of high-capacity silicon (Si) anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), challenges like complex synthesis and the high cost of nano-Si impede its commercial application. In this study, we present a local reduction technique to synthesize micron-scale monolithic layered Si (10-20 μm) with a high tap density of 0.9-1.0 g cm-3 from cost-effective montmorillonite, a natural layered silicate mineral. The created mesoporous structure within each layer, combined with the void spaces between interlayers, effectively mitigates both lateral and vertical expansion throughout repeated lithiation/delithiation cycles. Furthermore, the remaining SiO2 network fortifies the layered structure, preventing it from collapsing during cycling. Half-cell tests reveal a capacity retention of 92% with a reversible capacity of 1130 mAh g-1 over 500 cycles. Moreover, the pouch cell integrated with this Si anode (with a mass loading of 3.0 mg cm-2) and a commercial NCM811 cathode delivers a high energy density of 655 Wh kg-1 (based on the total mass of the cathode and anode) and maintains 82% capacity after 200 cycles. This work demonstrates a cost-efficient and scalable strategy to manufacture high-performance micron Si anodes for the ever-growing demand for high-energy LIBs.

Abstract
The significant volume change experienced by silicon (Si) anodes during lithiation/delithiation cycles often triggers mechanical-electrochemical failures, undermining their utility in high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we propose a sub micro-nano-structured Si based material to address the persistent challenge of mechanic-electrochemical coupling issue during cycling. The mesoporous Si-based composite submicrospheres (M-Si/SiO2/CS) with a high Si/SiO2content of 84.6 wt.% is prepared by magnesiothermic reduction of mesoporous SiO2submicrospheres followed by carbon coating process. M-Si/SiO2/CS anode can maintain a high specific capacity of 740 mAh g-1at 0.5 A g-1after 100 cycles with a lower electrode thickness swelling rate of 63%, and exhibits a good long-term cycling stability of 570 mAh g-1at 1 A g-1after 250 cycles. This remarkable Li-storage performance can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the hierarchical structure and SiO2frameworks. The spherical structure mitigates stress/strain caused by the lithiation/delithiation, while the internal mesopores provide buffer space for Si expansion and obviously shorten the diffusion path for electrolyte/ions. Additionally, the amorphous SiO2matrix not only servers as support for structure stability, but also facilitates the rapid formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase layer. This unique architecture offers a potential model for designing high-performance Si-based anode for LIBs.

Abstract
In this study, spinel cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles without combining with any other metal atoms have been decorated through the influence of two hard templating agents, viz., zeolite-Y and carboxy-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNT). The adornment of the Co3O4 nanoparticles, through the combined impact of the aluminosilicate and carbon framework has resulted in quantum interference, causing the reversal of signatory Raman peaks of Co3O4. Apart from the construction of small Co3O4 nanoparticles at the interface of the two matrices, the particles were aligned along the direction of COOH-MWCNT. The catalyst Co3O4-Y-MWCNT exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in comparison to Co3O4-Y, Co3O4-MWCNT, and bared Co3O4 with the current density of 0.92 A mg-1 at an onset potential of 1.33 V versus RHE. The material demonstrated persistent electrocatalytic activity up to 300 potential cycles and 20,000 s without substantial current density loss. High surface area of zeolite-Y in combination with the excellent conductivity of the COOH-MWCNT enhanced the electrocatalytic performance of the catalyst. The simplicity of synthesis, scale-up, and remarkable electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst Co3O4-Y-MWCNT provided an effective way toward the development of anode materials for direct methanol fuel cells.

Abstract
Due to its extremely high theoretical mass specific capacity, silicon is considered to be the most promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, serious volume expansion and poor conductivity limit its commercial application. Herein, dealloying treatments of spray dryed Al-Si-Cu-Ni particles are performed to obtain a Cu/Ni co-doped Si-based anode material with a porous nanowire network structure. The porous structure enables the material to adapt to the volume changes in the cycle process. Moreover, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the co-doping of Cu and Ni can improve the capture ability towards Li, which can accelerate the electron migration rate of the material. Based on the above advantages, the as-prepared material presents excellent electrochemical performance, delivering a reversible capacity of 1092.4 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1. Even after 500 cycles, it still retains 818.7 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1. This study is expected to provide ideas for the preparation and optimization of Si-based anodes with good electrochemical performance.

Abstract
High-theoretical-capacity silicon anodes hold promise in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nevertheless, their huge volume expansion (∼300%) and poor conductivity show the need for the simultaneous introduction of low-density conductive carbon and nanosized Si to conquer the above issues, yet they result in low volumetric performance. Herein, we develop an integration strategy of a dually encapsulated Si structure and dense structural engineering to fabricate a three-dimensional (3D) highly dense Ti3C2Tx MXene and graphene dual-encapsulated Si monolith architecture (HD-Si@Ti3C2Tx@G). Because of its high density (1.6 g cm-3), high conductivity (151 S m-1), and 3D dense dual-encapsulated Si architecture, the resultant HD-Si@Ti3C2Tx@G monolith anode displays an ultrahigh volumetric capacity of 5206 mAh cm-3 (gravimetric capacity: 2892 mAh g-1) at 0.1 A g-1 and a superior long lifespan of 800 cycles at 1.0 A g-1. Notably, the thick and dense monolithic anode presents a large areal capacity of 17.9 mAh cm-2. In-situ TEM and ex-situ SEM techniques, and systematic kinetics and structural stability analysis during cycling demonstrate that such superior volumetric and areal performances stem from its dual-encapsulated Si architecture by the 3D conductive and elastic networks of MXene and graphene, which can provide fast electron and ion transfer, effective volume buffer, and good electrolyte permeability even with a thick electrode, whereas the dense structure results in a large volumetric performance. This work offers a simple and feasible strategy to greatly improve the volumetric and areal capacity of alloy-based anodes for large-scale applications via integrating a dual-encapsulated strategy and dense-structure engineering.

Abstract
Silicon monoxide (SiO) is an attractive anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for its ultra-high theoretical capacity of 2680 mAh g-1. The studies to date have been limited to electrodes with a relatively low mass loading (< 3.5 mg cm-2), which has seriously restricted the areal capacity and its potential in practical devices. Maximizing areal capacity with such high-capacity materials is critical for capitalizing their potential in practical technologies. Herein, we report a monolithic three-dimensional (3D) large-sheet holey graphene framework/SiO (LHGF/SiO) composite for high-mass-loading electrode. By specifically using large-sheet holey graphene building blocks, we construct LHGF with super-elasticity and exceptional mechanical robustness, which is essential for accommodating the large volume change of SiO and ensuring the structure integrity even at ultrahigh mass loading. Additionally, the 3D porous graphene network structure in LHGF ensures excellent electron and ion transport. By systematically tailoring microstructure design, we show the LHGF/SiO anode with a mass loading of 44 mg cm-2 delivers a high areal capacity of 35.4 mAh cm-2 at a current of 8.8 mA cm-2 and retains a capacity of 10.6 mAh cm-2 at 17.6 mA cm-2, greatly exceeding those of the state-of-the-art commercial or research devices. Furthermore, we show an LHGF/SiO anode with an ultra-high mass loading of 94 mg cm-2 delivers an unprecedented areal capacity up to 140.8 mAh cm-2. The achievement of such high areal capacities marks a critical step toward realizing the full potential of high-capacity alloy-type electrode materials in practical lithium-ion batteries.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:35051-35060. [PMID: 35493174 PMCID: PMC9042803 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra06643a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The printing of three-dimensional (3D) porous electrodes for Li-ion batteries is considered a key driver for the design and realization of advanced energy storage systems. While different 3D printing techniques offer great potential to design and develop 3D architectures, several factors need to be addressed to print 3D electrodes, maintaining an optimal trade-off between electrochemical and mechanical performances. Herein, we report the first demonstration of 3D printed Si-based electrodes fabricated using a simple and cost-effective fused deposition modelling (FDM) method, and implemented as anodes in Li-ion batteries. To fulfil the printability requirement while maximizing the electrochemical performance, the composition of the FDM filament has been engineered using polylactic acid as the host polymeric matrix, a mixture of carbon black-doped polypyrrole and wet-jet milling exfoliated few-layer graphene flakes as conductive additives, and Si nanoparticles as the active material. The creation of a continuous conductive network and the control of the structural properties at the nanoscale enabled the design and realization of flexible 3D printed anodes, reaching a specific capacity up to ∼345 mA h g-1 at the current density of 20 mA g-1, together with a capacity retention of 96% after 350 cycles. The obtained results are promising for the fabrication of flexible polymeric-based 3D energy storage devices to meet the challenges ahead for the design of next-generation electronic devices.

Abstract
To accelerate the commercial implementation of high-energy batteries, recent research thrusts have turned to the practicality of Si-based electrodes. Although numerous nanostructured Si-based materials with exceptional performance have been reported in the past 20 years, the practical development of high-energy Si-based batteries has been beset by the bias between industrial application with gravimetrical energy shortages and scientific research with volumetric limits. In this context, the microscale design of Si-based anodes with densified microstructure has been deemed as an impactful solution to tackle these critical issues. However, their large-scale application is plagued by inadequate cycling stability. In this review, we present the challenges in Si-based materials design and draw a realistic picture regarding practical electrode engineering. Critical appraisals of recent advances in microscale design of stable Si-based materials are presented, including interfacial tailoring of Si microscale electrode, surface modification of SiOx microscale electrode, and structural engineering of hierarchical microscale electrode. Thereafter, other practical metrics beyond active material are also explored, such as robust binder design, electrolyte exploration, prelithiation technology, and thick-electrode engineering. Finally, we provide a roadmap starting with material design and ending with the remaining challenges and integrated improvement strategies toward Si-based full cells.

Abstract
The demand for more efficient energy storage devices has led to the exponential growth of lithium-ion batteries. To overcome the limitations of these systems in terms of safety and to reduce environmental impact, solid-state technology emerges as a suitable approach. This work reports on a three-component solid polymer electrolyte system based on poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([BMIM][SCN]), and clinoptilolite zeolite (CPT). The influences of the preparation method and of the dopants on the electrolyte stability, ionic conductivity, and battery performance were studied. The developed electrolytes show an improved room temperature ionic conductivity (1.9 × 10-4 S cm-1), thermal stability (up to 300 °C), and mechanical stability. The corresponding batteries exhibit an outstanding room temperature performance of 160.3 mAh g-1 at a C/15-rate, with a capacity retention of 76% after 50 cycles. These results represent a step forward in a promising technology aiming the widespread implementation of solid-state batteries.

Abstract
SiOx is considered as a promising anode for next-generation Li-ions batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity; however, mechanical damage originated from volumetric variation during cycles, low intrinsic conductivity, and the complicated or toxic fabrication approaches critically hampered its practical application. Herein, a green, inexpensive, and scalable strategy was employed to fabricate NG/SiOx/NG (N-doped reduced graphene oxide) homogenous hybrids via a freeze-drying combined thermal decomposition method. The stable sandwich structure provided open channels for ion diffusion and relieved the mechanical stress originated from volumetric variation. The homogenous hybrids guaranteed the uniform and agglomeration-free distribution of SiOx into conductive substrate, which efficiently improved the electric conductivity of the electrodes, favoring the fast electrochemical kinetics and further relieving the volumetric variation during lithiation/delithiation. N doping modulated the disproportionation reaction of SiOx into Si and created more defects for ion storage, resulting in a high specific capacity. Deservedly, the prepared electrode exhibited a high specific capacity of 545 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1, a high areal capacity of 2.06 mAh cm-2 after 450 cycles at 1.5 mA cm-2 in half-cell and tolerable lithium storage performance in full-cell. The green, scalable synthesis strategy and prominent electrochemical performance made the NG/SiOx/NG electrode one of the most promising practicable anodes for LIBs.

Abstract
Silicon anode is considered as one of the candidates for graphite replacement due to its highest known theoretical capacity and abundant reserve on earth. However, poor cycling stability resulted from the “volume effect” in the continuous charge-discharge processes become the biggest barrier limiting silicon anodes development. To avoid the resultant damage to the silicon structure, some achievements have been made through constructing the structured space and pore design, and the cycling stability of the silicon anode has been improved. Here, progresses on designing nanostructured materials, constructing buffered spaces, and modifying surfaces/interfaces are mainly discussed and commented from spatial structure and pore generation for volumetric stress alleviation, ions transport, and electrons transfer improvement to screen out the most effective optimization strategies for development of silicon based anode materials with good property.

Abstract
Building a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is an effective method to enhance the performance of Si-based materials. However, the general strategy ignores the severe side reaction that originates from the penetration of the fluoride anion which influences the stability of the SEI. In this work, an analytical method is established to study the chemical reaction mechanism between the silicon and electrolyte by combining X-ray diffraction (XRD) with mass spectrometry (MS) technology. Additionally, a selective blocking layer coupling selectivity for the fluoride anion and a high conductivity is coated on the surface of silicon. With the protection of the selective blocking layer, the rate of the side reaction is decreased by 1700 times, and the corresponding SEI thickness is dwindled by 4 times. This work explores the mechanism of the intrinsic chemical reaction and provides future directions for improving Si-based anodes.

Abstract
The high-performance silicon (Si) composite electrodes are being widely developed due to their considerable theoretical capacity. Coating with carbon-based materials is an efficient way to solve the common issues of Si-based materials. Currently, most of the reported strategies are complicated, pollutive, or uneconomic, which hamper their practical applications. Herein, a honeycomb-like Si-based composite was prepared to address these issues via a facile and green reduction approach at room temperature. The pre-anchored Si nanoparticles could be packed and interconnected through a three-dimensional graphene network to further enhance the electrochemical properties of the active materials. As an electrode, this composite shows good rate capabilities upon lithium storage and cycling stability. The continued cycling measurement delivers a -0.049% capacity decay rate per cycle within 600 cycles. A direct comparison further exhibits the obviously improved performance between the as-designed Si-based composite and naked Si, suggesting a potential application of this convenient strategy for other high-performance electrode materials.

Abstract
The successful commercialization of promising silicon-based anode materials has been hampered by their poor cycling stability caused by the huge volume change. Integration of the carbon matrix with silicon-based (C/Si-based) anode materials has been demonstrated to be a powerful solution to achieve satisfactory electrochemical performance. This minireview aims to outline recent developments on C/Si-based composites, with the emphasis on the importance of carbon distribution at multiple scales. In addition, the forms of the carbon framework (carbon sources and doping of heteroatoms) have been summarized. Particularly, a novel C/Si-based hybrid with carbon distributed at the atomic scale has been highlighted.

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 application of Si-based anode materials is hindered by their extreme volume change, poor cycling stability, and low coulombic efficiency. Solving these problems generally requires a combination of strategies, such as nanostructure designing or surface coating. However, these strategies increase the difficulty of the fabrication process. Herein, a simple and one-pot replacement reaction route was designed to produce an Al2O3 layer anchored on mesoporous Si nanospheres (Si@Al2O3) by employing Al nanospheres with a naturally formed Al2O3 layer as a reducing agent and self-sacrificial template. The obtained Si@Al2O3 was mesoporous, with enough porous space to buffer the volume change and provide a fast lithium ion transfer channel. Furthermore, the coated Al2O3 layer could stabilize the structure and SEI layer of the mesoporous Si nanospheres, endowing the Si@Al2O3 nanospheres with improved initial coulombic efficiency, cycling performance and rate capability. As a result, a high capacity of 1750.2 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 120 cycles and 1001.7 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 500 cycles were delivered for lithium ion batteries. The good performance could be attributed to the mesoporous structure and the outer-coated Al2O3 layer.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) are of considerable interest for future energy storage. Their main limitation, however, is developing suitable cathode materials capable of sustaining the Zn2+ repeated intercalation/deintercalation. Herein, a three-dimensional polypyrrole (PPy)-encapsulated Mn2O3 composite architecture is developed for advanced ZIBs. The engineering can be easily realized via in situ phase transformation of MnCO3 microboxes with subsequent self-initiated polymerization of PPy. The abundant open-up pores (∼30 nm) throughout the construction accelerate ion migration and provide a more active interface for Zn2+ storage in the Mn2O3@PPy bulk electrode. Meanwhile, the PPy skin uniformly wrapped on the Mn2O3 microbox not only guarantees a good conductive network for faster electron transport but also inhibits the dissolution of Mn2O3 and protects the integrity of the electrode from structural damage. As a result, the Mn2O3@PPy electrode can operate at reversible capacity exceeding those of most other cathode materials, but can still provide longer lifetime (no capacity decay over 2000 cycles at 0.4 A g-1) and higher rate performance than others. Furthermore, theoretical studies show the H+ and Zn2+ coinsertion storage mechanism and reaction dynamics. The results show that this three-dimensional Mn2O3@PPy architecture is a promising cathode material for high-performance ZIBs.

Abstract
A new strategy has been innovatively proposed for wrapping the Ni-incorporated and N-doped carbon nanotube arrays (Ni-NCNTs) on porous Si with robust Ni-Si interfacial bonding to form the core-shell-structured NCNTs-Ni2Si@Si. The hierarchical porous silicon core was first fabricated via a novel self-templating synthesis route based on two crucial strategies: in situ thermal evaporation of crystal water from the perlite for producing porous SiO2 and subsequent magnesiothermic reduction of porous SiO2 into porous Si. Ni-NCNTs were subsequently constructed based on the Ni-catalyzed tip-growth mechanism and were further engineered to fully wrap the porous Si microparticles by forming the Ni2Si alloy at the heterojunction interface. When the prepared NCNTs-Ni2Si@Si was evaluated as the anode material for Li-ion batteries, the hierarchical porous system in the Si core and the rich void spaces in carbon nanotube arrays contributed to the remarkable accommodation of volume expansion of Si as well as the significant increase of Li+ diffusion and Si utilization. Moreover, the Ni2Si alloy, which chemically linked the Ni-NCNTs and porous Si, not only provided good electronic contact between the Si core and carbon shell but also effectively prevented the CNTs' detachment from the Si core during cycling. The multifunctional structural design rendered the whole electrode highly stable and active in Li storage, and the electrochemically active NCNTs-Ni2Si@Si electrode delivered a high reversible capacity of 1547 mAh g-1 and excellent cycling stability (85% capacity retention after 600 discharge-charge cycles) at a current density of 358 mA g-1 (0.1 C) as well as good rate performance (778 mAh g-1 at 2 C), showing great potential as an efficient and stable anode for high energy density Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Although silicon is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries, scalable synthesis of silicon anodes with good cyclability and low electrode swelling remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report a scalable top-down technique to produce ant-nest-like porous silicon from magnesium-silicon alloy. The ant-nest-like porous silicon comprising three-dimensional interconnected silicon nanoligaments and bicontinuous nanopores can prevent pulverization and accommodate volume expansion during cycling resulting in negligible particle-level outward expansion. The carbon-coated porous silicon anode delivers a high capacity of 1,271 mAh g−1 at 2,100 mA g−1 with 90% capacity retention after 1,000 cycles and has a low electrode swelling of 17.8% at a high areal capacity of 5.1 mAh cm−2. The full cell with the prelithiated silicon anode and Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 cathode boasts a high energy density of 502 Wh Kg−1 and 84% capacity retention after 400 cycles. This work provides insights into the rational design of alloy anodes for high-energy batteries. Silicon is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries but experiences large volume changes during cycling. Here the authors report a scalable method to synthesize porous ant-nest-like silicons. The unique structure of this anode solves the swelling problem and enables impressive performance.

Abstract
A design of coaxial hollow nanocables of carbon nanotubes and silicon composite (CNTs@Silicon) was presented, and the lithiation/delithiation behavior was investigated. The FIB-SEM studies demonstrated hollow structured silicon tends to expand inward and shrink outward during lithiation/delithiation, which reveal the mechanism of inhibitive effect of the excessive growth of solid-electrolyte interface by hollow structured silicon. The as-prepared coaxial hollow nanocables demonstrate an impressive reversible specific capacity of 1150 mAh g-1 over 500 cycles, giving an average Coulombic efficiency of >99.9%. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the SEI film excessive growth is prevented.
