Abstract
The development and application of flexible electrodes with extended cycle life have long been a focal point in the field of energy research. In this study, positively charged polyethylene imine (PEI) and conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) with negative charge were alternately deposited onto a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) porous material utilizing pressure gradient-assisted layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technology. The flexible substrate, characterized by a three-dimensional porous structure reinforced with stiff CNF, not only facilitated high charge storage but also enhanced the electrode's cycling life by reducing the volume changes of PEDOT:PSS. Furthermore, the exceptional wettability of PEI by the electrolyte could promote efficient charge transport within the electrode. The electrode with 10 PEI/PEDOT:PSS bilayer exhibits a capacitance of 63.71 F g-1 at the scan rate of 5 mV s-1 and a remarkable capacitance retention of 128 % after 3000 charge-discharge cycles. The investigation into the nanoscale layers of the LbL multilayer structure indicated that the exceptional cyclic performance was primarily attributed to the spatial constraints imposed by the rigid porous substrate layered structure on the deformation of PEDOT:PSS. This work is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of electrodes with high charge storage capacity and ultra-long cycling life.

Abstract
Densification of the electrode by calendering is essential for achieving high-energy density in lithium-ion batteries. However, Si anode, which is regarded as the most promising high-energy substituent of graphite, is vulnerable to the crack during calendering process due to its intrinsic brittleness. Herein, a distinct strategy to prevent the crack and pulverization of Si nanolayer-embedded Graphite (Si/G) composite with graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) is proposed. The thickly coated GNP layer on Si/G by simple mechanofusion process imparts exceptional mechanical strength and lubricative characteristic to the Si/G composite, preventing the crack and pulverization of Si nanolayer against strong external force during calendering process. Accordingly, GNP coated Si/G (GNP-Si/G) composite demonstrates excellent electrochemical performances including superior cycling stability (15.6% higher capacity retention than P-Si/G after 300 cycles in the full-cell) and rate capability under the industrial testing condition including high electrode density (>1.6 g cm-3) and high areal capacity (>3.5 mAh cm-2). The material design provides a critical insight for practical approach to resolve the fragile properties of Si/G composite during calendering process.

Abstract
Silicon oxide-based (SiOx-based) materials show great promise as anodes for high-energy lithium-ion batteries due to their high specific capacity. However, their practical application is hindered by the inevitable volumetric expansion during the lithiation/delithiation process. Constructing high-performance binders for SiOx-based anodes has been regarded as an efficient strategy to mitigate their volume expansion and preserve structural integrity. In this work, we propose a green water-solution PAA-LS binder composed of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and sodium lignosulfonate (LS) with fast self-healing properties. The designed binder can be restored due to the strong affinity between Fe3+-catechol coordination bonds, thereby effectively alleviating the volumetric strain of SiOx-based anodes. Notably, with an optimized LS content of 0.5%, the SiOx@PAA-LS electrode exhibits excellent performance, delivering a high capacity of 997.3 mAh g-1 after 450 cycles at 0.5 A g-1. Furthermore, the SiOx||NCM622 full cell also demonstrates superior cycling stability, maintaining a discharge capacity of 147.58 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g-1, with an impressive capacity retention rate of 82.72%.

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.

Stress-Relieving Carboxylated Polythiophene/Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Conductive Layer for Stable Silicon Microparticle Anodes in Lithium-Ion Batteries. ACS APPLIED ENERGY MATERIALS 2024; 7:7220-7231.

Abstract
Stress-relieving and electrically conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and conjugated polymer, poly[3-(potassium-4-butanoate)thiophene] (PPBT), wrapped silicon microparticles (Si MPs) have been developed as a composite active material to overcome technical challenges such as intrinsically low electrical conductivity, low initial Coulombic efficiency, and stress-induced fracture due to severe volume changes of Si-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The PPBT/SWNT protective layer surrounding the surface of the microparticles physically limits volume changes and inhibits continuous solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer formation that leads to severe pulverization and capacity loss during cycling, thereby maintaining electrode integrity. PPBT/SWNT-coated Si MP anodes exhibited high initial Coulombic efficiency (85%) and stable capacity retention (0.027% decay per cycle) with a reversible capacity of 1894 mA h g-1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 2 A g-1, 3.3 times higher than pristine Si MP anodes. The stress relaxation and underlying mechanism associated with the incorporation of the PPBT/SWNT layer were interpreted by quasi-deterministic and quantitative stress analyses of SWNTs through in situ Raman spectroscopy. PPBT/SWNT@Si MP anodes can maintain reversible stress recovery and 45% less variation in tensile stress compared with SWNT@Si MP anodes during cycling. The results verify the benefits of stress relaxation via a protective capping layer and present an efficient strategy to achieve long cycle life for Si-based anodes for next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is considered as one of the most potential commercial materials for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high theoretical capacity and low voltage platform. However, the severe volume expansion and poor electric conductivity of Si anodes limit the practical application. Herein, a hierarchical porous hard carbon@Si@soft carbon (PHC@Si@SC) material was prepared by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and following calcination process. The differences in capacities and initial Coulombic efficiencies (ICEs) resulting from variations in silane deposition are demonstrated using PHC@Si as a model. To improve the cycling performance, a cheap pitch-derived soft carbon was introduced to protect the nano-Si to suppress the volume expansion. The formed PHC@Si@SC anode delivers a high capacity of 1625 mAh g-1 and a high ICE of 86.8%, attributed to the excellent cooperation of hard and soft carbon. The capacity retention is 55% after 100 cycles with a harsh N/P ratio of 1.1 in a PHC@Si@SC||NCM811 full cell. This work provides a strategy, which is easy to scale up for practical application.

Abstract
High Li-storage-capacity particles such as alloying-based anodes (Si, Sn, Ge, etc.) are core components for next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs) but are crippled by their intrinsic volume expansion issues. While pore pre-plantation represents a mainstream solution, seldom do this strategy fully satisfy the requirements in practical LIBs. One prominent issue is that porous particles reduce electrode density and negate volumetric performance (Wh L-1) despite aggressive electrode densification strategies. Moreover, the additional liquid electrolyte dosage resulting from porosity increase is rarely noticed, which has a significant negative impact on cell gravimetric energy density (Wh kg-1). Here, the concept of judicious porosity control is introduced to recalibrate existing particle design principles in order to concurrently boost gravimetric and volumetric performance, while also maintaining the battery's cycle life. The critical is emphasized but often neglected role that intraparticle pores play in dictating battery performance, and also highlight the superiority of closed pores over the open pores that are more commonly referred to in the literature. While the analysis and case studies focus on silicon-carbon composites, the overall conclusions apply to the broad class of alloying anode chemistries.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the β-polymorph of zinc dicyanamide, Zn[N(CN)2]2, can be efficiently used as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. Zn[N(CN)2]2 exhibits an unconventional increased capacity upon cycling with a maximum capacity of about 650 mAh·g-1 after 250 cycles at 0.5C, an increase of almost 250%, and then maintaining a large reversible capacity of more than 600 mAh·g-1 for 150 cycles. Such an increased capacity is primarily attributed to the increased level of activity in the conversion reaction. A combination of conversion-type and alloy-type mechanisms is revealed in this anode material via advanced characterization studies and theoretical calculations. This mechanism, observed here for the first time in transition-metal dicyanamides, is probably responsible for the outstanding electrochemical performance. We believe that this study guides the development of new high-capacity anode materials.

Abstract
To effectively solve the challenges of rapid capacity decay and electrode crushing of silicon-carbon (Si-C) anodes, it is crucial to carefully optimize the structure of Si-C active materials and enhance their electron/ion transport dynamic in the electrode. Herein, a unique hybrid structure microsphere of Si/C/CNTs/Cu with surface wrinkles is prepared through a simple ultrasonic atomization pyrolysis and calcination method. Low-cost nanoscale Si waste is embedded into the pyrolysis carbon matrix, cleverly combined with the flexible electrical conductivity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and copper (Cu) particles, enhancing both the crack resistance and transport kinetics of the entire electrode material. Remarkably, as a lithium-ion battery anode, the fabricated Si/C/CNTs/Cu electrode exhibits stable cycling for up to 2300 cycles even at a current of 2.0 A g-1, retaining a capacity of ≈700 mAh g-1, with a retention rate of 100% compared to the cycling started at a current of 2.0 A g-1. Additionally, when paired with an NCM523 cathode, the full cell exhibits a capacity of 135 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 1.0 C. Therefore, this synthesis strategy provides insights into the design of long-life, practical anode electrode materials with micro/nano-spherical hybrid structures.

Abstract
The poor bulk-phase and interphase stability, attributable to adverse internal stress, impede the cycling performance of silicon microparticles (µSi) anodes and the commercial application for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. In this work, a groundbreaking gradient-hierarchically ordered conductive (GHOC) network structure, ingeniously engineered to enhance the stability of both bulk-phase and the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) configurations of µSi, is proposed. Within the GHOC network architecture, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (Ti3C2Tx) act as a conductive "brick", establishing a highly conductive inner layer on µSi, while the porous outer layer, composed of one-dimensional (1D) Tempo-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TCNF) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) macromolecule, functions akin to structural "rebar" and "concrete", effectively preserves the tightly interconnected conductive framework through multiple bonding mechanisms, including covalent and hydrogen bonds. Additionally, Ti3C2Tx enhances the development of a LiF-enriched SEI. Consequently, the µSi-MTCNF-PAA anode presents a high discharge capacity of 1413.7 mAh g-1 even after 500 cycles at 1.0 C. Moreover, a full cell, integrating LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 with µSi-MTCNF-PAA, exhibits a capacity retention rate of 92.0% following 50 cycles. This GHOC network structure can offer an efficacious pathway for stabilizing both the bulk-phase and interphase structure of anode materials with high volumetric strain.

Abstract
Constructing a stable and robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) has a decisive influence on the charge/discharge kinetics of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), especially for silicon-based anodes which generate repeated destruction and regeneration of unstable SEI films. Herein, a facile way is proposed to fabricate an artificial SEI layer composed of lithiophilic chitosan on the surface of two-dimensional siloxene, which has aroused wide attention as an advanced anode for LIBs due to its special characteristics. The optimized chitosan-modified siloxene anode exhibits an excellent reversible cyclic stability of about 672.6 mAh g-1 at a current density of 1000 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and 139.9 mAh g-1 at 6000 mA g-1 for 1200 cycles. Further investigation shows that a stable and LiF-rich SEI film is formed and can effectively adhere to the surface during cycling, redistribute lithium-ion flux, and enable a relatively homogenous lithium-ion diffusion. This work provides constructive guidance for interface engineering strategy of nano-structured silicon anodes.

Abstract
Grafted biopolymer binders are demonstrated to improve the processability and cycling stability of the silicon (Si) nanoparticle anodes. However, there is little systematical exploration regarding the relationship between grafting density and performance of grafted binder for Si anodes, especially when Si particles exceed the critical breaking size. Herein, a series of guar gum grafted polyacrylamide (GP) binders with different grafting densities are designed and prepared to determine the optimal grafting density for maximizing the electrochemical performance of Si submicroparticle (SiSMP) anodes. Among various GP binders, GP5 with recommended grafting density demonstrates the strongest adhesion strength, best mechanical properties, and highest intrinsic ionic conductivity. These characteristics enable the SiSMP electrodes to sustain the electrode integrity and accelerate lithium-ion transport kinetics during cycling, resulting in high capacity and stable cyclability. The superior role of GP5 binder in enabling robust structure and stable interface of SiSMP electrodes is revealed through the PeakForce atomic force microscopy and in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the stable cyclabilities of high-loading SiSMP@GP5 electrode with ultralow GP5 content (1 wt%) at high areal capacity as well as the good cyclability of Ah-level LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2/SiSMP@GP5 pouch cell strongly confirms the practical viability of the GP5 binder.

Abstract
In conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the active lithium from the lithium-containing cathode is consumed by the formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) at the anode during the first charge, resulting in irreversible capacity loss. Prelithiation additives can provide additional active lithium to effectively compensate for lithium loss. Lithium oxalate is regarded as a promising ideal cathode prelithiation agent; however, the electrochemical decomposition of lithium oxalate is challenging. In this work, a hollow and porous composite microsphere was prepared using a mixture of lithium oxalate, Ketjen Black and transition metal oxide catalyst, and the formulation was optimized. Owing to the compositional and structural merits, the decomposition voltage of lithium oxalate in the microsphere was reduced to 3.93 V; when being used as an additive, there is no noticeable side effect on the performance of the cathode material. With 4.2% of such an additive, the first discharge capacity of the LiFePO4‖graphite full cell increases from 139.1 to 151.9 mAh g-1, and the coulombic efficiency increases from 88.1% to 96.3%; it also facilitates the formation of a superior SEI, leading to enhanced cycling stability. This work provides an optimized formula for developing an efficient prelithiation agent for LIBs.

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
Silicon is a promising next-generation anode to increase energy density over commercial graphite anodes, but calendar life remains problematic. In this work, scanning electrochemical microscopy was used to track the site-specific reactivity of a silicon thin film surface over time to determine if undesirable Faradaic reactions were occurring at the formed solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) during calendar aging in four case scenarios: formation between 1.5 V and 100 mV with subsequent rest starting at (1) 1.5 V and (2) 100 mV and formation between 0.75 V and 100 mV with subsequent rest starting at (3) 0.75 V and (4) 100 mV. In all cases, the electrical passivation of silicon decreased with increasing time and potential relative to Li/Li+ over a 3 day period. Along with the decrease in passivation, the homogeneity of passivation over a 500 μm2 area decreased with time. Despite some local "hot spots" of reactivity, the areal uniformity of passivation suggests global SEI failure (e.g., SEI dissolution) rather than localized (e.g., cracking) failure. The silicon delithiated to 1.5 V vs Li/Li+ was less passivated than the lithiated silicon (at the beginning of rest, the forward rate constants, kf, for ferrocene redox were 7.19 × 10-5 and 3.17 × 10-7 m/s, respectively) and was also found to be more reactive than the pristine silicon surface (kf of 5 × 10-5 m/s). This reactivity was likely the result of SEI oxidation. When the cell was only delithiated up to 0.75 V versus Li/Li+, the surface was still passivating (kf of 6.11 × 10-6 m/s), but still less so than the lithiated surface (kf of 3.03 × 10-9 m/s). This indicates that the potential of the anode should be kept at or below ∼0.75 V vs Li/Li+ to prevent decreasing SEI passivation. This information will help with tuning the voltage windows for prelithiation in Si half cells and the operating voltage of Si full cells to optimize calendar life. The results provided should encourage the research community to investigate chemical, rather than mechanical, modes of failure during calendar aging and to stop using the typical convention of 1.5 V as a cutoff potential for cycling Si in half cells.

Abstract
Nanowire (NW)-based anodes for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have been under investigation for more than a decade, with their unique one-dimensional (1D) morphologies and ability to transform into interconnected active material networks offering potential for enhanced cycling stability with high capacity. This is particularly true for silicon (Si)-based anodes, where issues related to large volumetric expansion can be partially mitigated and the cycle life can be enhanced. In this Perspective, we highlight the trajectory of Si NWs from a model system to practical Li-ion battery anode material and future prospects for extension to beyond Li-ion batteries. The study examines key research areas related to Si NW-based anodes, including state-of-the-art (SoA) characterization approaches followed by practical anode design considerations, including NW composite anode formation and upscaling/full-cell considerations. An outlook on the practical prospects of NW-based anodes and some future directions for study are detailed.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is regarded as a promising anode material because of its outstanding theoretical capacity, abundant existence, and mature infrastructure, but it suffers from an inherent volume expansion problem. Herein, a facile, scalable, and cost-effective route to produce Si nanosheets (Si NSs) using a low-cost silica fume as the start materials is proposed. After coated with carbon, the as-prepared Si-NSs@C material delivers ultrahigh capability (2770 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C), high initial Coulombic efficiency (87.9%), and long cycling lifespan (100 cycles at 0.5 C with a capacity decay rate of 0.3% per cycle). Beyond proof of concept, this work demonstrates a Si-NSs based pouch cell with an impressive capacity retention of 70.9% after 400 cycles, making it more promising for practical application. Revealed by the theoretical simulation, kinetics analysis, and in situ thickness/pressure detection, it is found that the superior performance of Si-NSs is attributed to the improved diffusivity and reversibility of Li+ ions and low expansion.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) stands out as a highly promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, its low intrinsic conductivity and the severe volume changes during the lithiation/delithiation process adversely affect cycling stability and hinder commercial viability. Rational design of electrode architecture to enhance charge transfer and optimize stress distribution of Si is a transformative way to enhance cycling stability, which still remains a great challenge. In this work, we fabricated a stable integrated Si electrode by combining two-dimensional graphene sheets (G), one-dimensional Si nanowires (SiNW), and carbon nanotubes (CNT) through the cyclization process of polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The integrated electrode features a G/SiNW framework enveloped by a conformal coating consisting of cyclized PAN (cPAN) and CNT. This configuration establishes interconnected electron and lithium-ion transport channels, coupled with a rigid-flexible encapsulated coating, ensuring both high conductivity and resistance against the substantial volume changes in the electrode. The unique multidimensional structural design enhances the rate performance, cyclability, and structural stability of the integrated electrode, yielding a gravimetric capacity (based on the total mass of the electrode) of 650 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 3.0 A g-1. When paired with a commercial LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 cathode, the resulting full cell retains 84.8% of its capacity after 160 cycles at 2.0 C and achieves an impressive energy density of 435 Wh kg-1 at 0.5 C, indicating significant potential for practical applications. This study offers valuable insights into comprehensive electrode structure design at the electrode level for Si-based materials.

Abstract
Propelled by the widespread adoption of portable electronic devices, electrochemical energy storage systems, particularly lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), have become ubiquitous in modern society. The electrode is the critical battery component, where intricate interactions between the materials govern both the energy output and the overall lifespan of the battery under operational conditions. However, the poor interfacial properties of traditional electrode materials fall short in meeting escalating performance demands. To facilitate the advent of next-generation lithium-ion batteries, attention must be devoted to the interfacial chemistry that dictates and modulates the various dynamic and transport processes across multiple length scales within the composite electrodes. Recent research has concentrated on systematically understanding the properties of distinct electrode components to engineer meticulously tailored electrode formulations. These are geared towards composite electrodes with heightened chemical stability, thermal robustness, enhanced local conductivities, and superior mechanical resilience. This review elucidates the latest advances in understanding the impact of interfacial interactions in achieving high-capacity, high-stability electrodes. Through comprehensive insights into the interfacial interactions between the various electrode components, we can create improved integrated systems that outperform those developed through empirical methods. In light of this, the adoption of a holistic approach to enhance the interactions among electrode materials becomes of paramount importance. This concerted effort ensures the attainment of heightened rate capability, facilitation of lithium-ion transport, and overall system stability throughout the entirety of the cyclic process.

Abstract
Si-based anode materials have a relatively high theoretical specific capacity and low operating voltage, greatly enhancing the energy density of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their practical application is seriously hindered by the instability of active particles and anode electrodes caused by the huge swelling during cycling. How to maintain the stability of the charge transfer network and interface structure of Si particles is full of challenges. To address this issue, we have developed a novel Si@Fe3O4/AC/CNR anode by in-situ growing one-dimensional high elastic carbon nano-ribbons to wrap Si nanoparticles. This special structure can construct fast channels of electron transport and lithium ion diffusion, and stabilize the surface structure of Si nanoparticles during cycling. With these promising architectural features, the Si@Fe3O4/AC/CNR composite possesses a high specific capacity of 1279.4 mAh/g at 0.5 A/g, and a superior cycling life with 80 % capacity retention after 700 cycles. Even at a high current density of 20.0 A/g, the composite still delivers a capacity of 621.2 mAh/g. The facile synthetic approach and high performance of Si@Fe3O4/AC/CNR anodes provide practical insight into advanced anode materials with large volume expansion for high-energy-density LIBs.

Abstract
Currently, Si (or SiOx, 1 < x < 2) and graphite composite (Si/C) electrodes (e.g., Si/C450 and Si/C600 with specific capacities of 450 and 600 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, respectively) have become the most promising alternative to traditional graphite anodes toward high-energy lithium-ion battery (LIB) applications by virtue of their higher specific capacity compared to graphite ones and improved cycle performance compared to Si (or SiOx) ones. However, such composite electrodes remain challenging to practical for implementation owing to electrode structure disintegration and interfacial instability caused by a large volume change of inner Si-based particles. Herein, we develop a covalent-bond cross-linking network binder for Si/C450 and Si/C600 electrodes via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The as-developed binder with a 3 mol % cross-linker of other monomers [termed P(SH-BA3%)] achieves improved mechanical and adhesive properties and decreased Si/C anode volume expansion, compared to the linear binder counterpart. Impressively, the P(SH-BA3%) binder at only 3 wt % dosage enables 83.56% capacity retention after 600 cycles at 0.5 C in Si/C450 anode based half-cells and retains 86.42% capacity retention at 0.3 C after 200 cycles and 80.95% capacity retention at 0.5 C after 300 cycles in LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode (15 mg cm-2) based homemade soft package full cells. This work provides insight into binder cross-linking chemistry under limited dosage and enlightens cross-linking binder design toward practical Si/C electrode applications.

Abstract
The scalable development of an environmentally adaptive and homogeneous Li+ supplementary route remains a formidable challenge for the existing prelithiation technologies, restricting the full potential of high-capacity anodes. In this study, we present a moisture-tolerant interfacial prelithiation approach through casting a hydrophobic poly(vinylidene-co-hexafluoropropylene) membrane blended with a deep-lithiated alloy (Li22Si5@C/PVDF-HFP) onto Si based anodes. This strategy could not only extend to various high-capacity anode systems (SiOx@C, hard carbon) but also align with industrial roll-to-roll assembly processes. By carefully adjusting the thickness of the prelithiation layer, the densely packed Si@C electrode (4.5 mAh cm-2) exhibits significantly improved initial Coulombic efficiency until a close-to-unit value, as well as extreme moisture tolerance (60% relative humidity). Furthermore, it achieves more than 10-fold enhancement of ionic conductivity across the electrode. As pairing the prelithiated Si@C anode with the LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode, the 2 Ah pouch-format prototype balances an energy density of ∼371 Wh kg-1 and an extreme power output of 2450 W kg-1 as well as 83.8% capacity retention for 1000 cycles. The combined operando phase tracking and spatial arrangement analysis of the intermediate alloy elucidate that the enhanced Li utilization derives from the gradient stress dissipation model upon a spontaneous Li+ redistribution process.

Abstract
With the accelerated penetration of the global electric vehicle market, the demand for fast charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that enable improvement of user driving efficiency and user experience is becoming increasingly significant. Robust ion/electron transport paths throughout the electrode have played a pivotal role in the progress of fast charging LIBs. Yet traditional graphite anodes lack fast ion transport channels, which suffer extremely elevated overpotential at ultrafast power outputs, resulting in lithium dendrite growth, capacity decay, and safety issues. In recent years, emergent multiscale porous anodes dedicated to building efficient ion transport channels on multiple scales offer opportunities for fast charging anodes. This review survey covers the recent advances of the emerging multiscale porous anodes for fast charging LIBs. It starts by clarifying how pore parameters such as porosity, tortuosity, and gradient affect the fast charging ability from an electrochemical kinetic perspective. We then present an overview of efforts to implement multiscale porous anodes at both material and electrode levels in diverse types of anode materials. Moreover, we critically evaluate the essential merits and limitations of several quintessential fast charging porous anodes from a practical viewpoint. Finally, we highlight the challenges and future prospects of multiscale porous fast charging anode design associated with materials and electrodes as well as crucial issues faced by the battery and management level.

Abstract
Alloying-type metallic tin is perceived as a potential anode material for K-ion batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity and reasonable working potential. However, pure Sn still face intractable issues of inferior K+ storage capability owing to the mechanical degradation of electrode against large volume changes and formation of intermediary insulating phases K4 Sn9 and KSn during alloying reaction. Herein, the TiC/C-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is prepared as an effective buffer matrix and composited with Sn particles (Sn-TiC/C-CNTs) through the high-energy ball-milling method. Owing to the conductive and rigid properties, the TiC/C-CNTs matrix enhances the electrical conductivity as well as mechanical integrity of Sn in the composite material and thus ultimately contributes to performance supremacy in terms of electrochemical K+ storage properties. During potassiation process, the TiC/C-CNTs matrix not only dissipates the internal stress toward random radial orientations within the Sn particle but also provides electrical pathways for the intermediate insulating phases; this tends to reduce microcracking and prevent considerable electrode degradation.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries comprising Si anodes are promising materials for energy storage in electronic vehicles because their energy density is approximately 1.7 times higher than that of graphite anodes. However, Si undergoes severe volume changes during cycling, resulting in the loss of electronic and ionic conduction pathways and rapid capacity fading. To address this challenge, we developed composite anodes with a nanoporous Si fiber network structure in sulfide-based solid electrolytes (SEs) and conductive additives. Nanoporous Si fibers were fabricated by electrospinning, followed by magnesiothermic reduction. The total pore volume of the fibers allowed pore shrinkage to compensate for the volumetric expansion of Li12Si7, thereby suppressing outward expansion and preserving the Si-SE (or conductive additive) interface. The network structure of the lithiated Si fibers compensates for electronic and ionic conduction pathways even to the partially delaminated areas, leading to increased Si utilization. The anodes exhibited superior performance, achieving an initial Coulombic efficiency of 71%, a reversible capacity of 1474 mAh g-1, and capacity retention of 85% after 40 cycles with an industrially acceptable areal capacity of 1.3 mAh cm-2. The proposed approach can reduce the constraint pressure during charging/discharging and may have practical applications in large-area all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received increasing attention because of their appealing cell voltages and cost-effective features. However, the atom aggregation and electrode volume variation inevitably deteriorate the sodium storage kinetics. Here a new strategy is proposed to boost the lifetime of SIB by synthesizing sea urchin-like FeSe2 /nitrogen-doped carbon (FeSe2 /NC) composites. The robust FeN coordination hinders the Fe atom aggregation and accommodates the volume expansion, while the unique biomorphic morphology and high conductivity of FeSe2 /NC enhance the intercalation/deintercalation kinetics and shorten the ion/electron diffusion length. As expected, FeSe2 /NC electrodes deliver excellent half (387.6 mAh g-1 at 20.0 A g-1 after 56 000 cycles) and full (203.5 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 1200 cycles) cell performances. Impressively, an ultralong lifetime of SIB composed of FeSe2 /Fe3 Se4 /NC anode is uncovered with the cycle number exceeding 65 000. The sodium storage mechanism is clarified with the aid of density function theory calculations and in situ characterizations. This work hereby provides a new paradigm for enhancing the lifetime of SIB by constructing a unique coordination environment between active material and framework.

Abstract
Although vascular stents have been widely used in clinical practice, there is still a risk of in-stent restenosis after their implantation. Combining conventional vascular stents with liquid metal-based electrodes with impedance detection, irreversible electroporation, and blood pressure detection provides a new direction to completely solve the restenosis problem. Compared with conventional rigid electrodes, liquid metal-based electrodes combine high conductivity and stretchability, and are more compliant with the implantation process of vascular stents and remain in the vasculature for a long period of time. This perspective reviews the types and development of conventional vascular stents and proposes a novel stent that integrates liquid metal-based electrodes on conventional vascular stents. This vascular stent has three major functions of prediction, detection and treatment, and is expected to be a new generation of cardiovascular implant with intelligent sensing and real-time monitoring.

Abstract
Silicon suboxide (SiOx) anodes have attracted considerable attention owing to their excellent cycling performance and rate capability compared to silicon (Si) anodes. However, SiOx anodes suffer from high volume expansion similar to Si anodes, which has been a challenge in developing suitable commercial binders. In this study, a water-soluble polyamide acid (WS-PAA) binder with ionic bonds was synthesized. The amide bonds inherent in the WS-PAA binder form a stable hydrogen bond with the SiOx anode and provide sufficient mechanical strength for the prepared electrodes. In addition, the ionic bonds introduced by triethylamine (TEA) induce water solubility and new Li+ transport channels to the binder, achieving enhanced electrochemical properties for the resulting SiOx electrodes, such as cycling and rate capability. The SiOx anode with the WS-PAA binder exhibited a high initial capacity of 1004.7 mAh·g-1 at a current density of 0.8 A·g-1 and a capacity retention of 84.9% after 200 cycles. Therefore, WS-PAA is a promising binder for SiOx anodes compared with CMC and SA.

Abstract
Ultrathin silicon wafers are key components of wearable electronic devices and flexible electronics. Defects produced during the preparation process of ultrathin silicon wafers have a great influence on the electronic performance. A high-precision, nondestructive, and rapid damage detection method is urgently needed. IR digital holography has the advantage of being insensitive to visible light and environmental interference. In addition, micro-holography can achieve micro-target scaling with large range scaling. An ultrathin silicon wafer defect detection method of IR micro-digital holography is proposed in this paper for what we believe is the first time. Using the proposed defect detection method based on holography, the detection accuracy reached the submicron level.

Abstract
Porous silicon (pSi) has been studied for its applications in solar cells, in particular in silicon-silicon tandem solar cells. It is commonly believed that porosity leads to an expansion of the bandgap due to nano-confinement. Direct confirmation of this proposition has been elusive, as experimental band edge quantification is subject to uncertainties and effects of impurities, while electronic structure calculations on relevant length scales are still outstanding. Passivation of pSi is another factor affecting the band structure. We present a combined force field-density functional tight binding study of the effects of porosity of silicon on its band structure. We thus perform electron structure-level calculations for the first time on length scales (several nm) that are relevant to real pSi, and consider multiple nanoscale geometries (pores, pillars, and craters) with key geometrical features and sizes of real porous Si. We consider the presence of a bulk-like base with a nanostructured top layer. We show that the bandgap expansion is not correlated with the pore size but with the size of the Si framework. Significant band expansion would require features of silicon (as opposed to pore sizes) to be as small as 1 nm, while the nanosizing of pores does not induce gap expansion. We observe a graded junction-like behavior of the band gap as a function of Si feature sizes as one moves from the bulk-like base to the nanoporous top layer.

Abstract
Silicon anode suffers from rapid capacity decay because of its irreversible volume changes during charging and discharging. As one of the important components of the electrode structure, the binder plays an irreplaceable role in buffering the volume changes of the silicon anode and ensuring close contact between various components of the electrode. Traditional PVDF binder is based on weak van der Waals forces and cannot effectively buffer the stress coming from silicon volume expansion, resulting in rapid decay of silicon anode capacity. In addition, most natural polysaccharide binders with a single force face the same problem due to poor toughness. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop a binder with good force and toughness between the silicon particles. Herein, polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer chains that are premixed homogeneously with various components are cross-linked on-site on the current collector via the condensation reaction with citric acid, forming a polar three-dimensional (3D) network with improved tensile properties and adhesion for both silicon particles and current collector. The silicon anode with the cross-linked PAM binder exhibits higher reversible capacity and enhanced long-term cycling stability; the capacity remains at 1280 mA h g-1 after 600 cycles at 2.1 A g-1 and 770.9 mA h g-1 after being subjected to 700 cycles at 4.2 A g-1. It also exhibits excellent cycle stability in silicon-carbon composite materials. This study provides a cost-effective binder engineering strategy, which significantly enhances the long-term cycle performance and stability of silicon anodes, paving the way for large-scale practical applications.

Abstract
Silicon is attractive for lithium-ion batteries and beyond but suffers large volume change upon cycling. Hierarchical tactics show promise yet lack control over the unit construction and arrangement, limiting stability improvement at the practical level. Here, a protocol is developed as controlled isotropic canalization of microsized silicon. Distinct from the existing strategies, it involves isotropic canalization by honeycomb-like radial arrangement of silicon nanosheets, and canal consolidation by controlled dual bonding of silicon with carbon. The proof-of-concept nitrogen-doped carbon dual-bonded silicon honeycomb-like microparticles, specifically with a medium density of CNSi and COSi bonds, exhibit stable cycling impressively at high rates and industrial-scale loadings. Two key issues involve isotropic canalization facilitating ion transport in all directions of individual granules and controlled consolidation conferring selective ion permeation and securing charge transport. The study highlights the configurational isotropy and interfacial bonding density, and provides insight into rational design and manufacture of silicon and others with industry-viable features.

Abstract
The Si/C anode is one of the most promising candidate materials for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, a silicon/carbon nanotubes/carbon (Si/CNTs/C) composite is in situ synthesized by a one-step reaction of magnesium silicide, calcium carbonate, and ferrocene. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the growth of CNTs is attributed to the catalysis of iron atoms derived from the decomposition of ferrocene. In comparison to a Si/C composite, the cycle stability of the Si/CNTs/C composite can obviously be improved as an anode for LIBs. The enhanced performance is mainly attributed to the following factors: (i) the perfect combination of Si nanoparticles and in situ grown CNTs achieves high mechanical integrity and good electrical contact; (ii) Si nanoparticles are entangled in the CNT cage, effectively reducing the volume expansion upon cycling; and (iii) in situ grown CNTs can improve the conductivity of composites and provide lithium ion transport channels. Moreover, the full cell constructed by a LiFePO4 cathode and Si/CNTs/C anode exhibits excellent cycling stability (137 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 0.5 C with a capacity retention rate of 91.2%). This work provides a new way for the synthesis of a Si/C anode for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
SiOx is a promising next-generation anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, its commercial adoption faces challenges such as low electrical conductivity, large volume expansion during cycling, and low initial Coulombic efficiency. Herein, to overcome these limitations, an eco-friendly in situ methodology for synthesizing carbon-containing mesoporous SiOx nanoparticles wrapped in another carbon layers is developed. The chemical reactions of vinyl-terminated silanes are designed to be confined inside the cationic surfactant-derived emulsion droplets. The polyvinylpyrrolidone-based chemical functionalization of organically modified SiO2 nanoparticles leads to excellent dispersion stability and allows for intact hybridization with graphene oxide sheets. The formation of a chemically reinforced heterointerface enables the spontaneous generation of mesopores inside the thermally reduced SiOx nanoparticles. The resulting mesoporous SiOx -based nanocomposite anodes exhibit superior cycling stability (≈100% after 500 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 ) and rate capability (554 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 ), elucidating characteristic synergetic effects in mesoporous SiOx -based nanocomposite anodes. The practical commercialization potential with a significant enhancement in initial Coulombic efficiency through a chemical prelithiation reaction is also presented. The full cell employing the prelithiated anode demonstrated more than 2 times higher Coulombic efficiency and discharge capacity compared to the full cell with a pristine anode.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is a promising next-generation anode for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. The application of silicon/carbon (Si/C) composites with high Si content is hindered by the huge volume change and insecure electrochemical interface of the Si anode. Herein, chemical-expanded graphite (CEG) is used as a carbon matrix to form Si@CEG/C composites with an embedded structure. CEG with an abundant pore structure and electropositivity can well disperse and accommodate a mass of Si nanoparticles (Si NPs). With the flexibility and porosity of CEG, the embedded structure of Si NPs fixed in an expanded graphite layer can adopt the volume change of Si NPs and offer the abundant path of diffusion of lithium-ion, which leads to a moderate cycle and rate performance. Si@CEG/C exhibits a high reversible capacity of 1232.4 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 and with a capacity retention rate of 87% after 200 cycles. This embedded structure of Si/C composites built by CEG is meaningful for the structure design of the Si-based anode with higher specific capacity, active material utilization, and satisfactory cycle stability.

Abstract
High-entropy transition-metal oxides are potentially interesting cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, among which high-entropy layered oxides are considered highly promising because there exist two-dimensional ion transport channels that may, in principle, enable fast ion transport. However, high-entropy layered oxides reported to date exhibit fast capacity fading in initial cycles and thus are hardly of any practical value. Here, we investigate the structural and property changes of a five-element layered oxide, LiNi0.2Co0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Al0.2O2, using electrochemical and physical characterization techniques. It is revealed that the M3O4 phase formed at the surface of LiNi0.2Co0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Al0.2O2 due to the migration of metal ions from octahedral sites of the transition-metal layer to tetrahedral 8a and octahedral sites of the lithium layer hinders the intercalation of lithium ion, which leads to the low initial Coulombic efficiency and fast decay of reversible capacity. This mechanism could be generally applicable to other high-entropy layered oxides with different elemental compositions.

Abstract
Thermal issues associated with lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can dramatically affect their life cycle and overall performance. However, the effective heat transfer is deeply restrained by the high thermal resistance across the cathode (lithium cobalt oxide, LCO)-separator (polyethylene, PE) interface. This work presents a new approach to tailoring the interfacial thermal resistance, namely, unstructured self-assembled lamella (USAL). Compared to the popular self-assembled monolayers, although the USAL gives a redundant interface and amorphous molecule patterns, it can also provide many benefits, including easy assembly, more thermal bridges, and ready pressurization. Three small organic molecules (SOMs) were assembled into an LCO-PE interface, providing unique functional groups, -NH2, -SH, and -CH3, to illustrate its energy conversion efficiency. Through molecular dynamics simulations, our results show that the USAL can facilitate interfacial heat transfer remarkably. A 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS)-coated LCO-PE system with 11.4 Å thickness demonstrates the maximum enhancement of thermal conductance, about 320% of the pristine system. Such enhancement is attributed to the developed double heat passages by strong non-bonded interactions across LCO-SOM and PE-SOM interfaces, a tuned temperature field, and high compatibility between SOMs and PE. Importantly, due to SOMs' amorphous morphology, the pressure can be imposed and further enhance the interfacial heat transfer. Results show the improved thermal conductance rises the most for the APTMS-coated LCO-PE system with 11.4 Å thickness at 10 GPa, almost 685% higher than that of the pristine system. The high efficiency of heat transfer comes as a result of the enhanced binding strength across the LCO-SOM and SOM-PE interface, the reduced phonon scattering in PE and SOMs, and the high LCO stiffness. These investigations are expected to provide a new perspective for modulating the heat transfer across the interphase of LIBs and achieve more effective thermal management for the multi-material system.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is considered a promising anode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, low working potential, and safety features. However, the practical use of Si-based anodes is hampered by their huge volume expansion during the process of lithiation/delithiation, and they have relatively low intrinsic electronic conductivity, therefore seriously restricting their application in energy storage. Here, we propose a facile approach to directly transform siliceous biomass (bamboo leaves) into a porous carbon skeleton-wrapped Si nanodot architecture through a partial oxidization strategy and magnesium thermal reaction to obtain a high Si nanodot component composite (denoted as Si/C-O). With the synergistic effect of the porous carbon skeleton structure and uniformly dispersed Si nanodots, the Si/C-O composite anode with a stable structure that can avoid pulverization and accommodate volume expansion during cycling is fabricated. As expected, the biomass-converted Si/C-O anode not only presents a high Si component (59.7 wt %) by TGA but also exhibits an excellent capacity of 1013 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and robust cycling stability with a capacity retention of 526 mAh g-1 after 650 cycles. Moreover, the Si/C-O anode demonstrates considerable performance in practical LIBs when assembled with a commercial LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode. This work provides an effective strategy and long-term insights into the utilization of porous Si-based materials converted by biomass to design and synthesize high-performance LIB materials.

High-Temperature Magnesiothermic Reduction Enables HF-Free Synthesis of Porous Silicon with Enhanced Performance as Lithium-Ion Battery Anode. Molecules 2022; 27:7486.

Abstract
Porous silicon-based anode materials have gained much interest because the porous structure can effectively accommodate volume changes and release mechanical stress, leading to improved cycling performance. Magnesiothermic reduction has emerged as an effective way to convert silica into porous silicon with a good electrochemical performance. However, corrosive HF etching is normally a mandatory step to improve the electrochemical performance of the as-synthesized silicon, which significantly increases the safety risk. This has become one of the major issues that impedes practical application of the magnesiothermic reduction synthesis of the porous silicon anode. Here, a facile HF-free method is reported to synthesize macro-/mesoporous silicon with good cyclic and rate performance by simply increasing the reduction temperature from 700 °C to 800 °C and 900 °C. The mechanism for the structure change resulting from the increased temperature is elaborated. A finite element simulation indicated that the 3D continuous structure formed by the magnesiothermic reduction at 800 °C and 900 °C could undertake the mechanical stress effectively and was responsible for an improved cyclic stability compared to the silicon synthesized at 700 °C.

Abstract
The performance of electrode materials depends intensively on the lithium (Li)-ion storage mechanisms correlating ultimately with the Coulombic efficiency, reversible capacity, and morphology variation of electrode material upon cycling. Transition metal nitrides anode materials have exhibited high-energy density and superior rate capability; however, the intrinsic mechanism is largely unexplored and still unclear. Here, a typical 3D porous Fe2 N micro-coral anode is prepared and, an intercalation-conversion-heterogeneity hybrid Li-ion storage mechanism that is beyond the conventional intercalation or conversion reaction is revealed through various characterization techniques and thermodynamic analysis. Interestingly, using advanced in situ magnetometry, the ratio (ca. 24.4%) of the part where conversion reaction occurs to the entire Fe2 N can further be quantified. By rationally constructing a Li-ion capacitor comprising 3D porous Fe2 N micro-corals anode and commercial AC cathode, the hybrid full device delivers a high energy-density (157 Wh kg-1 ) and high power-density (20 000 W kg-1 ), as well as outstanding cycling stability (93.5% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles). This research provides an original and insightful method to confirm the reaction mechanism of material related to transition metals and a fundamental basis for emerging fast charging electrode materials to be efficiently explored for a next-generation battery.

Abstract
Free-standing electrode (FSE) architectures hold the potential to dramatically increase the gravimetric and volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by eliminating the parasitic dead weight and volume associated with traditional metal foil current collectors. However, current FSE fabrication methods suffer from insufficient mechanical stability, electrochemical performance, or industrial adoptability. Here, we demonstrate a scalable camphene-assisted fabrication method that allows simultaneous casting and templating of FSEs comprising common LIB materials with a performance superior to their foil-cast counterparts. These porous, lightweight, and robust electrodes simultaneously enable enhanced rate performance by improving the mass and ion transport within the percolating conductive carbon pore network and eliminating current collectors for efficient and stable Li+ storage (>1000 cycles in half-cells) at increased gravimetric and areal energy densities. Compared to conventional foil-cast counterparts, the camphene-derived electrodes exhibit ∼1.5× enhanced gravimetric energy density, increased rate capability, and improved capacity retention in coin-cell configurations. A full cell containing both a free-standing anode and cathode was cycled for over 250 cycles with greater than 80% capacity retention at an areal capacity of 0.73 mA h/cm2. This active-material-agnostic electrode fabrication method holds potential to tailor the morphology of flexible, current-collector-free electrodes, thus enabling LIBs to be optimized for high power or high energy density Li+ storage. Furthermore, this platform provides an electrode fabrication method that is applicable to other electrochemical technologies and advanced manufacturing methods.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has been recognized as a promising alternative to graphite anode materials for advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its superior theoretical capacity and low discharge voltage. However, Si-based anodes undergo structural pulverization during cycling due to the large volume expansion (ca. 300-400%) and continuous formation of an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), resulting in fast capacity fading. To address this challenge, a series of different amounts of silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs)-encapsulated hollow porous N-doped/Co-incorporated carbon nanocubes (denoted as p-CoNC@SiX, where X = 50, 80, and 100) as anode materials for LIBs are reported in this paper. These hollow nanocubic materials were derived by facile annealing of different contents of Si NPs-encapsulated Zn/Co-bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF@Si) as self-sacrificial templates. Owing to the advantages of well-defined hollow framework clusters and highly conductive hollow carbon frameworks, the hollow porous p-CoNC@SiX significantly improved the electronic conductivity and Li+ diffusion coefficient by an order of magnitude higher than that of Si NPs. The as-prepared p-CoNC@Si80 with 80 wt % Si NPs delivered a continuously increasing specific capacity of 1008 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1 over 500 cycles, excellent reversible capacity (∼1361 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), and superior rate capability (∼603 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1) along with an unprecedented long-life cyclic stability of ∼1218 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 over 1000 cycles caused by low volume expansion (9.92%) and suppressed SEI side reactions. These findings provide new insights into the development of highly reversible Si-based anode materials for advanced LIBs.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is regarded as the most promising anode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, and low working potential. However, the large volume variation during the continuous lithiation/delithiation processes easily leads to structural damage and serious side reactions. To overcome the resultant rapid specific capacity decay, the nanocrystallization and compound strategies are proposed to construct hierarchically assembled structures with different morphologies and functions, which develop novel energy storage devices at nano/micro scale. The introduction of assembly strategies in the preparation process of silicon-based materials can integrate the advantages of both nanoscale and microstructures, which significantly enhance the comprehensive performance of the prepared silicon-based assemblies. Unfortunately, the summary and understanding of assembly are still lacking. In this review, the understanding of assembly is deepened in terms of driving forces, methods, influencing factors and advantages. The recent research progress of silicon-based assembled anodes and the mechanism of the functional advantages for assembled structures are reviewed from the aspects of spatial confinement, layered construction, fasciculate structure assembly, superparticles, and interconnected assembly strategies. Various feasible strategies for structural assembly and performance improvement are pointed out. Finally, the challenges and integrated improvement strategies for assembled silicon-based anodes are summarized.
