Abstract
Hierarchically porous silicon nanoflakes were synthesized from natural talc via a mechanochemical reduction method, which showed great potential in the scalable production of silicon nanoflakes due to the abundant precursor and facile strategy. The unique layered structure and chemical composition of talc enabled the formation of two-dimensional nanostructured silicon without any additional templates. As lithium-ion battery anodes, the silicon nanoflakes showed excellent electrochemical properties.

Abstract
Silicon has the potential to improve lithium-ion battery (LIB) performance substantially by replacing graphite as an anode. The sustainability of such a transformation, however, depends on the source of silicon and the nature of the manufacturing process. Today's silicon industry still overwhelmingly depends on the energy-intensive, high-temperature carbothermal reduction of silica─a process that adversely impacts the environment. Rather than use conventional thermoreduction alone to break Si-O bonds, we report the efficient conversion of SiO2 directly to Mg2Si by a microwave-induced Mg plasma within 2.5 min at merely 200 W under vacuum. The underlying mechanism is proposed, wherein electrons with enhanced kinetics function readily as the reductant while the "bombardment" from Mg cations and electrons promotes the fast nucleation of Mg2Si. The 3D nanoporous (NP) Si is then fabricated by a facile thermal dealloying step. The resulting hierarchical NP Si anodes deliver stable, extended cycling with excellent rate capability in Li-ion half-cells, with capacities several times greater than graphite. The microwave-induced metal plasma (MIMP) concept can be applied just as efficiently to the synthesis of Mg2Si from Si, and the chemistry should be extendable to the reduction of multiple metal(loid) oxides via their respective Mg alloys.

Abstract
Silicon-containing polyester from tetramethoxysilane, ethylene glycol, and o-Phthalic anhydride were used as encapsulating materials for silicon nano powders (SiNP) via electrospinning, with Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as spinning additives. In the correct quantities, SiNP could be well encapsulated in nano fibers (200-400 nm) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The encapsulating materials were then carbonized to a Si-O-C material at 755 °C (Si@C-SiNF-5 and Si@C-SiNF-10, with different SiNP content). Fiber structure and SiNP crystalline structure were reserved even after high-temperature treatment, as SEM and X-ray diffraction (XRD) verified. When used as lithium ion battery (LIB) anode materials, the cycling stability of SiNPs increased after encapsulation. The capacity of SiNPs decreased to ~10 mAh/g within 30 cycles, while those from Si@C-SiNF-5 and Si@C-SiNF-10 remained over 500 mAh/g at the 30th cycle. We also found that adequate SiNP content is necessary for good encapsulation and better cycling stability. In the anode from Si@C-SiNF-10 in which SiNPs were not well encapsulated, fibers were broken and pulverized as SEM confirmed; thus, its cycling stability is poorer than that from Si@C-SiNF-5.

JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2022; 33:69. [PMID: 36190565 PMCID: PMC9529710 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-022-06693-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Repeat firing produces uncertainty about stabilizing lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDGC) material properties, even though prolonged holding time can enhance the mechanical property of LDGC during a single firing cycle. However, the effect of prolonged holding time and repeat firing on the mechanical property and microstructure of LDGC is not fully understood. In the present study, three groups of LDGC material were created: (i) extension of holding time (7 vs. 14 vs. 28 min) at 780-800 °C; (ii) holding time extension (7 vs. 14 min) and dual sintering at 800-820 °C, respectively; (iii) dual sintering with prolonged holding time (7 vs. 14 min) at 820-840 °C. The nano-indenter test revealed that prolonged holding time (14 and 28 min) promoted the enhancement of LDGC hardness and Young's modulus. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that prolonged holding time increased and stabilized LD phase in LDGC, as well as induced residual compressive stress. Scanning electron microscopy showed that prolonged holding time increased LD crystal grains homogeneously and facilitated LDGC to form dense interlocking structure without enlarging crystal size grains significantly. In contrast, LDGC that dual sintered alone at 820-840 °C possessed inferior mechanical properties, coupled with heterogeneous crystal phases, residual tensile stress, and melted crystals grains in the porous microstructure. Interestingly, these deteriorated properties of LDGC caused by dual sintering alone could be counteracted by prolonging the holding time. Nevertheless, the LDGC materials displayed an excellent biocompatibility throughout the study. This study identified that prolonged holding time during repeated firing cycles stabilized LD phase and crystal grain size of LDGC, thus enhanced the mechanical properties, which provided a new insight to extend the repeat fired restoration longevity of LDGC.

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.

Abstract
Porous nanostructures have been proposed a promising strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of Si materials as anodes of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, expensive raw materials and the tedious preparation processes hinder their widespread adoption. In this work, silicon micron cages (SMCs) have been synthesized in molten AlCl3 through using spherical aluminum particles as a sacrificial template, and the earth-abundant and low-cost natural halloysite clay as a precursor. The aluminum spheres (1–3 μm) not only act as a sacrificial template but also facilitate the formation of silicon branches, which connect together to form SMCs. As anodes for LIBs, the SMC electrode exhibits a high reversible capacity of 1977.5 mA h g−1 after 50 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g−1, and 1035.1 mA h g−1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A g−1. The improved electrochemical performance of SMCs could be ascribed to the micron cage structure, providing abundant buffering space and mesopores for Si expansion. This promising method is expected to offer a pathway towards the scalable application of Si-based anode materials in the next-generation LIB technology. (1) Silicon micron cages (SMCs) was synthesized using natural halloysite as precursor. (2) The electrochemical performance of SMCs as anode materials of lithium-ion batteries can be improved for the micron cage structure.![]()

Abstract
The manipulation of progressive lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy density, low cost, and long-term cycling stability is of high priority to meet the growing demands for next-generation energy storage devices. Silicon (Si) has been receiving marvelous attention as a promising anode material for rechargeable LIBs, due to its high theoretical gravimetric capacity and low cost. Si is the second most abundant element in the earth crust in the form of silicates, so it is the most cost-effective element as an anode material in next-generation LIBs. In this review, different natural sources such as rice husk, sugar cane bagasse, bamboo, reed plant, sand, halloysite, and different waste sources such as waste of the solar power industry, fly ash, straw ash, and other industrial waste that can give rise to different nanostructured Si are systematically summarized. In addition, different synthesis methods of fabricating nanostructured Si are reviewed as well as including magnesiothermic reduction, etching methods, ball milling, and chemical vapor deposition. The advantages and disadvantages of these kind of synthesis methods are discussed as well. Furthermore, the opportunities and challenges of nano-Si are also discussed.

Abstract
Silicon nanosheets are fascinating anode materials for lithium-ion batteries because of their high specific capacities, structural stability, and fast kinetics in alloying/dealloying with Li. The nanosheets can be synthesized through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), topochemical reaction, and templating method. After coating with a carbon nanolayer, they exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance. However, it is challenging to synthesize ultrathin carbon-coated silicon nanosheets. In this work, porous silicon/carbon (pSi/C) composite nanosheets are synthesized by reducing the carbon-coated expanded vermiculite with metallic Al in the molten salts. The as-prepared pSi/C nanosheets retain the layered nanostructure of vermiculite, with a thickness of less than 50 nm. The carbon nanolayer serves as the diffusion barrier and mechanical support for the growth of mesoporous silicon nanosheets. The anode of pSi/C nanosheets achieves remarkable electrochemical performance, exhibiting a reversible capacity of 1837 mA h g-1 at 4 A g-1 and retaining 71.5% of the initial capacity after 500 cycles. The process can be extended to the synthesis of the pSi/C composite nanotube by using other carbon-coated silicate templates such as halloysite.

Abstract
Hollow nanostructures are attractive for energy storage and conversion, drug delivery, and catalysis applications. Although these hollow nanostructures of compounds can be generated through the processes involving the well-established Kirkendall effect or ion exchange method, a similar process for the synthesis of the pure-substance one ( e. g., Si) remains elusive. Inspired by the above two methods, we introduce a continuous ultrathin carbon layer on the silica nano/microstructures (Stöber spheres, diatom frustules, sphere in sphere) as the stable reaction interface. With the layer as the diffusion mediator of the reactants, silica structures are successfully reduced into their porous silicon hollow counterparts with metal Al powder in AlCl3-NaCl molten salt. The structures are composed of silicon nanocrystallites with sizes of 15-25 nm. The formation mechanism can be explained as an etching-reduction/nucleation-growth process. When used as the anode material, the silicon hollow structure from diatom frustules delivers specific capacities of 2179, 1988, 1798, 1505, 1240, and 974 mA h g-1 at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 A g-1, respectively. After being prelithiated, it retains 80% of the initial capacity after 1100 cycles at 8 A g-1. This work provides a general way to synthesize versatile silicon hollow structures for high-performance lithium ion batteries due to the existence of ample silica reactants and can be extended to the synthesis of hollow structures of other materials.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2017; 39:883-888.

Abstract
Silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) are increasing in relevance in diverse fields of scientific and nanotechnological inquiry, where currently some of the most important areas of research involve energy storage and biomedical applications. The present article is concerned with a curious and scalable method for the preparation of discrete, unoxidized, hydrogenated, and amorphous Si-NPs of tunable size in the range of 1.5-50nm. Using ultrasound generated with a conventional ultrasonic horn, the "fusion" of Si-NPs is demonstrated at ambient temperature and pressure by sonicating solutions containing readily available, semiconductor-grade purity trisilane (Si3H8). The only requirement for the synthesis is that it be carried out in an inert atmosphere such as that of a N2-filled glove box. Various spectroscopic techniques and electron microscopy images are used to show that the size of the Si-NPs can be controlled by varying the amplitude of the ultrasonic waves or the concentration of trisilane in the solution. Moreover, sustained ultrasonic irradiation is found to yield highly porous Si-NP agglomerates that may find use in applications requiring non-crystalline nanoscopic high specific surface area morphologies.
