Abstract
Microscale porous silicon materials have shown great application potential as anodes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs); however, they face significant challenges, including mechanical structure instability, low intrinsic conductivity, and uncontrollable processing. In this study, a modified etching strategy combined with a facile sol-gel method is demonstrated to prepare microscale porous Si microspheres encapsulated by an inner amorphous carbon shell (≈10 nm) and an outer rigid anatase titanium oxide (TiO2) shell (≈20 nm) (PSi@C@TiO2), with the intact porous framework and core-shell-shell spherical structure. The interconnected pores can sufficiently accommodate the expansion of the Si core during lithiation. Moreover, the double shells can not only enhance the kinetic behavior of the PSi@C@TiO2 microspheres, but can act as a compact fence to force the Si core to expand toward the internal pores during lithiation, ensuring the integrity of the porous spherical structure. As a result, the PSi@C@TiO2 anodes show greatly superior high specific capacity, excellent rate capability, stable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) films and steady mechanical structure. It delivers a high reversible capacity of 1004 mA h g-1 after 250 cycles at 0.5 A g-1. This study provides a modified method to prepare microscale porous Si anodes with a stable mechanical structure and long cycle life for LIBs.

Abstract
Abstract
Silicon nanowire has been perceived as one of the most promising anodes in the next generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its superior theoretical capacity. However, its high-cost and complicated fabrication process presents significant challenges for practical applications. Herein, we propose a simple scalable process, thermal-alkaline treatment followed by sputtering deposition, for preparing a unique self-standing anode of three-dimensional (3D) porous Si–TiO2 web-nanowired nanostructure for micro-LIBs. One-step thermal-alkaline synthesis of TiO2 nanowire scaffolds (TNS) with well-controlled thickness of 600–800 nm is reproducibly obtained onto Cu foils, achieving a 3D porous geometry for further growing Si active materials onto it to form 3D web-nanowired TiO2-Si composite material with interstitial voids. Profiting from the coverage of Si, direct contact of active materials on current collector, and the unique 3D web-nanowired structure, it exhibits high reversible volumetric charge capacity of 2296 mAh cm−3 with a coulombic efficiency of ∼95%, higher capacity retention, better capacity recovery ability and improved rate capability. Importantly, this work paves a simple way to directly build reliable 3D nanostructures or nanowired frameworks on selected current collectors as self-standing anodes for high volumetric capacity microbatteries; thus it is easy to scale up and beneficial for microelectronics industry.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics modelling of the formation of copper and silicon composite nanostructures was carried out by using the many-particle potential method. The dependences of the internal structure on the cooling rate and the ratio of elements were investigated. The possibility of the formation of the Cu-Si nanoparticles from both a homogeneous alloy and two initial drops at short distance were shown. A comparative analysis showed that the diameter distribution of copper and silicon atoms in experimental particles coincides with the simulation results with silicon content of 50 atom %. Additionally, an estimation of the effective experimental cooling rate was made.

Abstract
Metal silicates are good candidates for use in lithium ion batteries (LIBs), however, their electrochemical performance is hindered by their poor electrical conductivity and volume expansion during Li+ insertion/desertion. In this work, one-dimensional core-shell structured MnSiO3 supported with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (referred to as CNT@MnSiO3) with good conductivity and electrochemical performance has been successfully synthesized using a solvothermal process under moderate conditions. In contrast to traditional composites of CNTs and nanoparticles, the CNT@MnSiO3 composite in this work is made up of CNTs with a layer of MnSiO3 on the surface. The one-dimensional CNT@MnSiO3 nanotubes provide a useful channel for transferring Li+ ions during the discharge/charge process, which accelerates the Li+ diffusion speed. The CNTs inside the structure not only enhance the conductivity of the composite, but also prevent volume expansion. A high reversible capacity (920 mA h g-1 at 500 mA g-1 over 650 cycles) and good rate performance were obtained for CNT@MnSiO3, showing that this strategy of synthesizing coaxial CNT@MnSiO3 nanotubes offers a promising method for preparing other silicates for LIBs or other applications.
