Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been developed over the last three decades. Increased amount of silicon (Si) is added into graphite anode to increase the energy density of LIBs. However, the amount of Si is limited, due to its structural instability and poor electronic conductivity so a novel approach is needed to overcome these issues. In this work, the synthesized chromium silicide (CrSi2) doped Si nanoparticle anode material achieves an initial capacity of 1729.3 mAh g-1 at 0.2C and retains 1085 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles. The new anode also shows fast charge capability due to the enhanced electronic conductivity provided by CrSi2 dopant, delivering a capacity of 815.9 mAh g-1 at 1C after 1000 cycles with a capacity degradation rate of <0.05% per cycle. An in situ transmission electron microscopy is used to study the structural stability of the CrSi2-doped Si, indicating that the high control of CrSi2 dopant prevents the fracture of Si during lithiation and results in long cycle life. Molecular dynamics simulation shows that CrSi2 doping optimizes the crack propagation path and dissipates the fracture energy. In this work a comprehensive information is provided to study the function of metal ion doping in electrode materials.

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
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
Silicon-based anode materials are considered one of the highly promising anode materials due to their high theoretical energy density; however, problems such as volume effects and solid electrolyte interface film (SEI) instability limit the practical applications. Herein, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are used as the nucleus and anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used as the buffer layer to form a core-shell structure to adapt to the volume change of the silicon-based material and improve the overall interfacial stability of the electrode. In addition, silver nanowires (AgNWs) doping makes it possible to form a conductive network structure to improve the conductivity of the material. We used the core-shell structure SiNPs@TiO2/AgNWs composite as an anode material for high-efficiency Li-ion batteries. Compared with the pure SiNPs electrode, the SiNPs@TiO2/AgNWs electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with a first discharge specific capacity of 3524.2 mAh·g-1 at a current density of 400 mA·g-1, which provides a new idea for the preparation of silicon-based anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
AbstractHere we present Positron Annihilation Doppler Broadening Spectroscopy (PADBS) as a powerful method to analyse the origin and development of defect processes in porous silicon structures as a result of alloying with lithium for the use in battery anode applications. Several prepared anodes were lithiated (discharged against Li+/Li) and de-lithiated (charged) with different capacities followed by a distinct treatment procedure and an analysis using the Delft Variable Energy Positron Beam. The results presented here show that we can distinguish two different processes attributed to (1) structural changes in silicon as a result of the alloying process, and (2) the formation of defects that initiate degradation of the material. The limit at which the porous material can be used for at least the first two cycles without the occurrence of damage can thus be accurately determined by using the PADBS technique.

Abstract
Electrochemical active silicon has attracted great attention as anodes for lithium-ion batteries owing to a high theoretical capacity of 4200 mA h g-1. In this work, ball-milled silicon particles with submicron size were strategically modified with a hybrid coating of amorphous alumina and carbon, which simultaneously embedded in a porous framework of in situ exfoliated graphene/graphite nanosheets (GGN). The composite exhibits an enhanced electrochemical performance, including high cycling stability and superior rate capability. An initial discharge capacity of 1294 mA h g-1 and a reversible charge capacity of 1044 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 can be achieved with a high initial Coulombic efficiency of up to ca. 81%. Additionally, the composite can remain 902 mA h g-1 after 100 discharge/charge cycles, accounting for a high retention of about 86%. This silicon composite is a promising anode material for high performance lithium-ion batteries with a high energy density, and the facile one-pot fabrication route is low cost and scalable, with a great prospect for practical application.

Abstract
Silicon plays a crucial part in developing high-performance energy storage materials, owing to a high specific capacity compared to carbon. Moreover, nanoscale silicon is beneficial for reducing the inherent disadvantage of large volume change during repeated lithiation/de-lithiation, while artificial synthesis methods usually involve complex procedures and high costs. On account of the abundant natural reserve and low cost, the manipulation of silicate minerals is a simple and economical approach to prepare silicon nanosheets. In this regard, this mini review introduces different classes of silicate minerals and summarizes some typical molten salt-assisted reduction methods and other valuable methods applied to prepare silicon nanosheets for energy storage. Finally, the challenges and perspectives in this field are also proposed.

Abstract
Motivated by the abundant experimental work in the area of Li-ion batteries, in the present work we characterize via computer simulations the structure of Si-Li amorphous alloys in a wide range of compositions. Using a reactive force field we propose a novel accelerated exploration of local minima to obtain amorphous structures close to equilibrium. The features of this system analyzed for different alloy compositions are the partial radial distribution functions g(r), the first and second nearest neighbour coordination numbers and the short-order structure. The complex structure of the second peak of the Si-Li g(r) is elucidated using a cluster-connection analysis.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has been considered as one of the most promising candidates for the next-generation lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode materials owing to its huge theoretical specific capacity of 4200 mA h g-1. However, the practical application of Si anodes in commercial LIBs is facing challenges because of the lack of scalable and cost-effective methods to prepare Si-based anode materials with proper microstructure and competitive electrochemical performances. Herein, we report a facile and scalable method to produce multidimensional porous silicon embedded with a nanosilver particle (pSi/Ag) composite from commercially available low-cost metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si) powder. The unique hybrid structure contributes to fast electronic transport and relieves volume change of silicon during the charge-discharge process. The pSi/Ag composite exhibits a large initial discharge capacity (3095 mA h g-1 at a high current of 1 A g-1), an excellent cycling performance (1930 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 50 cycles), and outstanding rate capacities (up to 1778 mA h g-1 at a higher current of 2 A g-1). After the samples are modified by reduced graphene oxide, the capacities of the pSi/Ag@RGO composite electrode can still be maintained over 1000 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles. This study provides a simple and effective strategy for production of high-performance anode materials.

Abstract
Silicon and germanium are among the most promising candidates as anodes for Li-ion batteries, meanwhile their potential application in sodium- and potassium-ion batteries is emerging. The access of their entire potential requires a comprehensive understanding of their electrochemical mechanism. This Review highlights the processes taking place during the alloying reaction of Si and Ge with the alkali ions. Several associated challenges, including the volumetric expansion, particle pulverization, and uncontrolled formation of solid electrolyte interphase layer must be surmounted and different strategies, such as nanostructures and electrode formulation, have been implemented. Additionally, a new approach based on the use of layered Si and Ge-based Zintl phases is presented. The versatility of this new family permits the tuning of their physical and chemical properties for specific applications. For batteries in particular, the layered structure buffers the volume expansion and exhibits an enhanced electronic conductivity, allowing high power applications.
