Three-dimensional porous silicon particles can be produced via the combination of a galvanic displacement reaction and a metal-assisted chemical etching process. This simple synthetic route can be applied to make high-performance anode materials, including high specific capacity, stable cycling retention, and high rate capability, in lithium-ion batteries. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”. Such documents are peer-reviewed, but not copy-

Specific design and optimization of the configuration of micro-scale materials can effectively enhance battery performance, including volumetric density. Herein, we employed commercially available low-cost bulk silicon powder to produce multi-dimensional silicon composed of porous nanowires and micro-sized cores, which can be used as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, by combining a metal deposition and metal-assisted chemical etching process. Nanoporous silicon nanowires of 5–8 μm in len

Fast charging rate and large energy storage are becoming key elements for the development of next-generation batteries, targeting high-performance electric vehicles. Developing electrodes with high volumetric and gravimetric capacity that could be operated at a high rate is the most challenging part of this process. Using silicon as the anode material, which exhibits the highest theoretical capacity as a lithium-ion battery anode, we report a binder-free electrode that interconnects carbon-sheat

Abstract The synthesis of a new type of redox‐active covalent triazine framework (rCTF) material, which is promising as an anode for Li‐ion batteries, is reported. After activation, it has a capacity up to ≈1190 mAh g −1 at 0.5C with a current density of 300 mA g −1 and a high cycling stability of over 1000 discharge/charge cycles with a stable Coulombic efficiency in an rCTF/Li half‐cell. This rCTF has a high rate performance, and at a charging rate of 20C with a current density of 12 A g −1 an

Under the surface: Ag nanoparticles are deposited onto the surface of commercially available SiO particles, and subsequent chemical etching results in the formation of nanoporous SiO without changing the chemical and physical properties of the original SiO. Moreover, chemical-assisted thermal annealing produces a shape-preserving Si-based multicomponent system, which exhibits high-performance electrochemical properties.

We demonstrate a simple process to synthesize silicon-based multicomponents via a high-temperature annealing of bulk silicon monoxide in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The carbon-coated Si-based anodes exhibit a highly stable cycling performance (capacity retention of 99.5% after 200 cycles) with a reversible charge capacity of 1280 mA h g−1.

Porous structured materials have unique architectures and are promising for lithium-ion batteries to enhance performances. In particular, mesoporous materials have many advantages including a high surface area and large void spaces which can increase reactivity and accessibility of lithium ions. This study reports a synthesis of newly developed mesoporous germanium (Ge) particles prepared by a zincothermic reduction at a mild temperature for high performance lithium-ion batteries which can opera

Abstract Anode‐free Li metal batteries are one of the finest prospects for increasing energy density beyond that of standard lithium‐ion batteries. Conversely, the absence of Li reservoir generates unwarranted volume expansion, permitting electrolyte depletion and rapid cathode capacity consumption. To address this issue, an anode‐free Li metal battery with an ion‐conductive layer coated Cu current collector Ag/L in typical carbonate‐based electrolytes is presented. The ion‐conducting layer caus

Abstract With the emergence of stretchable electronic devices, there is growing interest in the development of deformable power accessories that can power them. To date, various approaches have been reported for replacing rigid components of typical batteries with elastic materials. Little attention, however, has been paid to stretchable separator membranes that can not only prevent internal short circuit but also provide an ionic conducting pathway between electrodes under extreme physical defo

Nanostructured micrometer-sized Al-Si particles are synthesized via a facile selective etching process of Al-Si alloy powder. Subsequent thin Al2O3 layers are introduced on the Si foam surface via a selective thermal wet oxidation process of etched Al-Si particles. The resulting Si/Al2O3 foam anodes exhibit outstanding cycling stability (a capacity retention of 78% after 300 cycles at the C/5 rate) and excellent rate capability.
