Stehle P, Langer F, Vrankovic D, Anjass M. Thickness Variation of Conductive Polymer Coatings on Si Anodes for the Improved Cycling Stability in Full Pouch Cells. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:27202-27208. [PMID: 38747165 PMCID: PMC11145580 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c17597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
Si-dominant anodes for Li-ion batteries provide very high gravimetric and volumetric capacity but suffer from low cycling stability due to an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). In this work, we improved the cycling performance of Si/NCM pouch cells by coating the Si anodes with the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) prior to cell assembly via an electropolymerization process. The thicknesses of the PEDOT coatings could be adjusted by a facile process parameter variation. Glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy was used to determine the coating thicknesses on the electrodes prior to the cell assembly. During electrochemical testing, improvements were observed closely linked to the PEDOT coating thickness. Specifically, thinner PEDOT coatings exhibited a higher capacity retention and lower internal resistance in the corresponding pouch cells. For the thinnest coatings, the cell lifetime was 18% higher compared to that of uncoated Si anodes. Postmortem analyses via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy revealed a better-maintained microstructure and a chemically different SEI for the PEDOT-coated anodes.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the predominant energy storage power source. However, the urgent issues of enhancing electrochemical performance, prolonging lifetime, preventing thermal runaway-caused fires, and intelligent application are obstacles to their applications. Herein, bio-inspired electrodes owning spatiotemporal management of self-healing, fast ion transport, fire-extinguishing, thermoresponsive switching, recycling, and flexibility are overviewed comprehensively, showing great promising potentials in practical application due to the significantly enhanced durability and thermal safety of LIBs. Taking advantage of the self-healing core-shell structures, binders, capsules, or liquid metal alloys, these electrodes can maintain the mechanical integrity during the lithiation-delithiation cycling. After the incorporation of fire-extinguishing binders, current collectors, or capsules, flame retardants can be released spatiotemporally during thermal runaway to ensure safety. Thermoresponsive switching electrodes are also constructed though adding thermally responsive components, which can rapidly switch LIB off under abnormal conditions and resume their functions quickly when normal operating conditions return. Finally, the challenges of bio-inspired electrode designs are presented to optimize the spatiotemporal management of LIBs. It is anticipated that the proposed electrodes with spatiotemporal management will not only promote industrial application, but also strengthen the fundamental research of bionics in energy storage.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has emerged as a potent anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but faces challenges like low electrical conductivity and significant volume changes during lithiation/delithiation, leading to material pulverization and capacity degradation. Recent research on nanostructured Si aims to mitigate volume expansion and enhance electrochemical performance, yet still grapples with issues like pulverization, unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) growth, and interparticle resistance. This review delves into innovative strategies for optimizing Si anodes' electrochemical performance via structural engineering, focusing on the synthesis of Si/C composites, engineering multidimensional nanostructures, and applying non-carbonaceous coatings. Forming a stable SEI is vital to prevent electrolyte decomposition and enhance Li+ transport, thereby stabilizing the Si anode interface and boosting cycling Coulombic efficiency. We also examine groundbreaking advancements such as self-healing polymers and advanced prelithiation methods to improve initial Coulombic efficiency and combat capacity loss. Our review uniquely provides a detailed examination of these strategies in real-world applications, moving beyond theoretical discussions. It offers a critical analysis of these approaches in terms of performance enhancement, scalability, and commercial feasibility. In conclusion, this review presents a comprehensive view and a forward-looking perspective on designing robust, high-performance Si-based anodes the next generation of LIBs.

Abstract
Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is considered as a promising anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) result from its inherent characteristics such as high theoretical capacity, large interlayer spacing and weak interlayer Van der Waals force. Nevertheless, WS2 has the drawbacks of easy agglomeration, severe volume expansion and high Li+ migration barrier, which lead to rapid capacity degradation and imperfect rate ability. In this work, a novel two-dimensional (2D) hierarchical composite (Ti3C2/WS2) consisting of WS2 nanosheets vertically grown on titanium carbide (Ti3C2) nanosheets is prepared. Thanks to this distinctive hierarchical structure and synergy between WS2 and Ti3C2, the Ti3C2/WS2 composite demonstrates exceptional electrochemical performance in LIBs. In addition, we investigate the effect of the mass proportion of WS2 in Ti3C2/WS2 composite on the electrochemical performance, and find that the optimal mass ratio of WS2 is 60%. As expected, the optimal electrode exhibits a high specific capacity (650 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles) and ultra-long cycle stability (400 mAh/g at 1.0 A/g after 5000 cycles).

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is considered a high-capacity anode material with potential for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the commercial application of Si anode is seriously hindered by huge volume variation (>300%) and limited Li+ diffusion ability. Herein, lithium metasilicate (LS), a novel inorganic binder, was innovatively developed to accommodate these challenges. Favorable compatibility is observed between the LS binder and Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) due to the existence of Si element within the LS skeleton. The interaction of the LS binder and SiNPs leads to a strong adhesion effect, enhancing the cycling stability of Si anode. The Si electrode with the LS binder presented an average discharge capacity of 2123 mAh/g at 0.84 A/g after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the presence of the Li+ transport channel within the LS binder enhances Li+ diffusion ability within Si anode. As a result, the average discharge capacity reaches 663 mAh/g at 8.4 A/g. This work thus explored new inorganic binder design approaches for Si anode, contributing to the advancement of high-performance Si anode.

Abstract
This study aimed to address the challenges associated with silicon (Si) anode materials in Li-ion batteries, such as their large volume effect and poor electrical conductivity. To overcome these limitations, a novel composite microsphere called pSi/Ag was developed using quartz waste through a combination of high-energy ball-milling, spray drying, and magnesiothermic reduction techniques. The morphology and structure of the pSi/Ag composite were thoroughly characterized using various methods, including X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed that the Ag nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed within the porous micron-sized Si sphere particles, leading to enhanced electrochemical performance compared to pure porous silicon that did not undergo the spray drying process. The use of micron-sized Si prevented the excessive formation of the solid electrolyte interphase film, and the pSi/Ag-5 anode, prepared with 5 wt% AgNO3 as a precursor, demonstrated an impressive initial Coulombic efficiency of 92.8%. Moreover, a high specific capacity of 1251.4 mA h g-1 over 300 cycles at a current density of 4000 mA g-1 was attributed to the improved conductivity provided by the Ag nanoparticles in the Si matrix. The straightforward synthesis method employed in this study to produce pSi/Ag presents a promising approach for the future development of high-performance silicon anodes in Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Application of Si anodes is hindered by severe capacity fading due to pulverization of Si particles during the large volume changes of Si during charge/discharge and repeated formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase. To address these issues, considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of Si composites with conductive carbons (Si/C composites). However, Si/C composites with high C content inevitably show low volumetric capacity because of low electrode density. For practical applications, the volumetric capacity of a Si/C composite electrode is more important than gravimetric capacity, but volumetric capacity in pressed electrodes is rarely reported. Herein, a novel synthesis strategy is demonstrate for a compact Si nanoparticle/graphene microspherical assembly with interfacial stability and mechanical strength achieved by consecutively formed chemical bonds using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and sucrose. The unpressed electrode (density: 0.71 g cm-3 ) shows a reversible specific capacity of 1470 mAh g-1 with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 83.7% at a current density of 1 C-rate. The corresponding pressed electrode (density: 1.32 g cm-3 ) exhibits high reversible volumetric capacity of 1405 mAh cm-3 and gravimetric capacity of 1520 mAh g-1 with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 80.4% and excellent cycling stability of 83% over 100 cycles at 1 C-rate.

Abstract
Activated carbon supports for Si deposition with different porosities were prepared, and the effect of porosity on the electrochemical characteristics was investigated. The porosity of the support is a key parameter affecting the Si deposition mechanism and the stability of the electrode. In the Si deposition mechanism, as the porosity of activated carbon increases, the effect of particle size reduction due to the uniform dispersion of Si was confirmed. This implies that the porosity of activated carbon can affect the rate performance. However, excessively high porosity reduced the contact area between Si and activated carbon, resulting in poor electrode stability. Therefore, controlling the porosity of activated carbon is essential to improving the electrochemical characteristics.

Abstract
Pre-lithiation via electrolysis, herein defined as electrolytic pre-lithiation, using cost-efficient electrolytes based on lithium chloride (LiCl), is successfully demonstrated as a proof-of-concept for enabling lithium-ion battery full-cells with high silicon content negative electrodes. An electrolyte for pre-lithiation based on γ-butyrolactone and LiCl is optimized using boron-containing additives (lithium bis(oxalato)borate, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate) and CO2 with respect to the formation of a protective solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on silicon thin films as model electrodes. Reversible lithiation in Si||Li metal cells is demonstrated with Coulombic efficiencies (CEff ) of 95-96% for optimized electrolytes comparable to 1 m LiPF6 /EC:EMC 3:7. Formation of an effective SEI is shown by cyclic voltammetry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). electrolytic pre-lithiation experiments show that notable amounts of the gaseous product Cl2 dissolve in the electrolyte leading to a self-discharge Cl2 /Cl- shuttle mechanism between the electrodes lowering pre-lithiation efficiency and causing current collector corrosion. However, no significant degradation of the Si active material and the SEI due to contact with elemental chlorine is found by SEM, impedance, and XPS. In NCM111||Si full-cells, the capacity retention in the 100th cycle can be significantly increased from 54% to 78% by electrolytic pre-lithiation, compared to reference cells without pre-lithiation of Si.

Abstract
Carbon coatings can help to stabilize the electrochemical performance of high-energy anodes using silicon nanoparticles as the active material. In this work, the comparison of the behavior and chemical composition of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) was carried out between Si nanoparticles and carbon-coated Si nanoparticles (Si@C). A combination of two complementary analytical techniques, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), was used to determine the intrinsic characteristics of the SEI. It was demonstrated that the SEI on Si particles is more resistive than the SEI on the Si@C particles. XPS demonstrated that the interface on the Si particles contains more oxygen when not covered with carbon, which shows that a protective layer of carbon helps to reduce the number of inorganic components, leading to more resistive SEI. The combination of those two analytical techniques is implemented to highlight the features and evolution of interfaces in different battery technologies.

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.

Three-dimensional network of nitrogen-doped carbon matrix-encapsulated Si nanoparticles/carbon nanofibers hybrids for lithium-ion battery anodes with excellent capability. Sci Rep 2022; 12:16002.

Abstract
Three-dimensionally structured silicon (Si)–carbon (C) nanocomposites have great potential as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, we report a Nitrogen-doped graphene/carbon-encapsulated Si nanoparticle/carbon nanofiber composite (NG/C@Si/CNF) prepared by methods of surface modification, electrostatic self-assembly, cross-linking with heat treatment, and further carbonization as a potential high-performance anode for LIBs. The N-doped C matrix wrapped around Si nanoparticles improved the electrical conductivity of the composites and buffered the volume change of Si nanoparticles during lithiation/delithiation. Uniformly dispersed CNF in composites acted as conductive networks for the fast transport of ions and electrons. The entire tightly connected organic material of NG/C@Si and CNF prevented the crushing and shedding of particles and maintained the integrity of the electrode structure. The NG/C@Si/CNF composite exhibited better rate capability and cycling performance compared with the other electrode materials. After 100 cycles, the electrode maintained a high reversible specific capacity of 1371.4 mAh/g.

Abstract
The safety of lithium-ion batteries has caused notable concerns about their widespread adoption in electric vehicles. A nascent but promising approach to enhancing battery safety is using solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to develop all-solid-state batteries, which exhibit unrivaled safety and superior energy density. A new family of SSEs based on halogen chemistry has recently gained renewed interest because of their high ionic conductivity, high-voltage stability, good deformability, and cost-effective and scalable synthesis routes. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of halide SSEs concerning their crystal structures, ion transport kinetics, and viability for mass production. Furthermore, their moisture sensitivity and interfacial challenges are summarized with corresponding effective strategies. Last, halide-based all-solid-state Li-ion and Li-S pouch cells with energy density targets of 400 and 500 Wh kg-1 are projected to guide future endeavors. This work serves as a comprehensive guideline for developing halide SSEs from material design to practical application.

Abstract
The effects of a biomass-derived hard carbon matrix and a sustainable cross-linked binder are investigated as electrode components for a silicon-based anode in lithium-ion half-cells, in order to reduce the capacity fade due to volume expansion and shrinkage upon cycling. Ex situ Raman spectroscopy and impedance spectroscopy are used to deeply investigate the structural and interfacial properties of the material within a single cycle and upon cycling. An effective buffering of the volume changes of the composite electrode is evidenced, even at a high Si content up to 30% in the formulation, resulting in the retention of structural and interfacial integrity. As a result, a high capacity performance and a very good rate capability are displayed even at high current densities, with a stable cycling behavior and low polarization effects.

Impact of Full Prelithiation of Si-Based Anodes on the Rate and Cycle Performance of Li-Ion Capacitors. BATTERIES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
The impact of full prelithiation on the rate and cycle performance of a Si-based Li-ion capacitor (LIC) was investigated. Full prelithiation of the anode was achieved by assembling a half cell with a 2 µm-sized Si anode (0 V vs. Li/Li+) and Li metal. A three-electrode full cell (100% prelithiation) was assembled using an activated carbon (AC) cathode with a high specific surface area (3041 m2/g), fully prelithiated Si anode, and Li metal reference electrode. A three-electrode full cell (87% prelithiation) using a Si anode prelithiated with 87% Li ions was also assembled. Both cells displayed similar energy density levels at a lower power density (200 Wh/kg at ≤100 W/kg; based on the total mass of AC and Si). However, at a higher power density (1 kW/kg), the 100% prelithiation cell maintained a high energy density (180 Wh/kg), whereas that of the 87% prelithiation cell was significantly reduced (80 Wh/kg). During charge/discharge cycling at ~1 kW/kg, the energy density retention of the 100% prelithiation cell was higher than that of the 87% prelithiation cell. The larger irreversibility of the Si anode during the initial Li-ion uptake/release cycles confirmed that the simple full prelithiation process is essential for Si-based LIC cells.

Abstract
Silicon (Si)-based anode materials have been the promising candidates to replace commercial graphite, however, there are challenges in the practical applications of Si-based anode materials, including large volume expansion during Li+ insertion/deinsertion and low intrinsic conductivity. To address these problems existed for applications, nanostructured silicon materials, especially Si-based materials with three-dimensional (3D) porous structures have received extensive attention due to their unique advantages in accommodating volume expansion, transportation of lithium-ions, and convenient processing. In this review, we mainly summarize different synthesis methods of porous Si-based materials, including template-etching methods and self-assembly methods. Analysis of the strengths and shortages of the different methods is also provided. The morphology evolution and electrochemical effects of the porous structures on Si-based anodes of different methods are highlighted.

Abstract
Conformal coating of silicon (Si) anode particles is a common strategy for improving their mechanical integrity, to mitigate battery capacity fading due to particle volume expansion, which can result in particle crumbling due to lithiation induced strain and excessive solid-electrolyte interface formation. Here, we use operando transmission electron microscopy in an open cell to show that TiO2 coatings on Si/SiO2 particles undergo thickness dependent rupture on battery cycling where thicker coatings crumble more readily than thinner (∼5 nm) coatings, which corroborates the difference in their capacities.

Abstract
The 3D battery concept applied on silicon-graphite electrodes (Si/C) has revealed a significant improvement of battery performances, including high-rate capability, cycle stability, and cell lifetime. 3D architectures provide free spaces for volume expansion as well as additional lithium diffusion pathways into the electrodes. Therefore, the cell degradation induced by the volume change of silicon as active material can be significantly reduced, and the high-rate capability can be achieved. In order to better understand the impact of 3D electrode architectures on rate capability and degradation process of the thick film silicon-graphite electrodes, we applied laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). A calibration curve was established that enables the quantitative determination of the elemental concentrations in the electrodes. The structured silicon-graphite electrode, which was lithiated by 1C, revealed a homogeneous lithium distribution within the entire electrode. In contrast, a lithium concentration gradient was observed on the unstructured electrode. The lithium concentration was reduced gradually from the top to the button of the electrode, which indicated an inhibited diffusion kinetic at high C-rates. In addition, the LIBS applied on a model electrode with micropillars revealed that the lithium-ions principally diffused along the contour of laser-generated structures into the electrodes at elevated C-rates. The rate capability and electrochemical degradation observed in lithium-ion cells can be correlated to lithium concentration profiles in the electrodes measured by LIBS.

Abstract
Silicon, which has been widely studied by virtue of its extremely high theoretical capacity and abundance, is recognized as one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon undergoes tremendous volume change during cycling, which leads to the destruction of the electrode structure and irreversible capacity loss, so the promotion of silicon materials in commercial applications is greatly hampered. In recent years, many strategies have been proposed to address these shortcomings of silicon. This Review focused on different coatings materials (e. g., carbon-based materials, metals, oxides, conducting polymers, etc.) for silicon materials. The role of different types of materials in the modification of silicon-based material encapsulation structure was reviewed to confirm the feasibility of the protective layer strategy. Finally, the future research direction of the silicon-based material coating structure design for the next-generation lithium-ion battery was summarized.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) is a promising anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high electrical conductivity and capacity. However, the huge volume change of BP during cycling induces rapid capacity fading. In addition, the unclear electrochemical mechanism of BP hinders the development of rational designs and preparation of high-performance BP-based anodes. Here, a high-performance nanostructured BP-graphite-carbon nanotubes composite (BP/G/CNTs) synthesized using ball-milling method is reported. The BP/G/CNTs anode delivers a high initial capacity of 1375 mA h g-1 at 0.15 A g-1 and maintains 1031.7 mA h g-1 after 450 cycles. Excellent high-rate performance is demonstrated with a capacity of 508.1 mA h g-1 after 3000 cycles at 2 A g-1 . Moreover, for the first time, direct evidence is provided experimentally to present the electrochemical mechanism of BP anodes with three-step lithiation and delithiation using ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), ex situ X-ray emission spectroscopy, operando XRD, and operando XAS, which reveal the formation of Li3 P7 , LiP, and Li3 P. Furthermore, the study indicates an open-circuit relaxation effect of the electrode with ex situ and operando XAS analyses.

Abstract
Silicon anodes have a theoretical capacity of 3590 mAh g-1 (for Li15 Si4 , at room temperature), which is tenfold higher than the graphite anodes used in current Li-ion batteries. This, and silicon's natural abundance, makes it one of the most promising materials for next-generation batteries. Encapsulating silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) in a crumpled graphene shell by spray drying or spray pyrolysis are promising and scalable methods to produce core-shell structures, which buffer the extreme volume change (>300 vol %) caused by (de)lithiaton of silicon. However, capillary forces cause the graphene-based materials to tightly wrap around Si NP clusters, and there is little control over the void space required to further improve cycle life. Herein, a simple strategy is developed to engineer void-space within the core by incorporating varying amounts of similarly sized polystyrene (PS) nanospheres in the spray drier feed mixture. The PS completely decomposes during thermal reduction of the graphene oxide shell and results in Si cores of varying porosity. The best performance is achieved at a 1 : 1 ratio (PS/Si), leading to high capacities of 1638, 1468, and 1179 mAh g-1 Si+rGO at 0.1, 1, and 4 A g-1 , respectively. Moreover, at 1 A g-1 , the capacity retention is 80.6 % after 200 cycles. At a practical active material loading of 2.4 mg cm-2 , the electrodes achieve an areal capacity of 2.26 mAh cm-2 at 1 A g-1 .

Abstract
Recently, Si/C composite materials have attracted enormous research interest as the most promising candidates for the anodes of next-generation lithium-ion batteries, owing to their high energy density and mechanical buffering property. However, the fundamental mechanism of Li diffusion behavior in various Si/C composite materials remains unclear, with our understanding limited by experimental techniques and continuum modeling methodologies. Herein, the atomic behavior of Li diffusion in the Si/C composite material is studied within the framework of density functional theory. Two representative structural mixing formats, that is, simple mixture mode and core-shell mode, are modeled and compared. We discover that the carbon material increases Li diffusion in silicon from 7.75 × 10-5 to 2.097 × 10-4 cm2/s. The boost is about 50% more obvious in the mixture mode, while the core-shell structure shows more dependence on the atomic structures of the carbon layer. These results offer new insights into Li diffusion behavior in Si/C composites and unlock the enhancing mechanism for Li diffusion in Si/C. This understanding facilitates the modeling of batteries with composite anodes and will guide the corresponding structure designs for robust and high-energy-density batteries.

Abstract
Novel core-shell structure hard carbon/Si-carbon composites are prepared, and their electrochemical performances as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries are reported. Three different types of shell coating are applied using Si-carbon, Si-carbon black-carbon and Si-carbon black-carbon/graphite nanosheets. It appears that the use of n-Si/carbon black/carbon composite particles in place of n-Si for the shell coating is of great importance to achieve enhanced electrochemical performances from the core-shell composite samples, and additional wrapping with graphite nanosheets leads to a more stable cycle performance of the core-shell composites.

Abstract
Autonomic self-healing (SH), namely, the ability to repair damages from mechanical stress spontaneously, is polarizing attention in the field of new-generation electrochemical devices. This property is highly attractive to enhance the durability of rechargeable Li-ion batteries (LIBs) or Na-ion batteries (SIBs), where high-performing anode active materials (silicon, phosphorus, etc.) are strongly affected by volume expansion and phase changes upon ion insertion. Here, we applied a SH strategy, based on the dynamic quadruple hydrogen bonding, to nanosized black phosphorus (BP) anodes for Na-ion cells. The goal is to overcome drastic capacity decay and short lifetime, resulting from mechanical damages induced by the volumetric expansion/contraction upon sodiation/desodiation. Specifically, we developed novel ureidopyrimidinone (UPy)-telechelic systems and related blends with poly(ethylene oxide) as novel and green binders alternative to the more conventional ones, such as polyacrylic acid and carboxymethylcellulose, which are typically used in SIBs. BP anodes show impressively improved (more than 6 times) capacity retention when employing the new SH polymeric blend. In particular, the SH electrode still works at a current density higher than 3.5 A g-1, whereas the standard BP electrode exhibits very poor performances already at current densities lower than 0.5 A g-1. This is the result of better adhesion, buffering properties, and spontaneous damage reparation.

Abstract
The further deployment of silicon-based anode materials is hindered by their poor rate and cycling abilities due to the inferior electrical conductivity and large volumetric changes. Herein, we report a silicon/carbon nanotube (Si/CNT) composite made of an externally grown flexible carbon nanotube (CNT) network to confine inner multiple Silicon (Si) nanoparticles (Si NPs). The in situ generated outer CNTs networks, not only accommodate the large volume changes of inside Si NPs but also to provide fast electronic/ionic diffusion pathways, resulting in a significantly improved cycling stability and rate performance. This Si/CNT composite demonstrated outstanding cycling performance, with 912.8 mAh g-1 maintained after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1, and excellent rate ability of 650 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. Furthermore, the facial and scalable preparation method created in this work will make this new Si-based anode material promising for practical application in the next generation Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
The exploration of electrode materials is considered to be a crucial process affecting the development of lithium-ion batteries. However, the large-scale commercial application of the great mass of anode materials has been hampered by the challenges with conductivity and volume change. These problems can be solved by the combination of a carbon-matrix with anode materials, which has proven to be an effective strategy. This review aims to outline recent advances in carbon-matrix composite anodes based on different dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D and atomic scale) and functions, with the emphasis on the regulation of carbon distribution of composite anodes. Besides, the matrix forms and carbon sources have also been summarized. This review will provide some light on the future carbon-matrix electrode design trends for LIBs.

Abstract
Energy storage and conversion systems, including batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells, and photoelectrochemical water splitting, have played vital roles in the reduction of fossil fuel usage, addressing environmental issues and the development of electric vehicles. The fabrication and surface/interface engineering of electrode materials with refined structures are indispensable for achieving optimal performances for the different energy-related devices. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) techniques, the gas-phase thin film deposition processes with self-limiting and saturated surface reactions, have emerged as powerful techniques for surface and interface engineering in energy-related devices due to their exceptional capability of precise thickness control, excellent uniformity and conformity, tunable composition and relatively low deposition temperature. In the past few decades, ALD and MLD have been intensively studied for energy storage and conversion applications with remarkable progress. In this review, we give a comprehensive summary of the development and achievements of ALD and MLD and their applications for energy storage and conversion, including batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells, and photoelectrochemical water splitting. Moreover, the fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in different devices will be deeply reviewed. Furthermore, the large-scale potential of ALD and MLD techniques is discussed and predicted. Finally, we will provide insightful perspectives on future directions for new material design by ALD and MLD and untapped opportunities in energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Up to now, the silicon-graphite anode materials with commercial prospect for lithium batteries (LIBs) still face three dilemmas of the huge volume effect, the poor interface compatibility, and the high resistance. To address the above challenges, micro-nano structured composites of graphite coating by ZnO-incorporated and carbon-coated silicon (marked as Gr@ZnO-Si-C) are reasonably synthesized via an efficient and convenient method of liquid phase self-assembly synthesis combined with annealing treatment. The designed composites of Gr@ZnO-Si-C deliver excellent lithium battery performance with good rate performance and stable long-cycling life of 1000 cycles with reversible capacities of 1150 and 780 mAh g-1 tested at 600 and 1200 mA g-1 , respectively. The obtained results reveal that the incorporated ZnO effectively improve the interface compatibility between electrolyte and active materials, and boost the formation of compact and stable surface solid electrolyte interphase layer for electrodes. Furthermore, the pyrolytic carbon layer formed from polyacrylamide can directly improve electrical conductivity, decrease polarization, and thus promote their electrochemical performance. Finally, based on the scalable preparation of Gr@ZnO-Si-C composites, the pouch full cells of Gr@ZnO-Si-C||NCM523 are assembled and used to evaluate the commercial prospects of Si-graphite composites, offering highly useful information for researchers working in the battery industry.

Abstract
High-entropy oxides based on transition metals, such as Mg0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2O (TM-HEO), have recently drawn special attention as potential anodes in lithium-ion batteries due to high specific capacity and cycling reversibility. However, the lithiation/delithiation mechanism of such systems is still controversial and not clearly addressed. Here, we report on an operando XAS investigation into TM-HEO-based anodes for lithium-ion cells during the first lithiation/delithiation cycle. This material showed a high specific capacity exceeding 600 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and Coulombic efficiency very close to unity. The combination of functional and advanced spectroscopic studies revealed complex charging mechanisms, developing through the reduction of transition-metal (TM) cations, which triggers the conversion reaction below 1.0 V. The conversion is irreversible and incomplete, leading to the final collapse of the HEO rock-salt structure. Other redox processes are therefore discussed and called to account for the observed cycling behavior of the TM-HEO-based anode. Despite the irreversible phenomena, the HEO cubic structure remains intact for ∼60% of lithiation capacity, so proving the beneficial role of the configuration entropy in enhancing the stability of the HEO rock-salt structure during the redox phenomena.

Abstract
Silicone (Si) is one type of anode materials with intriguingly high theoretical capacity. However, the severe volume change associated with the repeated lithiation and delithiation processes hampers the mechanical/electrical integrity of Si anodes and hence reduces the battery's cycle-life. To address this issue, sequence-defined peptoids are designed and fabricated with two tailored functional groups, "-OH" and "-COOH", as cross-linkable polymeric binders for Si anodes of LIBs. Experimental results show that both the capacity and stability of such peptoids-bound Si anodes can be significantly improved due to the decreased cracks of Si nanoparticles. Particularly, the 15-mer peptoid binder in Si anode can result in a much higher reversible capacity (ca. 3110 mAh g-1) after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 compared to other reported binders in literature. According to the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is the functional groups presented on the side chains of peptoids that facilitate the formation of Si-O binding efficiency and robustness, and then maintain the integrity of the Si anode. The sequence-designed polymers can act as a new platform for understanding the interactions between binders and Si anode materials, and promote the realization of high-performance batteries.

Abstract
Synthesis of silicon/carbon (Si/C) composites from biomass resources could enable the effective utilization of agricultural products in the battery industry with economical as well as environmental benefits. Herein, a simplified process was developed to synthesize Si/C from biomass, by using a low-cost agricultural byproduct "rice husk (RH)" as a model. This process includes the calcination of RH for SiO2 /C and the reduction of SiO2 /C by Al in molten salts at a moderate temperature. This process does not need the removal of carbon before thermal reduction of SiO2 , which is thought to be necessary to avoid the formation of SiC at elevated temperatures. Thus, carbon derived from biomass can be directly used for Si/C composites for anode materials. The resultant Si/C shows a high reversible capacity of 1309 mAh g-1 and long cycle life (300 cycles). This research advocates a new and simplified strategy for the synthesis of RH-based biomass-derived Si/C, which is beneficial for low-cost, environmentally friendly, and green energy storage applications.

Abstract
Carbon-coated silicon micro- and nanostructures have been widely used as composite anodes for lithium-ion batteries combining the benefits of high theoretical capacity of Si and better conductivity of carbon. To optimize structures that allow the Si volume expansion without losing the electrical connection, a detailed carbon protection mechanism is desired. We fabricate a network of interconnected sandwich branches with a silicon thin film encapsulated between a porous 3-dimensional graphene foam and graphene drapes (so-called a graphene ensemble). This prototype binder-free anode, of great mechanical strength and composed of only silicon and few-layer graphene, provides distinct signals under operando Raman spectroscopy. During electrochemical cycles, the graphene G peak shows variation of peak position and intensity, while the 2D peak experiences a negligible shift from limited deformation. Silicon displays excellent structural reversibility under the sandwich protection, validating the functions of graphenic carbon coating. This specific graphene ensemble can also serve as an experimental scaffold for mechanical and chemical analysis of many active materials.
