To demonstrate the influence of the origin of Si materials on their performance in Li-ion batteries, Si nanoparticles were synthesized via silane pyrolysis. We highlight the importance of morphology engineering for creating long-lasting materials for Li-ion batteries.
MCMB@Si@C microspheres, in which silicon nanoparticles were closely connected with MCMB through strong chemical bonds, were synthesized as high-performance Li-ion battery anodes for the first time.
