Macroporous Directed and Interconnected Carbon Architectures Endow Amorphous Silicon Nanodots as Low-Strain and Fast-Charging Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

HighlightsMPCF@VG@SiNDs/C, constructed by uniformly dispersing amorphous Si nanodots in carbon nanospheres that are welded on the wall of the macroporous carbon frameworks by vertical graphene, is synthesized and has achieved a few kilogram production per batch.Finite element imitation reveals that amorphous Si nanodots with high dispersity in carbon nanosphere can achieve ultra-low stress and strain values during lithiation.Unique low-strain property and fast-charging capability are achieved under industrial electrode conditions.
