摘要：Micro-sized silicon anodes offer excellent lithium storage capacity for lithium-ion batteries, which has attracted extensive research. However, their substantial volume expansion and inherently low electrical conductivity severely limit their practical application. There is a challenge to develop an environmentally friendly and scalable approach to synthesize micro-sized Si/C composites that combine high areal capacity, excellent rate capability, and outstanding cycling performance. Here, we developed a novel strategy to synthesize micro-sized hierarchical micro-mesoporous silicon-carbon/carbon nanotubes (mu pSi-C@CNTs) composites using CO2 as a carbon source. Such composites possess outstanding electronic and ionic conductivity, electrochemical and structural stability, which can serve as an industrial-standard anodes with high areal capacity (e.g., 6.8 mA h cm(-2) or 2119.6 mA h g(-1)), good rate capability (e.g., 2.9 mA h cm(-2) or 905.8 mA h g(-1) at 12.8 mA cm(-2)), and outstanding cycling performance (e.g., a decay of only 0.038 % per cycle at 6.4 mA cm(-2)), which exceeds previously reported. The excellent structural stability of mu pSi-C@CNTs electrode during lithiation was observed through in situ optical microscopy. Interestingly, finite element simulations revealed that CNT wrapping and carbon coating could alleviate the huge volume change of mu pSi. The practical potential application of mu pSiC@CNTs is evaluated by full cell tests with a NCM811 cathode. This work offers an effective route for conversion of CO2 into high value-added energy storage materials for a broad range of applications.
