Silicon (Si) anodes are promising in lithium-ion batteries owing to their high specific capacity and suitable voltage platform. However, particle volume expansion (>300 %) and the continuous consumption of Li+ to form new interfacial layers result in poor cycle performance. We report a sustainabl...
