Silicon is well known as a very promising anode material because it has an extremely high theoretical specific capacity of ~4200 mA h g-1 and some other advantages such as low discharge potential, non-toxicity and abundance, etc. However, it is found that anodes based on bulk or micron-sized Si exhi...
