Scalable synthesis of ant-nest-like bulk porous silicon for high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes

Silicon is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries but experiences large volume changes during cycling. Here the authors report a scalable method to synthesize porous ant-nest-like silicons. The unique structure of this anode solves the swelling problem and enables impressive performanc...
