Lithiophilic 3D-Si/SiO_x host for dendrite free lithium metal battery via simple magnesiothermic reduction process.

ABSTRACT: In the development of renewable energy sources, batteries are considered the best option for energy storage. High energy density and high performance are key demands for emerging technologies. Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) are considered promising candidates for storing generated energy. However, the formation of lithium dendrites and infinite volume expansion during cycling are serious limitations in current LMB applications. 3D-structured anodes have received considerable attention as an effective solution to overcome these problems. Herein, we synthesize a lithiophilic 3D-Si/SiO_x host for LMBs via a simple magnesiothermic reduction process (MRP). The 3D porous SiO_x structure provides a large specific surface area, which reduces local current density and offers amp
