Popis: Silicon (Si) with porous structure could possibly accommodate the large volume expansion of Si in lithium ion batteries, avoiding fast capacity fading during charge/discharge. Herein, we report a composite electrode made from porous Si with only 5 wt% conductive polymer binder. By limiting the lithiation level, we demonstrate a stable cycled cell with a greatly extended cycle life and high coulombic efficiency beyond 99.5%. Both the morphology study and electrochemical characterization suggest that electrodes are able to accommodate over 50% volume change without any capacity fading during cell operation.
