Popis: The huge volumetric expansion (300 %) of Si that occurs during the charge-discharge process makes it to have poor cycling ability and weak stable structure. These factors are considered as critical obstacles to the further development of Si as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, novel 3D interpenetrating microspheres, i.e., Si@C-CNTs, which consist of silicon nanoparticles interpenetrated with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and stuck with amorphous carbon (C) have been designed and prepared via a spray-drying assisted approach. As anode of LIBs, Si@C-CNTs microspheres can achieve high silicon loadings of around 86 % and a high initial coulomb efficiency of 80.8 %. The electrodes maintain a reversible specific capacity of 1585.9mAh/g at 500 mA g
