Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, clean energy storage, and other fields due to their long service life, high energy density, and low self-discharge rate, which also puts forward higher requirements for the performance of lithium-ion batteries. As an anode for lithium-ion batteries, SiO materials have garnered significant attention from researchers due to its high specific capacity (2400 mAh g), abundance of raw materials, and simple preparation. However, its large volume change (~200 %) and poor electrical conductivity hinder its large-scale commercial application. Researchers employ various methods to reduce the volume change of SiO during lithium intercalation and improve its structural stability during cycling. This work mainly reviews the chemical structure and lithium storage mechanism of SiO, as well as the latest research progress on the preparation methods of SiO/C anode materials, focusing on summarizing the following preparation strategies: chemical vapor deposition, mechanical ball milling, spray drying, and in-situ reduction/oxidation methods. The obtained SiO-based anode materials' structural characteristics and electrochemical properties are compared and summarized. Finally, this review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the current preparation methods, the future research directions, and the development prospects of SiO-based anode materials.

A sustainable supply of lithium from salt-lake brines is necessary due to the surge in demand of the lithium-battery market. However, the presence of coexisting ions, particularly Na, poses a significant challenge due to the similarities in charge, electronic structure, and hydrated size. The electrochemical system with manganese (Mn)-based lithium-ion (Li) sieves electrodes is a promising method for Li recovery, but often suffers from geometric configuration distortion, which reduces their selectivity and capacity.

Designing spent graphite anodes from lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for applications beyond regenerated batteries offers significant potential for promoting the recycling of spent LIBs. The battery-grade graphite, characterized by a highly graphitized structure, demonstrates excellent conductive loss capabilities, making it suitable for microwave absorption. During the Li-ion intercalation and deintercalation processes in battery operation, the surface layer of spent graphite (SG) becomes activated, forming oxygen-rich functional groups that enhance the polarization loss mechanism.

The global lithium-ion battery recycling capacity needs to increase by a factor of 50 in the next decade to meet the projected adoption of electric vehicles. During this expansion of recycling capacity, it is unclear which technologies are most appropriate to reduce costs and environmental impacts. Here, we describe the current and future recycling capacity situation and summarize methods for quantifying costs and environmental impacts of battery recycling methods with a focus on cathode active materials.

During the initial cycling of lithium-ion batteries, the generation of SEI at the electrode-electrolyte interface and the occurrence of irreversible side reactions consume the active lithium, resulting in irreversible loss of volume (ICL), which may also be accompanied by electrode volume changes and structural collapse. Addressing these challenges has become critical, and pre-lithiation with additional lithium has emerged as a key way to improve battery performance. Hence, this review comprehensively analyzes and summarizes the causes of ICL in lithium-ion batteries, and systematically discusses various prelithiation methods and mechanisms of different electrode structures, especially electrodes.

We report a silicon anode for lithium-ion batteries consisting of a layer of 100% nanotubes directly bonded to copper foil. The process involved silicon deposition on a sacrificial zinc oxide nanorod film and removal of zinc oxide to produce a nanotube film directly on thin copper foils. The thickness of resulting films ranged from 9 to 20 μm with Si nanotubes having diameters of 200-400 nm and lengths of 2-10 μm.
