Silicon is one of the most promising anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries because of the highest known theoretical capacity and abundance in the earth' crust. Unfortunately, significant “breathing effect” during insertion/deinsertion of lithium in the continuous charge‐discharge processes causes the seriously structural degradation, thus losing specific capacity and increasing battery impedance. To overcome the resultant rapid capacity decay, significant achievements has been made in developing various nanostructures and surface coating approaches in terms of the improvement of structural stability and realizing the long cycle times. Here, the recent progress in surface and interface engineering of silicon‐based anode materials such as core‐shell, yolk‐shell, sandwiched structures and their applications in lithium‐ion batteries are reviewed. Some feasible strategies for the structural design and boosting the electrochemical performance are highlighted. Future research directions in the field of silicon‐based anode materials for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries are summarized.

“…However, the high reactivity between lithiated M and O 2 on the interface of the anode and the electrotype triggers additional irreversible reaction, thus resulting in large irreversible loss of lithium ions and rapid attenuation of capacity. In addition, many problems must be addressed to facilitate their further applications in Li–O 2 batteries; nonetheless, many exciting breakthroughs, including high specific capacity, long‐term cycle lifespan, and fast charging rates, have been achieved for nanostructured M (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Al) anodes . For example, a high specific surface area of nanostructured Li x Si (or Li x Sn) anodes will strengthen the reactivity caused by Li x Si (or Li x Sn) and O 2 , which further leads to increased irreversible capacity loss and lowered Coulombic efficiency during the charge/discharge cycles.…”

Lithium metal for rechargeable aprotic Li–O2 batteries is considered one of the most fascinating anode materials that can deliver high theoretical specific capacity, low density, and low negative electrochemical potential. Although lithium‐metal anodes have been studied extensively for decades, the cycling performance of rechargeable aprotic Li–O2 batteries based on lithium‐metal anodes is rather poor because of the unresolved security issues related to lithium dendrites and contaminant (O2, H2O) crossover from cathode to anode. Here, the critical issues and challenges facing lithium‐containing anodes associated with the security, stability, and efficiency are analyzed. Moreover, the latest research progress and strategies used to improve the performance of aprotic Li–O2 batteries based on lithium‐containing anode are reviewed. Perspectives toward the development of highly stable lithium‐containing anodes are also presented.

Silicon, as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIB), is intensively researched. Although various efforts is devoted to addressing major issues of silicon anodes, the intrinsic low conductivity and tremendous volume change still hinder its further real practical applications. Constructing carbon-silicon hybrid materials is regarded as the powerful strategy to improve the electrochemical lithium storage performance of silicon, in which the component dimensional variations and the dimensional hybridization way play critical roles in improving lithium storage performances. Carbon-silicon hybrids are classified herein, based on dimensional variations of silicon and carbon, and the latest representative progresses on carbon-silicon hybrids following such classifications are elaborated, with emphasis on the involved dimensional design formulas, the resultant synergistic effects, and the potential in performance enhancement. To conclude, the future directions and prospects in the field are discussed, providing insight into the rational design and scalable construction of advanced carbon-silicon hybrids and electrode systems for practical LIB.
