“…Nevertheless, it should be noted that these new batteries are still far from mature. There are many technical challenges in translating research lab findings to scalable industrial production . Significant research and development efforts are required to make them competitive with the existing state‐of‐the‐art Li‐ion batteries for practical PED applications.…”

Portable electronic devices (PEDs) are promising information‐exchange platforms for real‐time responses. Their performance is becoming more and more sensitive to energy consumption. Rechargeable batteries are the primary energy source of PEDs and hold the key to guarantee their desired performance stability. With the remarkable progress in battery technologies, multifunctional PEDs have constantly been emerging to meet the requests of our daily life conveniently. The ongoing surge in demand for high‐performance PEDs inspires the relentless pursuit of even more powerful rechargeable battery systems in turn. In this review, we present how battery technologies contribute to the fast rise of PEDs in the last decades. First, a comprehensive overview of historical advances in PEDs is outlined. Next, four types of representative rechargeable batteries and their impacts on the practical development of PEDs are described comprehensively. The development trends toward a new generation of batteries and the future research focuses are also presented.

“…[84] Another approach is to fabricate Sibased hybrids through compositing the Si species with an appropriate but less active matter, such as carbon, conductive polymers, transition metal oxides, and so on. [85] In these Sibased composite anodic materials, the introduced components prevent the serious formation of the SEI layers, improve the electronic conductivity, as well as protect the active species from the large volume change, leading to the maintaining of the structural and electrochemical integrities of the anodic materials. The introduction of carbonaceous species is viewed as an effective method to ameliorate the lithium storage performance of the nanostructured Si-based anodic materials.…”

Bio‐inspired synthetic method provides an effective shortcut to fabricate functional nanostructured materials with specific morphologies and designed functionalities. Natural cellulose substances (e. g., commercial laboratory cellulose filter paper) possesses unique three‐dimensionally cross‐linked porous structures and abundant functional groups for the functional modification on the surfaces. The deposition of metal oxide gel film on the surfaces of the cellulose nanofibers is facilely to be achieved through the surface sol‐gel process, resulting in metal oxide replicas of the initial cellulose substance or metal‐oxide/carbon nanocomposites. Moreover, the as‐deposited metal oxide gel films coated on the cellulose fiber surfaces provide ideal platforms for the further formation of specific functional assemblies, and eventually to the corresponding nanocomposite materials. Based on this methodology, various nanostructured composites were prepared and employed as anodic materials for lithium‐ion batteries, including metal‐oxides‐based (such as SnO2, TiO2, MoO3, FexOy, and SiO2) and Si‐based composites, as summarized in this personal account. Benefiting from the unique hierarchically porous network structures and the synergistic effects among the composite components of the anodic materials, the transfer of electrons/ions is accelerated and the structural stability of the electrode is enhanced, leading to the improved lithium storage performances and promoted cycling stability.

“…Silicon has great application potential and market prospects as it possesses the highest ever‐known theoretical specific capacity (4200 mAh g −1 ), which is more than 10 times that of graphite anode (372 mAh g −1 ) . And, compared with other anodes, it also has a lower operating potential (0.4 V vs Li / Li + ) . However, there exist still some serious problems for its commercialization as an anode material.…”

In this report, a yolk‐shell‐structured Si/graphene (Si/GR) material has been designed and successfully fabricated as an anode for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). With this approach, Si@Ni composite particles were fabricated by electroless deposition of a nickel template directly on silicon; then, three‐dimensional (3D) graphene layers were grown in situ around the composite particles to obtain a Si@Ni@GR structure. After removing the nickel interlayer, some voids were generated between the silicon particles and the graphene layers, thus forming a Si@void@GR structure. The coexistence of voids and the graphene layer may provide a synergistic effect. The voids may reserve space for silicon particles during volume expansion and buffer the mechanical pressure of the graphene layer. Meanwhile, the graphene cover may enhance lithium‐ion transport efficiency and electron transport rate, thereby improving the electrical conductivity of the anode. The well‐coated layers can also prevent the Si particles from being directly exposed to electrolyte, which can promote the formation of a stable SEI film and reduce the irreversible consumption of Li+. Therefore, such unique yolk‐shell structures offer the resultant Si@void@GR electrode a high reversible discharge capacity (1595 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g−1) and the capacity to deliver a discharge capacity of 990 mAh g−1 even at a high current density of 4.8 A g−1.
