“…To deal with the problems caused by volume change, extensive efforts have been devoted to the design of reasonable Si nanostructures, including nanoparticles, , nanowires, , and nanotubes. , It has been revealed that, during the lithiation and delithiation processes, Si particles having a critical size of less than 150 nm will not fracture or pulverize . The fabrication methods of nanostructured Si include chemical vapor deposition, magnesiothermic reduction reaction, , laser ablation, , and ball milling. − Among these methods, ball milling is cost-effective, easy for mass production, and much more possible for commercial application.…”
