Abstract:SiO 2 structures show great promise for increasing the energy density of anodes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, high control of the area, porosity, and morphology of SiO 2 particles is critical to optimize anodes electrochemical performance, and the lack of sustainable methods for producing SiO 2 particles with tailored properties at the nanoand microscale represents a serious challenge. Exoskeletons of diatoms (microalgae) display nanoporous structures made of SiO 2 , and each diato… Show more
