To address the challenge of the huge volume expansion of silicon anode, carbon-coated silicon has been developed as an effective design strategy due to the improved conductivity and stable electrochemical interface. However, although carbon-coated silicon anodes exhibit improved cycling stability, the complex synthesis methods and uncontrollable structure adjustment still make the carbon-coated silicon anodes hard to popularize in practical application. Herein, we propose a facile method to fabricate sponge-like porous nano carbon-coated silicon (sCCSi) with a tunable pore structure. Through the strategy of adding water into precursor solution combined with a slow heating rate of pre-oxidation, a sponge-like porous structure can be formed. Furthermore, the porous structure can be controlled through stirring temperature and oscillation methods. Owing to the inherent material properties and the sponge-like porous structure, sCCSi shows high conductivity, high specific surface area, and stable chemical bonding. As a result, the sCCSi with normal and excessive silicon-to-carbon ratios all exhibit excellent cycling stability, with 70.6% and 70.2% capacity retentions after 300 cycles at 500 mA g−1, respectively. Furthermore, the enhanced buffering effect on pressure between silicon nanoparticles and carbon material due to the sponge-like porous structure in sCCSi is further revealed through mechanical simulation. Considering the facile synthesis method, flexible regulation of porous structure, and high cycling stability, the design of the sCCSi paves a way for the synthesis of high-stability carbon-coated silicon anodes.

AbstractThe citrate-based thermoset elastomer is a promising candidate for bone scaffold material, but the harsh curing condition made it difficult to fabricate porous structure. Recently, poly (1, 8-octanediol-co-Pluronic F127 citrate) (POFC) porous scaffold was creatively fabricated by chitin nanofibrils (ChiNFs) supported emulsion-freeze-casting. Thanks to the supporting role of ChiNFs, the lamellar pore structure formed by directional freeze-drying was maintained during the subsequent thermocuring. Herein, bioactive glass (BG) was introduced into the POFC porous scaffolds to improve bioactivity. It was found the complete replacement of ChiNF particles with BG particles could not form a stable porous structure; however, existing at least 15 wt% ChiNF could ensure the formation of lamellar pore, and the interlamellar distance increased with BG ratios. Thus, the BG granules did not contribute to the formation of pore structure like ChiNFs, however, they surely endowed the scaffolds with enhanced mechanical properties, improved osteogenesis bioactivity, better cytocompatibility as well as quick degradation rate. Reasonably adjusting BG ratios could balance the requirements of porous structure and bioactivity.

AbstractPeriodic 2-dimensional (2-D) hexagonal and the disordered pore structure silica films have been developed using nonionic surfactants as the templates. The pore structure was controlled by the static electrical interaction between the micelle of the surfactant and the silica oligomer. No X-ray diffraction peaks were observed for the disordered mesoporous silica films, while the pore diameters of 2.0-4.0 nm could be measured by small angle X-ray scattering spectroscopy. By comparing the properties of the 2-D hexagonal and the disordered porous silica films which have the same porosity, it is found that the disordered porous silica film has advantages in terms of the dielectric constant and Young's modulus as well as the hardness. The disordered porous silica film is more suitable for the interlayer dielectrics for ULSI.
