Silicon (Si) has gained huge attention as an anode material for next-generation high-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, despite its overwhelming beneficial features, its large-scale commercialization is hampered due to unavoidable challenges such as colossal volume change during (de)­al...
