A silicon-based anode is one of the most promising materials for high-current-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, volume expansion pure Si and complex synthesis SiOx make their practical application challenging. On other hand, SiO2, as another alternative to Si-based anodes, has attractive properties such high theoretical capacity, abundance elements, cost-effectiveness, mechanical strength. Nevertheless, due its intrinsic poor electrochemical activity lithiation, it challenging...
