A 3D mechanically stable scaffold is shown to accommodate the volume change of a high-specific-capacity nickel–tin nanocomposite during operation as a Li-ion battery anode. Here, the nickel–tin anode is supported by an electrochemically inactive conductive scaffold with an engineered free volume and controlled characteristic dimensions, which engender the electrode with significantly improved cyclability.
