Abstract

Silicon oxide (SiO_x) is a promising anode candidate of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its extremely high specific capacity. However, the low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and rapid capacity degradation of SiO_x, triggered by the enormous volume variation upon repeated (de)lithiation, gravely hinder its practical use. Herein, two mass‐produced micro‐sized SiO_x@C composites with obviously different morphologies for commercial LIBs are reported. Particularly, the SiO_x‐graphite blended anode (SiO_x@3D‐G‐Gr) based on SiO_xwrapped by three‐dimensional (3D) carbon layers (SiO_x@3D‐G) exhibits a capacity of 519 mAh g⁻¹, an ICE of 90.0 % and a capacity retention of 83.4 % at 0.2 C over 100 cycles. which is far exceeding its counterpart SiO_x@C‐H‐Gr (65.7 %). The obtained impressive properties of SiO_x@3D‐G originate from the critical contribution of 3D carbon layers, which serves as the effective stress buffer and protective layer as well as the strong networks for electron/Li⁺transport. Accordingly, the full‐cell based on SiO_x@3D‐G‐Gr anode and commercial LiCoO₂cathode delivers a capacity of 803 mAh and an excellent capacity retention of 95.6 % (616 mAh, 96.6 % for graphite, respectively) at 1 C over 100 cycles with a stabilized CE of nearly 100 %. The micro‐sized SiO_x@3D‐G showing a promising prospect in the commercial‐grade anodes in LIBs.
