Abstract

SiO2 is one of the most abundant materials on Earth. It is cost-effective and also environmentally benign when used as an energy material. Although SiO2 was inactive to Li, it was engineered to react directly by a simple process. It exhibited a strong potential as a promising anode for Li-ion batteries.
