Nano silicon integrated hard carbon from conjugated microporous polymer for high‐efficient lithium storage

It is a significant issue to develop silicon/carbon composite anode with high‐capacity and long cycling stability for lithium‐ion batteries. However, the huge volume expansion of silicon during lithiation leads to severe pulverization of silicon, resulting in serious capacity fading over cycles. Herein, nano silicon integrated hard carbon (20Si@HC, 20 wt.% nano silicon) is prepared by pyrolyzing nano silicon in‐situ coated a conjugated microporous polymer (CMP). CMP‐derived hard carbon coating features developed porous structure, which not only deliver a high lithium storage capacity, but also provide enough space for the volume expansion of nano silicon.
