title: In situ growth of MOFs on the surface of si nanoparticles for highly efficient lithium storage: Si@MOF nanocomposites as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
abstract: A simple yet powerful one-pot strategy is developed to prepare metal-organic framework-coated silicon nanoparticles via in situ mechanochemical synthesis. After simple pyrolysis, the thus-obtained composite shows exceptional electrochemical properties with a lithium storage capacity up to 1050 mA h g(-1), excellent cycle stability (>99% capacity retention after 500 cycles) and outstanding rate performance. These characteristics, combined with their high stability and ease of fabrication, make such Si@MOF nanocomposites ideal alternative candidates as high-energy anode materials in lithium-ion batteries.
