Silicon is a desirable anode material for Li-ion batteries owing to its remarkable theoretical specific capacity of over 4000 mAh/g. Nevertheless, the poor cycling performance of pure Si electrodes caused by dramatic volume expansion has limited its practical application. To alleviate the adverse effects of Si expansion, we have synthesized anode materials of nano-Si particles trapped in a buffering space and outer carbon-based shells (Si@Void@C). The volume ratio of Si nanoparticle to void space could be adjusted accurately to approximately 1:3, which maintained the structural integrity of the as-designed nanoarchitecture during lithiation/delithiation and achieved a notable specific capacity of ~750 mAh/g for as-prepared half-cells. The yolk-shell nanostructure alleviates volumetric expansion on both material and electrode levels, which enhances the rate performance and cycling stability of the silicon-based anode.
