Research on the Preparation of Silicon‐Based Anodes for Lithium‐Ion Batteries by Electrospinning

Silicon‐based materials are widely regarded as one of the most promising anode materials for next‐generation high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) due to their exceptionally high theoretical specific capacity and low cost. However, silicon undergoes significant volume expansion and contraction during the insertion and de‐insertion of lithium ions (Li + ), leading to severe structural degradation. This degradation results in rapid capacity fading and a significant decline in battery performance, thereby hindering the practical application and further development of silicon‐based anode materials. Electrospinning, as a simple, low‐cost, and efficient method for fabricating nanofibrous materials, offers a promising solution to address these limitations. This review provides an overview of the application of electrospinning in the development of silicon‐based anode materials, covering the basic principles and characteristics of electrospinning, and thoroughly analyzing the performance and challenges associated with silicon‐based anode materials. The review particularly focuses on the electrospinning of silicon‐based composite nanomaterials, detailing the development of advanced silicon/carbon, silicon/metal, silicon/metal oxide, and other hybrid composite structures. Finally, the review discusses potential future research directions and technological breakthroughs, aiming to provide comprehensive insights for academic research and practical applications in the field of energy storage technologies.
