Silicon anodes are also being constantly improved. Nanoparticles of silicon have shown to be ideal materials for anode application as they do not rupture below a size of 150 nm . Nano particles help in the reduction of stress within the material thereby preventing enough issues. Porous silicon has also been seen as a promising material for anode application. The pores accommodate the silicon volume expansion. Silicon carbon nanocomposites have been observed to reduce capacity fading caused by volume changes in silicon anode . Other nanostructures of silicon such as 0D , 1D , , , 2D thin films and 3D porous structures have been seen to increase the cycling stability. Si/C composite materials have also shown promise as a potential commercial anode material for LiBs .
