Silicon-Based MOF-Derived Nanomaterials for Additive Manufacturing by 3D Printing of the Next Generation of Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes ( Strategic Projects Oriented to the Ecological Transition and the Digital Transition 2021, TED2021-132522B-I00)

This project will combine the design and characterization of porous nanosilicon@metallo-organic network (m-nSi@MOF) nanoparticles and hybrid composites derived from MOF with heart@shell structure, nanosilicon@carbon (m-nSi@C) and nanosilicon @metal oxide@carbon (m-nSi@MO@C) poroso, as new anode materials for LIBs with the aim of exploiting the excellent theoretical capacity and low Li ion absorption voltage of silicon while overcoming the drawbacks associated with a process such as: the excessive change in its silicon volume during its lithiation-deslithiation and its deficient electronic conductivity and diffusivity of Li, factors that impede its commercial development.
