Conclusions and outlook In summary, a comprehensive review is presented on the crystal structures and thermal reduction strategies of natural silicate minerals, as well as the extracted Si nanostructures for promising employments in clean and sustainable energy storage and conversion.
The development of high-performance electrode materials is a long running theme in the field of energy storage. Silicon is undoubtedly among the most promising next-generation anode material for lithium batteries.
Si nanomaterials of diverse morphologies extracted from natural silicate minerals were reviewed for the first time. Both energy storage/conversion applications of Si nanostructures prepared via the reduction strategies were summarized. Several typical reduction strategies for the thermic reduction of natural silicate minerals were introduced.
Hence, the utilization of crystalline Si has been identified as a promising material, not just for anodes in Li-ion batteries 9, 10, 11, 12, but also highly relevant to emerging technologies like all-solid-state-batteries 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
Although the number of studies of various phenomena related to the performance of nanomaterials in energy storage is increasing year by year, only a few of them—such as graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon black, and silicon nanoparticles—are currently used in commercial devices, primarily as additives (18).
The development of nanomaterials and their related processing into electrodes and devices can improve the performance and/or development of the existing energy storage systems. We provide a perspective on recent progress in the application of nanomaterials in energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries.
