Nanoporous silicon is considered an attractive next-generation anode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its much higher theoretical capacity and lower operating voltage than the commonly used graphitic carbon materials. Even after 4,000 cycles and at a rate of 10C, the anode achieved a specific capacity of 420 mAhg -1.
