Graphical Abstract
Front cover image: The cost-effective fabrication of silicon-carbon (Si/C) anode materials is crucial for their industrial application. However, challenges such as high raw material costs, difficult morphology control, and low product yield persist. In article number cey2.70004, Shen et al. develop a binder-regulated spray granulation strategy to convert photovoltaic silicon waste into high-yield, cost-effective Si/C materials for lithium-ion battery anodes, offering a new pathway for the value-added utilization of silicon waste and its industrial-scale application.
