Constructing a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on high-specific-capacity silicon (Si) anode is one of the most effective methods to reduce the crack of SEI and improve the cycling performance of Si anode. Herein, the authors construct a reinforced and gradient SEI on Si nanoparticles by an in-situ thiol-ene click reaction. Mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) with thiol functional groups (SH) is first grafted on the Si nanoparticles through condensation reaction, which then in-situ covalently bonds with vinylene carbonate (VC) to form a reinforced and uniform SEI on Si nanoparticles. The modified SEI with sufficient elastic LixSiOy can homogenize the stress and strain during the lithiation of Si nanoparticles to reduce their expansion and prevent the SEI from cracking. The Si nanoparticles-graphite blending anode with the reinforced SEI exhibits excellent performance with an initial coulombic efficiency of ≈90%, a capacity of 1053.3 mA h g−1 after 500 cycles and a high capacity of 852.8 mA h g−1 even at a high current density of 3 A g−1. Moreover, the obtained anode shows superior cycling stability under both high loadings and lean electrolyte. The in-situ thiol-ene click reaction is a practical method to construct reinforced SEI on Si nanoparticles for next-generation high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.
