This work adopts a multi-step etching-heat treatment strategy to prepare porous silicon microsphere composite with Sb-Sn surface modification and carbon coating (pSi/Sb-Sn@C), using industrial grade SiAl alloy micro-spheres as a precursor. pSi/Sb-Sn@C had a 3D structure with bimetallic (Sb-Sn) modified porous silicon micro-spheres (pSi/Sb-Sn) as the core and carbon coating as the shell. Carbon shells can improve the electronic conductivity and mechanical stability of porous silicon microspheres, which is beneficial for obtaining a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. The 3D porous core promotes the diffusion of lithium ions, increases the intercalation/delithiation active sites, and buffers the volume expansion during the intercalation process. The introduction of active metals (Sb-Sn) can improve the conductivity of the composite and contribute to a certain amount of lithium storage capacity. Due to its unique composition and microstructure, pSi/Sb-Sn@C showed a reversible capacity of 1 247.4 mAh·g^-1 after 300 charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 1.0 A·g^-1, demonstrating excellent rate lithium storage performance and enhanced electrochemical cycling stability.
