In this study, we present robust composite particles containing Fe3O4 cores and porous conductive carbon–silicate layers synthesized through the aerosol-assisted process followed by vapor coating using organosilanol as the precursor to be employed as a lithium storage material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Such composite particles exhibit high capacity and good cycle performance, which can be attributed to their unique porous core–shell structure. The formation of such carbon–silicate composites through this CVD-like coating approach can be readily extended to other stable oxide electrodes, enabling the synthesis of a large variety of oxide composites for energy storage and other applications. |
