Silicon oxide (SiOₓ, 0 < x < 2) is considered one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. However, its commercial application is limited by the non-negligible volume change during cycling. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) structure of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) cross-linked with iminodiacetic (c-CMC-IDA₁₅₀) was facilely formed through in situ thermal cross-linking of CMC and iminodiacetic acid (IDA) in the fabrication process of the electrode, which could construct a robust network to restrain the volume change of the SiOₓ anode and maintain the integrity of the electrode. In addition, the 3D cross-linked c-CMC-IDA₁₅₀ provides sufficient contact sites to improve the adhesive strength. Thus, SiOₓ@c-CMC-IDA₁₅₀ shows a prolonged cycle life, achieving a capacity of 1020 mAh g–¹ after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g–¹. With the increase in the current density to 1.0 A g–¹, SiOₓ@c-CMC-IDA₁₅₀ exhibits a reversible capacity of 899 mAh g–¹ after 200 cycles with a capacity retention of 70.2%. This work provides a potential perspective to fabricate high-performance SiOₓ anodes and promote the stability of high-capacity Si-based anodes.
