Carbon coating has been an effective procedure to tackle the severe structural degradation and poor conductivity during cycling of silicon-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the traditional coated carbon usually is tight and thus limit the fast-charging rate and high specific capacity. Herein, through in-situ formation of metal-organic frameworks on the surface, silicon particles were firstly coated by an inside carbon layer. Followed by a solvothermal reaction with the mixture of sucrose and graphene oxide, the second carbon layer outside the silicon particles was deposited, and simultaneously a highly conductive graphene network was formed. After a high temperature pyrolysis process, a graphene matrix supported silicon material with inward multi-channel carbon and outward tight activated carbon was prepared. This unique core/double-layer carbon structure, combined with the highly conductive graphene frameworks, render the material to demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance as anode materials for LIBs in terms of both lithium storage capacity and cycling stability. Thus, the electrode materials deliver a high specific capacity of 1528.1 mA h g(-1) at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 and rate capacity retention of 45.5% at 1 A g-1 to 0.1 A g(-1). Simultaneously, a highly stable reversible capacity of 1182 mAh g(-1) with 89.5% retention over 240 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g(-1) and 484 mAh g(-1) with 76.8% retention after 450 cycles at 1.0 A g(-1) were obtained. This work can offer an alternative approach for high-energy and low-cost silicon-based anodes for LIBs.
