Summary: In this study, low-cost KxMn[Fe(CN)(6)](y)square(1-y).nH(2)O with diverse H2O content and structure were harvested via controlling the crystallization rate. It was found that weaker Mn-N bond prepared at a faster crystallization rate is more conducive to the fast electrochemical kinetics of the reversible conversion paths, leading to superior Li-storage performances.

Summary: The use of silicon as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries has been widely studied for its high theoretical capacity. However, the expansion of silicon volume during charging and discharging causes structural damage and rapid decay of energy density, limiting its practical application. This review introduces the degradation mechanism of silicon anodes and explores the use of polymer binders to mitigate volume expansion and maintain electrode stability. The progress and research direction in developing new silicon-based anode binders for improved cycling stability are also summarized.
