Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.Surface‐functionalized SiNPs are synthesized by a simple and scalable hydrosilylation method using 4‐vinylpyridine (4VP), 1‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone (1V2P), and acrylic acid (AA). The Si‐4VP‐based Li‐ion cells achieved a promising long life of 300 cycles, retaining 60% of the initial capacity (2375 mAh g−1).
