The formation of amorphous silicon for use in, for example, lithium-ion batteries is disclosed. The process can include milling a plurality of silicon nanocrystals having an average particle diameter and a percent crystallinity greater than about 60%, in a unit designed to reduce the average particle diameter to the same or a larger size, thereby forming a plurality of amorphous silicon nanoparticles having about the same average particle diameter as the silicon nanocrystals and a percent crystallinity of less than about 50%.

Amorphization of silicon

Solid state compositions for use in an anode of a secondary battery, anodes, and lithium ion batteries are provided which include silicon carbide nanofibers, preferably carried in and reinforcing both an anode active material and a solid electrolyte. Methods of production and use are further described.

Method of making silicon-carbide reinforced solid electrolyte battery materials

Secondary batteries which include embedded silicon carbide nanofibers are described and provided. Methods of production of the materials for use in the secondary batteries are further described.
