In an aspect, a lithium-ion battery anode composition comprises a porous composite particle comprising carbon (C) and an active material comprising silicon (Si), wherein the carbon is characterized by a domain size (r), as estimated from an atomic pair distribution function G(r) obtained from a synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurement of the porous composite particle, ranging from around 10 &#x212b; (1 nm) to around 60 &#x212b; (6 nm). In a further aspect, a carbon material for use in making an anode composition for use in a Li-ion battery is characterized by a domain size (r), as estimated from an atomic pair distribution function G(r) obtained from a synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurement of the carbon material, ranging from around 10 &#x212b; (1 nm) to around 60 &#x212b; (6 nm).
