Mesoporous, 3-D, nanocrystalline Si has been synthesized via the magnesiothermic reduction of SiO particles at a peak temperature of only 500 °C in a scalable flow-through reactor setup. Such 3-D porous Si as an anode material exhibited high, reversible capacities (i.e., >900 mA h g(-1) after 160 charge-discharge cycles at 1000 mA g(-1)).

Preparation of nanocrystalline silicon from SiCl4 at 200 °C in molten salt for high-performance anodes for lithium ion batteries.
TLDR
Crystalline Si nanoparticles are prepared by reduction of SiCl4 with metallic magnesium in the molten salt of AlCl3 at 200 °C in an autoclave and confirm that metallic Mg reduces AlCl 3 to create nascent Al which could immediately reduce SiCl 4 to Si, and the by-product MgCl2 would combine with AlCl2 forming complex of MgAl2Cl8.
