<p>Silicon-based anode materials are considered as promising alternatives for conventional graphite anodes of lithium-ion batteries due to their eco-friendliness and high specific capacity. But, some drawbacks, such as large volume changes and poor conductivity, limit their wide usage. Hence, their combination with graphene materials such as reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which improves conductivity and provides buffer space for silicon expansion, can enhance the electrochemical performance of these anodes. On the other hand, the toxic inherent of hydrazine hydrate for GO reduction necessitates to presentation of eco-friendly methods for anode preparation. Thus, in this project, a cost-effective and scalable procedure based on thermal annealing was employed to produce Si/rGO composition as a suitable anode material. Notably, the polar inherent of polyacrylonitrile binder can lead to great adhesion of active materials, which causes an exhibited high initial discharge capacity of 1247.32 mAh/g at 0.05&#xa0;C with ~ 99% columbic efficiency. Moreover, this electrode material demonstrated suitable rate performance which resulting ~ 76 mAh/g over 54 cycles with ~ 100% columbic efficiency.</p>
