Abstract
To realize a more holistic approach to electrification in society, not only is it mandatory that we disengage from non-renewable fuels while adopting new approaches to energy storage, but we must realize actual environmental benefits from this transition. Given that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions in battery value chains originate from material mining and production, there is exceptional incentive to find alternate routes to superior lithium ion battery (LIB) components.

Combustion of rice husks generates 100s of gigawatts of green electricity annually in the U.S. alone, and coincidentally, ≈150k tons of RHA (90 wt % silica ≈ 10 wt % carbon). We have learned to use RHA to make a number of LIB components including Li+ conducting electrolytes, silicon, silicon carbide, and silicon oxynitride anode materials that offer capacities >950 mAh g-1 competitive with porous Si metal.
