Three‐dimensional macroporous silicon (see image) was synthesized by a magnesiothermic reduction method as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. An improved lithium storage performance was obtained after coating silver nanoparticles on the surface of the silicon. The silver‐coated 3D macroporous silicon shows promise as an anode material in lithium ion batteries.
