In this study, nanoporous <i>SiO</i>₂ derived from the shells of industrially cultured diatom microalgae is successfully used as a template for synthesizing <i>SiO_x</i> via the magnesiothermic reduction reaction (MgTR), while the effectiveness of different carbon coating (CC) strategies to produce diatom-<i>SiO_x</i>/C from glucose as carbon precursor is thoroughly analyzed. Notably, the original nanostructure of the diatom-<i>SiO</i>₂ frustule is preserved throughout the synthesis process, and it is demonstrated that increasing the heating ramp during MgTR enhances the Si yield, leading to a significant increase in specific capacity of the anodes from 1064 mAh.g⁻¹ (2 °C/min⁻¹) to 1846 mAh.g⁻¹ (20 °C/min⁻¹). A comparative analysis of three synthesis pathways for producing diatom-<i>SiO_x</i>/C composites: 1) MgTR of diatom-<i>SiO</i>₂ followed by CC, 2) CC of diatom-<i>SiO</i>₂ followed by MgTR, and 3) simultaneous reduction of diatom-<i>SiO</i>₂ and glucose precursor, revealed that pathway (1) is most effective for producing highcapacity diatom-<i>SiO_x</i>/C anodes.

However, the Mg metal anode in ether-based electrolyte systems often suffers from surface passivation, leading to the irreversible plating/stripping behavior of Mg. In this work, for the first time, an effective strategy is proposed to modify the Mg metal anode by in situ alloy formation using a chlorine-free organic metal compound, triphenyl bismuth (TPB). Through electrochemical reduction, an Mg-Bi alloy forms uniformly on the Mg metal anode surface, providing abundant nucleation sites for Mg, allowing for smooth and stable Mg deposition and suppressing the occurrence of short circuits. In a 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME)-based electrolyte system, the addition of TPB significantly improves the electrochemical performance of Mg anode, enabling stable cycling for up to 170 h at a low overpotential. Similarly, in the tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4) electrolyte system, excellent performance is observed, achieving stable cycling of 240 h.

Key parameters for evaluating the above-mentioned structures include their solar reflectance (albedo) and long-wavelength infrared emissivity. Results show the cooling power that can be achieved by an ideal RC material with a solar reflectance of 100% and long-wave infrared emissivity of 100% is 164.8 W·m⁻². In practice, materials exhibiting a cooling power as high as 160.8 W·m⁻² are fabricated. Further analysis shows if 1% of Earth's surface are to be covered with this material the terrestrial RF will decrease by 1.61 W·m⁻² (from 0.6 to −1.01 W·m⁻²). The results demonstrate that RC materials with high solar reflectivity and emissivity offer substantial cooling benefits and can reduce RF when implemented on large scales.
