7 Figure 15: MMEIM BTA and the AMIM TFSI EMIM TFSI mixture exhibited the best electrochemical performances at a wide range temperature from -40 C up to 30 C. This electrolyte was employed in several commercial cell technologies, such as coin and Swagelok cells, based on SiNWs, SiNTrs and ECP-coated SiNTrs. In all the cases, excellent electrochemical responses were obtained through CV and galvanostatic charge discharge cycles. Figure 16: ECP- coated SiNTrs. Figure 17: ECP-coated DiNWs. 7

Figure 23: Concerning the demonstrator elaboration, coin cell prototype was adapted as one of the best configurations. Thus, round shape substrates (15 mm) based on silicon and stainless steels were employed for the growth of SiNTrs and functionalized SiNWs and SiNTrs, which show the best electrochemical performances. 10
