Abstract
Nano-sized SiOx/C composite with core-shell structure is prepared by a modified Stöber method. After heat-treatment, the O/Si ratio in SiOx/C composite is near 1 and the core of SiOx presents a structure composing of amorphous Si clusters and ordered SiO 2 domains. SiOx/C composite anode shows high specific capacity (ca. 800 mAh g-1), excellent cycling stability, good rate-capability but low initial coulombic efficiency. Li2O and Li4SiO4 may generate in the initial lithiation process, which, combining with the carbon shell, can buffer the volume change caused by the alloying of Si with Li, and thereby improving the cycling stability of electrode. The nano feature of SiOx/C particle and the electronic conductive nature of carbon coating layer ensure the good rate-capability of SiOx/C electrode.
