Morphology, composition and electrochemistry of a nano-porous silicon versus bulk silicon anode for lithium-ion batteries
Source abstract
Abstract
The volumetric energy density of today’s lithium-ion batteries is limited mostly by the graphitic carbon anode. Silicon is a promising replacement but its excessive volume expansion on lithiation limits its long-term cyclability performance. A nano-sized aluminium containing silicon, leached in acid, with a porous structure is shown to maintain its capacity higher than pure bulk silicon or nano-sized silicon by over 700 mAh/g. The capacity of leached silicon is maintained at 1400 mAh/g for more than 60 cycles. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy have been used to correlate the electrochemical performance with the materials' morphology and composition.
