Low-Cost Furnace-Grown Silicon Nanoparticles on Nanographite: A New Pathway to Produce LIB Anodes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Silicon materials are currently being explored for usage in lithium-ion battery anodes due to their high lithium storage capacity. We have developed a novel method, using a simple thermal treatment of low-cost silicon powder and nanographite, resulting in a composite where silicon nanoparticles are grown on the graphene surfaces. Electrodes fabricated from these Si-NG composites delivered a stable capacity of 489 mAh/g during 25 cycles, i.e. higher than conventional graphite anodes (theoretical capacity: 372 mAh/g). The method uses low-cost materials and avoids complex setups, thereby suggesting industrial scalability.
