A Simple Method of Synthesis of Graphene Oxide-Silicon Nanoparticle Composite as Potential Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

Herein, we report a simple method towards achieving graphene oxide-silicon nanoparticle (GO-Si NP) composite in aqueous solution. The preparation method is environmental friendly and the product formed was characterized using various techniques such as SEM, EDAX, XRD etc. The results confirm the formation of the nanocomposite and the composites with various percentage of Si NP was prepared and is expected to improve the cycling stability of Si NP as an anode material in lithium battery.
