Abstract
Smart surface coatings have been proven to be an effective strategy to significantly enhance the electronic conductivity and cycling stability of silicon-based anode materials. However, the single/conventional coatings face critical challenges, including low initial Coulomb efficiency (ICE), poor cyclability, and kinetics failure, etc. Hence, we proposed a dual immobilization strategy to synthesize graphene supported anatase TiO2/carbon-coated porous silicon composite (denoted as PSi@TiO2@C/Graphene) using industrial-grade ferrosilicon as lithium storage raw materials through the simple etching, combined with sol-gel and hydrothermal coating processes. In this work, the dual immobilization from the "confinement effect" of the inner TiO2 shell and the "synergistic effect" of the outer carbon shell, improves the kinetics of the electrochemical reaction and ensures the integrity of the electrode material structure during lithiation. Furthermore, the introduction of the graphene substrate offers ample space for dispersing and anchoring the Si-based granules, which in turn provides a stable 3D conductive network between the particles. As a result, the PSi@TiO2@C/Graphene electrode delivers high reversible capacity of 1605.4 mAh g-1 with 93.65% retention at 0.5 A g-1 after 100 cycles (vs. 4th discharge), high initial Coulomb efficiency (82.30%), and superior cyclability of 1159.9 mAh g-1 after 250 cycles. The above results suggest that the particle structure has great potential for applications in Si-based anode and may provide some inspiration for the design of other energy storage materials.

Abstract
Due to ultra-high theoretical capacity (4200 mAh g-1), silicon (Si) is an excellent candidate for the anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the application of Si is severely limited by its volume expansion of approximately 300% during the charge/discharge process. Herein, nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NC) capped nano-Si particles (Si@NC) composites with a core-shell structure were obtained by calcination of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) encapsulated nano-Si. COFs is a crystalline material with well-ordered structures, adjustable and ordered pores and abundant N atoms. After carbonization, the well-ordered pores and frameworks were kept well. Compared with other Si@NC composites, the well-ordered NC framework shell derived from COFs possesses high elasticity and well-ordered pores, which provides space for the volume expansion of nano-Si, and a channel to transfer Li+. The core-shell Si@NC composite exhibited good performances when applied as the anode of LIBs. At a current density of 100 mA g-1, it exhibited a discharge-specific capacity of 1534.8 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles with a first-coulomb efficiency of 69.7%. The combination of COFs with nano-Si is a better strategy for the preparation of anode materials of LIBs.

Constructing three-dimensional N-doped carbon coating silicon/iron silicide nanoparticles cross-linked by carbon nanotubes as advanced anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 629:908-916. [PMID: 36208603 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.09.143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 10/06/2022]
Abstract
Silicon (Si), have been considered as promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to its high theoretical specific capacity of 4200 mAh g-1. However, the poor electrical conductivity and large volume change during lithiation/delithiation process, resulting in poor cycling stability, and seriously hindered the practical application in LIBs. Herein, a multiple Si/FexSiy@NC/CNTs composite is synthesized and investigated as advanced anode materials for LIBs via a simple one-step method. Such multiple Si/FexSiy@NC/CNTs composite has several merits including the FexSiy can not only accommodate the huge volume change of Si nanoparticles, but also enhance the conductivity upon discharge/charge process. Furthermore, the in-situ growth CNTs may help establish a long-range conductivity, and the Nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) layer can further improve the conductivity of Si, as well as inhibit the direct contract between electrolyte and Si during cycling process. Accordingly, the Si/FexSiy@NC/CNTs-1 exhibits excellent cycling stability (a high capacity of 994.4 mAh g-1 is maintained at 1.0 A g-1 after 600cycles) and outstanding rate capability (a suitable capacity of 441.7 mAh g-1 was obtained even at 5.0 A g-1). Moreover, the assembled full cell can achieve a capacity of 141.4 mAh g-1 after 65 cycles at 1.0C, exhibiting outstanding cycling stability. This work provides a prospective way for the commercial production of high-performance Si-based anode materials for LIBs.
