Title: Facile electrostatic self-assembly of silicon/reduced graphene oxide porous composite by silica assist as high performance anode for Li-ion battery

Abstract

Silicon(Si)/graphene composite has been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for next generation anode materials with high power and energy density in lithium ion batteries. Introduction of graphene in Si anodes could improve the electronic conductivity, suppress the severe volume expansion of Si, and facilitate the formation of stable solid electrolyte interphase, etc. However, traditionally mechanical mixing of Si and graphene cannot realize uniform distribution of Si particles on the graphene sheets, which would largely weaken the effectiveness of the graphene in the composite. In this study, nano-Si/reduced graphene oxide porous composite (p Si/rGO) has been fabricated by a facile electrostatic self-assembly approach via using SiO2 as the sacrificial template. Compared with the simply mechanically mixed nano-Si and rGO (Si/rGO), the nano-Si particles could be more uniformly dispersed among the rGO sheets in the p Si/rGO, which significantly increases its electronic conductivity. Moreover, the drastic volume expansion of nano-Si during repeated lithiation/delithiation cycles also has been effectively accommodated by the large number of pores left after removing the SiO2 template in the composite. Thus, the p Si/rGO presented largely enhanced electrochemical performances, showing a high reversible capacity up to 1849 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 withmore » good capacity retention, and high rate capability (535 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1).« less

Figure 1 Figure 1: Four hypotheses for how climate may impact density dependent mountain pine beetle reproduction as represented by the generalized Ricker model: (a) Hypothesis 1 (H1) represents a multiplicative effect in which climatic variation raises or lowers the natural logarithm of per capita productivity. (b) Hypothesis 2 (H2) represents amore » compensatory dynamic in which climatic variation leads to a teeter-totter effect. (c) In hypothesis 3 (H3) climatic variability impacts the carrying capacity, which results in a change in the slope of the line.
