Synthesis and performance of nanostructured silicon/graphite composites with a thin carbon shell and engineered voids

Journal Article Ashuri, Maziar ; He, Qianran ; Liu, Yuzi ; ... - Electrochimica Acta

Utilizing silicon as an anode material for Li-ion batteries has been the subject of many studies. However, due to the huge volume change of silicon during lithiation, the electrochemical performance of silicon is poor. Here, we have investigated a novel yet simple approach to synthesize nanostructured silicon/graphite composites with a carbon coating and engineered voids. High-energy ball mill is employed to convert micrometer-sized silicon and graphite to nanostructured silicon/graphite composite building blocks, while a thin carbon coating is applied to encapsulate these composite agglomerates, followed by partial etching of silicon to create engineered voids inside the composite agglomerates.

Poly(4-vinylbenzoic acid): A Re-Engineered Binder for Improved Performance from Water-Free Slurry Processing for Silicon Graphite Composite Electrodes

Journal Article Hu, Bin ; Jiang, Sisi ; Shkrob, Ilya A. ; ... - ACS Applied Energy Materials

In silicon-based lithium-ion batteries, polymeric binders play the crucial role of “gluing” the electrode matrix together, providing strong adhesion between the active silicon (Si) and conductive carbon particles and keeping them in electrical contact, despite considerable volumetric changes during cycling. While remarkable progress has been seen in the development of binders, improved cycling performance is still needed to fully enable Si anodes. Achieving that end requires in turn a better understanding of the relationship between binder properties and cell cycling performance. Here, we describe a novel polymer binder, poly(4-vinylbenzoic acid) (P4VBA), developed by re-engineering the widely used poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)more »« less

Microstructural evolution of a silicon carbide-carbon coated nanostructured ferritic alloy composite during in-situ Kr ion irradiation at 300°C 450°C

Journal Article Bawane, Kaustubh ; Lu, Kathy ; Bai, Xian-Ming ; ... - Journal of Materials Science and Technology

This work focuses on irradiation behaviors of a novel silicon carbide and carbon coated nanostructured ferritic alloy (SiC-C@NFA) composite for potential applications as a cladding and structural material for next generation nuclear reactors. The SiC-C@NFA samples were irradiated with 1 MeV Kr ions up to 10 dpa at 300 and 450 °C. Microstructures and defect evolution were studied in-situ at the IVEM-Tandem facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The effects of ion irradiation on various phases such as α-ferrite matrix, (Fe,Cr)₇C₃, and (Ti,W)C precipitates were evaluated. The α-ferrite matrix showed a continuous increase in dislocation density along with spatial ordering ofmore »« less

Understanding of pre-lithiation of poly(acrylic acid) binder: Striking the balances between the cycling performance and slurry stability for silicon-graphite composite electrodes in Li-ion batteries

Journal Article Hu, Bin ; Jiang, Sisi ; Shkrob, Ilya A. ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) is widely used as a polymer binder for high capacity silicon (Si) anodes in Li-ion batteries. When used, the carboxyl (-CO2H) groups of PAA can be partially lithiated (known as pre-lithiation treatment), which is believed to facilitates lamination process, especially for production on a large scale. However, such treatment impacts numerous physico-chemical properties of the PAA binder that affect the cycling performance of the electrode. Here we seek to quantify the pre-lithiation treatment effect on Li-ion cells containing Si-graphite composite electrodes. The electrochemical cycling results indicated that such pre-lithiation treatment of PAA can undermine the cycling performance,more »« less

Hollow Silicon Nanospheres Encapsulated with a Thin Carbon Shell: An Electrochemical Study

Journal Article Ashuri, Maziar ; He, Qianran ; Liu, Yuzi ; ... - Electrochimica Acta

In this study we have investigated the electrochemical properties of hollow silicon nanospheres encapsulated with a thin carbon shell, HSi@C, as a potential candidate for lithium-ion battery anodes. Hollow Si nanospheres are formed using a templating method which is followed by carbon coating via carbonization of a pyrrole precursor to form HSi@C. The synthesis conditions and the resulting structure of HSi@C have been studied in detail to obtain the target design of hollow Si nanospheres encapsulated with a carbon shell. The HSi@C obtained exhibits much better electrochemical cycle stability than both micro-and nano-size silicon anodes and deliver a stable specificmore »« less
