In Situ Synthesis of Graphene-Coated Silicon Monoxide Anodes from Coa-Derived Humic Acid for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries
Abstract
Abstract Silicon monoxide (SiO) is attaining extensive interest amongst silicon‐based materials due to its high capacity and long cycle life; however, its low intrinsic electrical conductivity and poor coulombic efficiency strictly limit its commercial applications. Here low‐cost coal‐derived humic acid is used as a feedstock to synthesize in situ graphene‐coated disproportionated SiO (D‐SiO@G) anode with a facile method. HR‐TEM and XRD confirm the well‐coated graphene layers on a SiO surface. Scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy and X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure spectra analysis indicate that the graphene coating effectively hinders the side‐reactions between the electrolyte and SiO particles. As a result, the D‐SiO@G anode presents an initial discharge capacity of 1937.6 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and an initial coulombic efficiency of 78.2%. High reversible capacity (1023 mAh g −1 at 2.0 A g −1 ), excellent cycling performance (72.4% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 2.0 A g −1 ), and rate capability (774 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1 ) results are substantial. Full coin cells assembled with LiFePO 4 electrodes and D‐SiO@G electrodes display impressive rate performance. These results indicate promising potential for practical use in high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries.
