Abstract
Silicon has been the most ideal candidate anode material for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries owing to its higher theoretical capacity, relatively low potential, and rich resources. Unfortunately, the significant volume expansion (300%) and low intrinsic conductivity result in poor electrochemical performance during the charging-discharging process. Herein, one-dimensional linear polypyrrole-coated silicon nanoparticle (Si@PPy) composites are synthesized to elevate the lithium storage performance of silicon-based materials. The Si nanoparticles are coated by polypyrrole to form a one-dimensional linear structure, which not only enhances the electron/ion transfer rate, but also relieves the volume changes of Si. Simultaneously, the constructed interwoven network would be beneficial for the electrolyte immersion and provide more space for the expansion of the entire electrode. So the Si@PPy-2 composites demonstrated superior electrochemical performance with a discharge capacity of 1660.2 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g−1 and the reversible specific capacity of 1047.0 mAh g−1 at a high current density of 1000 mA g−1 for 500 cycles. This simple in situ polymerization method to prepare high-performance Si anodes would be beneficial for the commercialization of silicon-based electrodes in LIBs.
硅具有理论容量高、电势相对低、资源丰富等优点,是高容量锂离子电池最理想的负极材料。不幸的是,在充放电过程中,显著的体积膨胀(300%)和低的固有电导率导致了电化学性能不佳。为了提高硅基材料的锂存储性能,本文合成了一维线性聚吡咯包覆硅纳米颗粒(Si@PPy)复合材料。用聚吡咯包覆Si纳米粒子形成一维线性结构,不仅提高了电子/离子的传递速率,而且减轻了Si的体积变化。同时,网状结构有利于电解液的浸泡,为整个电极的膨胀提供了更大的空间。结果表明,Si@PPy-2复合材料在100 mA g - 1下循环100次后的放电容量为1660.2 mAh g - 1,在1000 mA g - 1高电流密度下循环500次的可逆比容量为1047.0 mAh g - 1。这种简单的原位聚合法制备高性能硅阳极的方法将有利于锂离子电池中硅基电极的商业化。
