Multi-scale design of silicon/carbon composite anode materials for lithium-ion batteries is summarized on the basis of interface modification, structure construction, and particles size control, aiming at encouraging effective strategies to fabricate well-performing silicon/carbon composite anodes. 1. Introduction
Graphite currently serves as the main material for the negative electrode of lithium batteries. Due to technological advancements, there is an urgent need to develop anode materials with high energy density and excellent cycling properties.
1. Introduction The current state-of-the-art negative electrode technology of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is carbon-based (i.e., synthetic graphite and natural graphite) and represents >95% of the negative electrode market .
Carbon materials can effectively enhance the electrochemical performance of silicon electrodes and mitigate the volume changes of silicon anodes during charging and discharging. In this work, we prepared silicon-carbon composites using phenolic resin as the precursor for carbon.
However, when silicon is used as a negative electrode material, silicon particles undergo significant volume expansion and contraction (approximately 300%) in the processes of lithiation and delithiation, respectively.
