Silicon monoxide (SiO) is one of the most promising anode materials due to its high capacity and improved cycle stability. The lithium silicates (LixSiOy) and lithium oxide (Li2O) formed during the first lithiation can serve as a buffer matrix to restrain the volume change of internal silicon (Si), however, which also lows the initial coulombic efficiency (ICE). High-silicon silicon suboxide (SiOx) seems desirable due to the generation of less but enough LixSiOy/Li2O matrix. However, it is challenging to verify that all Si is protected by the matrix. In this work, SiO0.4 nanowires with Si shielded by SiOx are synthesized using thermal plasma. The interwoven structure composites of carbon-coated SiO0.4 and carbon nanotubes (SiO0.4/CNTs@C) are then synthesized. As an electrode with a high loading of 2.2 mg cm−2, SiO0.4/CNTs@C shows a 12.7 % increase in ICE (81.9 %) and a 34.6 % increase in capacity (1993 mAh/g/4.4 mAh cm−2 at 0.2 A/g for 300 cycles) in comparison to SiO1/CNTs@C. SiO0.4/CNTs@C also shows outstanding high-rate cycle performance (1440 mAh/g at 3.0A/g for 2000 cycles). Significantly, when 5 wt% SiO0.4/CNTs@C is added as an additive to commercial graphite (Gr), the capacity of a standard LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2//Gr 18,650 battery improves by 20.6 %.

射频热等离子体设计合成高硅低氧化硅纳米线用于高性能锂离子电池负极
一氧化硅 (SiO) 是最有前途的负极材料之一,因为它具有高容量和改善的循环稳定性。在第一次锂化过程中形成的硅酸锂(Li x SiO y)和氧化锂(Li 2 O)可以作为缓冲基质来抑制内部硅(Si)的体积变化,但是,这也降低了初始库仑效率(冰)。高硅低氧化硅 (SiO x ) 似乎是理想的,因为生成的 Li x SiO y /Li 2 O 矩阵较少但足够。然而,验证所有 Si 是否都受到矩阵的保护具有挑战性。在这项工作中,SiO 0.4纳米线与 Si 被 SiO x屏蔽使用热等离子体合成。然后合成了碳包覆的SiO 0.4和碳纳米管(SiO 0.4 /CNTs@C)的交织结构复合材料。作为具有 2.2 mg cm -2高负载量的电极,SiO 0.4 /CNTs@C 显示 ICE 增加 12.7% (81.9%) 和容量增加 34.6% (1993 mAh/g/4.4 mAh cm -2在0.2 A/g,300 个循环)与 SiO 1 /CNTs@C 相比。SiO 0.4 /CNTs@C 还表现出出色的高倍率循环性能(1440 mAh/g 在 3.0A/g 下循环 2000 次)。值得注意的是,当将 5 wt% SiO 0.4 /CNTs@C 作为添加剂添加到商业石墨 (Gr) 中时,标准 LiNi 0.8的容量Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 //Gr 18,650 电池提高了 20.6%。
