摘要
Despite the high theoretical specific capacity of Si, commercial Li-ion batteries (LIBs) based on Si are still not feasible because of unsatisfactory cycling stability. Herein, amorphous Si (a-Si)-coated nano crystalline Si (nc-Si) formed by versatile radio frequency (RF) sputtering systems is proposed as a promising anode material for LIBs. Compared to uncoated nc-Si (retention of 0.6% and Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 79.7%), the a-Si-coated nc-Si (nc-Si@a-Si) anodes show greatly improved cycling retention (C-50th/C-first) of similar to 50% and a first CE of 86.6%. From the ex situ investigation with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cracked morphology during cycling, the a-Si layer was found to be highly effective at protecting the surface of the nc-Si from the formation of solid-state electrolyte interphases (SEI) and to dissipate the mechanical stress upon de/lithiation due to the high fracture toughness.
