Silicon core/shell nanomaterials for high performance anode of lithium ion batteries

摘要

The present invention is to tackle the volume expansion problem of the Si anode materials in the application of lithium ion batteries. In the present invention, a simple and green hydrothermal method is use to form loosely packed Si@C core/shell structure. A carbon coating layer is formed on controllably aggregated silicon nanoparticles in a one-step procedure by the hydrothermal carbonization of a carbon-rich precursor.
