Advances of Synthesis Methods for Porous Silicon-Based Anode Materials.

ABSTRACT: Silicon (Si)-based anode materials have been the promising candidates to replace commercial graphite, however, there are challenges in the practical applications of Si-based anode materials, including large volume expansion during Li⁺ insertion/deinsertion and low intrinsic conductivity. To address these problems existed for applications, nanostructured silicon materials, especially Si-based materials with three-dimensional (3D) porous structures have received extensive attention due to their unique advantages in accommodating volume expansion, transportation of lithium-ions, and convenient processing. In this review, we mainly summarize different synthesis methods of porous Si-based materials, including template-etching methods and self-assembly methods. Analysis of the strengths and shortages of the different methods is also provided. The morphology evolution and electrochemical effects of the porous structures on Si-based anodes of different methods are highlighted.

Monodisperse porous silicon spheres as anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Highly monodisperse porous silicon nanospheres (MPSSs) are synthesized via a simple and scalable hydrolysis process with subsequent surface-protected magnesiothermic reduction. The spherical nature of the MPSSs allows for a homogenous stress-strain distribution within the structure during lithiation and delithiation, which dramatically improves the electrochemical stability. To fully extract the real performance of the MPSSs, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added to enhance the electronic conductivity within the composite electrode structure, which has been verified to be an effective way to improve the rate and cycling performance of anodes based on nano-Si. The Li-ion battery (LIB) anodes based on MPSSs demonstrate a high reversible capacity of 3105 mAh g(-1). In particular, reversible Li storage capacities above 1500 mAh g(-1) were maintained after 500 cycles at a high rate of C/2. We believe this innovative approach for synthesizing porous Si-based LIB anode materials by using surface-protected magnesiothermic reduction can be readily applied to other types of SiOx nano/microstructures.

Synthesis of Silicon Oxycarbide Beads from Alkoxysilane as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon is an important anode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its high theoretical capacity. However, the large volume expansion of silicon anodes hinders its commercial utilization. As an alternative, silicon oxycarbides (SiOCs) mitigate the expansion of anodes during lithiation, and the synthesis of SiOC beads from silanes is rather simple and at a low cost. In this study, we compared three different reactor setups for making the SiOC beads from methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and found that the control of residence time was crucial. Thereby, the batch reactor turned out to be the easiest one for making monodispersed beads. We also reduced the O/Si ratio of the SiOC beads by adding dimethyldimethoxysilane (DMDMS) for better battery performance. The first-cycle delithiation capacity of the most stable material was over 1796 mA h/g, with an initial Coulombic efficiency of 82%, while the capacity retention after 170 cycles was 67% (992 mA h/g) at a charging rate of 2 A/g in the potential range of 0.01-3 V. This was among the best of the reported data so far for the SiOC beads from MTMS.

Ionothermal Synthesis of Crystalline Nanoporous Silicon and Its Use as Anode Materials in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon has great potential as an anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This work reports a facile, high-yield, and scalable approach to prepare nanoporous silicon, in which commercial magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) reacted with the acidic ionic liquid at 100 °C and ambient pressure. The obtained silicon consists of a crystalline, porous structure with a BET surface area of 450 m2/g and pore size of 1.27 nm. When coated with the nitrogen-doped carbon layer and applied as LIB anode, the obtained nanoporous silicon-carbon composites exhibit a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 72.9% and possess a specific capacity of 1000 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 100 cycles. This preparation method does not involve high temperature and pressure vessels and can be easily applied for mass production of nanoporous silicon materials for lithium-ion battery or for other applications.

Silicon/Graphite/Amorphous Carbon as Anode Materials for Lithium Secondary Batteries.

Project description:Although silicon is being researched as one of the most promising anode materials for future generation lithium-ion batteries owing to its greater theoretical capacity (3579 mAh g-1), its practical applicability is hampered by its worse rate properties and poor cycle performance. Herein, a silicon/graphite/amorphous carbon (Si/G/C) anode composite material has been successfully prepared by a facile spray-drying method followed by heating treatment, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance compared with silicon/amorphous carbon (Si/C) in lithium-ion batteries. At 0.1 A g-1, the Si/G/C sample exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 1886 mAh g-1, with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 90.18%, the composite can still deliver a high initial charge capacity of 800 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1, and shows a superior cyclic and rate performance compared to the Si/C anode sample. This work provides a facile approach to synthesize Si/G/C composite for lithium-ion batteries and has proven that graphite replacing amorphous carbon can effectively improve the electrochemical performance, even using low-performance micrometer silicon and large size flake graphite.

Flexible Porous Silicon/Carbon Fiber Anode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:We demonstrate a cross-linked, 3D conductive network structure, porous silicon@carbon nanofiber (P-Si@CNF) anode by magnesium thermal reduction (MR) and the electrospinning methods. The P-Si thermally reduced from silica (SiO2) preserved the monodisperse spheric morphology which can effectively achieve good dispersion in the carbon matrix. The mesoporous structure of P-Si and internal nanopores can effectively relieve the volume expansion to ensure the structure integrity, and its high specific surface area enhances the multi-position electrical contact with the carbon material to improve the conductivity. Additionally, the electrospun CNFs exhibited 3D conductive frameworks that provide pathways for rapid electron/ion diffusion. Through the structural design, key basic scientific problems such as electron/ion transport and the process of lithiation/delithiation can be solved to enhance the cyclic stability. As expected, the P-Si@CNFs showed a high capacity of 907.3 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and excellent cycling performance, with 625.6 mAh g-1 maintained even after 300 cycles. This work develops an alternative approach to solve the key problem of Si nanoparticles' uneven dispersion in a carbon matrix.

High-Temperature Magnesiothermic Reduction Enables HF-Free Synthesis of Porous Silicon with Enhanced Performance as Lithium-Ion Battery Anode.

Project description:Porous silicon-based anode materials have gained much interest because the porous structure can effectively accommodate volume changes and release mechanical stress, leading to improved cycling performance. Magnesiothermic reduction has emerged as an effective way to convert silica into porous silicon with a good electrochemical performance. However, corrosive HF etching is normally a mandatory step to improve the electrochemical performance of the as-synthesized silicon, which significantly increases the safety risk. This has become one of the major issues that impedes practical application of the magnesiothermic reduction synthesis of the porous silicon anode. Here, a facile HF-free method is reported to synthesize macro-/mesoporous silicon with good cyclic and rate performance by simply increasing the reduction temperature from 700 °C to 800 °C and 900 °C. The mechanism for the structure change resulting from the increased temperature is elaborated. A finite element simulation indicated that the 3D continuous structure formed by the magnesiothermic reduction at 800 °C and 900 °C could undertake the mechanical stress effectively and was responsible for an improved cyclic stability compared to the silicon synthesized at 700 °C.

Facile Synthesis of Sponge-Like Porous Nano Carbon-Coated Silicon Anode with Tunable Pore Structure for High-Stability Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:To address the challenge of the huge volume expansion of silicon anode, carbon-coated silicon has been developed as an effective design strategy due to the improved conductivity and stable electrochemical interface. However, although carbon-coated silicon anodes exhibit improved cycling stability, the complex synthesis methods and uncontrollable structure adjustment still make the carbon-coated silicon anodes hard to popularize in practical application. Herein, we propose a facile method to fabricate sponge-like porous nano carbon-coated silicon (sCCSi) with a tunable pore structure. Through the strategy of adding water into precursor solution combined with a slow heating rate of pre-oxidation, a sponge-like porous structure can be formed. Furthermore, the porous structure can be controlled through stirring temperature and oscillation methods. Owing to the inherent material properties and the sponge-like porous structure, sCCSi shows high conductivity, high specific surface area, and stable chemical bonding. As a result, the sCCSi with normal and excessive silicon-to-carbon ratios all exhibit excellent cycling stability, with 70.6% and 70.2% capacity retentions after 300 cycles at 500 mA g-1, respectively. Furthermore, the enhanced buffering effect on pressure between silicon nanoparticles and carbon material due to the sponge-like porous structure in sCCSi is further revealed through mechanical simulation. Considering the facile synthesis method, flexible regulation of porous structure, and high cycling stability, the design of the sCCSi paves a way for the synthesis of high-stability carbon-coated silicon anodes.
