Fabrication and characterization of nano-structures to be used as anodes for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Silicon nanoparticles are used to enhance the anode specific capacity for the lithium-ion cell technology. Due to silicon’s mechanical deficiencies during lithiation and delithiation, one of the many strategies that have been proposed consists of enwrapping the silicon nanoparticles with graphene and create a void area between them so as to accommodate the large volume changes that occur in the silicon nanoparticle. This work aims to investigate the electrochemical performance and the associated kinetics of various nanostructured silicon particles. To this end, we prepared silicon nanoparticles (nps) encapsulated by a graphene veil through a ball milling process. Moreover, we created silicon nps with a hollow outer layer enwrapped with graphene with two different void volumes by using thermally grown silicon dioxide as a sacrificial layer, ball milling to enwrap silicon particles with graphene and hydro fluorine (HF) to etch the sacrificial SiO2 layer. In addition, in order to offer a ...
