Failure mechanisms of nano-silicon anodes upon cycling: an electrode porosity evolution model

TL;DR: For the first time, a real dynamic of the pore size distribution is shown: the first cycles lead to the formation of a micrometric porosity which is not present initially, and from the 50th cycle, Li(+) ion diffusion is dramatically hindered leading to a strongly heterogeneous lithiation of the electrode and a rapid capacity fading.
Journal ArticleDOI

An XPS/AES comparative study of the surface behaviour of nano-silicon anodes for Li-ion batteries

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface of composite electrodes made of nano-silicon is studied by using two surface characterization techniques: X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger Electron Spectrograph (AES).
Journal ArticleDOI

One-step synthesis of Si@C nanoparticles by laser pyrolysis: high-capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

TL;DR: Carbon-covered silicon nanoparticles (Si@C) were synthesized for the first time by a one-step continuous process in a novel two stages laser pyrolysis reactor, allowing the use of such material as promising anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIB).
