Abstract

Carbon layers with different thicknesses were introduced into the surfaces of silicon (Si) nanoparticles by sol-gel method using poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4'-sulfonyldiphenol) as the carbon source. Technologies of X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and transmission electron microscopy were employed to analyze the structures and components of the as-prepared Si@CPZS composites. Electrochemical performance of Si@CPZS with different carbon thicknesses was studied. The results showed that Si@CPZS with carbon thickness of 10 nm possessed the best performance. Its capacity remained 940 mAh·g-1 after 290 cycles under 500 mA·g-1. As the addictive, the graphite-based anode contained 30% of Si@CPZS composite could achieve the specific capacity higher than 700 mAh·g-1.
