Electrochemical properties of Si-metal film as an material for lithium ion secondary batteries

초록/요약

Silicon is recognized as one of the most promising candidate for the anode materials for lithium ion secondary batteries due to its theoretical capacity of 4200mAh/g, which is far greater value than that of carbon (LiC6, 372mAh/g). However one of the major problems of this material is the large volume change occurring during Li insertion/extraction, which result in mechanical cracking and poor cycling stability of the electrodes. It has been previously reported that alloying the Si with electrochemically inactive elements may enhance the electrochemical performance. In this study, the electrochemical properties of amorphous Si thin film electrodes their derivatives have been investigated. The samples had two different geometries. The Si thin film sputtered directly on the copper foil substrate, Si and Ti co-sputtered on the copper foil substrate. The effects of the annealing process had also been evaluated. The electrochemical performance of as-deposited and annealed samples for both geometries were studied by galvanostatic charge/discharge. The structures, the composition and the morphologies at the samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively.
