Synthesis of Antimony-Embedded Silicon Oxycarbide Composite Materials from DVB-modified Silicone oil for High-performance Sodium-ion batteries

초록/요약

Sodium ion batteries are not only cheaper to produce than lithium ion batteries, but also the uniform and rich reserves of sodium in the world, efforts are being made to utilize sodium ion batteries as next-generation large-capacity energy storage devices. Sb-based anode materials have emerged as one of the popular alloying materials for SIB due to their high theoretical capacity. However, Sb has the problem of capacity fading due to excessive volume expansion (about 390%). Among the buffer materials to overcome this disadvantages, SiOC has been studied but SiOC has a disadvantage of having a fixed and limited free-carbon domain. Here, Sb/SiOC-DVB composite was easily synthesized by heat treatment of DVB, a liquid carbon source, with silicone oil and Sb acetate. Sb nanoparticles were uniformly embedded in DVB-modified SiOC with increased free-carbon domains. This composite material showed stable cycling performance (344.5 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.2 C) and improved rate capability (197.5 mAh g-1 at 5 C) as the SIB anode. The improved electrochemical performance is due to the increased free-carbon domain in the SiOC matrix due to the addition of DVB, which makes the characteristics of the SiOC material more soft and elastic, suppressing the volume expansion, and increasing the electrical conductivity.
