摘要
Silicon(Si)particles were functionalized using carbon dots(CDs)to enhance the interaction between the Si particles and the binders.First,CDs rich in polar groups were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method.Then,CDs were loaded on the Si surface by impregnation to obtain the functionalized Si particles(Si/CDs).The phases and microstructures of the Si/CDs were observed using Fourier-transform infrared reflection,X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.Si/CDs were used as the active material of the anode for electrochemical performance experiments.The electrochemical performance of the Si/CD electrode was assessed using cyclic voltammetry,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and constant current charge and discharge experiment.The electrodes prepared with Si/CDs showed good mechanical structure stability and electrochemical performance.After 150 cycles at 0.2 C,the capacity retention rate of the Si/CD electrode was 64.0%,which is twice as much as that of pure Si electrode under the same test conditions.
