摘要
Silicon materials have attracted wide attention as negative materials due to exceptional gravimetric capacity and abundance. The strategy of using nano-silicon materials as structural units to construct nano/micro-structured silicon-based negative materials for lithium-ion batteries has come into sight in recent years. In order to provide guidance for the material structure design of micro-sized silicon-based negative materials in practical application, in this work, two commercialized nano/micro-structured silicon-based negative materials with a specific capacity of about 650 mAh·g^(-1) were investigated and compared in the aspects of material microstructure, electrochemical performance of half cells, and electrode morphological evolution during cycling. The cycling performance(with capacity retention ratio of about 17% higher after 100 cycles) and electrode structure maintenance of the embedded structure Si/C material are superior to those of core–shell Si/C material. This research can provide guidance on design and application of nano/micro-structured silicon-based negative materials.
