Abstract

Hybrid anode materials consisting of micro-sized silicon (Si) particles interconnected with few-layer graphene (FLG) nanoplatelets and sodium-neutralized poly(acrylic acid) as a binder were evaluated for Li-ion batteries. The hybrid film has demonstrated a reversible discharge capacity of ∼1800 mA h g−1 with a capacity retention of 97% after 200 cycles. The superior electrochemical properties of the hybrid anodes are attributed to a durable, hierarchical conductive network formed between Si particles and the multi-scale carbon additives, with enhanced cohesion by the functional polymer binder. Furthermore, improved solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) stability is achieved from the electrolyte additives, due to the formation of a kinetically stable film on the surface of the Si.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
