Abstract:
The Si-block copolymer core-shell nanoparticles include: a Si core; and a block copolymer shell including a block having relatively relatively high affinity for Si and a block having relatively low affinity for Si and forming a spherical micelle structure around the Si core. Since the Si-block copolymer core-shell nanoparticles exhibit excellent dispersibility and stability in a mixed solution including the same, the Si-block copolymer core-shell nanoparticles are easily applied to an anode active material for lithium secondary battery by carbonization thereof. In addition, since the anode active material for lithium secondary battery using the Si-block copolymer core-shell nanoparticles includes carbonized Si-block copolymer core-shell nanoparticles and pores, the anode active material has long lifespan, high capacity and high energy density, and the block copolymer shell of the carbonized Si-block copolymer core-shell nanoparticles can improve lifespan of lithium secondary battery by buffering volumetric change thereof during charge and discharge.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an electrode for electrolytic plating and an electrolytic plating apparatus including the same. A contact area between a surface of an object to be plated and an electrode can be minimized using an electrode for electrolytic plating having a non-conductive pattern partially formed thereon. Generation of a metal composite having multiple cores due to simultaneous contact between plural objects to be plated and the conductive region being not covered with non-conductive pattern can be prevented. Since the surface of the object to be plated can be coated with different kinds of metals before galvanic corrosion occurs, a metal composite having a core-shell structure can have improved reliability, quality and stability. Various different kinds of metals can be coated onto the surface of the object to be plated without limitation as the object to be plated.
