摘要:
A silicon graphene-incorporated rechargeable Li-ion battery with enhanced energy delivery and cycling life comprising a high-performance Si/graphene composite anode, a cathode film and electrolyte is disclosed. The anode and cathode are immersed in or partially immersed in the electrolyte; wherein the anode is formed of a mixture of carbon coated Si and graphene composite with a polymer binder and a conductive additive. A method for fabricating such Si and graphene-based anode comprises the steps synthesis of carbon coated Si particles by polymer encapsulation and carbonization; enveloping the coated Si particles in graphene by mechanical agitation; formulating the carbon coated Si and graphene with a polymer binder and conductive additive; depositing the mixture onto current collectors. The anode structure affords a combination of superior rate capability, cycling life and improved volumetric capacity.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a graphene-incorporated rechargeable Li-ion battery discloses a graphene-incorporated rechargeable Li-ion battery with enhanced energy and power delivery abilities. The method comprises the steps (a) fabricating a high-performance anode film based on graphene or graphene hybrid; (b) introducing a desired amount of lithium into the anode material to produce a prelithiated graphene-based anode; (c) constructing a full cell utilizing a cathode film and the prelithiated anode film. The graphene-based anodes incorporating exfoliated graphene layers overcome the large irreversible capacity and initial lithium ion consumption upon pre-lithiation, and demonstrate remarkably enhanced specific capacity and rate capability over conventional anodes.
