The titanium oxide/PSi nanocomposite was fablicated by liquid phase deposition (LPD) method with applying anodic potential. Results of SEM-EDX measurement showed that TiO 2 deposited into the fine pore (ca. 7.4 nm) only when oxidized PSi surface was used as F -scavenger or PSi was anodized under the existence of titanium ions. TiO 2 /PSi nanocomposite was fabricated by anodization of PSi in H 2 TiF 6 electrolyte under constant potential. As the amount of Ti maximized at 300 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, deposition process can be controlled by applied potential in this method. The charge/discharge capacities were measured for fabricated TiO 2 /PSi as lithium-ion battery anode. The improvement of the capacity was derived from the increase in PSi wettability by TiO 2 deposition and activation of silicon in fine structure. In addition, TiO 2 /PSi fabricated by anodization kept higher capacity without rapid degradation, because of free from SiO 2 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
