“…[39] This phenomenon is more visible when voltage is lower than 0.3 V, especially for this material. Moreover, major lithiation peaks at 1.1, 0.53, 0.25, 0.13, and near 0.01 V corresponds to the mixture phase transition of SnO y and SiO x , [40,41] formation of Li x Sn through the Sn with Li + and insertion of Li + into C layer, [42,43] the alloying process of Li-Si, [44,45] mixture alloying reactive of Li-Sn and Li-Si, [46][47][48] the mixture of Si-Li alloys and Lithium-insert C layer, [49,50] respectively. Noteworthy, the lithiation peak at 0.25 V, which appears in the second cathodic scan and presents in all subsequent cycles, can give evidence that Si exists in SnO y @C/ SiO x -50 and is activated by impregnation of electrolyte with the battery cycling gradually.…”
