Abstract:Silicon (Si) anodes offer significant potential due to their high capacity. However, their drastic volume change limits their utility, resulting in a shorter cycling life. In this paper, microsilicon particles and 6H-SiC particles were ball-milled and subsequently coated a layer of amorphous carbon, yielding Si/SiC@C composites. Computational and experimental results reveal that this heterostructure formed between Si and 6H-SiC enhances the electronic conductivity of the Si/SiC@C composites dramatically, as w… Show more
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.
