Abstract:The high energy density of Si makes it a preferred anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, the low conductivity and large volume changes associated with the charging and discharging processes lead to a rapid decay in capacity during cycling, which hinders its commercialization. In this study, micron-scale PSi@PEDOT/GO composites were prepared by coating commercial Al–Si alloys with poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) and graphene oxide (GO) using in situ polymerization and freeze-drying methods.… Show more
