Abstract:
Silicon monoxide (SiO) is a very promising anode material for the next generation high energy lithium ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity of 1710 mAh/g and volumetric capacity of 1547 Ah/L.[1] Compared to commercially used graphite, SiO can offer 18% cell stack level improvement in volumetric energy density and 11% in gravimetric energy density (calculated based on the same cell stack model), enabling utilization of smaller and lighter batteries. It also offers more stable cycle performance compared to Si due to less volume change (134% initial volume expansion and 117% reversible volume expansion), making it a more practical choice for lithium ion batteries in the near future. SiO is composed of Si nanodomains in a SiO 2 matrix. An interphase region of transitional stoichiometry (SiO x , 0 〈 x 〈 2) is also present between Si and SiO 2 and takes up 20-25 at.% of the entire composition.[2] During the lithiation and delithiation, the Si nanodomains react reversibly with lithium, similar to amorphous silicon, to give the reversible capacity. The SiO 2 matrix reacts irreversibly with lithium to form lithium silicates and lithium oxide. Therefore, the Si domain size and interphase suboxide between Si and SiO 2 have effect on the electrochemical performance of SiO. In this study, we gradually changed the microstructure of SiO via annealing treatment and thoroughly studied the change of the SiO microstructure and its impact on the electrochemical performance of the SiO. Together with electrode formulation optimization, up to 99% capacity retention during 50 cycles was obtained in full cells when using pure SiO as anode and LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 O 2 as cathode.
