Siloxane-capped amorphous nano-SiOx/graphite with improved dispersion ability and battery anode performance†
Abstract
Siloxane-capped amorphous nano-SiOx/graphite was prepared by simple reduction and self-organization, and facile particle dispersion. 92% capacity retention of the composite anode is ascribed to effective accommodation of the volume change, and uniform distribution of SiOx on the graphite matrix.
