Detailed
North Konami provides MXene materials (customizable)
Si anodes with high theoretical capacity have good application prospects in lithium battery applications. However, its large volume expansion (~300%) and poor electrical conductivity require the simultaneous introduction of low-density conductive carbon and nano-sized Si to overcome the above problems, however, this results in lower volume capacity. In view of this, the research team of Professor Li Yunyong of Guangdong University of Technology published the latest research results in "ACS Nano", and proposed an integration strategy to realize the double-coated structure of Si and the tight structure engineering to construct 3D highly stacked Ti3C2Tx MXene and graphene. Double-clad Si structure (HD-Si@Ti3C2Tx@G). Benefiting from the high density, high conductivity, and 3D compact double-coated Si structure, the as-prepared HD-Si@Ti3C2Tx@G anode exhibits a high performance of 5206 mAh cm-3 at 0.1 A g-1. The volume specific capacity, the mass specific capacity is 2892 mAh g-1, the area specific capacity is 17.9 mAh cm-2 with excellent cycle stability. Combined with in situ TEM technology and kinetic and structural stability analysis, it is proved that such excellent performance is mainly due to the double coating of Si-structured 3D conductive plasticity MXene and graphene, which can promote the rapid transport of electrons and ions and effective volume buffering. Good electrolyte permeability with thick electrodes.
