T. Umeno et al., Novel anode material for lithium-ion batteries: Carbon-coated silicon prepared by thermal vapor decomposition, CHEM LETT, (11), 2001, pp. 1186-1187
Carbon-coated Si has been prepared by thermal vapor decomposition technique
. The electrochemical behaviors of carbon-coated Si together with Si have b
een investigated as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The good cyc
leability of carbon-coated Si under lithiation capacity of 1200 mA h/g has
been correlated with ex situ XRD patterns as well as SEM graphs.
