This Si@MoS2–G nanostructure engineering and hybridization approach confers shielding in volume expansion because the Si nanoparticles are sandwiched in layers, which allows adequate space between the MoS2–G layers for easy lithium ion transport.

Particle size plays an important role in the electrochemical performance of cathodes for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. High energy planetary ball milling of LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) cathode materials was investigated as a route to reduce the particle size and improve the electrochemical performance. The effect of ball milling times, milling speeds, and composition on the structure and properties of NMC cathodes was determined. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that ball milling decreased primary particle (crystallite) size by up to 29%, and the crystallite size was correlated with the milling time and milling speed. Using relatively mild milling conditions that provided an intermediate crystallite size, cathodes with higher capacities, improved rate capabilities, and improved capacity retention were obtained within 14 μm-thick electrode configurations. High milling speeds and long milling times not only resulted in smaller crystallite sizes but also lowered electrochemical performance. Beyond reduction in crystallite size, ball milling was found to increase the interfacial charge transfer resistance, lower the electrical conductivity, and produce aggregates that influenced performance. Computations support that electrolyte diffusivity within the cathode and film thickness play a significant role in the electrode performance. This study shows that cathodes with improved performance are obtained through use of mild ball milling conditions and appropriately designed electrodes that optimize the multiple transport phenomena involved in electrochemical charge storage materials.

AbstractFlexible energy devices with high energy density and long cycle life are considered to be promising applications in portable electronics. In this study, silicon/carbon nanofiber (Si@CNF) core–shell electrode has been prepared by the coaxial electrospinning method. The precursors of polyimide (PI) were for the first time used to form the core–shell structure of Si@CNF, which depicts outstanding flexibility and mechanical strength. The effect of doping concentrations of silicon (Si) nanoparticles embedded in the fiber is investigated as a binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries. A 15 wt% doped composite electrode demonstrates superior performance, with an initial reversible capacity of 621 mA h g−1 at the current density of 100 mA g−1 and a high capacity retention up to 200 cycles. The excellent cycling performance is mainly due to the carbonized PI core–shell structure, which not only can compensate for the insulation property of Si but also has the ability to buffer the volume expansion during the repeated charge–discharge process.
