In situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) offers a good way to investigate the structural evolution during lithiation and delithiation processes. In this paper, the dynamical morphological evolution of 3D-line-structured/unstructured Si/C composite electrodes was observed by in situ SEM. The investigation revealed the microstructural origin of large charge capacity for 3D-line-structured anodes. Based on this proposed mechanism, a coarse optimization of 3D-line-structured anodes was proposed. These results shed light on the unique advantages of using an in situ SEM technique when studying realistic bulk batteries and designing 3D electrode structures.

Discharge Test

Si/C composites were synthesized by using graphite and glucose as carbon source. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope(SEM). The electrochemical charge/discharge test was used to evaluate capacity and cycling stability of the composites. The first discharge and charge capacity of SGC composite using graphite and glucose as carbon source were 1661mAh/g and 1259.1 mAh/g, and the first coulombic efficiency was 75.8%. After 20 cycles, the capacity of SGC composite was 380 mAh/g and the coulombic efficiency remained over 98%.
