Novel core-shell structure hard carbon/Si-carbon composites are prepared, and their electrochemical performances as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries are reported. Three different types of shell coating are applied using Si-carbon, Si-carbon black-carbon and Si-carbon black-carbon/graphite nanosheets. It appears that the use of n-Si/carbon black/carbon composite particles in place of n-Si for the shell coating is of great importance to achieve enhanced electrochemical performances from the core-shell composite samples, and additional wrapping with graphite nanosheets leads to a more stable cycle performance of the core-shell composites.

Abstract The reasonable design of nanostructure is the key to solving the inherent defects and realizing a high performance of Li2FeSiO4 cathode materials. In this work, a novel heterostructure CNT@Li2FeSiO4@C has been designed and synthesized and used as a cathode material for lithium-ion battery. It is revealed that the product has a uniform core-shell structure, and the thickness of the Li2FeSiO4 layer and the outer carbon layer is about 19 nm and 2 nm, respectively. The rational design effectively accelerates the diffusion of lithium ions, improves the electric conductivity, and relieves the volume change during the charging/discharging process. With the advantages of its specific structure, CNT@Li2FeSiO4@C has successfully overcome the inherent shortcomings of Li2FeSiO4 and shown good reversible capacity and cycle properties.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool in charge transfer (CT) process research. By analyzing the relative intensity of the characteristic bands in the bridging molecules, one can obtain detailed information about the CT between two materials. Herein, we synthesized a series of Au nanorods (NRs) with different length-to-diameter ratios (L/Ds) and used these Au NRs to prepare a series of core–shell structures with the same Cu2O thicknesses to form Au NR–4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA)@Cu2O core–shell structures. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption bands were adjusted by tuning the L/Ds of Au NR cores in these assemblies. SERS spectra of the core-shell structure were obtained under 633 and 785 nm laser excitations, and on the basis of the differences in the relative band strengths of these SERS spectra detected with the as-synthesized assemblies, we calculated the CT degree of the core–shell structure. We explored whether the Cu2O conduction band and valence band position and the SPR absorption band position together affect the CT process in the core–shell structure. In this work, we found that the specific surface area of the Au NRs could influence the CT process in Au NR–MBA@Cu2O core–shell structures, which has rarely been discussed before.
