| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Elemental Si has a high theoretical capacity and has attracted attention as an anode material for high energy density lithium-ion batteries. Rapid capacity fading is the main problem with Si-based electrodes; this is mainly because of a massive volume change in Si during lithiation－delithiation. Here, we report that combining an ionic-liquid electrolyte with a charge capacity limit significantly suppresses Si volume expansion, improving the cycle life. We also establish a method of analysis to Li concentration in Si phase using soft-X-ray emission spectroscopy.
Some silicide electrodes maintain a high discharge capacity in an ionic-liquid electrolyte, whereas they show poor cycling performance in an organic electrolyte. The superior performance results from the high affinity for the transition metal that composes the silicide with Li. The obtained results will provide significant insights into novel alloy-based active materials for negative-electrode in lithium-ion batteries.
