Abstract

Polyaniline encapsulated silicon (Si/PANI) nanocomposite as anode materials for high-capacity lithium ion batteries has been prepared by an in situ chemical polymerization of aniline monomer in the suspension of Si nanoparticles. The obtained Si/PANI nanocomposite demonstrates a reversible specific capacity of 840 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at a rate of 100 mA g−1 and excellent cycling stability. The enhanced electrochemical performance can be due to that the polyaniline (PANI) matrix offers a continuous electrically conductive network as well as enhances the compatibility of electrode materials and electrolyte as a result of suppressing volume stress of Si during cycles and preventing the agglomeration of Si nanoparticles.
