Abstract

The possibility to electrodeposit silicon directly on a copper current collector out of organic electrolyte and ionic liquid was investigated with the aim to alloy the deposited silicon with lithium to prove the possible use as negative electrode in lithium ion batteries. Cyclovoltammetric analyses have shown in comparison to electrodes containing high crystalline silicon similar behaviour during the electrochemical alloying and dealloying process. SEM analyses have shown a particle size of the deposited silicon in submicron range.
