Structure and Electrochemical Properties of a Mechanochemically Processed Silicon and Oxide-Based Nanoscale Composite as an Active Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Figure 12
Schematic illustration of the composite formed by grinding Si, H2O, and Cu. The composite can be modelled as an aggregate of Si, Cu3Si nanoscale grains, and Si oxidation products near the surface, similar to a Si particle covered with a Si oxide film.
