Abstract
A new anode composition comprising SiO and graphite(C) is prepared through a high-energy ball milling process. During the first cycle, the anode delivers high discharge and charge capacity values of 1556 and 693 mAh g −1, respectively. The electrode shows a reversible charge capacity value of 688 mAh g −1 at the 30th cycle with 99% Coulombic efficiency. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that ball milling does not produce any new compound, but only causes a reduction in particle size. The irreversible and reversible capacities appear to be interdependent.
