Abstract

Nanostructured Si–C composite materials were prepared by dispersing nanocrystalline Si in carbon aerogel and subsequent carbonization. Through this process, nanosize Si was homogeneously distributed in a carbon matrix. The Si–C composites exhibit a reversible lithium storage capacity of 1450 mA h/g when used as anodes in lithium-ion cells. The nanostructured Si–C composite electrodes demonstrated good cyclability. The Si–C composites could provide a novel anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
