Abstract

In this study, silicon/multi-wall carbon nanotube (Si/MWCNT) and silicon/molybdenum/multi-wall carbon nanotube (Si/Mo/MWCNT) composites were produced by high speed planetary ball milling. Produced Si/MWCNT composite containing 50 wt.% Si and 50 wt.% MWCNT and dispersingdi erent amount of molybdenum nanopowders (1 wt.%, 3 wt.% and 5 wt.%) Si/Mo/MWCNT composites were produced by high speed planetary ball milling. Surface morphology of produced composite electrodes was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and EDS dot-map analyze was performed to investigate dispersion of MWCNT and molybdenum powders in the composite structure. X-ray di raction (XRD) technique was carried out to investigate structure of produced Si/Mo/MWCNT composites. Electrochemical performance of the electrodes were tested between 50 mV and 1.5 V in CR2016 test cell.
