Abstract
ABSTRACTThe nanostructured Si@S‐doped C (Si/C) hybrid is synthesized via a mild hydrothermal process of glucose and the simultaneous polymerization of 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene and poly(sodium‐4‐styrene sulfonate) on the surface of nano‐Si powders, then followed by a calcination process. A new water soluble polymer of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) grafted with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) is synthesized via a free‐radical polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) in a 1:1 weight ratio in PVA water solution. The Si/C anode using PVA‐g‐PAA binder, exhibits improved lithium storage properties and cycling stability than that of the parallel electrode with carboxymethyl cellulose binder, which exhibits an initial coulombic efficiency (82.0%), even a reversible capacity of 487 mAh g−1 after 300 cycles with 81.2% capacity retention at 0.4 A g−1. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
