TiO2 / SiO2核 / 壳结构复合粒子的组装及其电化学性能

TiO₂ coated SiO₂ materials as anode for lithium-ion batteries were synthesized via an in situ hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate under ultrasonic irradiation using nanometer-sized TiO₂ colloids as precursors. The XRD patterns indicate that the as-prepared core/shell particles remain anatase after calcining below 800 ℃. TEM observation shows that the particle size of TiO₂ / SiO₂ composites is ca. 200 nm, and a homogeneous SiO₂ layer is coated on the surfaces of TiO₂ particles. FTIR spectra demonstrate that SiO₂ could have been coated on the surfaces of TiO₂ particles via a chemical bonding. In addition, the first specific charge and discharge capacities of the coated particle electrode were 66.4 mAh·g^-1 and 90.7 mAh·g^-1, respectively, which indicates that the TiO₂ / SiO₂ particles are more stable than the monodispersed TiO₂. Meanwhile, the new material has good lithium intercalation-deintercalation performances.
