Abstract
graphite particles were first coated with silicon precursor containing solution by gas suspension spray method and thencalcined at heat treatment temperature at 500oC under hydrogen atmosphere. The silicon-coated graphite showed highspecific capacity and good cycle performance due to the formation of amorphous silicon-carbon black composite layeron the surface of the graphite particles. It has stable structure under repeated volume expansion and contraction. Thesilicon-coated graphite still has high irreversible capacity due to the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation duringthe 1st cycle. However, the capacity loss could be lessened to a certain level by controlling the composition of the sol-vent mixture in the electrolyte.
