Dopamine was used as the carbon precursor to prepare SiO/C composite. Dopamine achieved self-polymerization and covered on the surface of the SiO particles in Tris-buffer, and the SiO/C composites were gained after heat-treating in the tube furnace under Argon. X-ray diffraction ( XRD ) , scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) were used to determine the phases obtained and to observe the morphologies of the composite. The galvanostatic discharge/charge test was carried out to characterize the electrochemical properties of the composite. When the sample of the mixed SiO and dopamine at a weight ratio of 1 : 3, the composite showed the best cycle ability with the discharge capacity of 1362 mAh g−1 in the first cycle, and the initial coulombic efficiency is 55.6%, after 50 cycles, the discharge capacity is 442 mAh g−1. The improved stability of the composite is attributed to carbon-coating forming during heat-treatment process.

Silicon and related materials have recently received considerable attention as potential anodes in Li-ion batteries for their high theoretical specific capacities. To overcome the problem of volume change , composites comprising porous silicon, disordered carbon (DC) have been prepared by pyrolyzing the critic acid. This composite anode material showed a discharge capacity of 1390 mAh/g in the first cycle, and the initial columbic efficiency is 70%. After 20 cycles, the discharge capacity of the material is 511 mAh/g. The improved stability of this material is hypothesized to depend on the unique structure of porous Si and the coated DC. The morphologies of the composites were systematically investigated by the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It can be observed that porous Si particles were embedded into the matrix of the DC. The capacity and cycling stability of the composites were systematically evaluated by electrochemical charge/discharge tests.

Li2-xFeSiO4/C (x=0.01, 0.05, 0.1) were successfully synthesized by a traditional solid-state method and systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the charge-discharge test, respectively. The results demonstrated that Li2-xFeSiO4exhibited the best electrochemical performance among the three as-synthsied samples. it delivered a specific discharge capacity of 142 mAh g-1, 112 mAh g-1at 0.2 C and 2 C, respectively. After 100 cycles at the rate of 1 C, the discharge capacity remained 95.1% of its initial value.

The low initial coulombic efficiency of a Si-based anode can hinder the performance of practical full-cell Li-ion batteries (LIBs), as the irreversible capacity loss of the anode can diminish the reversible full-cell capacity and the energy efficiency.
