Abstract:
Silicon is widely studied as a high-capacity lithium-ion battery anode. However, the pulverization of silicon caused by a large volume expansion during lithiation impedes it from being used as a next generation anode for lithium-ion batteries. To overcome this drawback, we synthesized ultrathin silicon nanowires. These nanowires are 1D silicon nanostructures fabricated by a new bi-metal-assisted chemical etching process. We compared the lithium-ion battery properties of silicon nanowires with different average diameters of 100[Formula: see text]nm, 30[Formula: see text]nm and 10[Formula: see text]nm and found that the 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowire anode has the most stable properties for use in lithium-ion batteries. The above anode demonstrates a discharge capacity of 1066.0[Formula: see text]mAh/g at a current density of 300[Formula: see text]mA/g when based on the mass of active materials; furthermore, the ultrathin silicon nanowire with average diameter of 30[Formula: see text]nm anode retains 87.5% of its capacity after the 50th cycle, which is the best among the three silicon nanowire anodes. The 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowire anode has a more proper average diameter and more efficient content of SiOx. The above prevents the 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowires from pulverization and broken during cycling, and helps the 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowires anode to have a stable SEI layer, which contributes to its high stability.

Abstract:
This computational research study will compare the specific charge capacity (SCC) between lithium ions inserted into crystallized silicon (c-Si) nanowires with that of sodium ions inserted into amorphous silicon (a-Si) nanowires. It will be demonstrated that the potential energy V(r) within a lithium–silicon nanowire supports a coherent energy state model with discrete electron particles, while the potential energy of a sodium–silicon nanowire will be discovered to be essentially zero, and, thus, the electron current that travels through a sodiated silicon nanowire will be modeled as a free electron with wave-like characteristics. This is due to the vast differences in the electric fields of lithiated and sodiated silicon nanowires, where the electric fields are of the order of 1010 V/m and 10−15 V/m, respectively. The main reason for the great disparity in electric fields is the presence of optical amplification within lithium ions and the absence of this process within sodium ions. It will be shown that optical amplification develops coherent optical interactions, which is the primary reason for the surge of specific charge capacity in the lithiated silicon nanowire. Conversely, the lack of optical amplification is the reason for the incoherent optical interactions within sodium ions, which is the reason for the low presence of SCC in sodiated silicon nanowires.

Abstract:
Abstract Li-ion batteries are extensively used in electronic devices, cell phones, new energy vehicle batteries, and other sectors, and they have a lot of promise in electric cars and other domains. With the development of the times, batteries with carbon as anode material can no longer meet the demand of electric vehicles and other fields for battery energy density. Silicon, one of the most potential anode materials, demonstrates extremely high theoretical battery energy density. In the past few years, research on silicon nanostructures, especially silicon nanowires, has effectively solved the problem of volume change of Li alloying with Si, and significantly improved the life and charge-discharge rates of anodes. Moreover, the composite of silicon nanowires with other materials has become one of the most interesting research directions. This paper reviews several silicon nanowires grown in different preparation methods and their impacts on the performance of lithium-ion batteries as anode materials. Two kinds of silicon nanowire composite with other materials as anode of lithium-ion battery are also introduced.

Abstract:
Here we report an approach to roll out Li-ion battery components from silicon chips by a continuous and repeatable etch-infiltrate-peel cycle. Vertically aligned silicon nanowires etched from recycled silicon wafers are captured in a polymer matrix that operates as Li+ gel-electrolyte and electrode separator and peeled off to make multiple battery devices out of a single wafer. Porous, electrically interconnected copper nanoshells are conformally deposited around the silicon nanowires to stabilize the electrodes over extended cycles and provide efficient current collection. Using the above developed process we demonstrate an operational full cell 3.4 V lithium-polymer silicon nanowire (LIPOSIL) battery which is mechanically flexible and scalable to large dimensions.

Abstract:
Silicon nanowires are appealing structures to enhance the capacity of anodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, to attain industrial relevance, their synthesis requires a reduced cost. An important part of the cost is devoted to the silicon growth catalyst, usually gold. Here, we replace gold with tin, introduced as low-cost tin oxide nanoparticles, to produce a graphite–silicon nanowire composite as a long-standing anode active material. It is equally important to control the silicon size, as this determines the rate of decay of the anode performance. In this work, we demonstrate how to control the silicon nanowire diameter from 10 to 40 nm by optimizing growth parameters such as the tin loading and the atmosphere in the growth reactor. The best composites, with a rich content of Si close to 30% wt., show a remarkably high initial Coulombic efficiency of 82% for SiNWs 37 nm in diameter.

Abstract:
With the development of technology, graphite materials in traditional lithium batteries can no longer meet people’s needs due to their relatively low specific capacity, limited charging and discharging rates, and poor safety. Silicon has a very high theoretical specific capacity, far exceeding traditional graphite negative electrode materials, making silicon nanoparticles an ideal choice for improving the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, we first introduce the silicon nanoparticle anode and its preparation methods: mechanical ball milling, and thermal cracking, and introduce the application of binders in it. Secondly, the silicon nanowire anode and the chemical deposition method for its preparation are introduced, and the high-performance silicon nanowire lithium battery of Amprius is introduced. Thirdly, the preparation of silicon thin film anode and two types of composite film was introduced. Finally, the three types of silicon nano anodes are summarized and prospected. This paper has reference significance for the future research of silicon-based lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract:
This research is a theoretical study that simulates the volume expansion of a prelithiated silicon nanowire during lithium-ion insertion and the application of an electric current. Utilizing density functional theory (DFT) the ground state energy Eg (x) of prelithiated silicon (LixSi) is defined as a function of the lithium-ion (Li+) concentration (x). As the Li+ are increased, Eg (x) become increasingly stable from x = 1.00 through x = 2.415 and decrease in stability as the lithium-ion concentration becomes x > 2.415 until full lithiation of the silicon nanowire is reached at x = 3.75. After the determination of the lithiated silicon ground state energies, an electric current is applied to the lithiated silicon nanowire at various Li+ concentrations x. It was discovered that the volume expansion began at approximately x = 3.25 and increased to over 300% of the original volume of a pristine silicon nanowire at x = 3.75 which at this point was full lithiation. This is in sharp contrast to prior research studies where the ground state energy was not considered. In previous studies, the computation of the volume expansion starts approximately at x = 0.75 and produces a continuous nonlinear volume expansion until the process is terminated at full lithiation.

Abstract:
Silicon has been considered as a crucial electrode material for the gradually adaptation of lithium-ion batteries into electrical-vehicle market and further utilizations of the next generation batteries, since silicon anodes can provide both commercial-friendly energy density and excellent cycle stability. Although much progress has been made in the research on silicon nano-negative electrodes, there is a lack of concentrated discussion on the development status and problems of silicon nanowires, especially in consideration of the fact that the 1-D nanowire structure presents an excellent property on volume change. Focusing on the research of Si-NWs structure, this paper will go through the preparation progress and electrochemical performance of Si-NWs, and analyse the new research direction of Si anode fabrication improvement. Attention is also paid to the shortcomings of Si nanowires in improving area capacity and maintaining stable SEI layer. To solve the mentioned problems, latest research progress such as branched silicon structure and fabrics made of nanowires are taken into consideration, aiming to provide more insights for fabricating new Si nanostructures in LIBs. This paper is expected to help researchers better carry out further work on structure and process by summarizing the research progress of silicon nanowires in LIBs and provide inspiration for other research directions.

Abstract:
In recent years, silicon nanowires have become a hot spot in the new material industry. As a kind of nanomaterial, silicon nanowires have excellent physical and chemical properties. However, the preparation method of silicon nanowires is not mature enough, which limits its further application. This paper mainly analyses the mechanism, advantages and disadvantages of several mainstream silicon nanowires preparation methods, and discusses the application of silicon nanowires and the future development direction. The results show that the chemical vapor deposition method can be used for large-scale preparation of silicon nanowires, while the laser ablation method can produce silicon nanowires with higher purity, and the electron beam lithography method has the advantages of high flexibility. However, the efficiency of these three methods is not high, and the cost is high, which is also the problem that the silicon nanowire preparation industry is looking forward to solve. Relying on the excellent conductivity, thermal conductivity and other characteristics of silicon nanowires, silicon nanowires can be applied to a variety of new energy industries. Based on the properties of silicon nanowires, this paper analyses the application of silicon nanowires in lithium batteries, solar cells, biosensors and thermoelectric materials in recent years, and forecasts its development trend, so as to provide a certain reference for researchers to further explore the research of silicon nanowires.

Abstract:
In recent years, because of a more prominent power electrification, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted more and more interest in the scientific community. The desire to increase the battery performance, capacity, and power density has led to the development of new electrode materials. Silicon has emerged as a prominent anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries because of its high capacity [1] (10 times higher than graphite) and energy density. However, its utilization is limited by poor electronic conductivity and significant volume changes (up to 400%) observed during the lithiation-delithiation alloying process [1]. To address these challenges and promote wider adoption of silicon as an anode material, several strategies are being explored. Among these, one of the most promising approaches involves the use of silicon in nanowire form (SiNWs) [2,3] . SiNWs help to mitigate the volume expansion during cycling due to their nanostructure, hence giving higher capacity retention to the anode. In this study, SiNWs were directly grown on graphite flakes using tin (Sn) metal as seed through a straightforward and scalable synthesis method previously developed in our lab. This poster focused on the aim of achieving good homogeneity and dispersion of all the materials in order to optimize the SiNWs synthesis. To achieve this goal, an in-depth study has been performed on ball-mill mixing, investigating different milling times and speeds, and revealing the significant influence of these parameters on the final product. A comparative analysis between the ball-milled samples and those mixed using standard agitators demonstrates a reduced tendency for the formation of tin clusters in the ball-milled sample. Consequently, the ball-milled samples exhibit higher homogeneity in the distribution of the nanowires. These results have been confirmed by electrochemical tests performed in half-cells, that show the comparison of the performances for SNWs growth with different parameters. References: Boukamp, B., G.

We show full Li/S cells with the use of balanced and high capacity electrodes to address high power electro-mobile applications. The anode is made of an assembly comprising of silicon nanowires as active material densely and conformally grown on a 3D carbon mesh as a light-weight current collector, offering extremely high areal capacity for reversible Li storage of up to 9 mAh/cm(2). The dense growth is guaranteed by a versatile Au precursor developed for homogenous Au layer deposition on 3D substrates. In contrast to metallic Li, the presented system exhibits superior characteristics as an anode in Li/S batteries such as safe operation, long cycle life and easy handling. These anodes are combined with high area density S/C composite cathodes into a Li/S full-cell with an ether- and lithium triflate-based electrolyte for high ionic conductivity. The result is a highly cyclable full-cell with an areal capacity of 2.3 mAh/cm(2), a cyclability surpassing 450 cycles and capacity retention of 80% after 150 cycles (capacity loss <0.4% per cycle). A detailed physical and electrochemical investigation of the SiNW Li/S full-cell including in-operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements reveals that the lower degradation is due to a lower self-reduction of polysulfides after continuous charging/discharging.

Abstract:
A process, called carbon nanotube templated microfabrication (CNT-M) makes high aspect ratio microstructures out of a wide variety of materials by growing patterned vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) as a framework and then infiltrating various materials into the frameworks by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By using the CNT-M procedure, a partial Si infiltration of carbon nanotube frameworks results in porous three dimensional microscale shapes consisting of silicon-carbon nanotube composites. The addition of thin silicon shells to the vertically aligned CNTs (VACNTs) enables the fabrication of robust silicon nanostructures with edibility to design a wide range of geometries. Nanoscale dimensions are determined by the diameter and spacing of the resulting silicon/carbon nanotubes while microscale dimensions are controlled by the lithographic patterning of CNT growth catalyst. The characterization and application of the new silicon nanomaterial, silicon-carbon core-shell nanotube (Si/CNT) composite, is investigated thoroughly in the dissertation.The Si/CNT composite is used as thin layer chromatography (TLC) separations media with precise microscale channels for fluid flow control and nanoscale porosity for high analyte capacity. Chemical separations done on the CNT-M structured media outperform commercial high performance TLC media resulting from separation efficiency and retention factor. The Si/CNT composite is also used as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. The composite is assembled into cells and tested by cycling against a lithium counter electrode. This CNT-M structured composite provides an effective test bed for studying the effects of geometry (e.g. electrode thickness, porosity, and surface area) on capacity and cycling performance. A combination of high gravimetric, volumetric, and areal capacity makes the composite an enabling materials system for high performance Li-ion batteries.Last, a thermal annealing to the Si/CNT composite results in the formation of silicon carbide nanowires (SiCNWs). This combination of annealing and Si/CNTs yields a unique fabrication approach resulting in porous three dimensional silicon carbide structures with precise control over shape and porosity.

Abstract:
Doctor of Philosophy<br>Department of Chemistry<br>Jun Li<br>Nanostructured electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage systems have been shown to improve both rate performance and capacity retention, while allowing considerably longer cycling lifetime. The nano-architectures provide enhanced kinetics by means of larger surface area, higher porosity, better material interconnectivity, shorter diffusion lengths, and overall mechanical stability. Meanwhile, active materials that once were excluded from use due to bulk property issues are now being examined in new nanoarchitecture. Silicon was such a material, desired for its large lithium-ion storage capacity of 4,200 mAh g[superscript]-1 and low redox potential of 0.4 V vs. Li/Li[superscript]+; however, a ~300% volume expansion and increased resistivity upon lithiation limited its broader applications. In the first study, the silicon-coated vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) array presents a unique core-shell nanowire (NW) architecture that demonstrates both good capacity and high rate performance. In follow-up, the Si-VACNFs NW electrode demonstrates enhanced power rate capabilities as it shows excellent storage capacity at high rates, attributed to the unique nanoneedle structure that high vacuum sputtering produces on the three-dimensional array. Following silicon’s success, titanium dioxide has been explored as an alternative highrate electrode material by utilizing the dual storage mechanisms of Li+ insertion and pseudocapacitance. The TiO[subscript]2-coated VACNFs shows improved electrochemical activity that delivers near theoretical capacity at larger currents due to shorter Li[superscript]+ diffusion lengths and highly effective electron transport. A unique cell is formed with the Si-coated and TiO[subscript]2-coated electrodes place counter to one another, creating the hybrid of lithium ion battery-pseudocapacitor that demonstrated both high power and high energy densities. The hybrid cell operates like a battery at lower current rates, achieving larger discharge capacity, while retaining one-third of that capacity as the current is raised by 100-fold. This showcases the VACNF arrays as a solid platform capable of assisting lithium active compounds to achieve high capacity at very high rates, comparable to modern supercapacitors. Lastly, manganese oxide is explored to demonstrate the high power rate performance that the VACNF array can provide by creating a supercapacitor that is highly effective in cycling at various high current rates, maintaining high-capacity and good cycling performance for thousands of cycles.

Samples of silicon nanowire materials, produced by Merck KGaA via a batched supercritical fluid method, were evaluated within composite electrodes for use as the active component in future lithium-ion battery negative electrodes. A comprehensive literature review of silicon based negative electrodes with a focus on silicon based composite type electrodes is provided. Characterisation of the nanowire materials was conducted via electron microscopy. Composite type electrodes were prepared utilising poly-acrylic acid as a binder material. Insight into the interaction of poly-acrylic acid with batch-1 nanowire material was achieved via a FTIR spectroscopy study, evidence for the formation of a binding interaction was observed. Composite electrodes containing nanowire material were electrochemically evaluated via the use of half-cells. The performance of the nanowire material samples was found to be significantly different and attributed to the use of differing precursor chemicals for synthesis. The structural variation of silicon nanowire particles within a composite electrode was investigated throughout an initial cycle and extended cycling. The electrochemical performance of composite electrodes containing the nanowire materials was found to depend critically on the composite electrode formulation and the electrolyte solution used. The rate performance was also observed to be influenced by the electrode formulation, suggesting the electronic and ionic conductivity of the composite electrode to be the rate limiting factors of the composite electrodes tested. Through the optimisation of composite electrode formulation and electrolyte, extended cycling at a capacity of over 600 mA h g-1(Composite) for 200 electrochemical cycles at a C-rate of C/10 was achieved, the highest number of cycles reported for SFLS silicon nanowire materials to date.

Abstract:
There is a growing interest for relying on cleaner and more sustainable energy sources due to the negative side-effects of the dominant fossil-fuel based energy storage and conversion systems. Cleaner, electrochemical energy storage through lithium-ion batteries has gained considerable interest and market value for applications such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. However, capacity and rate (power) limitations of current lithium-ion battery technology hinder its ability to meet the high energy demands in a competitive and reliable fashion. Silicon is an element with very high capacity to Li-ion storage although commercially impractical due to its poor stability and rate capabilities. Nevertheless, it has been heavily researched with more novel electrode nanostructures to improve its stability and rate capability. It was found that silicon nanomaterials such as silicon nanowires have inherently higher stability due to mitigation of cracking and higher rate capability due to the short Li-ion diffusion distance. However, electrode compositions based only on silicon nanowires without additional structural features and a high conductive support do not have enough stability and rate capability for successful commercialization. One structural and conductive support of silicon materials studied in literature is graphene. Graphene-based electrodes have been reported as material capable of rapid electron transport enabling new strides in rate capabilities for Li ion batteries. This thesis presents a novel electrode nanostructure with a simple, inexpensive, scalable method of silicon nanwire synthesis on graphene nanosheets via nickel catalyst. The research herein shows the different electrode compositions and variables studied to yield the highest achievable capacity, stability and rate capability performance. The carbon coating methodology in addition to enhancing the 3D conductivity of the electrode by replacing typical binders with pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile provided the highest performance results.
