Résumé

Si(CO)y(0 ≤y≤ 0.43) alloys were synthesized by reactive gas milling silicon in CO2at room temperature. Silicon reacts with CO2rapidly during milling, incorporating C and O in a 1:1 ratio to form alloys consisting of Si nanograins dispersed in an amorphous Si-O-C matrix. The capacity behavior of these alloys suggests the formation of inactive SiC and Li4SiO4during the first lithiation. This implies that such alloys can have significantly greater initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) than SiOxat any given gravimetric or volumetric capacity.
