The lithium storage performance of silicon (Si) can be enhanced by being alloyed with germanium (Ge) because of its good electronic and ionic conductivity. Here, we synthesized a three-dimensional nanoporous (3D-NP) SiGe alloy as a high-performance lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode using a dealloying method with a ternary AlSiGe ribbon serving as the precursor. The morphology and porosity of the as-synthesized SiGe alloy can be controlled effectively by adjusting the sacrificial Al content of the precursor. With an Al content of 80%, the 3D-NP SiGe presents uniformly coral-like structure with continuous ligaments and hierarchical micropores and mesopores, which leads to a high reversible capacity of 1158 mA h g after 150 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g with excellent rate capacity. The strategy might provide guidelines for nanostructure optimization and mass production of energy storage materials.
硅(Si)与锗(Ge)合金化可以提高其储锂性能,因为其具有良好的电子和离子导电性。在此,我们使用三元 AlSiGe 带作为前驱体,通过脱合金化方法合成了一种具有三维纳米多孔(3D-NP)结构的 SiGe 合金,作为高性能锂离子电池(LIB)的阳极。通过调整前驱体中牺牲 Al 的含量,可以有效地控制所合成的 SiGe 合金的形态和孔隙率。当 Al 含量为 80%时,3D-NP SiGe 呈现出均匀的珊瑚状结构,具有连续的链状和分级的微孔和介孔,在 1000 mA g 的电流密度下循环 150 次后,可逆容量高达 1158 mA h g-1,具有优异的倍率性能。该策略可能为储能材料的纳米结构优化和大规模生产提供指导。
