In this study, silicon / carbon nanotube / carbon composite particles with high capacity
were fabricated by using micro-sized silicon particles and carbon nanotubes as an anode
material for lithium ion batteries. The silicon / carbon nanotube / carbon composite particles
were prepared by spray drying method to prepare spherical composite particles. The composite
particles have the network structure of the carbon nanotubes around the silicon particles, in
which the silicon particles and the carbon nanotubes are bonded by amorphous carbon. It appears
that the volume expansion of silicon is effectively buffered and the electrical contact is maintained
in the network structure of the composite particles during charge?discharge cycles.
