Abstract

Abstract: The poor cycling stability resulting from the large volume expansion caused by lithiation is a critical issue for Si‐based anodes. Herein, we report for the first time of a new yolk–shell structured high tap density composite made of a carbon‐coated rigid SiO2 outer shell to confine multiple Si NPs (yolks) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with embedded Fe2 O3 nanoparticles (NPs). The high tap density achieved and superior conductivity can be attributed to the efficiently utilised inner void containing multiple Si yolks, Fe2 O3 NPs, and CNTs Li + storage materials, and the bridged spaces between the inner Si yolks and outer shell through a conductive CNTs "highway". Half cells can achieve a high area capacity of 3.6 mAh cm −2 and 95 % reversible capacity retention after 450 cycles. The full cell constructed using a Li‐rich Li2 V2 O5 cathode can achieve a high reversible capacity of 260 mAh g −1 after 300 cycles. Abstract : Es ist noch Platz im Ei : Die Verbesserung der Leitfähigkeit und Klopfdichte Dotter‐Schale‐strukturierter Si/C‐Anoden für Li‐Ionen‐Batterien gelingt durch Einführung von in Kohlenstoffnanoröhren(CNT)‐Netzwerken eingebetteten Fe2 O3 ‐Nanopartikeln (Fe2 O3 ‐NPs) in den Leerraum zwischen den Si‐„Dottern" und der äußeren Doppelschale. Eine Vollzelle kann eine hohe reversible Kapazität von 260 mAh g −1 nach 300 Zyklen erreichen.
