  •        The commercial graphite anode capacity is around 360mAh/g, which is very close to its theoretical specific capacity of 372mAh/g. In comparison, the theoretical specific capacity of silicon materials is very high (Li22Si5 formed at high temperature, corresponding to a capacity of 4200 mAh/g; Li15Si4 formed at room temperature, corresponding to a capacity of 3579 mAh/g; for comparison of volumetric energy density, graphite is 837mAh/cm3, Li15Si4 is 9786mAh/cm3). Compared with other anode materials, the delithiation voltage is also low (~0.5V), only slightly higher than graphite, so silicon-based materials are expected to become the supporting anode materials for high-energy density lithium batteries, with high nickel NCM811/NCA positive electrode for best results.
          SiOx belongs to an amorphous structure, and there are amorphous Si, amorphous SiO2 clusters and a boundary layer between SiO phases at the same time. It is generally believed that the following reactions occur during the first electrochemical cycle of silicon oxide:
    SiO + Li → 1/4 Li4SiO4+ 3/4 Si (irreversible) (1)    Si + Li ↔ Li3.75Si (reversible) (2)
          More detailed research shows that the first lithium insertion of silicon oxide will undergo successive SiO2 component continuous lithiation, Si component continuous alloying, Li4SiO4 decomposition and further lithiation, and final lithium deposition. As the degree of lithiation increases, the capacity and first effect of silicon oxide gradually increase.

    Storage Condition

     

    1、Suggest storage temperature and humidity controlled below 40 ℃ and 60 %RH, respectively, for brandnew; After opening, please use it up as soon as possible.
    2、After opening for 1 hour, it is a natural phenomenon for moisture regain, implying that moisture content of powder could be increased to 3000 ppm. Suggest drying it again before use.
