Si-TiN alloy Li-ion battery negative electrode materials made by N2 gas milling
2018
Si-TiN alloys are attractive for use as negative electrodes in Li-ion cells because of the high conductivity, low electrolyte reactivity, and thermal stability of TiN. Here it is shown that Si-TiN alloys with high Si content can surprisingly be made by simply ball milling Si and Ti powders in N 2 (g); a reaction not predicted by thermodynamics. This offers a low-cost and simple method of synthesizing these attractive materials. The resulting alloys have smaller grain sizes than Si-TiN made by ball milling Si and TiN directly, giving them high thermal stability and improved cycling characteristics in Li cells.
