研究目的
Investigating the structural and electrochemical changes in silicon nanowire anodes during lithiation and delithiation cycles using in situ Raman spectroscopy to understand SEI formation and identify new signals.
研究成果
In situ Raman spectroscopy effectively differentiates between SEI formation and structural changes in silicon nanowire anodes. A new signal at 1859 cm?1 is detected, attributed to an unknown SEI component, with carbon coating reducing its intensity. The method complements operando XRD and provides insights into amorphous and liquid species.
研究不足
Challenges include reduced Raman signal due to SEI layer thickness and fluorescence, potential sample irradiation damages, and difficulty in focusing due to electrolyte changes. The new Raman signal at 1859 cm?1 remains unassigned.
