Abstract

In this study, we comparatively study the electrochemical characteristics of Si, Si-C and vacuum-assisted filtration fabrication of a novel free-standing Si@C/Mutli Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) nanocomposite. The surfaces of the as-received Si nanaoparticles were coated with an amorphous carbon layer and homogenously anchored onto the surfaces of as-received MWCNTs by a simple vacuum filtration method. The samples were then analyzed with field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Si@C/MWCNT samples have shown a stable capacity of 1290 mA h g?1 after 200 cycles. The results have proven that MWCNT
