Single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) additives were formulated into μm-Si-graphite composite electrodes and tested in both half cells and full cells with high nickel cathodes.The critical role of small amount of SWCNT addition (0.2 wt％) was found for significantly improving delithiation capacity,first cycle coulombic efficiency (FCE),and capacity retention.Particularly,Si (10 wt％)-graphite electrode exhibits 560 mAh/g delithiation capacity and 92％ FCE at 0.2 C during the first chargedischarge cycle,and 91％ capacity retention after 50 cycles (0.5 C) in a half cell.Scanning electron microscope (SEM)was used to illustrate the electrode morphology,compositions and promoting function of the SWCNT additives.In addition,full cells assembled with high nickel-NCM811 cathodes and μm-Si-graphite composite anodes were evaluated for the consistence between half and full cell performance,and the consideration for potential commercial application.Finally,criteria to assess Si-containing anodes are proposed and discussed from an industrial perspective.
