Utilization of Coal Fly-Ash derived Silicon (Si) as Capacity Enhancer of Li-Ion Batteries Anode Material
The increasing demand for energy has caused a rise in coal usage, resulting in high fly ash generation. The high SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 content in fly ashes (FAs) allow them to be processed in electrical energy storage technology, such as lithium-ion-based secondary batteries. The research aims to d...

description | The increasing demand for energy has caused a rise in coal usage, resulting in high fly ash generation. The high SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 content in fly ashes (FAs) allow them to be processed in electrical energy storage technology, such as lithium-ion-based secondary batteries. The research aims to develop silicon from FAs for Li-ion battery applications. The fabrication of silicon materials employed in this study are (i) extraction of SiO2 from FA, (ii) gelation of SiO2, (iii) magnesiothermic reduction of SiO2 to Si under N2 flow, (iv) purification of silicon, (v) the solid-state composite fabrication of Si/C. The as-prepared Si was characterized. XRD test showed the presence of silicon phase and minor impurities in Mg. SEM analysis of the Si showed that the material has a polymorph shape with a rough surface of micron-sized secondary particles. EDX test showed the presence of impurities in the form of O and Mg atoms; meanwhile, the EDX mapping confirmed the dominant distribution of Si in the sample. Galvanostatic charge-discharge analysis of a battery with 5%Si/C anode and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 or NCM811 cathode resulted in a specific charge and discharge capacity of 600 mAh/g and 473.6 mAh/g, respectively, which is greater than the graphite theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g. |
