摘要

The superiority of silicon (Si) film performance as anode material in the rechargeable battery technologies is tormented by the huge volume expansion during cycle. The combined structure of a microcrystalline Si with high porous/defect density and an isotropic amorphous Si has been proposed as a feasible solution. Our own deposition process using atmospheric-pressure (AP) plasma excited by very high-frequency (VHF) power has managed to create a non-composite Si film with gradient phase along thickness direction. It is highly indicated that a slower gas flow rate and/or a larger power input cause the nanoparticle formation in the AP-VHF plasma to occur more actively, which significantly influenced the development of a crystalline layer with a high density of grain boundaries. A good film reproducibility on Cu substrate imply an interesting possibility of heterostructured Si application for LIBs anode.
