본 연구에서는 수열 합성법을 이용하여 나노 실리콘이 포함된 구형의 탄소 복합체를 합성하고, 석유계 피치로 코팅하여 제조된 음극 소재의 전기화학 특성을 조사하였다. 수크로스의 몰 농도를 변화시켜 수열합성한 후, 유기 용매로THF를 사용하여 피치로 코팅된 음극 복합소재를 제조하였다. 제조된 음극 소재는 SEM, EDS, XRD 및 TGA를 사용하여 물리적 특성을 분석하였으며, 1.0M LiPF6 (EC : DMC : EMC = 1 : 1 : 1 vol%) 전해액에서 사이클, 율속, 순환전압전류 및 임피던스 테스트를 통해 리튬이차전지의 전기화학 성능을 조사하였다. 1.5 M의 수크로스와 피치를 사용하여 제조된 실리콘/탄소 소재는 구형 형태를 보였으며, 1756 mAh/g의 높은 초기 용량, 50 사이클 후 82 %의 용량 유지율 및 2 C/0.1 C에서 81%의 우수한 속도 특성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, a spherical carbon composite material containing nano-silicon was synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis, and coated with petroleum pitch to prepare an anode material to investigate the electrochemical characteristics. Hydrothermal synthesis was performed by varying molar concentration, and the pitch was coated using THF as an organic solvent to prepare a composite material. The physical properties of anode materials were analyzed using SEM, EDS, XRD and TGA, and the electrochemical performances were investigated by cycle, C-rate, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance tests in 1.0 M LiPF6 electrolyte (EC : DMC : EMC = 1 : 1 : 1 vol%). The pitch-coated silicon/carbon composite (Pitch@Si/C-1.5) with sucrose of 1.5 M showed a spherical shape. In addition, a high initial capacity of 1756 mAh/g, a capacity retention ratio of 82% after 50 cycles, and an excellent rate characteristic of 81% at 2 C/0.1 C were confirmed.
