    • 目前, 硅/碳复合材料是锂离子电池最有潜在应用前景的高容量负极材料之一, 硅与碳材料的界面状态是影响其电化学性能的重要因素. 本文在作为碳材料结构单元的石墨烯表面构建了Si n( n≤ 6)团簇, 采用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的第一性原理方法研究了Si n团簇/石墨烯(Si n/Gr)的几何构型、结构稳定性和电子性质. 结果表明, 当Si原子数 n≤ 4时, Si n团簇优先以平行于石墨烯的二维构型沉积在石墨烯表面, 当 n≥ 5时, Si n团簇优先以三维立体构型沉积在石墨烯表面. 随着 n的增大, Si n团簇在石墨烯表面的热力学稳定性显著降低, 两者之间的界面结合减弱, 并且伴随着Si n团簇与石墨烯之间的电荷转移也越来越少. 同时还研究了Si n/Gr复合构型的储锂能力, Li原子主要存储在Si n团簇临近的石墨烯表面和Si n团簇周围, Si n团簇与石墨烯复合形成的协同作用增强了Li原子吸附的热力学稳定性. 当 n≤ 4时, 存储2个Li原子有利于提高 xLi-Si n/Gr体系的热力学稳定性, 继续增加Li原子数 x会导致稳定性降低; 当 n≥ 5时, 稳定性随着Li原子数 x的增多而逐渐降低.

      Silicon/carbon composite is one of the most potential high-capacity anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The interface state between silicon and carbon of silicon/carbon composite is an important factor affecting its electrochemical performance. In this paper, Si n( n≤ 6) clusters with different numbers of Si atoms are constructed on graphene as a structural unit of carbon material. The geometric configuration, structure stability and electronic property of Si nclusters adsorbed on graphene (Si n/Gr) are studied by the first-principles method based on density functional theory (DFT). The results show that when the number of Si atoms n≤ 4, the Si nclusters are preferentially adsorbed on graphene in a two-dimensional configuration parallel to graphene. When n≥ 5, the Si nclusters are preferentially adsorbed on graphene in a three-dimensional configuration. With the increase of the number of Si atoms n, the thermodynamic stability of Si nclusters on graphene decreases significantly, the interface binding strength between Si nclusters and graphene decreases, and the charge transfer between Si nclusters and graphene becomes less. At the same time, the storage capacity of Li atoms in Si n/Gr complex is also studied. Li atoms are mainly stored on the graphene surface near Si nclusters and around Si nclusters. The complex synergistic effect of Si nclusters and graphene enhances the thermodynamic stability of Li adsorption. When n≤ 4, storing two Li atoms is beneficial to improving the thermodynamic stability of xLi-Si n/Gr system, and the thermodynamic stability decreases with the increase of Li atom number. When n≥ 5, the thermodynamic stability of xLi-Si n/Gr system decreases with the increase of Li atom number. In the xLi-Si 5/Gr system, the C-C bond and Si-Si bond are mainly covalent bonds, while the Li-C bond and Li-Si bond are mainly ionic bonds with certain covalent properties.
