- Abstract
Silicon oxycarbides (SiOC) are regarded as potential anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries, although inferior cycling stability and rate performance greatly limit their practical applications. Herein, amorphous SiOC is synthesized from Chlorella by means of a biotemplate method based on supercritical fluid technology. On this basis, tin particles with sizes of several nanometers are introduced into the SiOC matrix through the biosorption feature of Chlorella. As lithium‐ion battery anodes, SiOC and Sn@SiOC can deliver reversible capacities of 440 and 502 mAh g−1 after 300 cycles at 100 mA g−1 with great cycling stability. Furthermore, as‐synthesized Sn@SiOC presents an excellent high‐rate cycling capability, which exhibits a reversible capacity of 209 mAh g−1 after 800 cycles at 5000 mA g−1; this is 1.6 times higher than that of SiOC. Such a novel approach has significance for the preparation of high‐performance SiOC‐based anodes.
