This paper reports an electrochemically highly reversible Si-Ni alloy based electrode through the microstructure and composition analysis using XRD and HR-TEM combined with EDS. Nano-Si (~200 nm) embedded in the inactive NiSi2/NiSi matrix synthesized using industrial-scale rapid solidification process (RSP). In addition, comprehensive analysis of HR-TEM images, dQ/dV and OCV plots provides powerful insights into the cycle life degradation of Si-alloys caused by the material state change upon cycling.

Keywords:Li-ion battery;Anode;Silicon-based alloy;Melt-spinning;Phase diagram
