Carbon-coated Si has been prepared by a thermal vapor decomposition method. Its electrochemical performance has been investigated by charge/discharge tests, cyclic voltammetric experiments, differential scanning calorimetry, and -nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. This kind of material demonstrates good electrochemical performance as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The improvement in the electrochemical performance of Si is mainly attributed to the effect of carbon coating. © 2002 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
