摘要：Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin silicon nanosheets (Si NSs) were synthesized by DC arc discharge method and investigated as anode material for Li-ion batteries. The 2D ultrathin characteristics of Si NSs is confirmed by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average size of Si NSs is about 20 nm, with thickness less than 2.5 nm. The characteristic Raman peak of Si NSs is found to have an appreciable (20 nm) shift to low frequency, presumably due to the size effect. The synergistic effects of Ar+ and H+ lead to 2D growth of Si NSs under high temperature and energy. Electrochemical analyses reveal that Si NSs anode possesses stable cycling performance and fast diffusion of Li-ions with insertion/extraction processes. Such Si NSs might be a promising candidate for anode of Li-ion batteries.
