Waterborne polyurethane as a carbon coating for micrometre-sized silicon-based lithium-ion battery anode material

Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) is first used as a carbon-coating source for micrometre-sized silicon. The remaining nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) heteroatoms during pyrolysis of the WPU interact with the surface oxide on the silicon (Si) particles via hydrogen bonding (Si–OH⋯N and Si–OH⋯O). The N and O...
