The role of the morphology in the response of Sb-C nanocomposite electrodes in lithium cells

This work reports an electrochemical study of antimony-carbon composites. The study has been carried out by testing in lithium cells two samples of Sb-C electrodes, differing by the relative composition and by the dimensions of the antimony particles. The results Show that the particle size has Crucial role in influencing the cycling response of the Li-Sb cells in terms of the extent and the maintenance of the capacity delivery.
