Pure Si thin flakes (Si Leaf Powder (R)(Si-LP)) of different thicknesses (50, 100, 200, 300 and 400 nm) were prepared, and their charge/discharge properties were investigated as negative electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). High reversible capacity (2200-2500 mAh g(-1)) and good capacity retention were obtained for thinner Si-LPs (50-200 nm), while thicker samples (300 and 400 nm) exhibited rapid capacity fade upon cycling at C/6. For the thinner flakes, agglomeration and large cracks were confirmed on the composite electrodes, but no pulverization of the flakes was observed. These data suggested that Li atoms diffused easily within the thinner Si-LPs and the uniformity of Li distribution suppressed the localized physical stress that caused by alloying and de-alloying. In addition, the addition of vinylene carbonate (VC) in the electrolyte was found to be quite effective for improving not only the cycleability, but also the rate-capability. The best performance was obtained for Si-LP (100 nm), which exhibited a superior cycleability (ca. 2300 mAh g(-1) at C/6 after 50 cycles) and a high rate capability (ca. 1400 rnAh g(-1) at 12 C rate).
