Pitch-based carbon/nano-silicon composites are proposed as a high performance and realistic electrode material of Li-ion battery anodes. Composites are prepared in a simple way by the pyrolysis under argon atmosphere of silicon nanoparticles, obtained by a laser pyrolysis technique, and a low cost carbon source: petroleum pitch.
Inspired by the possibilities of value-added of this raw material, we propose the facile preparation of silicon/carbon nanocomposites using carbon-coated silicon nanoparticles (<100 nm) and a petroleum pitch as anode materials for Li-ion batteries.

However, when silicon is used as a negative electrode material, silicon particles undergo significant volume expansion and contraction (approximately 300%) in the processes of lithiation and delithiation, respectively.
It is an effective way to construct silicon-carbon composite materials, which can enhance the conductivity of silicon based negative electrode materials, improve the dispersion of Si particle and then suppress its aggregation, and alleviate the volume change of electrode materials during the lithiantion and dilithination [ 26 ].
