Abstract

Low-energy density limits the development of energy storage in capacitors. The high theoretical capacity and good thermal stability of Li2MnSiO4 help to solve this problem, but its drawbacks of poor electrical conductivity and cycling stability cannot be ignored. Novel structural designs are an effective way to improve the capacity performance and cycling stability of electrode materials. Herein, this study explores the in situ synthesis of Si-Li2MnSiO4 composite from montmorillonite using magnesium heat/hydrothermal method for battery-type capacitors. Li2MnSiO4 is the Pmn21 phase in the synthesized layered graded Si-Li2MnSiO4 (named AMMLMg200), in which Si is mainly compounded with Li2MnSiO4 in the amorphous form. The specific capacitance of the material reaches 381.5 C·g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A·g−1. The presence of the Si layer greatly increases the capacity performance, and the large specific surface area of montmorillonite increases the electrochemical reaction rate. This work proves that AMMLMg200 could be a prospective electrode material for high-performance battery-type capacitor applications.
