Abstract
Polysiloxane@phenolic resin (Polysiloxane@RF) precursor is firstly synthesized by sol-gel method using resorcinol, formaldehyde and triethoxyethylsilanes as starting materials, and then pyrolyzed at a desired temperature for desired time. The as-prepared SiOx@C samples are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis (EA), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), respectively. The synthesized SiOx@C composites consist of nanorods and nanospheres. The electrochemical measurement shows that the composition, microstructure and lithium storage properties of the synthesized SiOx@C nanocomposites are closely related with pyrolyzing temperature. Among them, the SiOx@C nanocomposite synthesized at 1000 oC for 3 h delivers the best comprehensive electrochemical performance.

Keywords
