Abstract

A novel Si-MWNT nanocomposite synthesized via a CVD process shows a high reversible capacity of over 1500 mAh g⁻¹ and stable cycling performance, which can be ascribed to the maintenance of a good conductive network by means of the direct scattered growth and pinning of MWNTs on Si particles.
