Si-based electrodes are being designed for use in Lithium-ion batteries with an aim at attaining large energy density and long and stable cycle life. In view of its high theoretical capacity (4200mAhg−1), Si has huge potential as anode material. In this study, we report improvement in the cycling performance of the cell designed with electrode having Si-nanopowder contained in the TiO2 nanotube array, which is not a composite material. Si-nanopowder is incorporated on the nanotube arrays by three different protocols. The Si-nanopowder electrode prepared by using the facile brushing method, proposed in this study, followed by the surface coating with binder exhibited high cycling behavior. Especially, the cell made with the anode material fabricated by brushing of Si-nanopowder into the TiO2 nanotube array, having diameter of 150nm, yield high capacity retention of 1824.9mAhg−1 up to 300 cycles in the lithiation process at 0.1 C-rate.
