The as-quenched ribbons consist of nano-grains and metallic glass. The electrochemical measurements reveal that an activation behavior is exhibited in the anodes. The specific capacity of the A173Si25Cr2 anodes can reach a maximum of 1119 mA.h/g and maintain at 586 mA·hg after 30 cycles. A more stable cycle performance is shown and a capacity loss is only 24% over 30 cycles for Al71Si25Cr4. The intermetallic compounds with Li cannot be detected in the lithiated anodes. After the ribbons were annealed, the specific capacities become much lower due to the formation of inert Al13SiaCr4, and an A1Li phase can be tested in the lithiated anodes. The Cr dissolved in the non-equilibrium alloys causes low lithiation activity and strong structure stability, which could be the main reason of the activation and a restriction of structure evolution.展开更多
