Problems solved by technology

However, there are two fatal shortcomings in silicon-based negative electrode materials: one is that silicon crystals have a crystal structure similar to diamond, which will produce a huge volume change (>300%) during the process of lithium intercalation-delithiation, which will lead to electrode materials During the cycle process, the active material is gradually pulverized, and the active material is separated from the current collector, resulting in a decrease in cycle performance; second, because silicon is a semiconductor, coupled with the phase transition during the charge and discharge process, the irreversible capacity is large, and the charge and discharge efficiency is low.
The system expansion effect of the silicon-metal system is not alleviated obviously, and the capacity retention rate is poor

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to lithium-ion battery technology, in particular to a method for preparing a silicon-carbon-based composite material for a negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery. Background technique [0002] Compared with other secondary batteries, lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, and high working voltage. This makes it widely used in people's lives, and has become an ideal power source for various portable electronic devices. The performance of a lithium-ion battery is mainly determined by its internal electrode materials. Carbon materials are currently commercialized lithium-ion battery anode materials because they have the advantages of stable discharge platform, good charge and discharge reversibility, and low cost. However, carbon anode materials such as graphite also have low theoretical specific capacity (372mAh / g), poor safety performance and large irreversible capacity for the fi...
