Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silicon powder, in particular to a composite silicon powder embedded with aluminum-rich nanoparticles and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] The traditional lithium battery negative electrode material is mainly graphite. However, the specific capacity of graphite is small, which makes it difficult for traditional lithium batteries to meet the requirements of large capacity and low weight lithium batteries for electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices. Silicon is a new lithium battery anode material and one of the most promising lithium battery anode materials. However, due to the poor conductivity of composite silicon powder, the volume expansion during lithiation is serious, resulting in pulverization and poor cycle life, which limits its application in lithium battery anode materials. [0003] In order to improve the performance of composite silicon powder in li...
