The invention discloses a
germanium-
graphene composite cathode material for a
lithium ion battery and a preparation method of the
germanium-
graphene composite cathode material. The
composite cathode material is prepared from
germanium particles and
grapheme through compounding, wherein the nano germanium particles are uniformly distributed in a
grapheme sheet layer to form a
grapheme network cladded three-dimensional net structure. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) stirring and dispersing; (2) carrying out
microwave hydrothermal; and (3) washing,
drying and collecting. According to the germanium-
graphene composite
cathode material for the
lithium ion battery and the preparation method of the germanium-graphene composite
cathode material, germanium and
germanium dioxide are re-crystallized and grow on the graphene in situ, the
bonding strength of the germanium and the grapheme is higher than that of germanium-graphene
composite material obtained through mixing simply, the electrical
conductivity of the grapheme network is fully exerted, and the
volume effect of the germanium is effectively inhibited. The germanium-graphene composite
cathode material for the
lithium ion battery has the characteristics of high capacity,
high magnification and excellent
cycling stability, the preparation process adopts simple and effective
microwave hydrothermal reaction, the process is simple, the
energy consumption is low, the yield is high, no
pollution is caused, the germanium-graphene composite
cathode material can be promoted and applied conveniently and is suitable for large-scale production.
