The invention provides a graded porous hard carbon-
silicon composite negative
electrode material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
new energy battery electrode materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing
pitch-based soft carbon and
potassium hydroxide, performing ball milling, performing heating activation in a
nitrogen atmosphere, performing cooling, performing washing with
hydrochloric acid until the mixture is neutral, and performing
vacuum drying to obtain a product A; dispersing the product A in absolute ethyl
alcohol, adding polyether
diamine and a
silane coupling agent (KH560), dropwise adding a
triethylamine solution, heating, stirring, performing
reflux reaction, and centrifuging and collecting a product B after the reaction is completed; heating and curing the product B in vacuum to obtain a product C; dispersing the product C in water, adding
phenol, carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion, adjusting the pH value to 8.5-9, then dropwise adding a
formaldehyde solution, carrying out a stirring reaction, and after the reaction is finished, carrying out
centrifugation and
drying to obtain a product D; and carbonizing the product D under the protection of
argon to obtain the graded porous hard carbon-
silicon composite negative
electrode material. According to the graded porous hard carbon-
silicon composite negative
electrode material, soft carbon and hard carbon are utilized to construct a graded porous structure.
