The invention belongs to the field of
lithium battery negative
electrode materials, and particularly relates to a composite
metal silicon carbon negative
electrode material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing a core layer of the
silicon-carbon negative
electrode material by adopting a CVD (
Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, and then preparing inner shell layer and outer shell layer carbon by adopting an MOCVD (
Metal Organic
Chemical Vapor Deposition) method to obtain the composite
metal silicon-carbon negative
electrode material with a core-inner shell-outer shell structure. The core layer is made of a silicon carbon material; the inner shell layer is a
carbon coating layer or a
metal film layer; and the shell layer is a
carbon coating layer or a metal film layer. According to the invention, the core layer silicon-carbon material of the silicon-carbon negative
electrode material is firstly prepared, and then the
carbon layer / metal layer or metal layer /
carbon layer can be deposited on the surface of the core layer at one time by using the MOCVD method, so that the process is simpler, the growth of the
coating layer is controllable, the uniformity is good, and the obtained silicon-carbon negative
electrode material is high in specific capacity and first efficiency and more stable in cycle performance; and the service life of the
lithium ion battery is prolonged.
