The application provides a
silicon-carbon negative
electrode material and a preparation method thereof, a negative
electrode sheet and a battery. The
silicon-carbon negative
electrode material comprises a core and a
carbon coating layer coated on the core; the core comprises a
porous carbon framework and
silicon particles, and the silicon particles are arranged in the pores of the
porous carbon framework; there is a gap between the silicon particles and the surface of the pores of the
porous carbon framework; in the core, the volume of the gap is V1, the volume of the silicon particles is V2, and V1 / V2 is 0.04-0.9. The silicon-carbon negative
electrode material provided by the application has a buffer cavity reserved between the silicon particles and the pores of the porous carbon framework for silicon expansion, and can realize a silicon-carbon negative
electrode material with low expansion and excellent
electrical performance.
