The invention relates to a
porous carbon coated
ferrous silicate lithium anode material and a preparation method thereof.
Polyethylene glycol is adopted as a pore forming agent, gel is formed by the hydrolytic condensation of tetraethoxysilane, and the
polyethylene glycol is pyrolyzed to form continuous frames and penetrated
macropore / mesoporous port channels in the calcining process of a precursor, wherein the average pore size of the
macropore is within 0.5 to 3.9mu m, the average pore size of the mesopore is within 18 to 40nm, and the average
porosity is within 57.2 to 71.9 percent. A three-dimensional
network structure is formed by the hydrolytic condensation of the tetraethoxysilane, thereby reducing the migration distance in the
crystal lattice recombination process and the
activation energy required by migration, being beneficial to reducing the
reaction temperature and shortening the reaction time and producing the product which has high
phase purity and accords with the stoichiometric ratio. The porous structure increases the specific surface area of the material, not only is beneficial to the infiltration of
electrolyte in particles, improves the deintercalation probability of
lithium ions inside crystals and the utilization ratio of the
lithium ions, but also prevents the
crystal grains from growing in the calcining process and aggregating in the charging and discharging process and improves the electrochemical property of the
anode material.
