The invention discloses an in-situ nano Fe3O4@C composite porous
lithium ion battery
anode material and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the technical field of production of
lithium ion battery electrode materials. On the basis of polyhydroxy structure features of citrate, the in-situ Fe3O4@C composite porous
lithium ion battery
anode material with Fe3O4 obtained through
carbonization dispersed and distributed in a
porous carbon framework is designed on the molecular scale with
ferric citrate chelate as a precursor. The
ferric citrate precursor is prepared with a complexing
precipitation method and carbonized in the
inert atmosphere, Fe<3+> produces Fe3O4 at in-situ sites, C6H5O7<3-> decomposes to form the carbon framework, the porous structure benefits from overflow of other
decomposition products, the preparation condition is mild, the synthesis process is simple and controllable, and the cost is low. The synthesized
electrode material can realize in-situ nano
crystallization and dispersion distribution of Fe3O4, external carbon sources are not required, meanwhile, by the aid of the porous structure of carbon, the
electron migration rate is increased, contact of an
electrolyte and the
electrode material is enhanced, the lithium storage performance of the
electrode material is improved, the synergistic effect of Fe3O4 and the
porous carbon structure is realized, andthe problems of significant capacity
fading, poor cycle stability and the like caused by the Fe3O4
volume effect are solved effectively, so that the Fe3O4@C
composite material has good electrochemical performance.
