This invention relates to an
anode material, its preparation method, and its application. The
anode material comprises carbon nanotubes and a
silicon layer
coating the carbon nanotubes. The
anode material of this invention can reduce the resistance of the anode sheet, improve rate performance, and further alleviate the
volume expansion problem. Furthermore, by combining single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, the anode material possesses a richer microporous and mesoporous structure, which can further provide a buffer gap for
silicon expansion. Moreover, by configuring the carbon nanotubes to include both single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, a highly efficient conductive network can be achieved, resulting in
high conductivity and further improving the rate performance of the anode sheet.
