Problems solved by technology

However, pure silicon materials have very significant volume expansion (>300%) during the process of high lithium intercalation, the electrode materials will gradually pulverize, the alloy structure is destroyed, and the separation between silicon particles and the conductive network occurs, causing serious morphological changes in the material. , the internal resistance of the electrode increases, the capacity decreases, and the cycle performance deteriorates, which limits the large-scale practical application of silicon-based materials.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a Si / C composite cathode material of a lithium ion battery. The method is characterized in that through a liquid phase solidification-high temperature pyrolysis-low temperature treatment combined method, the Si / C composite cathode material having good cycling stability and good rate capability is prepared. Concretely, the method comprises the following steps of uniformly dispersing a silicon source (before or after etching) and graphite in an appropriate solvent in the presence of a second-type additive with control of a temperature to obtain a solid precursor after the solvent is volatilized completely, transferring the solid precursor into a protective atmosphere, carrying out pyrolysis at a high temperature so that the carbon source is pyrolyzed into amorphous carbon and forms a coating layer, carrying out furnace cooling to obtain the Si / C composite cathode material, uniformly mixing the Si / C composite cathode material, a conductive agent and a binder, coating the mixture on a pole piece, carrying out drying, carrying out low-temperature treatment, and carrying out an electrochemical performance test. The method is simple and feasible and has a high practical degree. The Si / C composite cathode material prepared by the method has a high capacity and good cycling stability and a good rate capability after the low-temperature treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery materials and preparation methods thereof, and relates to a lithium-ion battery silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in various portable electronic devices and electric vehicles due to their inherent advantages, such as portability, high capacity, and small size. At present, commercial lithium-ion secondary batteries generally use various carbon materials as negative electrodes, mainly graphitized carbon and amorphous carbon, such as natural graphite, modified graphite, graphitized mesocarbon microspheres, soft carbon (such as coke) and some hard carbon etc. However, such materials have low specific capacity (such as graphite theoretical capacity 372mAh g -1 ), prone to organic solvent co-intercalation and other shortcomings, and cannot meet the needs of high energy density bat...
