Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing silicon by molten salt electrolysis. According to the method, carbon, silicon or metal is used as a cathode, a carbon anode or inert anode is utilized to carry out electrolysis in a molten salt system. The invention is characterized in that silicon dioxide can be directly dissolved in the molten salt system, thereby being convenient for continuous electrolysis of silicon. The product of electrolysis can be a simple substance silicon or a silicon composite material. The silicon or silicon composite material obtained by electrolysis can be used as a negative pole material of a battery, and can also be used in the fields of electronics, semiconductors and the like. Besides, the method can also be used for removing impurity silicon in aluminum electrolysis.
