Benefits of technology

This patented technology describes making materials that are more stable than previously used due to their ability to absorb large amounts of Li during charging or discharges without losing its effectiveness over time. These composites include both active ingredients (Si), such as silane monomers, and graphene oxide flakes dispersed throughout another matrix made from polymer resin). They improve upon existing methods by providing better control over charge transfer processes through specific chemical reactions.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes different ways how lithiated carbons can be modified into suitable cathodes that improve battery properties like higher capacities or longer lifetimes compared to current methods involving expensive raw materials. Silane compounds were developed specifically for use in modifying these types of chemicals called organosilanes, but they also cause damage to certain components within cells when charged up. To address this problem, there was proposed a method where silica particles could replace some of them while maintaining good conductivity.

Abstract

The invention relates to a core-shell silicon carbon composite negative electrode material for a high-capacity type lithium ion battery and a preparation method therefor. The composite material is prepared from silicon nanoparticles and a low-crystallinity carbon material, wherein the silicon nanoparticles are taken as the core, and are coated with a low-crystallinity carbon layer formed by an organic carbon source to form a tightly-combined core-shell coating structure. According to the core-shell silicon carbon composite negative electrode material, the agglomeration among the silicon nanoparticles is effectively avoided; single silicon particles can be coated with amorphous carbon, and then the coated single silicon particles are subjected to high temperature carbonization, so that the degree of order of the carbon shell layer can be improved; the silicon volume expansion can be effectively retrained, the conductivity of the material can be improved, and the cycling performance and the rate capability of the material are further improved.
