AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, the theoretical capacity of the most widely used graphite anode material is 372mAh / g, and the measured capacity of high-end graphite materials has reached 365mAh / g, and there is no further breakthrough. Therefore, silicon materials are gradually favored by people

However, the volume expansion of silicon materials reaches 300% when fully intercalating lithium, which will cause a series of problems, which greatly limits its application in the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries.

In order to overcome this problem, the current mainstream ideas are divided into silicon oxide and silicon carbon composite. Among them, the silicon oxide method is due to the high cost of preparing silicon oxide, and the irreversible reaction with silicon oxide is inevitable when the material is inserted into lithium for the first time. , making it difficult to improve its efficiency in the first week

[0004] For silicon-carbon composite materials, the current mainstream consideration is the core / shell structure (CN102122708A). However, there are too many micropores inside this structure. Although the porous structure is beneficial to the circulation of silicon materials, it may cause material damage in practical applications. No pressure resistance, low compaction density, reducing the volumetric energy density of the battery

In addition, more organic solvents (CN102394288B, CN103367727B, CN102769139B) are used in current reports, which greatly increases the cost of the entire preparation process and has certain potential safety hazards
