Problems solved by technology

Both of these methods are not suitable for mass production and are costly
[0004] When lithium-silicon alloy is used as the negative electrode, the volume expands / shrinks severely during the charging and discharging process, which eventually leads to poor conductivity between the active materials and the end of life.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing lithium-silicon alloy cathodes. The method includes mixing analytically pure silicon powder and lithium powder with each other according to a molar ratio of (8-5):(2-5) to obtain mixtures; carrying out ball-milling on the mixtures in inert atmosphere environments for 4 hours to obtain sandy substances; filling foamed nickel with the sandy substances according to certain filling density; compressing tablets; heating the tablets until the temperatures of the tablets reach 160-170 DEG C and keeping the temperatures of the tablets unchanged for 1 hour; cooling the tablets until the temperatures of the tablets reach the room temperature and taking out the tablets to obtain the lithium-silicon alloy cathodes. The method has the advantages that the lithium-silicon alloy cathodes are low in polarization, high in capacity and long in cycle life; processes for manufacturing the lithium-silicon alloy cathodes are simple and are easy to implement and control and low in energy consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a preparation method of a lithium-silicon alloy negative electrode, and belongs to the technical field of chemical power source energy storage. Background technique [0002] The rechargeable lithium-manganese battery is an important memory power source. Its positive electrode uses 3V lithium manganese oxide, and its negative electrode usually uses lithium-aluminum alloy negative electrode. The lithium-silicon alloy negative electrode has a capacity per unit volume that is significantly better than that of lithium-aluminum alloys. [0003] At present, there are two main methods for preparing lithium-silicon alloys: one is to prepare by pressurizing, mixing lithium powder and silicon powder in a certain proportion, and keeping the pressure at 0.1MPa for a certain period of time; the other is to prepare lithium The powder and silicon powder are evenly mixed and then placed in a closed container and sintered at high temperature.
