Problems solved by technology

However, the researchers found that the silicon-based negative electrode material will undergo a serious volume change (volume expansion of more than 300%) during the process of lithium intercalation and deintercalation. Due to the volume change, problems such as electrode powdering and peeling will lead to a sharp decline in performance and poor cycle performance.
At the same time, the first coulombic efficiency of silicon-based negative electrode materials is also low, and the intrinsic conductivity of silicon is low, so the formed SEM is unstable and easy to fall off.
These disadvantages limit its practical application in Li-ion batteries
In addition, the preparation process for preparing high-performance silicon-based anode materials is relatively complicated and the preparation cost is also high.
