In the process of synthesizing silicon-magnesium alloy powder, because a large amount of magnesium powder is used, the production process must have strict environmental control measures such as helium protection to reduce the risk of explosion of magnesium dust; , the temperature of the bismuth melt needs to be above 450°C, that is, the temperature is about 150°C higher than the ignition point of magnesium (300°C). Magnesium at such a temperature is very easy to ignite, burn, and oxidize, causing high-temperature spontaneous combustion and overburning of the processed powder, thereby bringing Due to the rapid growth of silicon particles and the oxidation of silicon, it is very difficult to control the process of industrially producing porous nano-silicon powder with this method, especially difficult to control the particle size of nano-silicon powder; the prior art also discloses a method using metal chloride molten salt The medium is kept warm for a long time (10h~15h) to decompose silicon-magnesium alloy powder, and then pickled with hydrochloric acid to obtain porous silicon. This method eliminates the risk of magnesium ignition and combustion in industrial production, but the process requires long-term heat preservation, and there is a powder preparation efficiency. low problem

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing foamed silicon powder by using zinc-bismuth alloy to coat silicon magnesium particles. The method comprises the following steps: preparing silicon magnesium alloy powder; coating the surface of the silicon magnesium alloy powder with a zinc bismuth alloy layer; conducting solid-phase diffusion heat treatment on the silicon-magnesium alloy powder coated with the zinc bismuth alloy layer to promote zinc and bismuth metals in the coating layer to react with magnesium silicon correspondingly; conducting oxidation treatment on the silicon magnesium alloy powder subjected to the solid-phase diffusion heat treatment; conducting acid pickling on the silicon magnesium alloy powder subjected to the oxidation treatment to remove the zinc, the bismuth andmagnesium. By adopting the zinc bismuth alloy not easily oxidized and having a melting point lower than the ignition point of the magnesium to coat the silicon magnesium alloy particles, solid phasediffusion treatment and a low-oxygen oxidation treatment process at a certain temperature are used to obtain the foamed silica powder with a micropore structure. Efficiency of preparation is improvedand primary particle size of the foamed silicon powder is smaller.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing foamy silicon powder, in particular to a method for preparing foamy silicon powder by coating silicon-magnesium particles with a zinc-bismuth alloy, and also to a foamy silicon powder prepared by the method. Background technique [0002] Since silicon has a theoretical specific capacity (4200mAh / g) more than ten times higher than that of graphite anode, the use of silicon to replace the commonly used graphite anode has become the goal of high energy density power battery research. As a negative electrode, silicon has the disadvantages of large volume expansion, silicon particle breakage, pulverization, low coulombic efficiency for the first charge and discharge, and high impedance; in response to the above shortcomings, a series of improvement methods have been proven effective, such as the use of nanoscale silicon particles It can reduce the breakage of bulk silicon, the use of porous silicon particles c...
