Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lithium-ion batteries, and relates to a silicon-based negative electrode material, its preparation method and application, in particular to a silicon-based negative electrode material, its preparation method and its application in lithium-ion batteries. Background technique [0002] With the development of lithium-ion batteries to large-scale applications, performance indicators such as energy density and power density of lithium-ion batteries need to be further improved. In terms of negative electrode materials, the traditional graphite carbon negative electrode materials have limited specific capacity (372mAh / g), which has been difficult to meet the needs of high energy density batteries, and negative electrode materials with high specific capacity have become the focus of current research. Silicon-based materials have attracted much attention because of their theoretical specific capacity up to 4200mAh / g. Howev...

Problems solved by technology

The key point of the technology is to coat the conductive polymer (polythiophene, polyaniline, polypyrrole) on the silicon-based material by in-situ polymerization, and add sodium alginate to enhance the stability, and build a three-dimensional network structure to buffer the expansion of the silicon material. The conductivity of the conductive polymer coated by the method is low, and the conductivity is unstable, and it is easy to dedope and lose conductivity, resulting in a decrease in the cycle performance of the material, and the in-situ polymerization preparation process used is complicated.
