Problems solved by technology

Graphite is currently the most important negative electrode material in the market, but its specific capacity is low (only 372mAh / g), and its electrochemical performance is poor at high battery density, which limits the further improvement of the energy density of lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] The silicon-based negative electrode has the highest theoretical specific capacity, as high as 4200mAh / g, but it also has many problems: the silicon particles on the electrode are accompanied by volume expansion and shrinkage when deintercalating lithium. A series of problems such as poor conductivity and SEI film rupture lead to a rapid decline in battery capacity
This traditional method will bring many problems: due to the large volume change of silicon in the process of charging and discharging, it is easy to cause a significant difference in the expansion degree of silicon particles and graphite particles in the mixed electrode during the lithium intercalation process, which in turn leads to electrode rupture. , pulverization, and finally inactivation of active substances, resulting in poor cycle stability
At the same time, the traditional silicon-carbon hybrid electrode will form an SEI film to cover the surface of the silicon material when it is charged and discharged for the first time. The volume effect of the silicon material will cause repeated destruction and reconstruction of the SEI film, thereby increasing the consumption of lithium ions and ultimately affecting battery capacity

Background technique [0002] Since the advent of lithium-ion batteries in the 1990s, they have been widely used because of their high energy density, high operating voltage, high cycle times, and no memory effect. With the widespread use of various electronic products and electric vehicles, people have higher and higher requirements for battery life, and there is an urgent need to develop lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and long cycle life. Graphite is currently the most important negative electrode material in the market, but its specific capacity is low (only 372mAh / g), and its electrochemical performance is poor at high battery density, which limits the further improvement of the energy density of lithium-ion batteries.
