Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, in particular to a silicon-carbon negative electrode material, a preparation method, and a lithium-ion battery. Background technique [0002] At present, the negative electrode material of lithium ion battery is mainly graphite material, but the specific capacity of graphite material is already close to its theoretical limit capacity (372mAh / g), and the theoretical limit capacity of graphite material is still small. Therefore, in order to increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, further development of novel anode materials is required. The theoretical specific capacity of the silicon negative electrode material is 10 times that of the graphite material, but because the volume expansion of the silicon negative electrode material is serious after lithium intercalation, specifically, the volume expansion reaches 300%, which seriously affects the cycle performance and servi...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the inventors found that the above-mentioned silicon-based negative electrode materials still need to be improved in terms of improving the serious volume expansion and poor cycle performance.

Specifically, the above-mentioned silicon-based negative electrode material is a primary molding particle. If the particle size is large, the lithium ion transmission path will be lengthened, and the expansion stress of lithium intercalation will increase, making the negative electrode material easy to break and lose its activity.
