Problems solved by technology

The silicon particle size (generally greater than 100nm) selected by the method is much larger than the nano-silicon particle (generally less than 50nm) generated by the disproportionation reaction in the silicon-oxygen compound, so the volume expansion / shrinkage effect of the silicon particle during battery charging and discharging is obvious; in addition , the dispersion of silicon particles in the method is not as good as that of nano-silicon produced by the disproportionation reaction in silicon-oxygen compounds. The uneven dispersion of silicon particles will also lead to uneven distribution of internal stress in the material during charging and discharging of the battery, thereby causing the material particles to break Furthermore, the interfacial stability of silicon particles and lithium silicate in the material is not as good as the silicon simple substance / lithium silicate complex generated after disproportionation and pre-lithiation reactions in silicon-oxygen compounds, and it is more likely to cause material damage during battery charging and discharging. Particle break
In summary, the cycle stability of the silicon-based composite material is difficult to be guaranteed
[0007] Therefore, the existing silicon-based negative electrode materials have problems such as low capacity, low coulombic efficiency, poor cycle stability, complicated and dangerous preparation process, and incompatibility with the commonly used aqueous homogenate system, making it difficult to realize commercial application in lithium-ion batteries. , is a technical problem in the field

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a silicon-based composite material and its preparation method and application, belonging to the technical field of battery materials. Background technique [0002] Due to the rapid development and wide application of various portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems in recent years, the demand for lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and long cycle life has become increasingly urgent. At present, the negative electrode material of commercial lithium-ion batteries is mainly graphite, but due to the low theoretical capacity (372mAh / g), the further improvement of the energy density of lithium-ion batteries is limited. Since the silicon anode material has the advantage of high capacity that other anode materials cannot match, it has become a research and development hotspot in recent years, and has gradually moved from laboratory research to commercial application. There are two main type...
