Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, silicon has a volume expansion of up to 400% when intercalating lithium, and the brittle SEI film is easily broken, causing silicon to be directly exposed to the electrolyte.
During the charge-discharge cycle, with the intercalation and extraction of lithium ions, the newly exposed silicon surface contacts and reacts with the electrolyte solution, which continuously causes the consumption of active lithium ions and electrolyte solution, which is manifested by low coulombic efficiency of the battery. and decreasing capacity
