Problems solved by technology

[0005] like figure 1 As shown, if the nano-sized hollow silicon material is mixed according to the same method, it will be suspended in the upper layer of the solution due to the low density of silicon in the nano-hollow structure, and there will be no uniform contact between silicon and carbon, and stratification will occur; In addition, most of the binder will preferentially adsorb on the hollow silicon surface and occupy the hollow structure
In addition, the delamination of hollow silicon, conductive agent, and graphite leads to poor conductivity between the coated electrode active materials after mixing, which is manifested as rapid battery capacity decay; During the charge and discharge process, it will hinder the penetration of the electrolyte, resulting in a decrease in the utilization of active materials, which is manifested as a decrease in battery capacity

Embodiment 1

[0068] Example 1: Preparation of nanoscale water-in-silicon particles

[0069] Using the method in CN105705460A, 20 g of nanoscale hollow silicon for electrodes was prepared.

[0070] Weigh 4g of nanoscale hollow silicon and place it in a vertical centrifugal disperser, and then add 40ml of deionized water. A two-stage stirring process is set up. The first stage: the stirring speed is 300r / min, which lasts for 5 minutes; the second stage: the stirring speed is 2000r / min, which lasts for 35 minutes. Thus, the nano hollow silicon and water are thoroughly mixed to obtain a solution of water-in-silicon particles.

[0071] Take half of the volume of the water-in-silicon particle solution for suction filtration, and air-dry the solid obtained by suction filtration in a fume hood at room temperature for 2 hours to obtain nanoscale water-in-silicon particles.

[0074] 1) Add 0.8 g of water-based binder to the other half of the water-in-silicon particle solution that has not been suction-filtered prepared in Example 1 above, set the stirring speed to 2000 r / min, and continue stirring for 0.5 h. Then, add 0.4g of conductive agent and 16.8g of graphite in sequence, and set up a three-stage stirring process, the first stage: stirring speed 300r / min, last 10min; second stage: stirring speed 600r / min, last 10min ; The third section: stirring speed 3000r / min, duration 3h. After thorough mixing, an electrode slurry is prepared.

[0075] 2) The electrode slurry is coated on the current collector, and then dried at 100° C. for 12 hours to obtain an electrode for an electrochemical energy storage device, and the thickness of the electrode after drying is 75 μm.
