Problems solved by technology

However, the simple wet chemical synthesis technology cannot effectively inhibit the agglomeration of nano-silicon particles, and it is difficult to achieve uniform distribution and effective contact between the components of silicon and carbon, and it is also impossible to avoid electrode crack damage and capacity fading during previous cycles.
The main reason is that the nano-silicon is not uniformly distributed during the preparation process, so that the silicon is not sufficiently constrained by the carbon material in the nano-space, which limits the practical application of high-performance silicon-carbon composite materials in lithium-ion batteries.
[0005] At present, in the prior art, simple chemical oxidants are used to modify silicon materials and carbon materials, and then recombine them, and the effect is not good.

Abstract

The invention provides a silicon-carbon composite material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing an ultraviolet-ozone modified or oxidant modified silicon material with an ultraviolet-ozone modified carbon material to obtain the silicon-carbon composite material. Furthermore, the carbon material and the silicon material are in tight and effective contact with each other and are uniformly distributed in a staggered manner. The method has the advantages that the cost is low, the efficiency is high, the process is simple, and the large-scale industrial production can be realized. The two materials in the silicon-carbon composite material are interlaced with each other and have a uniform interlaced structure; the silicon-carbon composite material not only has high specific capacity and high electrochemical activity of a silicon material, but also has the dual advantages of high strength and excellent conductivity of a carbon material. The damage effect of the internal stress of the electrode caused by large volume change of silicon in the battery circulation process can be effectively relieved, and therefore the cycle life of the lithium ion battery electrode is prolonged.

Background technique [0002] At present, the composite material obtained by combining silicon material with high theoretical capacity and conductive carbon material has become the material of choice for high energy density lithium ion battery electrodes. However, due to the complex preparation process and high cost of silicon-carbon composite materials, especially for silicon-carbon composite materials with higher silicon content (≥20%), it is difficult to solve the problem of excessive volume change (300%-400% ), leading to the cracking of lithium-ion battery electrodes, hindering the practical application of silicon-carbon composites. Therefore, the preparation technology of silicon-carbon composite electrode materials has technical problems such as unfriendly e...
