Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a micro-silicon composite material and its preparation method and application. [0002] technical background [0003] As the anode material of a new generation of lithium-ion batteries, silicon has abundant reserves and the highest specific capacity among all alloyed lithium storage elements, so it has great potential to replace graphite as a commercial anode material. However, silicon has a 300% expansion defect when intercalating lithium. Seriously affected the cycle performance in actual use. [0004] At present, most technical solutions use nanotechnology to solve the problem of silicon expansion and cracking, including the use of nano-silicon as the active material to construct electrode materials and nano-design of carbon structures. For example, patent CN111816852A discloses a silicon-based composite negative electrode material. The conductive nano-silicon-ba...
