Problems solved by technology

JP2000-215887A was successful in forming a uniform carbon coating, but due to the absorption and desorption of lithium ions, the silicon-based anode material experienced abnormal expansion and contraction, and the result was not up to practical use requirements
At the same time, cycle performance decreases and charge / discharge capacity must be limited to prevent this decrease
In JP2002-42806A, the improvement in cycle performance is identifiable, but as the charge / discharge cycle is repeated, because of the precipitation of silicon crystallites, insufficient structure of the carbon coating, and insufficient fusion of the carbon coating with the underlying layer , so the capacity decreases gradually and suddenly after a certain number of cycles
Therefore, this negative electrode material is not yet sufficient for use in secondary batteries

Embodiment 1

[0060] To illustrate the structure of the conductive silicon composite of the present invention, refer to an exemplary conductive silicon composite made of silicon oxide (SiOx) as a raw material.

[0061] Silicon oxide (SiOx, x=1.02) was ground in a ball mill using hexane as a dispersion medium. The silicon oxide powder thus obtained was put into a rotary kiln-type reactor. In this reactor, the disproportionation of silicon oxide and thermal CVD were carried out simultaneously in a mixed flow of methane-argon gas at 1150°C and the average residence time was about 2 hour. The powder thus obtained was analyzed by solid-state NMR, x-ray diffractometry, TEM microphotography, and Raman spectroscopy (excitation light 532 nm), and the results are shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, respectively. From the solid state of silicon oxide as the raw material and conductive silicon composite as the final product 29 From the results of Si-NMR analysis, it can be seen that on the curve of a conductive silicon...

Embodiment 2

[0067]Using hexane as a dispersion medium, silicon oxide (SiOx, x=1.02) was ground in a ball mill. By filtering the suspension thus prepared in a nitrogen atmosphere and removing the solvent, a powder with an average particle size of about 0.8 μm is obtained. The silicon oxide powder is placed in a rotary furnace-type reactor, in which a methane-argon mixed gas stream is simultaneously subjected to disproportionation and thermal CVD of silicon oxide with an average residence time of approximately 2 hours at 1150°C. The product thus obtained had a carbon content of 16.5%, and the amount of active silicon or zero-valent silicon determined from the amount of hydrogen generated by the reaction with the potassium hydroxide aqueous solution was 26.7%. Analyzed by x-ray diffractometry (Cu-Kα), silicon crystals dispersed in silicon dioxide had a size of approximately 11 nm determined by the Scherrer method from the half-width of the Si(111) diffraction line at 2θ=28.4°. At the end of ther...

Embodiment 3

[0074] In an inert gas (argon) environment, heat block or flake silicon oxide at 1300°C for one hour to disproportionate into silicon and silicon dioxide. The analysis was performed by x-ray diffractometry (Cu-Kα), and the silicon crystals in the product had a size of approximately 55 nm determined by the Scherrer method from the half-width of the Si(111) diffraction line at 2θ=28.4°. The heat-treated silicon-silica composite was then ground in a ball mill using hexane as a dispersion medium. In a nitrogen environment, by filtering the suspension thus obtained and removing the solvent, a powder with an average particle size of approximately 0.8 μm is obtained. The silicon composite powder was placed in a vertical tube furnace (inner diameter ~ 50 mm), and in the furnace, thermal CVD was performed for 3 hours at 1100°C under a mixed gas flow of methane and argon. The conductive silicon composite powder thus obtained is pulverized in an automatic grinding body. The conductive silico...
