They are widely used in various electronic devices, electric vehicles, and portable energy storage devices. As a new negative electrode material for lithium-ion secondary batteries, silicon oxide has a higher specific capacity (2000mAh / g) than graphite. However, during the charge and discharge process, its service life is seriously affected by poor conductivity, large volume expansion, and easy pulverization and shedding. In particular, during the initial charge and discharge process of silicon oxide materials, lithium ions react with silicon oxide to form Li2O and Li2SiO4, consuming a large amount of active lithium and resulting in a low coulombic efficiency (<70%) in the first cycle of the battery.

[0047] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0048] (1) The present invention first forms a large number of micropores or irregular micro-pits on the surface of SiO particles and / or between SiO particles, and then coats the surface with Zn / Fe-MOF. During the high-temperature pyrolysis process, a large amount of Zn evaporates, and Fe atoms are evenly distributed on the porous carbon skeleton formed by MOF carbonization. Carbon nanotubes are then prepared using Fe as a catalyst, and finally, acid etching is performed to remove Fe and a small amount of Zn. This not only enhances the bonding force between the SiO particles and the porous carbon framework, but also enables the in-situ generation of carbon nanotubes on the porous carbon surface, forming a firmly bonded whole. The porous carbon framework can effectively suppress the volume change of SiO during charge and discharge, thereby increasing the stability of the negative electrode SEI film.

Each coating layer makes the particles more uniform and the structure more stable. The flexibility of carbon nanotubes and the high hardness of titanium nitride relieve the mechanical stress in the alloying process when subjected to the external force generated by the volume expansion of silicon dioxide due to lithium insertion and extraction, and can maintain the structural integrity of the composite material, and maintain good electrical contact of the active particles and the stability of the surface film during repeated cycles.

[0050] (3) The porous structure of porous carbon and the conductivity of carbon nanotubes also shorten the path of lithium ions embedded in SiO, significantly increasing the ion exchange rate of the composite negative electrode material and improving the fast charging performance of lithium-ion batteries.
