Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery materials, and in particular to a negative electrode material for circular batteries and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, the demand for high-performance lithium batteries is growing. In the construction of lithium batteries, the negative electrode material plays a crucial role, as it directly affects performance indicators such as energy density, cycle life, safety, and cost. For applications specifically designed for miniaturization and high energy density (such as smartwatches, medical implants, and other wearable technologies), spherical batteries are widely used due to their compact structure and ease of integration.

[0003] Traditional lithium-ion battery anodes primarily use graphite materials, with a theoretical specific capacity of 372 mAh / g. However, with the market's pursuit of higher energy density, researchers have begun exploring alternative materials with higher theoretical specific capacities, such as silicon (Si)-based materials. Silicon, as an anode material, boasts a theoretical specific capacity of nearly 4200 mAh / g, far exceeding that of traditional graphite, and is abundant on Earth and environmentally friendly.

[0004] Furthermore, to adapt to the design of spherical batteries for specific applications, anode materials also need to meet special physical requirements, such as good flexibility for winding processes and uniform coating thickness to ensure consistent electrochemical reactions. However, most current research on novel anode materials focuses on planar batteries, with relatively few anode materials optimized for spherical batteries, especially lacking effective solutions to address the aforementioned volume effects and initial coulombic efficiency. Therefore, developing anode materials specifically tailored for spherical batteries has become crucial for improving the overall performance of these batteries.

[0005] Therefore, in order to effectively solve the above problems, this application provides a special negative electrode material for circular batteries and its preparation method. The circular batteries prepared from the special negative electrode material for circular batteries prepared by this application not only have excellent battery capacity and discharge time, but also have good stability, battery cycle performance, safety and storage stability. They can meet the battery needs of existing high-power small electronic products and have excellent market and application prospects. Summary of the Invention
