Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of porous carbon preparation, and particularly relates to a novel porous carbon preparation system. Background Art

[0002] Silicon materials are considered to be the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to their high theoretical specific capacity of 4200 mAh / g, moderate chemical potential, rich reserves, environmental friendliness and low price. Although silicon materials have obvious advantages, they also face a severe challenge. Its expansion rate of up to 300% may cause the material to powder and crack during the cycling process. To solve the expansion problem of silicon materials, the most promising technology is to deposit a certain amount of nano-silicon in the pores by cracking silane gas on a porous carbon substrate, thus well solving the volume effect of silicon-based anodes. The voids in the porous structure reserve a buffer space for the volume expansion of silicon particles, enhancing the stability and structural strength of the material, and showing excellent performance in high-energy density lithium batteries. As the core raw material of the new silicon-carbon, the status of porous carbon in the silicon-carbon anode industry is becoming increasingly prominent. The quality and production capacity of porous carbon will seriously affect the future development of the new silicon-carbon anode. Existing porous carbon preparation equipment all adopts an external heating fluidized bed, with large heat transfer losses through the furnace shell, high energy consumption, and difficult control of the doped influencing gases in the pore-forming reaction, resulting in unqualified quality of the porous carbon finished product, low production efficiency, and large pollutant emissions.
