Graphite has a regular layered structure, excellent electrical conductivity, and a theoretical specific capacity of 372 mAh / g, making it the mainstream negative electrode material today. Currently, the raw materials used to develop artificial graphite mainly include three types: isotropic coke, bitumen binder, and needle coke. Isotropic coke-based artificial graphite has low crystallinity, high isotropy, low capacity, and high power output. Needle coke-based artificial graphite has high capacity but relatively poor rate capability, while bitumen binder-based artificial graphite generally falls somewhere between the two.

[0004] CN104681786A discloses a coal-based anode material. The coal-based anode material is composed of an inner layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer formed by graphitizing the coal-based material. The preparation method of the material includes crushing the coal-based material, adding a binder or a mixture of a binder and a modifier, and then performing compression and high-temperature graphitization to obtain the final product.

[0005] CN109319757A discloses a method for preparing hollow-open onion carbon anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Coal material is used as raw material, mixed with nickel salt or nickel elemental substance as catalyst, and heated, so that the nickel salt or nickel elemental substance is uniformly distributed on the surface of the coal-based material particles. After cooling, a layer of open-open graphite onion carbon is formed on the spherical surface. Finally, graphite onion carbon with a hollow-open sphere structure is obtained after acid-base treatment and purification.

[0007] The negative electrode materials provided by the above prior art have complicated structures and methods, are expensive, and require the use of acids, bases, etc. for purification treatment, which is not environmentally friendly. More importantly, the rate capability of the single-phase graphite negative electrode material in the prior art is insufficient and cannot meet actual demand.
