[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202410095258.8 filed on January 23, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of battery technology, and in particular to a silicon-carbon negative electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0003] Silicon-based materials have the highest capacity among anode materials and are considered one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. However, their cycling stability is poor due to the large volume expansion (>300%) caused by the alloying reaction between silicon and lithium during charge and discharge, which leads to particle pulverization and deactivation. Technical Solutions

[0004] The following is a summary of the subject matter described in detail herein. This summary is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0005] The present application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a silicon-carbon negative electrode material having excellent cycle performance.

[0006] This application also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0007] This application also provides applications of the above-mentioned silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0008] Specifically as follows, the first aspect of the present application provides a silicon-carbon negative electrode material, including a porous carbon matrix;

[0009] The porous carbon matrix includes a carbon layer disposed on the surface;

[0010] The pores of the porous carbon matrix are filled with silicon-carbon material and carbon material;

[0011] The mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material to the carbon material is 30:1 to 40:1; the carbon material includes carbon nanotubes and graphene;

[0012] The mass ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the graphene is 2:1 to 5:1;

[0013] The carbon nanotubes and graphene are compounded on the surface of the silicon-carbon material and / or between the silicon-carbon materials.

[0014] In the present application, a carbon layer is provided on the surface of the porous carbon matrix of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, wherein the inner carbon layer of the porous carbon matrix is ​​used to adapt to volume changes, and the outer carbon layer is used to stabilize the electrolyte interface; there is a mechanical and chemical synergistic effect between the carbon layers on the inner and outer surfaces, so that the final silicon-carbon negative electrode material has both high density and crack resistance; at the same time, silicon-carbon materials, carbon nanotubes and graphene are also introduced into the pores; wherein the carbon nanotubes and the silicon-carbon materials are in point contact or line contact, and the graphene and the silicon-carbon materials are in surface contact; the carbon nanotubes, graphene and silicon-carbon materials form a point-line-surface conductive network, thereby optimizing the electronic conductivity network and improving the conductive performance.

[0015] At the same time, carbon nanotubes and graphene filled in the pores can support the silicon-carbon material, similar to an internal shrapnel; and graphene and carbon nanotubes have excellent flexibility, which can play a good buffering role during the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon material, and can also alleviate the point contact failure caused by the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon material, thereby greatly alleviating the performance degradation of the silicon-carbon material caused by the volume expansion, thus forming a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with good conductivity, excellent cycle performance and high capacity.

[0016] Controlling the mass ratio of silicon-carbon material to carbon material within a certain range can further improve the electrical performance of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials;

[0017] Controlling the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes and graphene within a certain range can further improve the electrical properties of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials.

[0018] In one embodiment, the carbon nanotube is at least one of a single-arm carbon nanotube or a multi-arm carbon nanotube.

[0019] Single-arm carbon nanotubes and multi-arm carbon nanotubes have good flexibility and mechanical properties; they can increase the conduction rate of electrons and improve conductivity; at the same time, single-arm carbon nanotubes can also connect silicon-carbon materials, increase the connection strength between particles, and form a conductive network to improve conductivity.

[0020] In one embodiment, the porosity of the porous carbon matrix is ​​15% to 25%.

[0021] If the porosity of the porous carbon matrix is ​​too small, the amount of silicon-carbon material and carbon material that can be filled is limited, so that the capacity improvement rate of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is limited, and the infiltration amount of the electrolyte is limited, thereby affecting the electrical properties of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material; and if the porosity of the porous carbon matrix is ​​too large, the filling amount of silicon-carbon material particles increases, and the expansion force received by the porous carbon matrix during the charging and discharging process increases, thereby affecting the structural stability of the porous carbon matrix; therefore, controlling the porosity of the porous carbon matrix within a certain range is conducive to further alleviating the deformation and pulverization of the silicon-carbon material, thereby further improving the electrochemical performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0022] In one embodiment, the pores in the porous carbon matrix have a diameter of 10 nm to 55 nm.

[0023] When the pore size is smaller, it becomes more difficult to fill the silicon-carbon material and the carbon material; when the pore size is larger, the bonding tightness between the silicon-carbon material and the carbon material decreases, which has a certain impact on the construction of the conductive network; therefore, controlling the pore size within a certain range is conducive to further improving the electrochemical performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0024] In one embodiment, the particle size of the silicon-carbon material is 4 nm to 15 nm.

[0025] If the particle size of the silicon-carbon material is too small, the deposition process of the silicon-carbon material becomes more difficult; if the particle size of the silicon-carbon material is too large, the ability of the silicon-carbon material to squeeze the carbon material becomes greater, and the carbon material is in a squeezed state for a long time, resulting in greater stress on the porous carbon matrix; and during the cycle, the silicon-carbon material will expand, and if its particle size is too large, the expansion force will be directly applied to the porous carbon matrix, thereby affecting the structural stability of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material; therefore, controlling the silicon-carbon material within a certain range is conducive to further improving the structural stability of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, thereby obtaining a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with excellent electrochemical performance.

[0026] In one embodiment, the carbon layer has a thickness of 1 nm to 3 nm.

[0027] If the thickness of the carbon layer is too small, the uniformity of the inner and outer surfaces of the porous carbon matrix will be poor; if the thickness of the carbon layer is too large, it will affect the deposition of silicon-carbon materials and carbon materials; therefore, controlling the thickness of the carbon layer within a certain range will help further improve the electrochemical performance of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials.

[0028] In one embodiment, the volume ratio of the graphene to the pores of the porous carbon matrix is ​​0.1:100 to 2:100.

[0029] In one embodiment, the volume ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the pores of the porous carbon matrix is ​​3:100 to 15:100.

[0030] In one embodiment, the volume ratio of the silicon-carbon material to the pores of the porous carbon matrix is ​​0.1:100 to 20:100.

[0031] Controlling the amount of graphene, carbon nanotubes and silicon-carbon materials within a certain range can give full play to the advantages of graphene, carbon nanotubes and silicon-carbon materials to construct a conductive network with excellent conductive properties; at the same time, it can also greatly alleviate the volume effect of silicon-carbon materials, thereby further improving the electrochemical performance of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials.

[0032] The second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned silicon-carbon negative electrode material, comprising the following steps:

[0034] A carbon material and a silicon-carbon material are sequentially deposited in the pores of the porous carbon matrix of the carbon-containing layer.

[0035] The preparation method of the present application comprises the following steps: carbonizing a carbon matrix to form a carbon layer on the surface of the carbon matrix; then sequentially forming carbon nanotubes and graphene (carbon material) on the surface of the carbon layer; then forming silicon-carbon material in the conductive network formed by the carbon nanotubes and graphene to construct a conductive network of points, lines and surfaces; at the same time, the carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon-silicon particles grown directly from the porous carbon matrix containing the carbon layer have closer connections internally, can play a better conductive role, and can also strengthen internal connections.

[0036] In one embodiment, the carbonization temperature is 600°C to 800°C.

[0037] By carbonizing the carbon matrix, a dense carbon layer is formed on both the outer and inner surfaces of the carbon matrix, thereby optimizing the interface of the carbon matrix and improving the structural stability.

[0038] In one embodiment, a first carrier gas is selected during the carbonization process, and the first carrier gas is composed of a hydrocarbon compound and a protective gas.

[0039] In one embodiment, the volume fraction of hydrocarbon compounds in the first carrier gas is 50% to 60%.

[0040] By controlling the carrier gas during the carbonization process, the growth quality of the carbon layer is further improved, and the stability of the carbon layer is further improved.

[0043] In one embodiment, the carbon material is deposited at a temperature of 150°C to 250°C.

[0044] In one embodiment, the carbon material is deposited for 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours.

[0045] During the carbon material deposition process, carbon nanotubes are first formed on the surface of the porous carbon matrix containing the carbon layer, and then graphene is further formed as the deposition time is delayed. By controlling the deposition parameters, the ratio of carbon nanotubes to graphene is controlled, thereby further improving the performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0046] In one embodiment, a third carrier gas is selected for the silicon-carbon material deposition, and the third carrier gas includes a hydrocarbon compound, a silane compound, and a protective gas.

[0047] In one embodiment, the volume fraction of hydrocarbon compounds in the third carrier gas is 10% to 20%.

[0048] In one embodiment, the volume fraction of the silane compound in the third carrier gas is 20% to 40%.

[0049] In one embodiment, the silicon-carbon material is deposited at a temperature of 150° C. to 250° C.

[0050] In one embodiment, the silicon-carbon material is deposited for 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours.

[0051] By controlling the deposition parameters of the silicon-carbon material, the mass fraction of silicon in the silicon-carbon material and the size of the silicon-carbon material can be regulated, thereby producing a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with excellent performance.

[0052] In one embodiment, the silicon-carbon material is subjected to pressurization and homogenization treatments after deposition.

[0053] After pressure treatment, the material is homogenized and its stability is further improved.

[0055] In one embodiment, the temperature of the pressurization treatment is 900° C. to 1100° C.

[0056] By pressurizing the composite material at the above-mentioned pressure and temperature, the stability of the material is further improved, thereby producing a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with excellent stability.

[0057] In one embodiment, the homogenization is ultrasonication.

[0058] Through ultrasonic treatment, the uniformity of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is further improved; at the same time, ultrasonic treatment will separate the carbon material attached to the outer surface and the silicon-carbon material from the outer surface carbon layer.

However, there may be cases where unnecessary detailed descriptions are omitted. For example, there are cases where detailed descriptions of well-known matters and repeated descriptions of actually the same structures are omitted. This is to avoid the following description from becoming unnecessarily lengthy and to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art. In addition, the drawings and the following description are provided for those skilled in the art to fully understand the present application and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0075] " range " disclosed in the present application is limited in the form of lower limit and upper limit, and given range is limited by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, and the selected lower limit and upper limit define the boundary of special range. The scope limited in this way can be to include end value or not include end value, and can be arbitrarily combined, that is, any lower limit can form a range with any upper limit combination. For example, if the scope of 60-120 and 80-110 is listed for specific parameters, it is understood that the scope of 60-110 and 80-120 is also expected. In addition, if the minimum range value 1 and 2 are listed, and if the maximum range value 3,4 and 5 are listed, then the following range can all be expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5. In this application, unless otherwise specified, the numerical range " ab " represents the abbreviation of any real number combination between a and b, wherein a and b are all real numbers. For example, a numerical range of "0-5" indicates that all real numbers between "0-5" are listed herein, and "0-5" is simply an abbreviation for these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when a parameter is expressed as an integer ≥ 2, this is equivalent to disclosing that the parameter is, for example, an integer of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

[0077] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and some technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0078] Unless otherwise specified, all steps of the present application may be performed sequentially or randomly, preferably sequentially.

[0081] Lithium-ion batteries have excellent properties such as high energy density, low self-discharge, high operating voltage, long cycle life, no memory effect and no environmental pollution. They have been rapidly developed and have been widely used in various portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and laptops.

[0082] There are still many problems to be solved in order to further improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. For example, the widely used graphite carbon negative electrode material, although it has the advantages of being cheap, environmentally friendly, highly structurally stable and having intrinsic conductivity, has a low theoretical specific capacity, which limits its application in fields requiring high energy density and power density output. Replacing the traditional graphite negative electrode with a high-capacity material is the most promising way to achieve higher energy density lithium-ion batteries.

[0083] Silicon (Si), which reacts with lithium through alloying, is considered a viable alternative to graphite-based anode materials due to its high specific capacity (3592 mAh g⁻¹). However, Si undergoes severe structural degradation and solid electrolyte interface (SEI) instability due to large volume fluctuations during crystallization. This not only leads to particle fracture and loss of electrical contact with the electrode system, but also hinders the stable formation of the SEI layer, continuously exposing new surfaces of the material to the electrolyte; resulting in poor cycling performance of silicon anode materials.

[0084] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a silicon-carbon negative electrode material having excellent cycle performance.

[0085] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a silicon-carbon negative electrode material, comprising a porous carbon matrix;

[0086] The porous carbon matrix includes a carbon layer disposed on the surface;

[0087] The pores of the porous carbon matrix are filled with silicon-carbon material and carbon material;

[0088] The mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material to the carbon material is 30:1 to 40:1; the carbon material includes carbon nanotubes and graphene;

[0089] The mass ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the graphene is 2:1 to 5:1;

[0090] The carbon nanotubes and graphene are compounded on the surface of silicon-carbon material particles and / or between silicon-carbon material particles.

[0091] The silicon-carbon negative electrode material in the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, a carbon layer is provided on the surface of the porous carbon matrix of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, wherein the inner carbon layer of the porous carbon matrix is ​​used to adapt to volume changes, and the outer carbon layer is used to stabilize the electrolyte interface; there is a mechanical and chemical synergistic effect between the carbon layers on the inner and outer surfaces, so that the final silicon-carbon negative electrode material has both high density and crack resistance; at the same time, silicon-carbon materials, carbon nanotubes and graphene are also introduced into the pores; wherein the carbon nanotubes and the silicon-carbon materials are in point contact or line contact, and the graphene and the silicon-carbon materials are in surface contact; the carbon nanotubes, graphene and silicon-carbon materials form a point-line-surface conductive network, thereby optimizing the electronic conductivity network and improving the conductive performance.

[0093] At the same time, carbon nanotubes and graphene filled in the pores can support the silicon-carbon material, similar to an internal shrapnel; and graphene and carbon nanotubes have excellent flexibility, which can play a good buffering role during the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon material, and can also alleviate the point contact failure caused by the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon material, thereby greatly alleviating the performance degradation of the silicon-carbon material caused by the volume expansion, thus forming a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with good conductivity, excellent cycle performance and high capacity.

[0094] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is designed, a dense outer layer of carbon is used to stabilize the electrolyte interface, and an inner layer of carbon in a porous carbon matrix is ​​used to adapt to volume changes. The mechanical and chemical synergy between the two carbon layers with different structures enables the silicon-carbon material to have both high densification and crack resistance. In the embodiment of the present application, the silicon particles are replaced with silicon-carbon materials to reduce the volume expansion rate, thereby reducing the risk of contact failure or porous carbon matrix rupture due to volume expansion of silicon particles. In the embodiment of the present application, graphene, conductive carbon nanotubes, single-arm carbon nanotubes, etc. are introduced to optimize the electronic conductivity network, thereby improving the electron transport performance (whereas in an optional method, the volume expansion of silicon particles in the pore structure of the porous carbon matrix will cause electrical contact failure, further resulting in poor interface electron transport performance).

[0095] Controlling the mass ratio of silicon-carbon material to carbon material within a certain range can further improve the electrical performance of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials;

[0096] Controlling the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes and graphene within a certain range can further improve the electrical properties of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials.

[0097] In some embodiments, the carbon nanotube is at least one of a single-arm carbon nanotube or a multi-arm carbon nanotube.

[0098] Single-arm carbon nanotubes and multi-arm carbon nanotubes have good flexibility and mechanical properties; they can increase the conduction rate of electrons and improve conductivity; at the same time, single-arm carbon nanotubes can also connect silicon-carbon materials, increase the connection strength between particles, and form a conductive network to improve conductivity.

[0099] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material to the carbon material is 35:1 to 40:1.

[0100] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material to the carbon material is 35:1 to 39:1.

[0101] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material to the carbon material is 35:1 to 37:1.

[0102] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the carbon nanotubes to graphene is 3:1 to 5:1.

[0103] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the carbon nanotubes to graphene is 3:1 to 4:1.

[0104] In some embodiments, the porous carbon matrix has a porosity of 15% to 25%.

[0105] If the porosity of the porous carbon matrix is ​​too small, the amount of silicon-carbon material and carbon material that can be filled is limited, so that the capacity improvement rate of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is limited, and the infiltration amount of the electrolyte is limited, thereby affecting the electrical properties of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material; and if the porosity of the porous carbon matrix is ​​too large, the filling amount of silicon-carbon material particles increases, and the expansion force received by the porous carbon matrix during the charging and discharging process increases, thereby affecting the structural stability of the porous carbon matrix; therefore, controlling the porosity of the porous carbon matrix within a certain range is conducive to further alleviating the deformation and pulverization of the silicon-carbon material, thereby further improving the electrochemical performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0106] In some embodiments, the porous carbon matrix has a porosity of 20% to 25%.

[0107] In some embodiments, the pores in the porous carbon matrix have a pore size of 10 nm to 55 nm.

[0108] When the pore size is smaller, it becomes more difficult to fill the silicon-carbon material and the carbon material; when the pore size is larger, the bonding tightness between the silicon-carbon material and the carbon material decreases, which has a certain impact on the construction of the conductive network; therefore, controlling the pore size within a certain range is conducive to further improving the electrochemical performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0109] In some embodiments, the particle size of the silicon-carbon material is 4 nm to 15 nm.

[0110] If the particle size of the silicon-carbon material is too small, the deposition process of the silicon-carbon material becomes more difficult; if the particle size of the silicon-carbon material is too large, the ability of the silicon-carbon material to squeeze the carbon material becomes greater, and the carbon material is in a squeezed state for a long time, resulting in greater stress on the porous carbon matrix; and during the cycle, the silicon-carbon material will expand, and if its particle size is too large, the expansion force will be directly applied to the porous carbon matrix, thereby affecting the structural stability of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material; therefore, controlling the silicon-carbon material within a certain range is conducive to further improving the structural stability of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, thereby obtaining a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with excellent electrochemical performance.

[0111] In some embodiments, the carbon layer has a thickness of 1 nm to 3 nm.

[0112] If the thickness of the carbon layer is too small, the uniformity of the inner and outer surfaces of the porous carbon matrix will be poor; if the thickness of the carbon layer is too large, it will affect the deposition of silicon-carbon materials and carbon materials; therefore, controlling the thickness of the carbon layer within a certain range will help further improve the electrochemical performance of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials.

[0113] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the graphene to the pores of the porous carbon matrix is ​​0.1:100 to 2:100.

[0114] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the pores of the porous carbon matrix is ​​3:100 to 15:100.

[0115] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the silicon-carbon material to the pores of the porous carbon matrix is ​​0.1:100 to 20:100.

[0116] Controlling the amount of graphene, carbon nanotubes and silicon-carbon materials within a certain range can give full play to the advantages of graphene, carbon nanotubes and silicon-carbon materials to construct a conductive network with excellent conductive properties; at the same time, it can also greatly alleviate the volume effect of silicon-carbon materials, thereby further improving the electrochemical performance of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials.

[0117] In some embodiments, the graphene includes at least one of single-layer graphene, few-layer graphene, multi-layer graphene, and graphene microplatelets.

[0118] In some embodiments, the carbon nanotubes are interspersed and interwoven between the silicon-carbon materials.

[0119] This application further ensures the specific morphology and structure of the composite material, better alleviates the deformation and pulverization of the silicon-carbon material, improves the electron transmission performance, and thus improves the electrochemical performance.

[0120] In some embodiments, the carbon nanotubes are interspersed and interwoven between the silicon-carbon materials.

[0121] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional structure of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is shown in Figures 1 to 2, including a porous carbon matrix 101;

[0122] The porous carbon substrate 101 includes a carbon layer disposed on the surface;

[0123] The carbon layer includes an outer layer of carbon 100;

[0124] The porous carbon matrix 101 further includes porous carbon matrix pores 102 disposed therein;

[0125] An inner layer of carbon 103 is provided on the pore walls of the porous carbon matrix pores 102;

[0127] The carbon material includes graphene 105 and carbon nanotubes 106;

[0128] The carbon nanotubes 106 and the graphene 105 are composited on the surface of the silicon-carbon material particles 104 and / or between the silicon-carbon material particles 104 .

[0129] A second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned silicon-carbon negative electrode material, comprising the following steps:

[0130] carbonizing the carbon matrix to obtain a porous carbon matrix containing a carbon layer;

[0131] A carbon material and a silicon-carbon material are sequentially deposited on the surface of the porous carbon matrix of the carbon-containing layer.

[0132] The preparation method of the present application performs a carbonization treatment on a carbon matrix to form a carbon layer on the surface of the carbon matrix through the carbonization treatment; then carbon nanotubes and graphene are formed in sequence on the surface of the carbon layer; then silicon-carbon material is formed in the conductive network formed by the carbon nanotubes and graphene to construct a conductive network of points, lines and surfaces; at the same time, the carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon-silicon particles grown directly from the porous carbon matrix containing the carbon layer have closer connections inside, can play a better conductive role, and can also strengthen internal connections.

[0133] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the carbon matrix comprises the following steps:

[0258] Note: Charge transfer resistance refers to the resistance formed by the transfer of electrons in the charge layer formed on the electrode surface when current passes through the contact surface. The change in charge transfer resistance is used to measure the kinetic changes in electron transfer before and after the cycle.

[0259] The difference between Examples 1 to 3 lies in the amount of carbon source used. The test results show that controlling the amount of carbon source within a certain range is beneficial to further improving the capacity retention rate and capacity.

[0260] The difference between Example 2 and Example 4 is the amount of iron source used. From the test results, it is known that increasing the amount of iron source is beneficial to further improving the capacity retention rate and capacity.

[0263] In Comparative Examples 1 to 2, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material with a specific structure was not formed, and its cycle performance was greatly deteriorated; that is, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material with a specific structure prepared in this embodiment has greater advantages in cycle performance, interface performance and capacity.

[0264] The silicon-carbon negative electrode material structure in the embodiment is designed as follows:

[0265] The dense outer carbon layer stabilizes the electrolyte interface, while the inner carbon layer within the porous carbon matrix accommodates volume changes. The mechanical and chemical synergy between the two structurally distinct carbon layers enables Si-C particles to achieve both high densification and crack resistance. The volume expansion of silicon-carbon particles within the pore structure can lead to electrical contact failure, resulting in poor electron transport at the cell interface. To avoid poor contact due to pores, graphene, conductive carbon nanotubes, and single-arm carbon nanotubes are introduced to optimize the electronic conductivity network.

[0266] In the embodiment, by filling the pores of the porous carbon matrix with small Si-C particles, the risk of contact failure and porous carbon matrix shell rupture caused by volume changes of pure silicon particles is reduced, thereby improving the cycle stability;

[0267] At the same time, by filling carbon materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes into the porous carbon matrix, the pore dynamics is improved; the compound of graphene and carbon nanotubes forms a structure similar to the spring clip inside the button, and the conductive carbon material has good flexibility, structural stability, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity; thereby further alleviating a series of degradations caused by volume changes during the cycle.

The above-mentioned embodiments are merely examples, and any embodiments having substantially the same structure and effect as the technical concept within the scope of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present application. In addition, without departing from the scope of the present application, any other embodiments that can be conceived by those skilled in the art and that combine some of the constituent elements in the embodiments are also included in the scope of the present application.
