This invention discloses a
mesoporous carbon composite material and its preparation method. The preparation method is as follows: S1: Using
tetraethyl orthosilicate as the
silicon source, an
ethanol / deionized water mixture, a surfactant as the
solvent system, and a conductive agent as the
dopant, a
polycondensation reaction is carried out under acid-base
catalysis. A silica / soft template composite is formed through a
sol-gel process, followed by high-temperature
sintering to obtain a silica composite template; S2: A
mixed solution A is prepared by mixing a
phenol source, a dispersant, and water; a
mixed solution B is prepared by mixing an
aldehyde source, a
lithium supplement, and a catalyst; S3: Mixed solutions A, B, and the silica composite template are reacted, carbonized, and activated. The resulting material is then added to a
hydrofluoric acid solution to dissolve the template, and the resulting material undergoes thermal reduction to obtain the
mesoporous carbon composite material. The
mesoporous carbon prepared using the template method exhibits advantages such as high uniformity,
large pore volume, and low
powder resistivity. It can be applied to
silicon-carbon composite materials to increase the deposition amount of nano-
silicon, improve specific capacity, and reduce the expansion of silicon-carbon materials.
