The invention belongs to the technical field of
lithium ion battery negative
electrode materials, and particularly relates to a
silicon-based
composite material and a preparation method thereof, a negative
electrode plate and a
lithium ion battery. The
silicon-based
composite material comprises a
silicon-based material and a composite binder coated on the surface of the silicon-based material, the composite binder is a cross-linked
polymer of a first
polymer and a second
polymer, the first polymer is selected from polyacrylate, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates, polyacrylates and polyacrylates. The second polymer is selected from at least one of
polyvinyl alcohol, polymethylacrylic acid,
carboxymethyl cellulose or
polyaniline. According to the silicon-based
composite material provided by the invention, the surface of the silicon-based material is coated with the composite binder, on one hand, the inhibition effect on silicon expansion can be improved, on the other hand, the
polyacrylic acid binder can directionally act on the silicon-based material, the content and the cost of the
polyacrylic acid binder in negative
electrode slurry are reduced, and the
processing performance of the silicon-based composite material is improved; meanwhile, the consumption of main materials can be increased, and the
energy density and cycle life of the
lithium ion battery are improved.
