The application discloses an in-situ preparation method of
carbon nanotube /
silicon composite material and belongs to the technical field of
lithium ion battery negative
electrode materials. A solution containing a
carbon source and a catalyst is taken into a
plasma reactor by a carrier gas and a reducing gas, and a
silicon source gas is introduced at the same time; the material sequentially passes through a first double-
electrode area (20-50 kW), arc
discharge is cracked to generate carbon nanotubes and deposit
silicon nanoparticles; then passes through a second double-
electrode area (10-19 kW) to remove
amorphous carbon impurities; and then passes through a third double-electrode area (1-9 kW) to reduce sp 3 Defects in the carbon nanotubes; after the reaction is finished,
liquid nitrogen spraying, low-temperature
nitrogen or water spraying is used for rapid cooling, gas flow grading or vibration screening is carried out to collect the
carbon nanotube / silicon
composite material. The in-situ growth of the carbon nanotubes, the silicon deposition, the removal of
amorphous carbon and the repair are continuously completed in the same reactor, the reaction only takes a few minutes, the process is simple, the method is suitable for large-scale production, and the obtained
composite material can be used for
lithium ion battery negative electrodes.
