The invention discloses a high-rate
silicon-carbon composite negative
electrode material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
new energy materials and
electrochemistry. The preparation method comprises the following steps: performing oxidation layer reconstruction on photovoltaic
silicon waste to obtain a two-dimensional Si / SiOx
composite material, then mixing the two-dimensional Si / SiOx
composite material with
metal salt, and performing
spray drying granulation and CVD sectional
carbon deposition to realize in-situ growth and
carbon coating of carbon nanotubes CNTs, thereby obtaining the high-rate
silicon-carbon composite negative
electrode material. According to the invention, the in-situ grown carbon nanotubes and the silicon-based material form a good conductive network and closer carbon shell
coating, Si-C bonds are formed, a multi-dimensional conductive network is constructed, excellent
electron /
ion conductivity of the
composite material is ensured, a reconstructed
oxide layer inhibits
volume expansion of silicon, pulverization and failure of the material are prevented, and the performance of the composite material is improved. In-situ growth CNTs are interspersed around silicon to buffer the interface stress of the silicon. The prepared composite material has excellent multiplying power and cycle performance, has
kilogram-level production capacity, and shows a wide application prospect in the field of electrochemical materials.
