The invention discloses a
silicon /
graphite / carbon-aluminum
oxide composite negative
electrode material and a green preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
lithium ion batteries. Aiming at the problems of high
volume expansion rate and poor
cycling stability of a
silicon-based negative
electrode and high cost of a traditional process, the invention innovatively provides the following scheme: 1) waste photovoltaic
silicon wafer ball-milling liquid and waste
graphite are taken as core raw materials, and resource recycling is realized; (2) phenolic resin and
chitosan are adopted as double carbon sources, a
nitrogen-
doped carbon layer (the
nitrogen content is 3-5 wt.%) is formed through pH-induced self-
assembly, and the
conductivity and the Li < + >
diffusion rate are synchronously improved; and 3)
aluminum nitrate is introduced for
pyrolysis to generate 2-5nm aluminum
oxide for
doping, so that the
side reaction of the
electrolyte is inhibited, and the
volume expansion of silicon is relieved (the
expansion rate is less than or equal to 120%). The preparation process comprises the steps of silicon /
graphite dispersion, double-carbon-source compounding,
ammonia water regulation and control
precipitation and gradient
calcination. Experiments show that the specific capacity of the optimized material under the current of 0.5 A / g reaches more than 800mAh / g, the 100-time cycle capacity
retention ratio is more than 98%, the 1000-time cycle capacity
retention ratio is more than 80%, the reversible specific capacity under the multiplying power of 3A / g is more than 550mAh / g, and the
raw material cost is reduced by 40%. The invention has the advantages of high capacity, long service life,
environmental protection and economy, and provides an innovative solution for the fields of power batteries and
energy storage.
