The invention discloses a low-cost zero-strain high-capacity fast-charging
porous silicon carbon negative
electrode material as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of
energy storage. According to the method, a spherical
plant-based
biomass material is used as a
raw material, and is compounded with a high-molecular
polymer and a
molten salt pore-forming agent to prepare the spherical interconnected
hierarchical porous carbon material. In the high-temperature
carbonization and pore-forming process of the
molten salt, part of
metal compounds are subjected to carbothermal reduction to form
metal elementary substances, the
metal elementary substances serve as active sites for
silanization gas, and catalytic reduction growth of superfine
silicon nanoparticles is carried out in pores of the interconnected
hierarchical porous spherical carbon in a uniformly dispersed manner. The hierarchical interconnected pore structure of the obtained material can relieve
volume expansion in the charge-
discharge process, optimize
electron density distribution and promote charge transfer, so that the
conductivity and
ion transmission rate of a final product are improved; the dispersed superfine
silicon nanoparticles enable the prepared
silicon carbon negative
electrode to have zero strain, high capacity,
fast charging performance and excellent
cycling stability, so that the silicon carbon negative
electrode becomes a potential ideal material of silicon carbon.
