This invention discloses a method for preparing a
bilayer carbon-modified
silicon anode material. It belongs to the field of energy conversion and storage technology. It includes the following steps: (1) ultrasonically treating
silicon-based particles in an
organic solvent, then adding a
silane coupling agent to the above dispersion, heating and stirring, centrifuging and
drying to obtain a
silicon-based material A modified with a
silane coupling agent on the surface; (2) dispersing A in an
organic solvent, then adding an
ionic liquid dropwise to the above dispersion, heating and stirring to obtain an
ionic liquid-grafted material B; (3) dispersing material B and rGO material in
ethanol, ultrasonically mixing, heating and stirring, and finally washing and
drying the product to obtain material C; (4) mixing material C with
graphite, degassing and stirring, then performing temperature-controlled
sintering, and cooling to
room temperature to obtain a
bilayer carbon-modified
silicon anode material with a first layer of strong linkage between rGO and silicon substrate, and a second layer of
graphite carbon homogeneously
coating rGO. The method of this invention uses ionic liquids,
silane coupling agents, or a combination of the two as
interfacial bonding materials to improve the
interfacial bonding force of the
coating material, thereby reducing the
volume expansion of the
silicon anode material during charge-
discharge cycles, forming a continuously connected buffer layer to overcome the breakage of silicon particles, and improving the interfacial
conductivity. It has a significant effect on improving the
structural stability of the
anode active material in
lithium-
ion batteries or
lithium slurry batteries, and improves the long cycle life of the material.
