Abstract: Silicon-based cathode materials have become one of the most promising lithium ion cathode materials for the next generation Li-ion batteries to substitute traditional graphite cathode because of high theoretical lithium storage capacity.However,silicon as a negative material,the large volume expansion (up to 300%),the low conductivity and the corrodibility which could react with HF from the electrolyte,those all limit its development in commercial applications.Carbon has the advantages such as high stability,good conductivity,low price,wide source and so on.But the theoretical capacity of carbon storage is low,only about one tenth of that of silicon.In order to solve the problems of lithium ion battery silicon material,the main method is to combine silicon and carbon to produce silicon-carbon composite cathode with high storage capacity,good conductivity and excellent cyclicity.The thesis set forth the research process of silicon-carbon composite cathode materials which was mainly from two aspects that silicon-carbon composite structure and preparation methods.The scientists think that “egg” structure can effectively improve the cycle and safety performance,but it was still not able to go into mass production.Finally,the thesis putted forward some ideas of mine and development of the project group:design a special kind of silicon-carbon composite with core-shell structure using colloide particles with gel technique.
