Abstract

A silicon-graphite composite, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium battery anode and a lithium battery containing the silicon-graphite composite are provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. The silicon-graphite composite includes graphite and a silicon source fiber. The silicon source fiber is embedded in an interlayer structure of the graphite. The silicon-graphite composite is used as an anode material of the lithium battery in an embodiment of the disclosure.

Claims (24)

1. A silicon-graphite composite, comprising a graphite and a silicon source fiber, wherein the silicon source fiber is embedded in an interlayer structure of the graphite.

2. The silicon-graphite composite according to claim 1 , wherein the graphite is a flake graphite with a roughness Ra of not less than 10.

3. The silicon-graphite composite according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon source fiber is a silicon source fiber with a roughness Ra of not less than 10.

4. The silicon-graphite composite according to claim 2 , wherein the silicon source fiber is a silicon source fiber with a roughness Ra of not less than 10.

5. The silicon-graphite composite according to claim 1 , further comprising a carbon coating layer, wherein the carbon coating layer coats the graphite and the silicon source fiber.

6. The silicon-graphite composite according to claim 2 , further comprising a carbon coating layer, wherein the carbon coating layer coats the graphite and the silicon source fiber.

7. The silicon-graphite composite according to claim 3 , further comprising a carbon coating layer, wherein the carbon coating layer coats the graphite and the silicon source fiber.

8. The silicon-graphite composite according to claim 4 , further comprising a carbon coating layer, wherein the carbon coating layer coats the graphite and the silicon source fiber.

9. A preparation method of a silicon-graphite composite, comprising:

providing a silicon source fiber; and

mixing the silicon source fiber and a flake graphite in a solvent, and calcining after removing the solvent to obtain the silicon-graphite composite; wherein

the calcination process is performed in an oxygen-free atmosphere.

10. The preparation method according to claim 9 , comprising:

mixing the silicon source fiber and an organic carbon source to obtain an organic carbon source-silicon source composite fiber; and

mixing the organic carbon source-silicon source composite fiber and the flake graphite in the solvent, and calcining after removing the solvent to obtain the silicon-graphite composite; wherein

the organic carbon source is selected from one or more of a carbohydrate an organic acid, and fats and oils.

11. The preparation method according to claim 9 , wherein a preparation of the flake graphite comprises:

dispersing a flake oxidized graphite in a solvent to form a dispersion liquid; and

spray-drying the dispersion liquid to obtain the flake graphite with a roughness Ra of not less than 10.

12. The preparation method according to claim 9 , wherein the calcination process is performed in an organic atmosphere.

13. The preparation method according to claim 10 , wherein the calcination process is performed in an organic atmosphere.

14. The preparation method according to claim 11 , wherein the calcination process is performed in an organic atmosphere.

15. A lithium battery, comprising an anode, the anode comprises the silicon-graphite composite according to claim 1 .

16. A lithium battery, comprising an anode, the anode comprises a silicon-graphite composite obtained by the preparation method according to claim 9 .
