Abstract

A silicon-based particle with a core-shell structure, a method for preparing the same, an anode material, an electrode and a battery. The silicon-based particle includes: a core comprising an oxygen-containing silicon-based compound matrix and nano-silicon grains, a molar ratio of oxygen to silicon in the core being 0.5-1.5; a silicon carbide layer covering the core; and a carbon layer covering the silicon carbide layer. The silicon-based particle is used in batteries, and has the characteristics of low expansion rate, long cycle life, high capacity and high coulombic efficiency.
