The maximum reversible specific capacity of the negative plate obtained by above-mentioned steps is 1680mAh/g, and the charge specific capacity (de-lithium) after circulation 100 circle is 1008mAh/g, and capability retention is 60%.
Example 4 and experimental example 3 is more known by experiment, prepare the content that mixed solution heightens silicon nanoparticle preparing second step, and the relative amount (also improving the content of silicon materials relative to Graphene) of B film is improved when electrostatic spray, can promote the maximum reversible specific capacity performance of obtained negative plate, but after circulation, capacity retention correspondingly can decline to some extent.Visible, the content increasing silicon materials might not cause the lifting of capability retention.
Experimental example 5: this experimental example is relative to experimental example 3, and difference is only: in the 3rd step and the 4th step, unit are coating quality change and repeat the number of plies change of lamination during spraying.

Example 5 and experimental example 3 is more known by experiment, the obtained quality that is roughly the same, the active material of same composition content, in experimental example 3 stacked point 10 layers, every layer of coating quality is less, the scheme of thinner thickness, than in experimental example 5 stacked point 3 layers, the scheme that every layer thickness is thicker, the conservation rate better performances of capacity, the former is 74.5%, and the latter is only 60%.Show that in the preparation, the number of plies is more, it is less that every layer of thinner scheme is better than the number of plies, every layer of thicker scheme.
Experimental example 6: this experimental example is relative to experimental example 3, and difference is only: in the 5th step, repeats the number of plies change of lamination, increases to 50 AB2 laminated construction.Finally, the maximum reversible specific capacity of obtained negative plate is 965mAh/g, and the charge specific capacity (de-lithium) after circulation 100 circle is 580mAh/g, and capability retention is 60.1%.
Example 6 and experimental example 3 is more known by experiment, and the scheme that the lamination number of plies is set to 10 or 50 is all feasible.But increase the lamination number of plies, increase the content of active material, unit mass specific capacity performance there is no obvious increase, also declines to some extent on the contrary.Reason is: if mass percent one timing of silicon in active material layer, when coating thickness strengthens, the capacity away from the active material of collector plays degradation, so the volumetric properties of unit mass ratio there is no obvious increase.

Compared with reference example by experimental example 1 ~ 6, the volumetric properties of the negative plate that known experimental example 1 ~ 6 is obtained is all better than the volumetric properties of negative plate conventionally obtained in comparative example.Visible, although material relative composition controls the same, pass through electrostatic Spraying technique, and the compound prepared has the structure of stacked in multi-layers, thus be conducive to electricity and the structural stability of holding electrode, the volumetric properties of the negative plate made is better than the negative plate of simple mixing carbonization treatment, and the negative plate volumetric properties prepared according to the process of experimental example 1 ~ 6 is all better, and conservation rate is 57.6% ~ 74.5%.
