And mechanically stirring the dry-mixed silicon particles, the porous carbon and the polyacrylonitrile solution to obtain slurry.
in the embodiment of the invention, firstly, the silicon particles and the porous carbon are subjected to ball milling and dry mixing, and then the dry-mixed silicon particles, the dry-mixed porous carbon and the polyacrylonitrile solution are mechanically stirred, so that the silicon particles, the porous carbon and the polyacrylonitrile in the slurry can be uniformly mixed, and the prepared silicon cathode has good cycling stability and gram volume.

referring to fig. 3, in order to obtain porous carbon for preparing a silicon anode material, before performing ball milling dry mixing on silicon particles and the porous carbon, the method in this embodiment further includes the following steps: preparing porous carbon.
Wherein, the preparation of porous carbon specifically comprises:

Because the polyacrylonitrile starts to carry out dehydration cyclization reaction under the condition of more than 300 ℃, and the polyacrylonitrile can be carbonized by continuously increasing the temperature, the heat treatment temperature is set to be 300-600 ℃ so as to improve the conductivity of the silicon cathode. In addition, the longer the heat preservation time at a higher temperature is, the smaller the binding force between the silicon negative electrode material and the copper foil is, so that the silicon negative electrode material is easy to fall off in the circulating process, and therefore, the heat preservation time is 10min-3h, the silicon negative electrode material is ensured not to fall off from the copper foil easily, and the silicon negative electrode obtained after heat treatment has good circulating performance and gram capacity.

wherein the silicon particles have a particle size of 40 nm.
Comparative example to example one:
s31, mechanically stirring the silicon particles and the polyacrylonitrile solution to obtain slurry; wherein, based on the total weight of the silicon particles and the polyacrylonitrile, the content of the silicon particles accounts for 70 percent, and the content of the polyacrylonitrile accounts for 30 percent; the mass fraction of the polyacrylonitrile solution is 5%; the particle size of the silicon particles is 50 nm;

The particle size of the silicon particles is 40nm, and the coating load of the silicon particles represents the mass of the silicon particles coated on a unit area of the pole piece.
as shown in fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 4, the silicon particles in the first example are attached to porous Carbon, and the silicon particles are partially coated with carbonized polyacrylonitrile, so that when the silicon particles in the first example undergo volume expansion during charging and discharging of the Si-Carbon-PAN of the silicon anode, the silicon particles have a larger buffer space, thereby avoiding damage to the overall structure of the Si-Carbon-PAN of the silicon anode in the first example, and further improving the cycle performance of the battery; the silicon particles in the comparative example are lack of buffer space when the carbonized polyacrylonitrile is tightly coated on the silicon particles, so that the overall structure of the silicon anode Si-PAN in the comparative example is easy to damage.
in addition, as shown in fig. 5, in the case of a current density of 1A/g, the capacity retention rate of the button cell of the first example is higher than 90% in 300 cycles, and even after 300 cycles, the Si-Carbon-PAN of the silicon anode of the first example still has a gram capacity of 1300 mAh/g. In contrast, in the comparative example, the decrease in the gram capacity of the silicon negative electrode Si-PAN was very significant, and particularly after 300 revolutions, the silicon negative electrode Si-PAN hardly exhibited the capacity. It can be seen that, compared to the silicon negative electrode Si-PAN of the comparative example, since the silicon negative electrode Si-Carbon-PAN of the example one contains porous Carbon, the silicon negative electrode Si-Carbon-PAN has excellent conductivity and a robust overall structure, thereby having more excellent cycle performance and gram-capacity.
Effect of different Heat treatment temperatures on the Performance of silicon cathodes
in order to study the influence of different heat treatment temperatures on the performance of the silicon negative electrode, in the first embodiment of the present invention, by changing the heat treatment temperature, the performance of the silicon negative electrode obtained at different heat treatment temperatures (150 ℃, 250 ℃, 450 ℃, 600 ℃) is tested without changing other process steps and process parameters, and the test results are shown in fig. 6 and 7:
Referring to fig. 6, when the heat treatment temperature is 450 ℃, polyacrylonitrile is carbonized and part of cyano bonds (CN) are retained, and strong force is applied between cyano groups in the carbonized polyacrylonitrile and silicon particles, which is helpful for constructing a stable structure and achieving excellent cycle performance. In addition, as shown in fig. 7, the silicon negative electrode Si-Carbon-PAN-450 having the heat treatment temperature of 450 ℃ has more excellent cycle stability and capacity than the silicon negative electrode Si-Carbon-PAN-150 having the heat treatment temperature of 150 ℃. The initial capacity of the silicon cathode Si-Carbon-PAN-450 with the heat treatment temperature of 450 ℃ reaches 1250mAh/g, and the gram capacity of more than 1000mAh/g is still remained after the silicon cathode Si-Carbon-PAN-450 is circulated for 400 weeks; and the initial capacity of the silicon cathode Si-Carbon-PAN-150 with the heat treatment temperature of 150 ℃ is only 1000mAh/g, and the reduction range is large. Therefore, the polyacrylonitrile in the silicon cathode is carbonized at the heat treatment temperature of 450 ℃ and forms a complete conductive network under the combined action of the polyacrylonitrile and the porous carbon, so that the gram volume of silicon particles is favorably exerted. In addition, the cyano group in the carbonized polyacrylonitrile has stronger acting force with the silicon particles, so that a stable structure is favorably constructed, and the silicon cathode achieves excellent cycle performance.

In order to study the influence of porous carbon with different mixing ratios on the performance of the silicon negative electrode, in the embodiment of the invention, the mixing ratio of the porous carbon is changed, and on the premise that other process steps and process parameters are not changed, the performance of the silicon negative electrode obtained under the condition that the porous carbon with different mixing ratios (the weight ratios of the porous carbon are respectively 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% based on the total weight of the silicon particles, the porous carbon and the polyacrylonitrile, and correspondingly, the weight ratios of the silicon particles are respectively 75%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40% and 30%) is tested.
and (4) test conclusion: the more porous carbon content, the lower the coulombic efficiency of the first turn of the silicon negative electrode, and in the following long cycle, although the silicon negative electrode can maintain the cycle stability, the capacity is lower. This is because the carbon content is too large, the more lithium ions are consumed in forming a solid electrolyte interface (SEI film), and it is irreversible in the next cycle.
Effect of incubation time for different thermal treatments on silicon negative Performance
In order to study the influence of the heat preservation time of different heat treatments on the performance of the silicon cathode, in the first embodiment of the invention, the performance of the silicon cathode obtained under the heat preservation time (10min, 30min, 1h, 2h and 3h) of different heat treatments is tested by changing the heat preservation time of the heat treatments under the premise that other process steps and process parameters are not changed.
And (4) test conclusion: the cycle performance of the silicon negative electrode is poorer as the holding time is longer, because the longer the holding time is at a higher temperature, the smaller the binding force between the silicon negative electrode material and the copper foil is, and the silicon negative electrode material is easy to fall off in the cycle process.
Effect of coating loadings of different silicon particles and porous carbon on silicon negative Performance
in order to study the influence of the coating loading amounts of different silicon particles and porous carbon on the performance of the silicon negative electrode, in the first embodiment of the invention, the performance of the silicon negative electrode obtained under the coating loading amounts of different silicon particles and porous carbon (1mg/cm 2, 1.5mg/cm 2, 2mg/cm 2, 2.5mg/cm 2 and 3mg/cm 2) is tested by changing the coating loading amounts of the silicon particles and the porous carbon under the premise of not changing other process steps and process parameters.
The test results show that the silicon negative electrode of the embodiment still shows better cycle performance when the loading of the silicon negative electrode is below 3mg/cm 2, and the gram capacity of 800mAh/g can be still maintained after 500 weeks of cycle, so that the silicon negative electrode of the embodiment has higher structural stability during the charge and discharge processes.
Effect of particle size of different silicon particles on the Performance of silicon cathodes
in order to study the influence of the particle sizes of different silicon particles on the performance of the silicon negative electrode, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the performance of the silicon negative electrode obtained under the particle sizes (10nm, 50nm, 150nm, 1um, 2um, 5um, and 10um) of different silicon particles is tested by changing the particle size of the silicon particles under the premise that other process steps and process parameters are not changed.
and (4) test conclusion: when the particle diameter of the silicon particles is below 1um, the prepared silicon negative electrode shows better cycle performance. When the particle size of the silicon particles is more than 1um, the prepared silicon negative electrode has poor cycle performance. This is because when the particle diameter of the silicon particles is 1um or more, the pulverization of the silicon negative electrode is relatively serious due to a large volume change during the charge and discharge, and therefore, it is preferable to use silicon particles having a particle diameter of 1um or less in the present invention.
Effect of Polyacrylonitrile in different mixing ratios on the Performance of silicon cathodes
in order to study the influence of polyacrylonitrile with different mixing ratios on the performance of the silicon cathode, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the performance of the silicon cathode obtained by polyacrylonitrile with different mixing ratios (the weight ratios of polyacrylonitrile are 5%, 15%, 25%, 35%, and 45% based on the total weight of silicon particles, porous carbon, and polyacrylonitrile) is tested by changing the mixing ratio of polyacrylonitrile and under the premise that other process steps and process parameters are not changed.
And (4) test conclusion: when the mixing proportion of polyacrylonitrile is below 25%, the silicon negative electrode can keep better cycling stability, and when the mixing proportion of polyacrylonitrile is higher, the cycling stability of the silicon negative electrode is poorer. The reason is that when the polyacrylonitrile is excessive, the silicon particles are wrapped by the silicon carbide polyacrylonitrile of the silicon cathode too tightly, so that the silicon particles do not have enough buffer space when volume expansion occurs in the charging and discharging processes of the silicon cathode, the silicon cathode is easy to pulverize, and the cycling stability of the silicon cathode is influenced finally.
To sum up, the embodiment of the invention provides a silicon negative electrode material, a silicon negative electrode and a preparation method of the silicon negative electrode, wherein the silicon negative electrode material is used for attaching silicon particles to the hole wall of porous carbon so as to ensure that the silicon particles can provide enough buffer space for the silicon particles when the silicon particles are subjected to volume expansion in the charging and discharging processes, so that the integral structure of the silicon negative electrode is prevented from being damaged, and the cycle performance of a battery is improved; meanwhile, the silicon particles are coated by the polyacrylonitrile, so that a strong acting force is generated between nitrogen atoms in the polyacrylonitrile and the silicon particles, a stable conductive network is formed, the damage to the overall structure of the silicon cathode caused by the volume expansion of the silicon particles in the charge and discharge processes of the silicon cathode is relieved, and the cycle performance of the battery is improved finally. In addition, because the silicon particles have poor conductivity, the embodiment of the invention improves the conductivity of the silicon cathode through the porous carbon with good conductivity and the stable conductive network formed by the nitrogen atoms in the polyacrylonitrile and the silicon particles, and is beneficial to the exertion of the high-gram capacity performance of the silicon particles. In addition, the porous carbon can provide gram capacity for the silicon cathode, so that the capacity of the battery is increased, the energy density of the battery is improved, and secondly, the porous carbon has a large specific surface area, so that a place can be provided for the electrolyte to infiltrate into the silicon cathode.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
