However, in the practical development and application process, the silicon-based negative electrode also has the following problems: firstly, the efficiency is low for the first time, and the reason is that the surface of a silicon-based negative electrode is active and reacts violently with electrolyte, excessive lithium ions are consumed, and a thick SEI film is formed on the surface; meanwhile, the silicon-based negative electrode has a low lithium ion diffusion rate, the inner layer is limited in lithium ion extraction (the closer to the core, the more difficult the lithium ion extraction), once the silicon-based negative electrode is charged and discharged at a high rate or under a large current, the defect is amplified, and the first efficiency of the silicon-based negative electrode is further reduced. Secondly, the silicon-based negative electrode can generate obvious volume expansion during charging and discharging, and the stress release from inside to outside can cause the silicon-based negative electrode to generate microcracks, damage the body structure, greatly reduce the stability of the silicon-based negative electrode and cause the rapid reduction of the electrochemical performance; and the structural damage can generate a new surface, and can cause a series of adverse reactions such as repeated SEI film formation, excessive lithium ion consumption and the like.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the research field and the industrial field mainly improve the silicon-based negative electrode by means of carbon coating, pre-lithiation and the like. Patent application No. 201711094379.7 discloses a lithium ion battery composite negative electrode material and a preparation method thereof, wherein nano silicon with a silicon dioxide-coated surface is obtained by oxidizing the surface of nano silicon, and the nano silicon is mixed with a lithium source and is heated in an inert atmosphere to obtain a nano silicon material coated with lithium silicate. The patent application No. 201810873657.7 discloses a silicon-carbon negative electrode material, a lithium ion battery negative electrode and a lithium ion battery, wherein a multilevel silicon-carbon composite material is prepared through a silicon-carbon composite process for multiple times, so that the structural stability and the electrical conductivity of the silicon-carbon negative electrode are improved. Patent No. 201980003453.0 discloses a silicon-based negative electrode material for a secondary battery and a preparation method thereof, wherein the secondary battery comprises: the shell comprises a core, a first shell and a second shell, wherein the core is coated by the first shell, the second shell comprises a carbon film layer or a composite film layer formed by the carbon film layer and a conductive additive, and the first shell is coated by the second shell. However, the above-mentioned several structural designs for silicon-based anodes have the following two problems: (1) The technical problems that the silicon-based negative electrode is low in lithium ion diffusion rate are not solved by improving the silicon negative electrode, and only the surface is subjected to corresponding carbon coating or pre-lithiation treatment, so that the effect of improving the primary efficiency is very limited; (2) The carbon source coated with carbon and the pre-lithiated lithium source are both directly mixed with the silicon-based cathode, so that the carbon coating layer or the pre-lithiated layer is randomly distributed on the surface of the silicon-based cathode, the volume expansion of the silicon-based cathode cannot be effectively inhibited, and the structural stability cannot be effectively improved.
The patent of application number 202010345495.7 discloses a phosphorus-doped silicon-based lithium ion battery cathode material and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the phosphorus-doped silicon-based cathode material is a powder material, and the powder conductance is 3.0S/cm-6.0S/cm; the phosphorus doped silicon-based negative electrode material comprises: 90-99.49 wt% of silicon-based powder material, 0.01-3 wt% of phosphorus-containing doping material doped in the silicon-based powder material and 0.5-7 wt% of soft carbon material. However, in the application, the conductivity of the silicon-based negative electrode can only be improved by using phosphorus doping, the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the inner layer is low, and the improvement effect cannot be achieved, and the first efficiency cannot be obviously improved; in addition, the only layer of flexible soft carbon on the surface cannot play a rigid protection role in the volume expansion of the silicon-based negative electrode. The patent of application number 202110976701.9 discloses a germanium-doped silicon-like cathode material, a preparation method and an application thereof, wherein the germanium-doped silicon-like cathode material is formed by connecting nano frameworks and has three-dimensional through pore channels, germanium is uniformly dispersed in the silicon frameworks, and particles formed by the silicon frameworks are about 1-10 μm. However, in the method, germanium oxide particles are directly mixed with silicon powder, so that the atom doping effect is poor, the distribution of doping atoms is random, the effect of improving the primary efficiency can be achieved only to a certain extent, and the improvement on the lithium ion difficult to be extracted from the inner layer is limited; the germanium oxide particles and the silicon powder are directly mixed, an oxide doped layer cannot be formed in the silicon powder, the stress release of the silicon cathode from inside to outside cannot be slowed down, and the structural stability of the silicon cathode cannot be improved.
