Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing Si/C composite particles, characterised in that mixtures containing silicon particles, one or more oxygen-free polymers, one or more carbon additives based on a carbon modification and one or more liquid dispersing agents are dried by spray drying and the pre-composite particles thus obtained are thermally treated.

Abstract: The invention provides processes for producing precomposite particles by mixing silicon particles, polyacrylonitrile and one or more carbon additives (C additives) based on one carbon polymorph, optionally one or more organic pore formers and optionally one or more inorganic additives, each in the form of a powder, wherein no solvent is added before and during the mixing, and the inorganic additives are selected from the group comprising halides of the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, carbonates of the alkali metals, zinc oxide, magnesium carbonate and nickel sulfide, wherein the polyacrylonitrile, the silicon, particles and/or the C additives are wholly or partly initially charged prior to the mixing or are wholly or partly metered in during the mixing, with the proviso that, without polyacrylonitrile in the initial charge, the silicon particles and/or the C additives are at least partly metered in together with polyacrylonitrile or after addition of polyacrylonitrile.
