  • Patent number: 9362566
    Abstract: An anode composite material for lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof. The composite material is a composite material formed by compounding at least one of SiCO, SiCNO, SiCN and SiBCN with LiaMbPO4, wherein 0.95?a?1.1, 0.95?b?1.1, and M is at least one of Fe, Co, Ni and Mn. The content of at least one of SiCO, SiCNO, SiCN and SiBCN in the anode composite material is in a range of 1-20 wt % of the total weight of the composite material. The composite material formed by compounding at least one of SiCO, SiCNO, SiCN and SiBCN with LiaMbPO4 is obtained by adding LiaMbPO4 into at least one organosilicon polymer of polysiloxane, polysilazane, and polyborosilazane, and then curing, crosslinking, and pyrolyzing. Compared with LiaMbPO4, the composite material has a notable improvement in electrochemistry performance and tap density.

  • Patent number: 8771498
    Abstract: An electrochemical method for producing Si nanopowder, Si nanowires and/or Si nanotubes directly from compound SiX or a mixture containing a silicon compound SiX, the method comprises: providing an electrolysis cell having a cathode, an anode and an electrolyte, using the compound SiX or the mixture containing compound SiX as a cathode and immersing the cathode in an electrolyte comprising a metal compound molten salt, applying a potential between the cathode and the anode in the electrolysis cell, and forming one or more of Si nanopowder, Si nanowires and Si nanotubes on the cathode electrode. The method has advantages of: 1) shorter production processing, 2) inexpensive equipment, 3) convenient operation, 4) reduction of contaminate, 5) easily available feed materials, and 6) easy to achieve continuous production. This is a new field of using electrochemical method for producing one-dimensional Si nano material, and a new method of producing Si nanopowder, Si nanowires and Si nanotubes.
