Abstract:
      Silicon-carbon (Si-C) materials are considered to be the most promising next-generation high-energy-density lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes. However, at present, the complex preparation process of high-quality Si-C anode materials for lithium-ion battery anodes and the high cost of Si raw materials result in high prices of Si-C materials, which seriously hinder the large-scale application of Si-C materials in the field of LIBs. This paper uses low-cost cutting waste Si powder as the Si source and graphite as the carbon source, and uses a simple high-energy ball milling method to prepare waste Si powder-graphite composite material (WSi-G). The properties and characteristics of waste Si (WSi) powder, the microstructure of Si-C composites and their electrochemical properties was systematically studied. The results show that the cycle performance of micron-sized WSi is rapidly decayed when it is directly used as a LIB anode. Preparation of silicon carbon materials by ball milling exhibits excellent cycle stability when used in the anode of LIB, and the reversible specific capacity is stable above 428 mA·h/g at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 for 160 cycles.
