Silicon-Carbon Anode Materials Processing Technology

Among advanced anode materials applied to lithium-ion batteries, silicon–carbon anodes have been explored extensively due to their high capacity, good operation potential, environmental friendliness and high abundance. Silicon–carbon anodes have demonstrated great potential as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries because they have perfectly improved the problems that existed in silicon anodes, such as the particle pulverization, shedding and failures of electrochemical performance during lithiation and delithiation.

Li22Si5 is formed from silicon material at high temperature, corresponding specific capacity is 4200mAh/g, it’s 11.29 times that of graphite anode material. At present, TSLA 4680 battery, Amperex 265kWh/kg NCM ternary battery, Guoxuan High-tech 210Wh/kg LFP electric core and GAC Sponge silicon battery pack all use silicon carbon anode technology, and the driving mileage has been increased from 300km to 600km or even more than 1000km. There’s still a lot of development space with the progress of technology in the future.

The whole set of equipment is processed by precision CNC machine tools. Each production step has special production and assembly requirements. The machine is easy to disassemble. Combined with characteristics of materials to be ground, it can ensure the purity and output of final products.

Fluidized Bed Jet Mill Grinding Process

After the compressed air is filtered and dried, it is sprayed into the grinding chamber at high speed through the Laval nozzle. At the intersection of multiple high-pressure airflows, the materials are repeatedly collided, rubbed, and sheared to be crushed. The crushed materials rise with the suction of the fan. The airflow moves to the classification zone. Under the action of the strong centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating classification turbine, the coarse and fine materials are separated.The fine particles that meet the particle size requirements enter the cyclone separator and dust collector through the classification wheel for collection, and the coarse particles descend to the crushing zone and continue to be crushed.

Air Classifier Process

Under the action of the fan, the material moves to the classification area at a high speed from the lower inlet of the classifier with the updraft. Under the action of the strong centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating classification turbine, the material is separated, and the fine particles meeting the particle size requirements enter the cyclone separator or dust collector through the blade gap of the classification wheel for collection. The velocity of some fine particles entrained by coarse particles disappears after hitting the wall, and then decreases to the secondary air outlet along the wall of the cylinder. Through the strong washing effect of the secondary air, the coarse and fine particles are separated, the fine particles rise to the secondary classification in the classification area, and the coarse particles drop to the discharge port for discharge.
