As can be seen from table 1, the negative electrode sheets of examples 1 to 8 had high compacted density, and the batteries of examples 1 to 8 had high capacity retention, i.e., the batteries of examples 1 to 8 had both high energy density and good cycle performance. This is because the hard carbon particles together with the silica particles can improve the problem of low compaction density of the hard carbon particles; meanwhile, as the hardness of the silica particles is higher than that of the hard carbon particles, the silica particles can play a role of rollers in the cold pressing process of the negative electrode plate, and the compaction density of the negative electrode plate is further improved; and the silicon oxide particles are distributed at the gap positions of the hard carbon particles, so that the hard carbon particles can generate acting force on the silicon oxide particles with volume expansion in the lithium intercalation process, the problem of capacity loss of the silicon oxide particles caused by the volume expansion is solved, and the cycle performance of the electrochemical device is improved. The negative electrode active material of comparative example 1 included only hard carbon particles resulting in the lowest compacted density, and the negative electrode active material of comparative example 2 included only silicon oxide particles resulting in the lowest capacity retention.

As is clear from Table 2, when the particle diameter D1 of the silica particles and the particle diameter D2 of the hard carbon particles satisfy D1.ltoreq. 0.414D2, the battery has both high energy density and good cycle performance. In comparative example 3, D1/D2 was greater than 0.414, while the compacted density and capacity retention were significantly reduced.

The preparation and performance test of the lithium ion batteries of examples 15 to 20 were performed with reference to example 7, with the main differences: the specific surface areas of the silica particles and hard carbon particles are different, see in particular Table 3. In examples 15 to 20, the proportion of the silicon oxide particles in the anode active material was 35wt%, and the proportion of the hard carbon particles in the anode active material was 65wt%.
