    摘要: A method of producing multiple particles of silicon oxide SiOx, including (a) preparing a plurality of silicon alloy particles MySi, wherein M is a metal or semi-metal element present on a surface or in the interior of a silicon particle; (b) heating the silicon alloy particles to a first temperature to form a plurality of composite particles, wherein a composite particle comprises a layer of silicon dioxide, SiO2, at least partially covering or encapsulating an underlying silicon alloy particle; (c) heating the composite particles to a second temperature under a vacuum or protective inert atmosphere, allowing the silicon dioxide to react with the underlying silicon alloy to form substantially silicon oxide having M dispersed therein and vaporizing the silicon oxide; and (d) cooling the silicon oxide vapor to form solid silicon oxide and using mechanical means to make the solid silicon oxide into multiple particles of silicon oxide.
