A negative electrode material for a lithium ion battery comprises a carbon material, a silicon nanomaterial, and a first solvent. The carbon material comprises carbon nanotubes. The carbon material and the silicon nanomaterial are uniformly mixed in the first solvent. The weight percentage of the silicon nanomaterial is between 1% and 30%, and the amount of the carbon material is 1% to 30% of the amount of the silicon nanomaterial. A negative electrode composite slurry for a lithium ion battery comprises the negative electrode material and a graphite mixture material. The graphite mixture material comprises graphite and a second solvent. The graphite is uniformly mixed in the second solvent, and the weight percentage of the graphite is between 20% and 40%.

The present invention provides a method for reducing metal ions (for example, silver ions) and stably dispersing metal nanoparticles by nanosilicate platelets. An organic dispersant, nanosilicate platelets and a metal ionic solution are mixed to perform a reductive reaction, wherein the organic dispersant is tri-sodium citrate dihydrate (SCD), chitosan or polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), to produce a mixture of stably dispersed metal nanoparticles.

The present invention provides an organic/inorganic compositive dispersant and a method for producing the same. The compositive dispersant comprises a complex of inorganic clay and an organic surfactant. The compositive dispersant is produced by reacting inorganic clay with the organic surfactant in a solvent to generate a complex. The inorganic clay is layered or platelet. The organic surfactant is an anionic surfactant such as alkyl sulfates, or a nonionic surfactant such as octylphenol polyethoxylate and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether. The compositive dispersant may be used to produce electrolytes of a solar cell or to increase the hardness of an epoxy resin.

The compositive dispersant comprises a complex of inorganic clay and an organic surfactant. The compositive dispersant is produced by reacting inorganic clay with the organic surfactant in a solvent to generate a complex. The inorganic clay is layered or platelet. The organic surfactant is an anionic surfactant such as alkyl sulfates, a nonionic surfactant such as octylphenol polyethoxylate and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, or a cationic surfactant such as fatty (C12&#x2dc;C32) quaternary ammonium salts and fatty (C12&#x2dc;C32) quaternary ammonium chlorides.

A method for producing random form of nanosilicate platelets comprises mixing and acidifying an exfoliating agent with an inorganic acid to form an acidified exfoliating agent; intercalating layered inorganic silicate clay with the acidified exfoliating agent to form a mixture; and dissolving the mixture in a solvent and reacting it with a hydroxide or chloride of alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal. The hyperbranched polyamines serving as the exfoliating agent are prepared by polymerizing poly(oxypropylene)-triamine and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA). Hydrophilic amine groups of the exfoliating agent are acidified and then reacted with the layered inorganic silicate clay through cation exchange reaction and physical clay exfoliation to give random form of nanosilicate platelets.
