PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SILICON-CONTAINING MATERIALS IN A STIRRED-TANK REACTOR

A process for producing silicon-containing materials. Where the silicon-containing materials are produced by thermal decomposition of silicon precursors in the presence of porous particles and silicon is deposited within pores and on a surface of the porous particles. The thermal decomposition of the silicon precursors takes place in the reaction zone of a gas-traversed reactor and the particles are circulated in the reaction zone during the thermal decomposition by using a stirrer which is close-clearance in the heated regions and the stirring mechanism is in close-clearance in accordance with equation 1
