Problems solved by technology

At present, the main problem that hinders the commercialization of Sn-based alloy anode materials is that during the process of lithium ion intercalation and extraction, the volume change rate of the material is very large, which easily leads to the destruction of the structure of the alloy anode, thereby affecting the charge-discharge cycle stability of the electrode.
In this material, due to the existence of two active components, Sn and Sb, to participate in the electrode reaction, the volume ex...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a preparation method of lithium-ion battery by Sn-Cu-Co alloy negative-pole materials, pertaining to the art of lithium-ion battery technology. The method is a carbon thermal reduction method to calculate the amount of Sn, Cu and Co oxides according to the Sn/(Cu+Co) atomic ratio of 3:1-2:3; wherein, the atomic ratio of Cu/Co is 5:1-1:5; the amount of carbon powder is calculated in terms of CO which is reduced from the oxygen in all oxides. After being evenly mixed and ground, the raw material is placed in a flowing protection atmosphere so as to rise to the required target temperature at a heating rate of 2-30 DEG C per minute and after a certain time of insulation, the temperature of the raw material declines to the room temperature with the cooling of furnace. The present invention has the advantages of low material cost, simple preparation process, less time consumption, high yield, good safety, great application value in material preparation and suitability for mass production. The Sn-Cu-Co alloy has the advantages that crystallization is higher; the inside is full of micron particles in a loose structure with a smaller surface, which are difficult to reunite in the electrode cycling process; the existence of the two non-active components Cu and Co greatly releases the volume changes in the electrode cycling process and is conducive to enhancing the stability of the electrode cycling.

Example Embodiment

[0020] Example 1:
[0021] Accurately weigh 1g of SnO, 0.1476g of CuO, 0.1391g of CoO, and 0.1338g of activated carbon as the initial raw materials (the molar ratio of raw materials is 4:1:1:10, which is equivalent to the atomic ratio of Sn/Cu/Co 4:1:1), After the mixture is uniformly ground, it is placed in a flowing nitrogen atmosphere and raised to 1000°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min, kept for 3 hours, then cut off the power, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain a tin-copper-cobalt alloy.

[0022] Example 2:
[0023] Accurately weigh 1g SnO 2 , 0.5279g CuO, 0.1065gCo 3 O 4 , And 0.2604g activated carbon as the initial raw materials (the molar ratio of raw materials is 15:15:1:49, which is equivalent to the atomic ratio of Sn/Cu/Co of 5:5:1). After grinding the mixture uniformly, place it in flowing argon In a gas atmosphere, the temperature is increased to 900°C at a heating rate of 5°C/min, and the temperature is kept for 2 hours, then the power is cut off, and the tin-copper-cobalt alloy is obtained by natural cooling to room temperature. The XRD phase analysis result of the obtained sample shows that the synthesized product is Cu 6 Sn 5 , Sn and Co 3 Sn 2 The alloy composite has no oxide impurity phase.
[0024] The synthesized material is made into slurry with 10wt% conductive agent acetylene black and 10wt% adhesive PVDF, which is evenly coated on the copper foil, and after drying, it becomes a circular pole piece. The lithium sheet is used as the negative electrode, and the obtained pole piece is used as the positive electrode. The electrolyte uses ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) (1∶1∶1) ternary electrolyte, diaphragm It is a polypropylene microporous membrane Celgard 2400, which is assembled into a simulated battery in a glove box filled with argon and subjected to constant current charge and discharge tests. The charge and discharge current is 100mA/g, and the charge and discharge voltage range is controlled between 0.02-1.5 V. The test results show that the reversible capacity of the material is 250 mAh/g, and the capacity retention rate after 40 cycles is 93%.
