Embodiment 1

[0057] As the anode material, graphite capped with 5% by weight LTO particles and with an average particle size of 10 μm, Super P as the conductive material, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the binder were used in a weight ratio of 90:5:5 After mixing, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) was added to the mixture to prepare a slurry. The slurry was stirred vigorously with an overhead stirrer for about 2 hours. The prepared anode slurry was coated on a copper current collector by a doctor blade to form a film, and then the film was dried in a vacuum oven at 90° C., thereby manufacturing an anode.

[0058] LiCoO as the cathode active material 2 , Super P as a conductive material and PVDF as a binder were mixed in a weight ratio of 94:3:3, and then the mixture was dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). The prepared dispersion liquid was coated on an aluminum foil by a doctor blade, and then dried in a vacuum oven at 90° C. to manufacture a cathode.

Embodiment 2

[0061] To modify the surface of carbon-based material particles, graphite was added into a 65 wt% nitric acid bath, and then the slurry was stirred at 500 rpm for 24 hours using a magnetic stirrer. Finally, the carbon-based material particles in nitric acid were collected by filter paper, washed 3 times with deionized water, and then dried.

[0062] A secondary lithium battery was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1, but using the carbon-based material particles pretreated with 65 wt% nitric acid mentioned in this paragraph as the anode material.

[0063] For any figure or range of values ​​for a given characteristic, a figure or parameter from one range can be combined with another figure or parameter from a different range of the same characteristic to produce a range of values.

Abstract

The invention discloses composite anodes for a lithium ion battery containing carbon material core particles and a coating layer of LTO particles over the carbon material core particles, the coating layer of LTO particles at least partially covering the carbon material core particles. Also disclosed are anodes for a lithium ion battery containing activating treated surface modified carbon materialparticles, wherein at least one of an inorganic acid or an oxidizing agent is used to treat and modify the surface of the carbon material particles.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on and claims priority to US Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 15 / 441,475, filed February 24, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Disclosed is a surface modification technology for carbonaceous anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, which improves rate performance and safety at low and high temperatures. Background technique [0004] Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in various fields such as electronic devices, power tools, medical equipment, and electric vehicles. However, general LIBs have a relatively narrow operating temperature, which limits their applications in extreme environments. For vehicles and certain defensive applications, operating temperatures of -30°C or lower are required, but LIBs typically exhibit poor performance in this temperature range. Generally speaking, when the temperature drops to -20°C, bo...
