Problems solved by technology

Graphite anode materials are currently the main anode materials used in industrial lithium-ion batteries, and their theoretical specific capacity is only 372mAh / g, which cannot meet the requirements of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries for anode materials.
[0003] Silicon-based anode material is a new generation of lithium-ion battery anode material with high specific capacity (the theoretical specific capacity of pure silicon is 4200mAh / g). 70-80%, which leads to the need to add more positive electrode materials to supplement lithium ions in the preparation of full batteries, or add lithium sheets to the negative electrode for pre-lithiation
The above measures will greatly increase the cost, and the addition of lithium chips will bring performance and safety hazards
At the same time, there are problems such as large volume change and easy crushing during the charge-discharge cycle, which makes it difficult to be widely used in commercial lithium-ion batteries.
[0004] In order to improve the first coulombic efficiency of silicon-based negative electrode materials, companies such as Hefei Gaoxuan have adopted the pre-lithiation of negative electrode sheets (application publication number CN 105845894 A). Since this process uses lithium metal thin films, it is very important for equipment and The requirements of the production environment are extremely strict, which will greatly increase the production cost, and there are performance and safety hazards in the use of batteries
It is reported in the literature and patent (application publication number CN 109301232 A) that disproportionation is used to improve efficiency, but in untreated silicon-based negative electrode materials after disproportionation, crystallized silicon dioxide will coat crystalline silicon, resulting in a decrease in specific capacity. Even reduced cycle performance
The use of lithium salts to pre-lithiate silicon-based materials is also a commonly used method for improving the first effect (application publication number CN108269979 A), and the lithium silicate inside the silicon-based materials prepared by this method will reduce the specific capacity and conductivity of the material, thereby reducing Overall electrochemical performance of the material

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a silicon-based negative electrode material and a preparation method thereof. The silicon-based negative electrode material includes: silicon oxide particles; a lithium silicate / carbon composite layer coated on the surface of the silicon oxide particles. The carbon contained in the lithium silicate / carbon composite layer can increase the electronic conductivity of the material, and the lithium silicate can increase the ion conductivity of the material, and generally improve the electrical conductivity of the material. The lithium silicate / carbon composite coating helps to form a stable SEI, reduces the consumption of lithium ions, and can also serve as a buffer layer to ensure the stability of silicon oxide particles. Therefore, this silicon oxide / lithium silicate / carbon composite negative electrode material is a high specific capacity silicon-based negative electrode material with high first Coulombic efficiency, low cost, stable and controllable performance and structure.
