Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of batteries, specifically to a method for preparing bio-based carbon black and its battery. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon black is an indispensable chemical raw material in the modern national economy, playing a vital role in many basic industrial sectors. For example, in the rubber industry, it is an important reinforcing agent and filler for rubber products; in the ink and coating industry, it is one of the most important additives affecting the blackness of products. In the plastics industry, carbon black not only colors and tones products but also prevents UV aging, provides antistatic properties, or promotes conductivity; in the synthetic leather industry, as a black colorant for coating polyurethane solutions, carbon black is an indispensable raw material for preparing black synthetic leather. In addition, carbon black is widely used in dry batteries, electrical and electronic components, high-purity artificial graphite materials, printing and dyeing, photographic film, gunpowder, cement, and casting.

[0003] In the 1920s, gas furnace carbon black production technology using natural gas as a raw material emerged. Due to rising natural gas prices, from the 1970s onwards, the oil furnace carbon black production process successfully replaced the original process, gaining widespread application worldwide and producing many new carbon black varieties with applications in new fields. With advancements in materials technology, particularly the development of the rubber industry, higher requirements have been placed on some basic performance indicators of carbon black, such as particle size, dispersion, and conductivity. Simultaneously, the economic model of sustainable development and the urgency of environmental protection also require reasonable innovations to existing production processes and raw material routes. Introducing new technologies into traditional processes is an important means of innovation; however, carbon black suitable for use as a high-end conductive agent in lithium-ion batteries remains lacking.

[0063] The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 1 is that Comparative Example 5 uses coconut shells as a carbon source, while Example 1 uses peanut shells as a carbon source.

[0064] Bio-based carbon black prepared in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were used as conductive agents for lithium-ion batteries, lithium iron phosphate (brand: Kejing; product number: P198-DF5) was used as the positive electrode material, and PVDF (brand: Arkema; ​​product model: MA-EN-BI-01) was used as the binder to prepare electrodes, and button cells were assembled. The discharge specific capacity (mAh / g) of the button half-cell after 1000 cycles at a current density of 100 mA / g, as well as the initial coulombic efficiency (%) and initial discharge specific capacity (mAh / g) of the button half-cell at a current density of 100 mA / g, were tested. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0065] LiFePO4, carbon black, and PVDF were mixed in a mass ratio of 94:3:3 and stirred into a slurry using N-methylpyrrolidone (brand: KELUD; product model: MA-EN-OT-01) as a solvent. The slurry was then coated onto aluminum foil (brand: KELUD; product model: MA-EN-CU-0N) and thoroughly dried to form the positive electrode.

The battery was assembled in an argon-protected glove box. After 24 hours of resting, the battery cycle performance was tested using a battery testing system from Wuhan Landian Electronics Co., Ltd.

[0066] Table 1

[0067] As shown in Table 1, when the bio-based carbon black prepared in Example 1 is used as a conductive agent in lithium-ion batteries, the initial coulombic efficiency is 98% at a current density of 100 mA / g, the initial discharge specific capacity is above 167 mAh / g, and the discharge specific capacity after 1000 cycles is 159 mAh / g. This indicates that the bio-based carbon black prepared using peanut shells as a carbon source according to the method described in this invention exhibits excellent cycle performance and high specific capacity as a conductive agent in lithium-ion batteries.

[0068] When the bio-based carbon black prepared in Examples 1 and 2-5 is used as a conductive agent in lithium-ion batteries, the analysis revealed that the high-temperature carbonization and matrix modification temperatures have a significant impact on the performance of the bio-based carbon black. The initial coulombic efficiency, initial discharge specific capacity, and discharge specific capacity after 1000 cycles of the bio-based carbon black in Examples 2-5 are much lower than those of the bio-based carbon black in Example 1. This indicates that in the process of preparing bio-based carbon black using the method described in this invention, the selection of high-temperature carbonization and matrix modification temperatures plays an important role in whether the prepared bio-based carbon black has excellent cycle performance when used as a conductive agent in lithium-ion batteries. When the high-temperature carbonization and matrix modification temperature is selected as 1100 ℃, the prepared bio-based carbon black exhibits excellent cycle performance, high initial coulombic efficiency, and high initial discharge specific capacity when used as a conductive agent in lithium-ion batteries. The main reason is that when the high-temperature carbonization and matrix modification temperature is below 1100 ℃, the carbonization and matrix modification of the synthesized material are insufficient, while when the high-temperature carbonization and matrix modification temperature is above 1100 ℃, the synthesized material undergoes structural collapse, resulting in an imperfect matrix structure, which is not conducive to the rapid diffusion of lithium ions.

[0069] When the bio-based carbon black prepared in Examples 1 and 6-8 is used as a conductive agent in lithium-ion batteries, the analysis revealed that the heating rate has a significant impact on the performance of the bio-based carbon black. The initial coulombic efficiency, initial discharge specific capacity, and discharge specific capacity after 1000 cycles of the bio-based carbon black in Examples 6-8 are much smaller than those of the bio-based carbon black in Example 1. This indicates that in the process of preparing bio-based carbon black using the method described in this invention, both excessively slow and excessively fast heating rates are not conducive to constructing a perfect bio-based carbon black structure. A heating rate of 6 °C / min is beneficial for the bio-based carbon black to obtain excellent lithium storage performance.

[0070] Studies in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 revealed that the bio-based carbon black prepared using sodium chloride powder as a matrix modifier exhibited significantly better initial coulombic efficiency, initial discharge specific capacity, and discharge specific capacity after 1000 cycles compared to bio-based carbon black prepared without sodium chloride powder as a matrix modifier. Studies in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2-3 further showed that the bio-based carbon black prepared using sodium chloride powder as a matrix modifier had significantly higher initial coulombic efficiency, initial discharge specific capacity, and discharge specific capacity after 1000 cycles than bio-based carbon black prepared using lithium chloride powder or potassium chloride powder as matrix modifiers. This indicates that the matrix modifier has a significant impact on the performance of the prepared bio-based carbon black; the addition of a matrix modifier helps improve the structure of the bio-based carbon black, and a more optimized bio-based carbon black structure facilitates the insertion and extraction of lithium ions.

[0071] The studies in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 4-5 revealed that the initial coulombic efficiency, initial discharge specific capacity, and discharge specific capacity after 1000 cycles of bio-based carbon black prepared using peanut shells as a carbon source were significantly higher than those prepared using bamboo or coconut shells as carbon sources. This indicates that the carbon source has a significant impact on the performance of the prepared bio-based carbon black, and a suitable carbon source is beneficial for obtaining structurally stable carbon black.

[0072] The above examples illustrate the present invention only to aid in understanding it and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas of this invention.
