Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion battery materials, and in particular to a multi-layer silicon-carbon negative electrode material and a multi-stage fluidized bed continuous preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high operating voltage, high energy density and environmental friendliness. They are widely used in portable electronic devices and have expanded to electric vehicles and energy storage fields.
[0003] Anode materials are a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries, but the most common anode material on the market is graphite, whose reversible specific capacity is already close to its theoretical specific capacity (372 mAh / g), leaving very limited room for improvement and unable to meet future development needs. Therefore, silicon-based materials, with a theoretical specific capacity of up to 4200 mAh / g, are considered the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon has poor conductivity, and as an anode material, it undergoes significant volume expansion during lithium intercalation and deintercalation, leading to silicon particle shattering and severely impacting the battery's cycle performance and service life.
[0004] In order to solve the problems of structural damage caused by the huge volume expansion (≈300%) of silicon negative electrode materials during charging and discharging, and loss of electrical contact between the negative electrode material and the current collector, it is necessary to compound silicon materials with carbon materials with good conductivity and small volume expansion to prepare negative electrode materials that meet relevant standards.
[0005] The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN117735530A discloses a preparation method for producing silicon-carbon negative electrode materials using a two-stage reactor method, which can produce silicon particles ranging from nanometers to hundreds of nanometers and realize online in-situ carbon coating. However, this method has a complex structure and requires an external plasma device or microwave and medium frequency reaction device, etc., and it is difficult to achieve large-scale production and cannot meet market demand. The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN117352703A discloses a method for preparing multi-level silicon-carbon negative electrode materials using a fluidized bed, but the process requires continuous switching of silicon source gas, mixed gas and protective gas, making it difficult to achieve continuous production of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials. Moreover, when the silicon deposition temperature and the carbon coating temperature are different, a long heating / cooling and insulation process is required, which greatly reduces the production efficiency and is difficult to meet the needs of industrial production.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multilayer silicon-carbon negative electrode material with a uniform hierarchical structure that can effectively inhibit the volume expansion of the material during charging and discharging, as well as a simple and easy-to-operate continuous preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The continuous process includes three processes: silicon deposition, restricted oxidation and carbon coating;
[0015] The silicon deposition process is carried out by cracking silicon source gas at high temperature;
[0016] The restricted oxidation process is carried out by using a silicon source gas replacement and oxidation method;
[0017] The carbon coating process is carried out by cracking carbon source gas at high temperature.
[0018] The process sequence of the multi-stage fluidized bed continuous preparation method of the present invention includes but is not limited to: the material obtained in the silicon deposition process is subjected to limited oxidation and / or carbon coating to obtain the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, or the material obtained in the limited oxidation process is subjected to silicon deposition and / or carbon coating to obtain the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, or the material obtained in the carbon coating process is subjected to silicon deposition and / or limited oxidation to obtain the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.
[0019] For example, a silicon-carbon anode material with a Si@C double-layer structure can be made through silicon deposition and carbon coating processes in sequence;
[0020] A silicon-carbon negative electrode material having a Si@C@Si@C four-layer structure can be prepared by sequentially undergoing silicon deposition, carbon coating, silicon deposition, and carbon coating processes;
