Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium battery materials, and more specifically, relates to a porous carbon negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, lithium-ion batteries have become the mainstream technology in the energy storage field due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. As a core component of lithium-ion batteries, the performance of anode materials directly affects the battery's energy density, rate capability, and cycle stability. Although traditional graphite anode materials have been commercialized, their theoretical specific capacity is relatively low, at only 372mAh / g. They are also prone to problems such as lithium dendrite growth and structural collapse under high-rate charge and discharge conditions, making them difficult to meet the development needs of high-energy-density batteries.
[0003] Porous carbon materials have shown significant advantages in the field of lithium storage due to their adjustable pore structure, rich surface chemical properties and good electrical conductivity. By constructing a hierarchical porous structure, the lithium ion diffusion distance can be effectively shortened, active sites can be increased and volume expansion can be buffered, while heteroatom doping can adjust the electronic structure of carbon materials, improve surface wettability and lithium storage activity. However, the porous carbon materials prepared by existing technologies still have key shortcomings. For example, the traditional template method is difficult to achieve precise control of multi-level pores, and the single pore structure leads to limited electrolyte wettability and ion transfer efficiency; the synergistic optimization effect of single element doping on electronic conductivity and lithium storage sites is limited, and there is a lack of synergistic effect between multiple elements; in addition, the interface stability between carbon materials and electrolytes is insufficient, which easily triggers the repeated generation of SEI films, resulting in increased polarization impedance and capacity attenuation. Therefore, the present invention provides a porous carbon negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries and a preparation method thereof to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a porous carbon negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries and a preparation method thereof. The material obtained by this preparation method has a hierarchical porous structure and a high specific surface area, and realizes the synergistic doping of multiple elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and molybdenum, which effectively promotes the rapid transmission and efficient storage of lithium ions, significantly improves the battery rate performance and cycle stability, reduces polarization impedance, and further optimizes the electronic conductivity and interface stability of the material, thereby showing excellent comprehensive electrochemical performance in high-energy-density lithium-ion battery applications.

[0021] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a porous carbon negative electrode material for a lithium ion battery, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0022] A porous carbon negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries is prepared by the above preparation method.
[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. The present invention prepares a porous carbon anode material by polymerizing functional monomers and chain transfer agents in stages, combining them with a core-shell template formed by nano-molybdenum trioxide and zinc acetate dihydrate, sodium chloride, and polymethyl methacrylate microspheres for composite pore formation. This material undergoes gradient carbonization and post-treatment to produce a porous carbon anode material. In this material, the core-shell template pyrolyzes to form a mesoporous and macroporous framework, and its residual molybdenum species migrate to the carbon layer to achieve atomic-level doping. Sodium chloride melt etching creates a microporous network, which synergizes with the macropores formed by the thermal decomposition of polymethyl methacrylate to form hierarchical mass transfer channels, significantly improving specific surface area and electrolyte wettability. The nitrogen and phosphorus heterocyclic structures introduced by the functional monomers are converted into pyridinic nitrogen, graphitic nitrogen, and CP bond active sites during carbonization. These structures, in synergy with molybdenum doping, optimize the electron cloud distribution, reduce the lithium ion adsorption energy barrier, and promote surface capacitance-dominated rapid lithium storage behavior. The multi-level pores and rigid carbon framework jointly buffer volume strain, inhibit structural pulverization, and ensure long-term cycling stability.
[0025] 2. The functional monomer of the present invention is prepared by condensing 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and 4-aminopyridine through lanthanide catalysis and then reacting with phenylphosphonyl dichloride. Its rigid pyridine and imine skeletons maintain structural integrity during the carbonization process, and provide fixed-point doping sites of nitrogen and phosphorus elements for the copolymer as heteroatom doping precursors. The intermolecular forces of the copolymer are also enhanced through the conjugated structure, so that the carbon skeleton formed after carbonization has a more ordered graphitized structure tendency, thereby improving the electronic conductivity; the nitrogen atoms in the pyridine ring exist in the carbon matrix in three forms: pyrrole type, pyridine type and graphite type, respectively, by providing lone pairs of electrons, forming defect sites and enhancing structural stability, thereby synergistically improving the electron transmission efficiency and lithium storage capacity of the material; the phosphorus atoms in the phosphono group are embedded in the carbon network in the C3-P=O configuration, acting as Lewis acid sites to enhance the chemical adsorption of lithium ions, thereby achieving the dual effects of physical lithium storage and chemical lithium storage during the charge and discharge process.
[0026] 3. The chain transfer agent of the present invention is prepared by grafting sodium lignin sulfonate with a thiocarbonyl-containing compound. The molecular self-assembly effect induced by the sulfonic acid groups causes the copolymer to form a cross-linked network, which is then converted into a three-dimensional continuous conductive framework after carbonization. The controllable chain scission characteristics of the thiocarbonyl groups regulate the polymer molecular weight distribution and avoid pore closure caused by excessive graphitization of the carbon skeleton. The lignin-derived biomass carbon source provides intrinsic oxygen and sulfur doping sites. The sulfur atoms enhance the reaction activity of the carbon layer edge in the thiophene-S configuration, synergistically optimizing the SEI membrane components with nitrogen and phosphorus doping to form a Li3N-Li2S composite interface layer with high ionic conductivity.

[0078] 22 parts of sodium lignin sulfonate, 5 parts of 4-cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl]pentanoic acid and 100 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide were added to a three-necked flask and reacted at 80°C under nitrogen protection for 6 hours. After the reaction, the reaction solution was added to acetone with a volume 7 times that of the reaction solution for precipitation, and the chain transfer agent was obtained by filtering, washing and vacuum drying.
[0079] Comparative Example 1
[0080] A method for preparing a porous carbon anode material for lithium-ion batteries differs from Example 4 in that the functional monomer synthesis step is omitted, and pyridine monomers are directly involved in the polymerization reaction. Specifically, in step S1, 28 parts of 4-vinylpyridine are directly substituted for the functional monomer. The remaining chain transfer agent, reaction solvent, and polymerization conditions are the same as in Example 4.
[0081] Comparative Example 2
[0082] A method for preparing a porous carbon negative electrode material for a lithium-ion battery differs from Example 4 in that the phenylphosphonyl dichloride reaction is omitted from the preparation of the functional monomer. Specifically, in the synthesis of the functional monomer, only the reflux reaction of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and 4-aminopyridine is performed to produce the intermediate, and the subsequent reaction step of the intermediate with phenylphosphonyl dichloride is omitted, i.e., the introduction path for phosphorus doping is omitted. The unmodified intermediate is subsequently used to replace the fully synthesized functional monomer in the preparation of the copolymer. The remaining chain transfer agent, polymerization reaction, and post-treatment conditions are the same as those in Example 4.
[0083] Comparative Example 3
[0084] A method for preparing a porous carbon anode material for lithium-ion batteries differs from Example 4 in that, in the preparation of the core-shell template, the ball milling and calcination process of nano-molybdenum trioxide and zinc acetate dihydrate is abandoned, and instead, equal parts by weight of zinc oxide powder are used as a single template. Specifically, in step S2, the core-shell template is directly replaced with 15 parts of zinc oxide powder, without ball milling and high-temperature calcination. Subsequently, the single template is mixed with other components to prepare a precursor, which is then carbonized. The remaining conditions for copolymer synthesis, pore-forming agent addition, and carbonization post-treatment are the same as those in Example 4.
[0085] Comparative Example 4
[0086] A method for preparing a porous carbon negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries differs from Example 4 in that, during the chain transfer agent preparation process, unmodified sodium lignin sulfonate is used directly in the polymerization reaction, eliminating the grafting reaction step with 4-cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl]pentanoic acid. Specifically, in step S1, 8 parts of unmodified sodium lignin sulfonate are directly used in place of the modified chain transfer agent and added to the polymerization system to participate in the reaction. The remaining functional monomers, polymerization reaction conditions, and post-processing steps are the same as those in Example 4.
[0087] Comparative Example 5
[0088] A method for preparing a porous carbon anode material for lithium-ion batteries differs from Example 4 in that polymethyl methacrylate microspheres are not added during precursor preparation in step S3. Specifically, sodium chloride is used as the sole pore-forming agent for ball milling with the copolymer and core-shell template, without the addition of polymethyl methacrylate microspheres. The remaining conditions for copolymer synthesis, core-shell template preparation, and carbonization post-treatment are the same as those in Example 4.
[0089] Comparative Example 6
[0090] A method for preparing a porous carbon negative electrode material for a lithium-ion battery differs from Example 4 in that nano-molybdenum trioxide is not used in step S2. Specifically, 15 parts of zinc acetate dihydrate are ball-milled and calcined at high temperature, without adding nano-molybdenum trioxide. The molybdenum-free template is then mixed with other components to prepare a precursor and carbonized. The remaining copolymer synthesis, pore-forming agent addition, and carbonization post-treatment conditions are the same as those in Example 4.
[0091] The porous carbon negative electrode materials for lithium ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were tested for pore structure performance. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0092] The porous carbon negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were mixed with acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride in a mass ratio of 8:1:1. The mixture was prepared using N-methylpyrrolidone as a solvent to form a slurry. The slurry was then coated onto copper foil and, after drying, cut into electrode sheets. CR2032 button cells were assembled in a glove box using a lithium metal sheet as the counter electrode, Celgard 2400 as the separator, and a 1 mol / L, 1:1, volume ratio of LiPF6-EC / DEC as the electrolyte. The electrochemical performance of the assembled lithium-ion batteries was tested. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0097] Judging from the test data in Tables 1 and 2, the synergistic optimization effect of material structure and performance is significant. Examples 1-4 exhibit excellent pore structure characteristics and electrochemical performance, with Example 4 being the best. Its high specific surface area of 2952m² / g, balanced micropore and mesopore volumes of 0.83cm³ / g and 1.30cm³ / g, and high total pore volume of 2.28cm³ / g indicate that the hierarchical pore channel is successfully constructed, which is due to the synergistic pore-forming effect of the core-shell template, sodium chloride, and polymethyl methacrylate microspheres. The core-shell template pyrolysis forms a mesoporous skeleton and residual molybdenum doping sites, sodium chloride melt etching produces a microporous network, and polymethyl methacrylate decomposition contributes to macroporous channels. The three together optimize the ion transport path and electrolyte wettability. At the same time, the high electronic conductivity of 11.05 S / cm and the low charge transfer resistance of 11.73Ω in Example 4 verify the synergistic effect of multi-element doping with nitrogen, phosphorus, and molybdenum, that is, the pyridinic nitrogen / graphitic nitrogen and CP bond active sites provided by the functional monomer optimize the electron cloud distribution, molybdenum doping improves the conductivity of the carbon layer, and sulfur doping derived from the chain transfer agent promotes the formation of a Li3N-Li2S composite interface layer with high ionic conductivity, which jointly reduce the lithium ion diffusion energy barrier.
[0098] In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, 4-vinylpyridine was directly used to replace the functional monomer, which lost the advantages of phosphorus doping and rigid skeleton, resulting in a 38% decrease in electronic conductivity and a 10% decrease in cycle retention rate, proving that the molecular design of the functional monomer is indispensable for the synergistic doping of multiple elements; in Comparative Example 2, the phenylphosphine dichloride modification step was omitted, and no phosphorus doping was introduced, and the charge transfer impedance increased by 129%, highlighting the key role of phosphorus atoms as Lewis acid sites for lithium ion chemical adsorption; in Comparative Example 3, single zinc oxide was used to replace the core-shell template, resulting in a 28% decrease in specific surface area and a 33% attenuation of 5C rate capacity, reflecting the core-shell structure. The double failure of mesopore construction and molybdenum doping; Comparative Example 4 uses unmodified sodium lignin sulfonate, and due to the lack of molecular weight regulation of thiocarbonyl and contribution of sulfur doping, the electronic conductivity decreases by 46% and the interface impedance increases by 151%; Comparative Example 5 does not add polymethyl methacrylate microspheres, the mesopore volume is reduced by 12% and the loss of macropores causes the total pore volume to decrease by 21%, confirming that the hierarchical channels require multi-template coordination; Comparative Example 6 omits nano-molybdenum trioxide, and due to the lack of molybdenum species doping and template skeleton support, the cycle retention rate decreases by 12%, revealing the necessity of molybdenum element to stabilize the carbon skeleton and improve interface stability.
