Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an anode composition, an anode, and a battery, and more particularly to an anode composition, an anode, and a battery that can improve the safety, service life, stability, and capacity of the battery. [Background technology]

[0002] Current battery research and development targets high energy density, high operating voltage, fast charging, and long cycle life. The most commonly used anode materials are carbon or graphite. However, during cycling at high currents, carbon or graphite, which has a mostly layered structure, cannot withstand the rapid insertion and removal of ions, leading to irreversible structural collapse and reduced capacity and shelf life. Furthermore, excessive current density can easily cause polarization, where lithium ions are reduced to lithium metal on the electrode surface, forming lithium dendrites, which can lead to short circuits within the battery and raise safety concerns. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Furthermore, since the theoretical energy density of graphite is far below the power requirements of large-scale power devices such as electric vehicles, the introduction of silicon-based materials with high energy density as new anode materials has become a trend in the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, research has shown that when batteries with silicon-based materials undergo repeated charge-discharge cycles, lithium ions repeatedly enter and exit the silicon-based material, causing excessive volume changes and even causing material destruction, which severely affects the structural stability of the anode and significantly reduces the battery's service life. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The present disclosure applies a composition comprising a lithium-titanium composite oxide and various structural element composite oxides to an anode material. The uniform distribution of the structural element composite oxides around the lithium-titanium composite oxide not only simplifies the manufacturing process but also contributes to improving the structural stability and energy density of the anode composition. The lithium-titanium composite oxide and the structural element composite oxide are composed in an appropriate ratio, contributing to improving the charge / discharge efficiency and energy density of the battery. The anode composition is an oxide, and its high heat resistance contributes to improving the safety and service life of the battery in high-temperature environments. The anode composition exhibits small crystal volume changes and high mechanical stability during the redox process, allowing it to accommodate high current densities and maintain the integrity of the overall structure, thereby avoiding the problem of reduced battery cycle life due to structural damage. The multiple oxides in the anode composition have similar redox potentials, which allows for more uniform formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) during the charge / discharge process. This not only mitigates the problems of capacity loss due to lithium ion consumption and increased overall battery impedance, but also prevents the formation of lithium dendrites, thereby improving battery safety during use.

[0005] The present disclosure provides an anode composition comprising composition particles and dispersed particles, both of which are active materials. The composition particles comprise a lithium-titanium composite oxide, which comprises lithium and titanium. The dispersed particles comprise a structural element composite oxide, which comprises a structural element, which comprises tin and at least two elements selected from the group consisting of magnesium, aluminum, silicon, calcium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, gallium, and germanium. The weight ratio of the composition particles to the anode composition is pWlt, and the weight ratio of the dispersed particles to the anode composition is pWd, satisfying the condition 0.10≦pWd / pWlt≦3.00.
