Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium battery technology, and specifically to a method for preparing a lithium battery with high stability. Background Technology
[0002] With the development trend of the new energy industry, lithium batteries have become the main power source for mobile power supplies and portable electronic devices due to their advantages such as high energy density, green safety, and low self-discharge. In recent years, lithium batteries have been widely used, but they also face many problems, such as insufficient stability, high manufacturing costs, and environmental pollution. In particular, the safety of lithium batteries has received close attention in recent years. Reports of lithium battery fires in electric vehicles are frequent, causing countless losses. Ensuring the safety of lithium batteries is paramount, and improving battery stability while increasing capacity is currently a major research focus.
[0003] The stability of lithium batteries is determined by the composition of their positive and negative electrodes and the electrolyte. Lithium iron phosphate is commonly used as the positive electrode material in lithium batteries, but the negative electrode material is composed of both non-carbon and carbon materials. The negative electrode materials actually used in lithium-ion batteries are generally carbon materials, such as graphite, soft carbon (e.g., coke), and hard carbon. Negative electrode materials under investigation include nitrides, PAS, tin-based oxides, tin alloys, nanomaterials, and other intermetallic compounds. However, using non-carbon materials as negative electrode materials can lead to structural instability during lithium battery charging. To ensure the stability of the lithium battery, this invention selects carbon materials as the negative electrode material. Although carbon materials are stable as negative electrode materials, their specific capacity is lower than that of other non-carbon materials, resulting in a lower initial discharge specific capacity. To address these issues, this invention provides a method for preparing a stable negative electrode material with high specific capacity and a method for preparing a stable lithium battery.

[0036] Advantages of this invention:
[0037] Carbon materials have a significant advantage as anode materials for lithium batteries: they are stable. However, the theoretical energy density of carbon materials is lower than that of other materials; for example, the theoretical energy density of graphite is only 372 mAh·g. -1 To address the aforementioned issues, this invention selects carbon sources obtained from processed natural plants as the negative electrode material. The unique porosity and pore structure of natural plants allows lithium ions to freely intercalate and deintercalate. Combined with chemically derived carbon materials, this serves as the negative electrode material for lithium batteries, improving both battery capacity and stability. Modified and activated rice husks and coconut shells, along with mesophase carbon microspheres, are selected from natural plants to form the carbon negative electrode. This carbon negative electrode not only exhibits stable properties and high initial discharge specific capacity but also possesses excellent mechanical properties and high charge carrier mobility. Furthermore, NMP can form a stable slurry, allowing the positive and negative electrode materials to be uniformly and stably suspended in the solution, facilitating coating and resulting in more uniform and stable battery performance during subsequent preparation.
[0038] Lithium-ion battery electrodes are composed of active materials, binders, current collectors, and other components. The binder acts like a neural network connecting the various parts of the electrode system, bonding the active materials and the electrode substrate together and establishing electronic and ion conduction pathways. This influences the initial discharge specific capacity, stability, and cycle performance of the positive and negative electrode materials, as well as the battery's capacity.
[0039] Currently, the most common binder is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which can bond and fix mesophase carbon microspheres onto the substrate. However, the aforementioned carbon anode materials contain bio-carbon sources. After processing, the microstructure of the bio-carbon sources is not as regular as that of the mesophase carbon microspheres, which are spherical or near-spherical, but rather exhibits an irregular microstructure. PVDF cannot effectively bond and mix the bio-carbon sources and mesophase carbon microspheres together. Furthermore, due to the low bonding strength of PVDF, the compaction density of the electrode is low after electrode rolling, making it impossible to effectively bond and fix the bio-carbon sources onto the current collector. During long-term charge and discharge of the battery, the active material will fall off the copper foil of the current collector, resulting in a deterioration in the battery's cycle performance and charge / discharge performance. Therefore, this invention provides a binder that can effectively improve the bonding and fixation of bio-carbon sources and mesophase carbon microspheres onto the current collector. The binder provided by this invention can enhance its adhesive strength by utilizing the heat generated during battery charging and discharging. In the preparation of the negative electrode material, the negative electrode material and binder are first granulated into spheres using a spray granulation method, improving the tap density of the negative electrode material and the mixing uniformity of the bio-carbon source and mesophase carbon microspheres, which is beneficial for subsequent operations. The effective components in the binder also have ion-conducting properties, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance and avoiding the environmental pollution caused by conventional binders such as polyvinylidene fluoride.
[0040] During battery operation, a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film forms on the surface of the active material on the negative electrode. The SEI film effectively prevents contact between the active material and the electrolyte, preventing electrolyte decomposition and failure. Because lithium-ion batteries primarily use modified and activated bio-carbon sources as the negative electrode material, along with a special binder, an SEI film forms at the negative electrode under the influence of the electrolyte. However, under the presence of charge and heat, the thickness of the SEI film, which is meant to protect the negative electrode, increases. This thickened SEI film passivates the negative electrode. Furthermore, since the SEI film is formed by the deposition of lithium elements from the battery, an excessively thick SEI film also consumes lithium ions, leading to a decrease in battery capacity and an increase in internal resistance. To address these issues, negative electrode additives are added to the negative electrode material. The active components in these additives preferentially undergo cross-linking polymerization reactions with the modifiers and binders under the heat released during battery operation. This improves the adhesion of the negative electrode active material to the substrate, reduces active material shedding, and minimizes the reaction of the modifiers and binders under the influence of the electrolyte, preventing the formation of an excessively thick SEI film.

[0261] According to the national standard GB / T24533-2019 "Graphite Anode Materials for Lithium-ion Batteries", the first discharge specific capacity of lithium batteries was tested, and the specific data are recorded in Table 1.
[0262] Table 1. Specific capacity of lithium batteries during initial discharge
[0263]
[0264] Note: Tests were conducted at a charge / discharge current density of 100 mA / g, and the unit of specific capacity is mAh·g. -1
[0265] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the lithium battery prepared in the example has a much higher specific capacity during the first discharge than other comparative examples, with the specific capacity during the first discharge ranging from 1201.1 to 1210.7 mAh·g. -1 The first-discharge specific capacity of the lithium-ion battery obtained in Examples 1-4 was significantly higher than that of other comparative examples. Comparative Examples 1-4 adjusted the raw material ratio and preparation process of the binder, resulting in changes to the composition and structure of the binder. The final lithium-ion battery with this modified binder had a lower first-discharge specific capacity than Examples 1-3, but better than Comparative Example 23. Comparative Example 5 used a conventional binder, but because the negative electrode material was a treated bio-carbon source, the first-discharge specific capacity of the resulting lithium-ion battery was slightly higher than that of Comparative Example 25. Comparative Examples 6-8 modified the composition and preparation process of the modifier in the lithium-ion battery, but after testing, the highest first-discharge specific capacity of the resulting lithium-ion battery was only 789.4 mAh·g. -1 Comparative Examples 9-13 involved adjusting parameters in the anode material preparation process, but the highest initial discharge specific capacity of the resulting anode material was 897.8 mAh·g. -1 The lowest capacity is 387.4 mAh·g -1 Comparative Examples 14-17 adjusted the preparation process and raw material parameters of the negative electrode additives, resulting in lithium batteries with an initial discharge specific capacity of 978.5-1058.9 mAh·g.-1 Between; Comparative Examples 18-22 adjusted the relevant parameters in the lithium battery manufacturing process, and the resulting lithium batteries had a higher initial discharge specific capacity than Comparative Example 23.

[0267] The negative electrode was tested according to the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet in the national standard GB / T24533-2019 "Graphite Anode Materials for Lithium-ion Batteries". The specific data of the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet are recorded in Table 2.
[0268] Table 2 Compacted density of negative electrode sheet
[0269]
[0270] The compaction density of lithium battery anode sheets is closely related to the morphology, tap density, specific surface area, and particle size distribution of carbon anode materials. As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the compaction density of the anode sheets prepared in Examples 1-3 is 3.60 g / cm³. 3 Above this, the compaction density far exceeds that of the other comparative examples. Comparative Examples 1-4 adjusted the binder formulation and process, altering the binder's composition and structure. Therefore, the microstructure of the anode material prepared after mixing with the binder also had defects, with a compaction density ranging from 2.24 to 2.51 g / cm³. 3 Between; Comparative Examples 6-8 adjusted the raw material formulation and preparation process of the modifier, and the compaction density of the negative electrode was much lower than that of Examples 1-3.

[0273] Table 3 Capacity retention rate of lithium batteries
[0274]
[0275] As can be seen from the data in Table 3, after 700 cycles, the capacity retention rate of Examples 1-3 was above 82.1%, and the cycle life far exceeded that of the other comparative examples, indicating that the stability of the lithium batteries was superior to that of the other comparative examples. Comparative Examples 1-4 adjusted the binder formulation, and Comparative Examples 6-8 adjusted the modifier formulation and process; the resulting lithium batteries, after 800 cycles, had a capacity retention rate between 60.5% and 68.7%. Comparative Examples 9-13 adjusted the preparation process parameters and raw material formulation of the negative electrode material; the highest capacity retention rate after 800 cycles was 73.5%. Comparative Examples 14-16 modified the formulation and process of the negative electrode additive; the final lithium-ion batteries obtained had a capacity retention rate between 54.9% and 57.6% after 800 cycles. Comparative Example 17 did not add any negative electrode additive; the cycle performance of the lithium battery was even lower than that of the commercially purchased lithium-ion battery in Comparative Example 23, with a capacity retention rate of only 41.9% after 800 cycles. Comparative Examples 18-22 adjusted some parameters in the lithium battery preparation process, but the final lithium batteries retained a capacity of 59.3-73.9% after 800 cycles.
