Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of an Sn-based composite negative electrode material. Background Art
[0002] In the era of electronic information, devices driven by electricity can be seen everywhere, accompanied by a continuous increase in energy storage demand. Currently, commercial graphite used in lithium-ion batteries has faced problems such as low capacity, poor fast charging ability, and poor low-temperature performance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a new generation of negative electrode materials with properties such as high capacity, high lithium-ion diffusion ability, and moderate voltage platform.
[0003] Tin-based electrode materials have high specific capacity, moderate lithium intercalation potential, and fast lithium-ion transport ability, and are candidate negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries that have received much attention. The theoretical specific capacity of tin is as high as 994 mAh / g, far higher than that of commercial graphite negative electrodes. At the same time, lithium ions have an extremely high transport rate in the tin negative electrode, and tin materials can be used as fast transport conductors for lithium ions. However, as an alloying negative electrode material, the tin negative electrode has a large volume effect during charge and discharge processes, is prone to agglomeration, and seriously affects its cycle stability.
[0004] The allotrope α-Sn of Sn generated during the cycling process has a higher diffusion coefficient and impedance than β-Sn, and at the same time has better cycle stability and also has performance advantages at low temperatures. However, when pure tin undergoes solid-state phase transformation, it needs to experience a nucleation and growth process. At low temperatures, atomic movement is slow and energy fluctuations are small, so the nucleation process is extremely unstable. For this reason, the method of introducing artificial nucleating agents needs to be used to shorten the nucleation process. Since the InSb material with a zinc blende structure has a structure extremely similar to that of α-Sn, and the lattice misfit between the two is only 0.15%, InSb is the most suitable artificial nucleating agent. Moreover, different from traditional materials that store lithium through alloying, the InSb material has only a very small volume change during lithiation, so it has excellent cycle life. At the same time, the relatively large atomic spacing of the InSb material gives it excellent low-temperature rate performance, and it can still stably cycle at a current density of 1 A / g even under the harsh conditions of -50°C. Therefore, by adopting a suitable method to composite InSb and Sn, on the one hand, using InSb as a crystal nucleus to induce the occurrence of gray tin transformation, and on the other hand, using the stability and low-temperature high-rate performance of InSb itself to modify and optimize the Sn negative electrode, the low-temperature rate performance and cycle stability of the Sn alloy negative electrode can be improved from multiple aspects. The Sn-based negative electrode materials prepared according to this principle are expected to obtain high capacity, high rate, and high stability, so as to meet the requirements of fast charging and cycle stability of lithium ions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the above deficiencies of the prior art and provide a preparation method and application of an Sn-based composite negative electrode material. By adding InSb and graphite to Sn and then compounding them into a negative electrode material, Sn has a high theoretical capacity and a high lithium ion transmission rate. The addition of InSb can improve the structural stability and low-temperature rate performance of the material, and the addition of graphite can provide the conductivity of the material. The prepared Sn-based composite negative electrode material has the characteristics of fast charge and discharge at low temperature, and at the same time has the advantages of high capacity, high rate and high stability.
[0006] To achieve the above invention object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0019] Preferably, as a better embodiment, the weight ratio of InSb, Sn and graphite powder in step S1 is 87.3:9.7:3. More preferably, the weight ratio is 46.5:46.5:3.
[0020] Preferably, as a better embodiment, the Ar gas in the glove box is argon with a purity of more than 99.99%.
[0021] Preferably, as a better embodiment, the absolute ethanol is absolute ethanol with a purity of more than 95%.
[0022] Preferably, as a better embodiment, the ball-to-material ratio of the planetary ball milling is 25 - 50:1.
[0023] Preferably, as a better embodiment, the rotation speed of the planetary ball milling is 300 - 400 r / min.

Preferably, as a better embodiment, the ball milling tank and the bearing steel balls need to be cleaned before use to reduce the influence of surface stains and oxides on the material.
[0025] It should be noted that when the Sn-based composite anode material prepared by the planetary ball milling method is applied to a lithium-ion battery, the performance of the lithium-ion battery is significantly improved. After adding InSb, the cycle stability of the Sn anode is significantly improved. Even if only 10% InSb is added, the capacity of the material after 50 cycles can still remain at 530 mAh / g, and the capacity retention rate is 90.8%.
[0026] Another object of the present invention also lies in providing an application of the Sn-based composite anode material in the preparation of a battery.

[0029] 2) The present invention accelerates the induction of the gray tin transformation by compounding InSb, and effectively shortens the nucleation process by introducing artificial nucleating agents.

[0048] (1) Preparation and structure analysis of InSb-graphite composite anode material
[0049] After mixing InSb and graphite in a ratio of 97:3 and stirring evenly to obtain a mixed powder, canning is completed in an Ar atmosphere glove box, and 2 ml of absolute ethanol is dropped as a lubricant to assist ball milling. The ball-to-material ratio of planetary ball milling is 50:1, the rotation speed is 400 r / min, the ball milling working mode of one-way intermittent operation is adopted, the running time and the timing time are both 30 min, and the total ball milling running time is 20 h.
[0050] Figure 1 Shows the scanning electron microscope image of the InSb-graphite composite electron microscope material prepared in this embodiment. From Figure 1 it can be seen that the particle size of InSb particles after ball milling is all below 5 μm.
[0051] (2) Charge / discharge cycle performance test of InSb-graphite composite anode material
[0052] The InSb-graphite composite anode material powder prepared by planetary ball milling, conductive agent Super-P, and binder CMC were uniformly mixed at a mass ratio of 8:1:1, and then stirred with a stirring degassing machine for 30 min using deionized water as a solvent to make a slurry. The prepared slurry was uniformly coated on a battery-grade copper foil to make an electrode sheet. After surface drying the electrode sheet with an infrared baking lamp, it was placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried at 80 °C for 12 h. The dried electrode sheet was used as a working electrode for performance testing. Battery assembly was carried out in a glove box (Super 1220, Shanghai MIKRONA Electro-Mechanical Technology Co., Ltd.) with a high-purity Ar environment, and the water and oxygen content was less than 0.01 ppm. A pure lithium sheet was used as the counter electrode, and an electrolyte of 1 M LiPF6-EC:DEC:PC (1:1:1 by vol) with an additional 10 wt% FEC was used to assemble a coin cell for performance testing.
[0053] Test conditions: The charge-discharge current density was 0.1 A / g and 1.0 A / g, and the charge-discharge voltage range was 0.01 V to 2.0 V. The charge-discharge cycle test process was as follows: In the first cycle, the battery was first discharged at a constant current to 0.01 V, and then charged at a constant current to 2.0 V; starting from the second cycle, during discharge, it was discharged from 2.0 V to 0.01 V, and during charging, it was charged from 0.01 V to 2.0 V.
[0054] Through the above battery test conditions and steps for testing (the battery charge-discharge test system used was the LAND CT2001A battery test system, Wuhan Lanhe Electronics Co., Ltd.), as Figure 2 shown, the initial charge specific capacity of the prepared InSb-graphite composite anode material was 741.8 mAh / g. As Figure 3 shown, the InSb-graphite composite anode still had a capacity of 510.8 mAh / g after 1000 cycles at 30 °C, and the capacity retention rate was 89.9%. As Figure 4 shown, the InSb-graphite composite anode not only had excellent cycle stability at -50 °C but also could be cycled at a large current. When cycled at a current of 0.1 A / g for 100 cycles, the capacity was 596 mAh / g, and the capacity retention rate was as high as 103% compared to the capacity of 577 mAh / g in the second cycle. When the current density was increased to 1 A / g, after 700 cycles, the capacity decayed to 434.3 mAh / g, and the capacity retention rate was as high as 72.9%, showing excellent low-temperature high-rate performance.

[0096] After mixing Sn and graphite in a ratio of 97:3 and stirring evenly to obtain a mixed powder, canning is completed in an Ar atmosphere glove box, and 2 ml of anhydrous ethanol is dropped as a lubricant to assist ball milling. The ball-to-material ratio of planetary ball milling is 50:1, and the rotation speed is 400 r / min. The ball milling working mode of one-way intermittent operation is adopted, and both the running time and the timing time are 30 min. The total ball milling running time is 20 h.
[0097] (2) Charge / Discharge Cycle Performance Test of Sn-Graphite Composite Anode Material
[0098] After uniformly mixing the Sn-graphite composite anode material powder prepared by planetary ball milling, conductive agent Super-P, and binder CMC in a mass ratio of 8:1:1, deionized water is used as a solvent, and a stirring defoamer is used to stir for 30 min to make a slurry. The prepared slurry is uniformly coated on a battery-grade copper foil to make an electrode sheet. The electrode sheet is surface-dried with an infrared baking lamp and then placed in a vacuum drying oven at 80 °C for 12 h. The dried electrode sheet is used as a working electrode for performance testing, and battery assembly is carried out in a glove box (Super 1220, Shanghai MTI Co., Ltd.) with a high-purity Ar environment, and the water and oxygen content is less than 0.01 ppm. A pure lithium sheet is used as the counter electrode, and an electrolyte of 1 M LiPF6-EC:DEC:PC (1:1:1 by vol), plus 10 wt% FEC, is used to assemble a button cell for performance testing.
[0099] Test conditions: The charge-discharge current density is 0.1 A / g and 1.0 A / g, and the charge-discharge voltage range is 0.01 V to 2.0 V. The charge-discharge cycle test process is as follows: In the first cycle, the battery is first discharged at a constant current to 0.01 V, and then charged at a constant current to 2.0 V; starting from the second cycle, during discharge, it is discharged from 2.0 V to 0.01 V, and during charging, it is charged from 0.01 V to 2.0 V.
[0100] The test was carried out according to the above battery test conditions and steps (the battery charge-discharge test system used is the LAND CT2001A battery test system, Wuhan Lanhe Electronics Co., Ltd.). As Figure 8 、 Figure 9 shown, at room temperature, the capacity of the Sn-graphite composite anode material decays to nearly 0 after 30 cycles, while at -10 °C, the capacity of the Sn-graphite composite anode material decays to 150 mAh / g after 3 cycles, which is much lower than that of the Sn-InSb-graphite composite anode material in Example 5 and Example 6.
