Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery materials, and in particular to a high-performance silicon-carbon negative electrode material for lithium batteries and a preparation method thereof.

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile electronics and the new energy vehicle industry, market demands for the energy density of lithium-ion batteries are increasing. Anode materials, as key components of lithium-ion batteries, play a decisive role in battery energy performance. The theoretical specific capacity of graphite, a traditional anode material, is only 372 mAh / g, which is insufficient for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Silicon, on the other hand, boasts a theoretical capacity of 4200 mAh / g, more than ten times that of graphite. To achieve higher energy density, the industry consensus is that silicon-based anodes should be developed for use in lithium-ion battery systems.

[0003] While silicon-based anode materials hold broad application prospects, practical silicon applications still face technical challenges. The most significant challenges are: 1) Volume expansion reaches 320% after lithium insertion, which further leads to material pulverization, changes in electrode structure, and the continuous formation of a solid electrolyte (SEI) film; and 2) Silicon is an intrinsically semiconductor material with poor conductivity. Due to these bottlenecks, silicon cannot yet be used solely as an anode material. Currently, battery material companies primarily combine silicon with graphite, conductive agents, and other carbon materials. The introduction of carbon materials can improve the conductivity of silicon-carbon anodes. Nanoscaling is an effective solution to silicon's volume expansion problem. Research has shown that reducing silicon to less than 150 nm in at least one dimension effectively mitigates this volume expansion problem and prevents material pulverization and breakage.

[0004] Chinese patent CN104112850A provides a silicon-carbon negative electrode material based on photovoltaic waste silicon and its preparation method, which simply mixes purified and modified micron and submicron silicon with graphite and applies it to lithium-ion battery negative electrode materials. This composite material uses waste silicon mud from the photovoltaic industry as raw material, adopts step-by-step refinement, controls the particle size of silicon powder within a reasonable range, balances the particle size and specific surface area, and alleviates the volume expansion of silicon to a certain extent, so that nano-silicon can exert better performance. Organic matter is pyrolyzed to form amorphous carbon coating on the surface of flaky nano-silicon. After high-temperature calcination, a stable and uniform amorphous carbon coating can be formed on the surface of the silicon material, thereby improving the coulombic efficiency and cycle stability of the material. However, this process is relatively expensive and cannot be industrialized. The polymer cracking single-layer coating can only alleviate the volume expansion of silicon to a certain extent. The structure of silicon is still unstable and cannot improve the initial charge and discharge efficiency of the material.

[0005] Chinese patent CN 110931744 A provides a method for preparing silicon-carbon materials, which involves adding polymer monomers to a silicon source and using heat polymerization to obtain a polymer nanobelt-coated silicon material. This process forms a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with a high-porosity network-like coating structure, which can not only effectively buffer the volume expansion of silicon during the lithium insertion and extraction process, but also extend the cycle life of lithium-ion batteries. However, this process has high reaction conditions and limited cost control. In addition, heating may cause the nanosilicon to be oxidized, which is prone to side reactions. This process also does not control the particle size of silicon, and is even more unable to improve the initial efficiency of silicon. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the above technical problems, the present invention provides a high-performance silicon-carbon negative electrode material for lithium batteries and a preparation method. Using industrial waste silicon slag as raw material, organic monomers are introduced during the ball milling process to initiate in-situ polymerization of the monomers and construct a carbon coating, which not only reduces production costs but also provides a buffer layer for silicon volume expansion. A small amount of silicon-oxygen bonds on the surface of the nano-silicon form hydrogen bonds with the organic monomers, thereby guiding the directional and regular growth of the polymer. The uniform and regular polymer coating facilitates rapid electrolyte infiltration and provides a large amount of pseudocapacitance through redox reactions, enabling the nano-silicon to exert better performance. In addition, by spray drying and introducing nitrogen and fluorine sources, nitrogen-fluorine co-doped carbon-coated nano-silicon particles are obtained. These particles are then mixed with a certain amount of graphite to form a graphite structure skeleton that coats the nano-silicon, significantly improving the initial charge and discharge efficiency and cycle stability of the silicon-carbon.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A high-performance silicon-carbon negative electrode material for lithium batteries comprises a two-layer coating structure doped with nano-silicon and fluorine and nitrogen ions, which is coated on the outside of the nano-silicon. The two-layer coating structure comprises an inner coating layer and an outer coating layer. The inner coating layer is amorphous carbon generated by polymer decomposition, and the outer coating layer is a coating layer formed by a structural skeleton provided by graphite. The inner coating layer of the nano-silicon is generated by polymer decomposition. In the process of controlling the particle size of the nano-silicon, organic monomers are directly synthesized into polymers through an oxidation-reduction method, and nitrogen ions and fluoride ions are incorporated into the coating layer through a mixing reaction and spray drying.

[0009] Furthermore, the particle size of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is 50-300 nm.

[0013] (3) High-purity silicon powder and organic monomer are added to a solvent and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain a slurry. The slurry and zirconium oxide balls are then added to a ball mill, the ball mill is vacuum-treated, and then ball milling is performed. An initiator is added during the ball milling process.

[0014] (4) placing the ball-milled slurry in an ice bath for reaction, and filtering to obtain a polymer-coated nano-silicon composite material after the reaction is completed;

[0015] (5) The polymer-coated nano-silicon composite material, perfluorobutylsulfonamide and graphite are added to a dispersant, mixed and stirred to obtain a mixed slurry, which is then spray-dried and calcined at high temperature to obtain a fluorine-nitrogen co-doped high-performance silicon-carbon negative electrode material for lithium batteries.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (1), the purity of the industrial waste silicon slag used is ≥80%, and most of the organic matter is removed by high-temperature sintering. The high-temperature sintering is carried out in an inert gas, and the inert gas is high-purity nitrogen or high-purity argon. The heating rate is 5°C / min, and the temperature is controlled at 200°C for 2h, and at 700-800°C for 2h, and then naturally cooled to room temperature.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the acid used for pickling is one or more of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid, the acid concentration is 1-3 mol / L, the pickling temperature is 25-50°C, the pickling time is 1-8 hours, and the pure water washing temperature is 15-40°C, the time is 1-4 hours, and the purity of the obtained high-purity silicon powder is ≥99%.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (3), the solvent is dilute hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 1-2 M, the solid content of the slurry is 5-50%, the organic monomer is aniline, pyrrole, thiophene or acrylamide, and the mass ratio of high-purity silicon powder to the organic monomer is 10:(1-5).

[0019] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass ratio of the total mass of high-purity silicon powder and organic monomer to the mass of zirconia balls is 10:(5~30), the particle size of the zirconia balls is 0.1~2 mm, the ball milling speed is 200~800 rpm, the ball milling time is 0.5~3h, and the vacuum degree of the ball milling jar is ≤-90Kpa.

[0020] Furthermore, in step (3), the initiator is ammonium persulfate, the mass ratio of ammonium persulfate to organic monomer is 1:(2-4), and the initiator is added to the ball mill in 3-5 times.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (4), the ice bath reaction temperature is -10~5°C, the ice bath reaction time is 1~5h, and the particle size of the polymer-coated nano-silicon composite material is 50~120nm.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (5), the mass ratio of the polymer-coated nano-silicon composite material to graphite is 1:(1-3), the mass fraction of perfluorobutylsulfonamide in the polymer-coated nano-silicon composite material is 2-10%, the dispersant is one of ethanol, methanol, and acetone, the stirring time is 2-10 h, the temperature is 0-60° C., the feed rate is 5 mL / min, the spray pressure is 2 MPa, and the high-temperature sintering conditions are the same as those in step (1).

[0023] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The silicon-carbon negative electrode material of the present invention mainly comprises three parts: the first part is the internal base nano-silicon material, the second part is the indeterminate carbon coating layer formed by decomposition of organic matter, and the third part is the graphite skeleton layer.

[0024] The present invention is simple and easy to implement. Nano-silicon and organic monomers are simultaneously vacuum ball-milled to induce a redox reaction in the monomers to generate a polymer coating layer, which provides a buffer layer for the volume expansion of silicon. This process is simple, low-cost, and reduces side reactions. A small amount of silicon-oxygen bonds on the surface of the nano-silicon form hydrogen bonds with the organic monomers, thereby guiding the directional and regular growth of the polymer. The uniform and regular polymer nano-coating layer is conducive to the rapid infiltration of the electrolyte, provides a large amount of pseudocapacitance through the redox reaction, and enables the nano-silicon to exert better performance.

[0025] The present invention uses perfluorobutylsulfonamide to dope the coating with fluorine and nitrogen ions, improving the material's conductivity and ion mobility, and boosting the initial charge and discharge efficiency of nanosilicon. Spray drying is used for granulation and secondary coating of the nanosilicon. Graphite provides a spatial structural framework for the nanosilicon, further reducing its volume expansion. The addition of graphite also creates space for ion doping. Fluorine and nitrogen co-doping and graphite coating significantly enhance the electrochemical performance of the nanosilicon.
