Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of characterization and testing methods, and in particular to a method for testing the integrity of carbon coating on silicon-carbon coated anode materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the powder industry, surface coating modification is a crucial method for improving product performance, and coating integrity is a key parameter in powder modification. Similarly, in the manufacturing process of silicon-carbon anode materials, carbon coating modification of the silicon anode material surface can improve silicon cycle efficiency, inhibit silicon expansion during cycling, and prevent direct contact between silicon and electrolyte, thus improving cycle performance. However, currently, the integrity of the silicon surface carbon coating is mainly characterized by indirect examination and detection methods, the main methods of which are as follows:

[0003] First, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy is used, but since the types and contents of surface elements of particles in the coated and uncoated parts are different, this method can only observe particles in a small area, and the results are relatively one-sided.

[0004] Second, transmission electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy was used, but because the types and contents of elements on the surface of the particles in the coated and uncoated parts are different, as are the lattice fringes on the particle surface, only particles in a small area can be observed, and the results are relatively one-sided.

[0005] Third, XPS is used. XPS is another method for analyzing material surfaces. The signal source thickness is <10nm. It can have a very sensitive response to the material surface and can display the elemental information of the material surface. Semi-quantitative analysis can be performed based on the corresponding peak area on the obtained spectrum. However, when applied to the calculation of powder coating rate, the signal source is shallow, the error is large, and the test efficiency is low.

[0006] Furthermore, the above methods all require specialized and expensive instruments and equipment, and cannot be performed in ordinary laboratories using simple chemical instruments.

[0007] In view of this, the inventors have specifically designed a method for testing the integrity of carbon coating in silicon-carbon coated anode materials, which leads to this invention. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A method for testing the carbon coating integrity of silicon-carbon coated anode materials includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Dry the initial sample 1 and the crucible; then weigh the crucible and record the weight M1; add the initial sample 1 into the crucible and weigh and record the weight M2; sinter the crucible containing the initial sample 1, cool it, weigh the crucible and the initial sample 1 and record the total weight M3.

[0011] Step 2: Calculate the silicon content P1 in the initial sample 1;

[0012] Step 3: Take the initial sample 2 and record its weight as M4. Then place the initial sample 2 in a beaker and add the reaction solution to completely react the silicon and its oxide in the initial sample 2. After the reaction is complete, let the beaker stand.

[0013] Step 4: Take a dry filter paper and measure and record its weight M5; filter the mixture in the beaker after standing in step 3 through the dry filter paper to obtain the filtrate, wash it several times, dry the filtrate together with the dry filter paper and weigh and record M6.

[0014] Step 5: Calculate the mass of the filtered material obtained after the reaction, M7 = M6 - M5, and calculate the yield, P2 = M7 / M4;

[0015] Step 6: Add a portion of the filter material obtained in Step 4 to the crucible and weigh the sample and the crucible (M8). Sinter the crucible containing the filter material, and after cooling, weigh the crucible and the filter material and record the weight (M9).

[0016] Step 7: Calculate the silicon content P3 of the filtered material after etching with hydrogen fluoride in step 6;

[0017] Step 8: Calculate the proportion of coated silicon elements = P3*P2 / P1.

[0018] Furthermore, the drying method in step 1 is as follows: place the crucible containing the initial sample 1 in a vacuum drying oven, and set the drying temperature to 60℃-200℃ and the time to 2-24h.

[0019] Furthermore, the sintering method in step 1 is as follows: place the crucible containing the dried sample into the heating furnace, open the inlet and outlet valves, introduce air or oxygen, turn on the gas flow meter and adjust it to 50-1000 ml / min, sinter to 800-1500℃, and hold for 2-24 hours.

[0020] Furthermore, the formula for calculating P1 in step 2 is as follows: P1 = (M3 - M1) / 60.084 * 28.0855 / (M2 - M1), where 60.084 is the relative atomic mass of silicon dioxide and 28.0855 is the relative atomic mass of silicon.

[0021] Furthermore, the cleaning method in step 4 involves rinsing three times with 0.2-10L of deionized water, and the drying method in step 4 is vacuum drying at a temperature of 60-200℃.

[0022] Furthermore, the sintering method in step 6 is as follows: place the crucible containing some filter material into the heating furnace, open the inlet and outlet valves to allow air or oxygen to pass through, turn on the gas flow meter to adjust to 50-2000 ml / min, sinter to 800-1500℃, and hold for 2-24 hours.

[0023] Furthermore, in step 4, the solution that can react with silicon and its oxides is a 1%-40% hydrogen fluoride solution or a 0.5-5 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution.

[0024] Furthermore, in step 7, the formula for calculating P3 is P3 = (M9 - M1) / 60.084 * 28.0855 / (M8 - M1).

[0025] Furthermore, the heating furnace in steps 1 and 6 is a muffle furnace.

[0026] This invention provides a method for testing the carbon coating integrity of silicon-carbon coated anode materials, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] Step 6: Add a portion of the filter material obtained in Step 4 to the crucible and weigh it M8 = 9.0308g. Place the crucible containing the filter material into the tube furnace, open the inlet and outlet valves, and introduce air or oxygen. Turn on the gas flow meter and adjust it to 50ml / min.

[0039] Step 7: Calculate the silicon content P3 of the filtered material after hydrogen fluoride etching in Step 6: P3 = (M9-M1) / 60.084*28.0855 / (M8-M1) = (9.21773-8.43973) / 60.084*28.0855 / (9.0308-8.43973) = 61.53%;

[0040] Step 8: Calculate the carbon coating integrity of silicon as P3*P2 / P1 = 61.53%*65.45% / 85.27% = 47.23%.
