However, the electronic conductivity of silicon-oxygen materials is relatively poor, which affects the rate performance of the battery. In addition, the silicon-oxygen material itself has a large full-charge expansion, which causes the repeated expansion of the electrode during charging and discharging, resulting in the repeated repair of the SEI, consumption of lithium ions, and reduction of the cycle and storage performance. There are many methods to improve the electronic conductivity of the material and reduce the expansion, such as surface coating, reducing the reaction temperature to reduce the silicon grain size, preparing a porous core material and providing a buffer space, and reducing the expansion.

[0048] Test Experiment 1

[0049] 1. Physicochemical tests

[0050] (1) Morphological test

[0051] The silicon-carbon composite material prepared in Example 1 was subjected to SEM testing, and the test results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. By Figure 1 It can be seen that the material has a granular structure, and the particle size distribution is uniform and reasonable. There are amorphous carbon materials between the particles, and the particle size is between 2-8μm.

[0052] (2) The specific surface area, tap density and carbon content of silicon-based composite materials were tested in accordance with GB / T 38823-2020 "Silicon Carbon", and the electrical conductivity of silicon carbon composite materials was tested using a four-probe tester.

[0053] (3) Full charge expansion: Test the thickness D1 of the negative electrode sheet of the coin cell after rolling, then dissect the full charge thickness D2 of the negative electrode sheet when the coin cell is fully charged to 100% SOC, and then calculate the expansion rate (expansion rate = (D2-D1) / D1*100%).

[0054] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0055] 2. Electrochemical performance testing

[0056] (1) Button cell test

[0057] The silicon-carbon composite materials used in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were used as negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries to prepare coin cells according to the following method:

[0058] The binder, the conductive agent and the solvent are added to the silicon-carbon composite material, and stirring is carried out to prepare a slurry, which is coated on a copper foil, and then dried and rolled to obtain a negative electrode sheet; the binder is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), the conductive agent is conductive carbon black (SP), and the solvent is N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), wherein the amount ratio of the silicon-carbon composite material, SP, PVDF and NMP is 95g:1g:4g:220mL; the electrolyte is a solution of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) as an electrolyte, and the concentration is 1mol / L, wherein the solvent is a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) in a volume ratio of 1:1; lithium metal is used as a counter electrode, and a polypropylene (PP) film is used as a separator. The button cell is assembled in an argon-filled glove box.

[0059] The electrochemical performance is tested on a Wuhan Lan Electric CT2001A battery tester, and the charge and discharge voltage range is 0.005V to 2.0V, and the charge and discharge rate is 0.1C.

[0060] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0061] Table 1

[0062]

[0063] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the specific capacity and the first efficiency of the silicon-carbon composite material prepared by the application are obviously better than those of the comparative examples. The reason is that: the silicon-oxygen material is deposited by an electrochemical deposition method, which has the advantages of high density, reduced impedance, reduced material defect degree to improve the first efficiency, and the porous structure of the porous metal material has the advantages of high specific surface area and high electronic conductivity of the material; and the expansion of the material is reduced.

[0064] Test experiment two

[0065] The silicon-carbon composite materials of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are respectively doped with 90% artificial graphite as a negative electrode material, and assembled into 5Ah soft package batteries with positive electrode ternary material (LiNi 1 / 3 Co 1 / 3 Mn 1 / 3 O2), electrolyte and separator. The separator is celegard 2400, and the electrolyte is a LiPF6 solution (the solvent is a mixed solution of EC and DEC in a volume ratio of 1:1, and the concentration of LiPF6 is 1.3mol / L). The prepared soft package batteries (lithium ion batteries) are respectively marked as A-2, B-2, C-2, D-2 and E-2.

[0066] The soft package batteries are subjected to the following performance tests:

[0067] 1. Liquid absorption capacity test

[0068] Using a 1 mL burette, and taking electrolyte V mL, dropping one drop on the surface of the pole piece, and timing until the electrolyte is absorbed, recording the time t, and calculating the liquid absorption rate of the pole piece V / t. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0069] 2. Liquid retention rate test

[0070] According to the pole piece parameters, the theoretical liquid absorption amount of the pole piece mL is calculated, and the weight of the pole piece m2 is weighed, then the pole piece is placed in the electrolyte for 24 h, the weight of the pole piece is weighed as m3, the liquid absorption amount of the pole piece m3-m2 is calculated, and the liquid retention rate is calculated according to the following formula: liquid retention rate = (m3-m2)*100% / mL. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0071] Table 2

[0072] Suction rate (mL / min) Liquid retention Example 1 5.4 90.1% Example 2 5.9 91.2% Example 3 4.5 89.4% Comparative Example 1 2.5 84.9% Comparative Example 2 1.5 82.7%

[0073] As can be seen from Table 2, the liquid absorption and retention capacity of the silicon-carbon composite material prepared in Examples 1-3 is obviously higher than that of the comparative examples. The reason is that the specific surface area of the silicon-carbon composite material prepared in Examples 1-3 is larger, which improves the liquid absorption and retention capacity of the material.

[0074] 3. Rate and cycle performance

[0075] The cycle performance test and rate test are carried out on the soft pack batteries A-2 to E-2. The cycle test conditions are: the charge and discharge voltage range is 2.5-4.2 V, the temperature is 25±3.0℃, the charge and discharge rate is 0.5C / 1.0C, and the cycle number is 500 times. The rate test conditions are: the constant current ratio of the material under 2C condition is tested, then the 100% SOC of the charged battery is dissected and analyzed, and the full charge rebound of the pole piece before the test is tested. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0076] Table 3

[0077]

[0078] As can be seen from Table 3, the cycle performance of the soft pack lithium ion battery prepared by using the silicon-carbon composite material of the application is better than that of the comparative examples, and the reason is that the silicon-carbon material of the application is electrochemically deposited on the porous metal to reduce the expansion and has a higher specific surface area, which improves the liquid retention performance of the material and improves the cycle performance; at the same time, the silicon-carbon composite material of the application is doped with a metal compound with high electronic conductivity to reduce the impedance and improve the rate performance (constant current ratio); at the same time, the application uses a porous metal as a substrate to deposit a silicon-based material on the surface of the substrate to reduce the expansion.

[0079] The above-described embodiments are only the preferred schemes of the application, and do not limit the application in any form, and other variants and modifications can be made without exceeding the technical scheme recited in the claims.
