Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a pre-lithiated negative electrode active material and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the rapid development of portable electronic products and new energy vehicles has continuously put forward higher requirements for the performance of lithium ion batteries, among which the improvement of battery energy density is the most urgent. Under the existing lithium ion battery system, the battery structure is optimized, the positive and negative electrode materials are iterated, such as using high-nickel ternary and high-voltage nickel-manganese materials for the positive electrode, using high-capacity silicon and tin-based alloy negative electrode for the negative electrode, and using lithium ion battery lithium supplement technology to improve the initial efficiency of the battery, which is an effective way to improve the energy density of the battery.
[0003] During the first charge and discharge process of the battery, a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is formed on the negative electrode side. The irreversible capacity loss of the most widely used graphite negative electrode is more than 6%, while for silicon-based and tin-based alloy negative electrodes with high specific capacity, the irreversible capacity loss is even as high as 10% to 20% or more, which reduces the overall energy density of the battery. Lithium supplement technology can improve the short board of low initial efficiency and fully exert the advantages of high capacity, which is an effective means to solve this problem.
[0004] The negative electrode side lithium supplement technology includes metal lithiumization physical lithiumization, chemical lithiumization, and electrochemical pre-lithiation. The current process lithium supplement method involves rolling the metal lithium foil to a thickness of several microns, then compounding and rolling it with the negative electrode. After the battery is filled with liquid, these metal lithiums quickly react with the negative electrode and are embedded in the negative electrode material, thereby improving the initial efficiency of the material. This lithium supplement method is simple and efficient, but the utilization rate of lithium source is often less than 65%, which easily forms "dead lithium" to hinder the diffusion and mass transfer of lithium ions, leading to larger polarization of the battery and lithium precipitation phenomenon, making it impossible to be applied on a large scale; the application of lithium supplement technology not only improves the capacity of lithium ion batteries, but also improves the cycle life of the battery, but the additional lithium supplement material reduces the proportion of active materials in the electrode.
[0005] Therefore, how to achieve non-damage pre-lithiation is a challenging problem. Developing high-safety and low-cost lithium supplement technology to improve the energy density and cycle life of lithium ion batteries is crucial for the development of lithium ion batteries. SUMMARY

[0075] The present application discloses a kind of prelithiation negative active material and device, and those skilled in the art can learn from the content herein, and process parameters are appropriately improved to realize.In particular, it needs to be pointed out that all similar substitutions and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are all regarded as included in the present application.The method and application of the present application have been described by preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel can obviously modify or appropriately change and combine the method and application described herein without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present application, to realize and apply the present application technology.
[0076] The present application prelithiation graphite negative electrode preparation includes the following steps:
[0077] Prelithiation graphite is prepared in a flowing electrolytic cell, and the electrolytic cell is connected to a potentiostat. The pre-film forming mechanism of graphite is as follows: Figure 1 150mg graphite powder is dispersed into an electrolytic cell containing electrolyte solution flow. Lithium foil is used as reference electrode and counter electrode, and 1mm thick polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) diaphragm is used as barrier between cathode and anode for ion conduction only; The electrolytic cell device is placed in a glove box to ensure operation in a reducing gas. The solution in the electrolytic cell is connected by an external pump and continuously stirred to ensure uniform dispersion of graphite particles in the electrolyte and avoid any sedimentation. The electrolyte solution is circulated for 30 minutes before prelithiation to ensure the wettability of the potentiostat. The voltage window of the electrolytic cell during prelithiation is between 0.005V and 2.000V (vs. Li + / Li), simulating the SEI formation process of graphite in the battery. When the graphite particles come into contact with the cathode, they will get electrons and start to form SEI when the voltage is below 1.0V. The lithium intercalation state of graphite can be controlled by controlling the cycle time and current density. After the formation of SEI, the graphite powder is separated and washed using a centrifuge to obtain graphite powder with Li2CO3 / LiF as the main SEI film component, which is stable in air and does not affect the performance.
[0078] The present application lithium ion battery preparation method includes the following steps:
[0079] a: The prelithiation negative electrode powder (positive active material) prepared in the above electrolytic cell is mixed with conductive agent and adhesive in a mass ratio of 0.8:0.1:0.1, and a certain proportion of solvent is added and stirred for 60 minutes using a high-speed mixer to dissolve. The active material slurry is coated on the copper (aluminum) foil by conventional or zebra coating method to obtain negative (positive) electrode sheet;
[0080] b: The negative (positive) electrode sheet is rolled after being baked in an oven at 80-150℃, and the electrode sheet is cut to obtain a single negative (positive) electrode sheet structure by laser cleaning / scraping / die cutting method;
[0081] c: the positive electrode sheet / negative electrode sheet and the separator are assembled into a roll core, electrolyte is added, and lithium ion batteries are prepared after formation and capacity distribution.
[0082] The reagents and materials used in the present application can be obtained through commercial channels.
[0083] The present application is further described below in conjunction with examples:
[0084] Example 1
[0085] (1) The pre-lithiated graphite in this example was prepared in a flowing electrolytic cell connected to a potentiostat. 150 mg of graphite powder was dispersed in an electrolyte solution. The 50 mL electrolyte solution contained 2 mol of LiTFSI (lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide) and 0.4 mol of LiNO3, and the solvent was 1,3-dioxolane. Lithium foil was used as the reference electrode and the counter electrode, and the device was placed in a glove box. The solution in the electrolytic cell was connected to an external pump and continuously stirred to ensure uniform dispersion of the graphite particles in the electrolyte. The electrolyte solution was circulated at a flow rate of 10 mL / min for 30 minutes before pre-lithiation to ensure the wettability of the potentiostat. The current of the potentiostat was 0.06C, and the voltage window was between 0.005V and 2.000V (vs. Li+ / Li), and the negative electrode formed a SEI film <1.0V; after the formation of the SEI, the graphite powder was separated and washed using a centrifuge to obtain pre-lithiated graphite;
[0086] The pre-lithiated graphite was subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) detection, as shown in Figure 2 , wherein Figure 2 a / b / c is the surface morphology of the graphite before pre-lithiation, and d / e / f is the surface morphology of the graphite after pre-lithiation. The results show that the morphology of the pre-formed graphite becomes more porous and rough, and the surface of the pre-lithiated graphite indeed forms a SEI; the structural diagram of the pre-lithiated graphite is shown in Figure 6 .
[0087] (2) The pre-lithiated graphite powder, Super P, polyvinylidene fluoride, and N-methyl pyrrolidone were mixed in a mass ratio of 0.8:0.1:0.1:10, stirred in a high-speed blender for 60 minutes, and then coated on a copper foil to obtain a negative electrode sheet;
[0088] The positive active material lithium cobaltate, Super P, polyvinylidene fluoride, and N-methyl pyrrolidone were mixed in a mass ratio of 0.8:0.1:0.1:10, stirred in a high-speed blender for 60 minutes, and then coated on an aluminum foil to obtain a positive electrode sheet;
[0089] (3) Preparation of electrolyte: In a dry argon atmosphere glove box, ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), methyl ethyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were mixed uniformly in a mass ratio of EC:PC:EMC:DEC = 10:30:30:30, followed by the addition of 2% fluoroethylene carbonate and 2% 1,3-propane sultone. After dissolution and thorough stirring, lithium salt LiPF6 was added, and the mixture was uniformly mixed to obtain the electrolyte. The concentration of LiPF6 was 1 mol / L.
[0090] (4) The obtained positive electrode sheet, separator, and negative electrode sheet were stacked in order, with the separator between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to serve as a barrier, and then wound to obtain a bare battery. The bare battery was placed in an outer packaging foil aluminum plastic film, electrolyte was injected, and the battery was subjected to a process flow of vacuum packaging, standing, and formation to obtain a lithium ion battery.
[0091] Example 2
[0092] This example is similar to Example 1, except that 50 mL of electrolyte solution contains 1.2 mol of LiPF6, and the solvent is EC / EMC (volume ratio 1:1).
[0093] Example 3
[0094] This example is similar to Example 2, except that the constant potential instrument current is 0.1C.
[0095] Comparative Example 1
[0096] In this comparative example, a negative electrode sheet was prepared using graphite powder that was not pre-lithiated, and the specific steps were as follows:
[0097] (1) The graphite powder (not pre-lithiated), Super P, polyvinylidene fluoride, and N-methyl pyrrolidone were mixed in a mass ratio of 0.8:0.1:0.1:10, stirred with a high-speed mixer for 60 min, and then coated on a copper foil to obtain a negative electrode sheet;
[0098] The positive active material lithium cobaltate, Super P, polyvinylidene fluoride, and N-methyl pyrrolidone were mixed in a mass ratio of 0.8:0.1:0.1:10, stirred with a high-speed mixer for 60 min, and then coated on an aluminum foil to obtain a positive electrode sheet;
[0099] (2) Electrolyte preparation: In a dry argon-atmospheric glove box, ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were mixed evenly in a mass ratio of EC:PC:EMC:DEC = 10:30:30:30. Then, 2% fluoroethylene carbonate and 2% 1,3-propanesulfonyl lactone were added, dissolved, and stirred thoroughly. Lithium salt LiPF6 was then added and mixed evenly to obtain the electrolyte. The concentration of LiPF6 was 1 mol / L.
[0100] (3) Stack the obtained positive electrode, separator and negative electrode in order, so that the separator is between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to play the role of isolation, and then wind them to obtain a bare battery; place the bare battery in the outer packaging foil aluminum-plastic film, inject electrolyte, and obtain a lithium-ion battery through vacuum sealing, standing, formation and other processes.
[0101] Performance testing
[0102] 1. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) Test
[0103] The experimental parameters are as follows: voltage range: 0~2V; initial scan polarity: negative; step interval: 0.001mv / s; number of scan segments: 2.
[0104] like Figure 3 The CV curves of graphite before and after pre-lithiation are shown. Compared with unlithiated graphite, the peak potential of prelithiated graphite is at 0.5V (vs. Li). + Around / Li), the electrolyte decomposes to form an SEI film.
[0105] 2. First week charge / discharge test
[0106] The experimental method is as follows: Take the formed lithium-ion battery, first charge it to 4.45V at 0.02C to obtain the first week's charging capacity, and then discharge it to 3.0V at 0.02C to obtain the first week's discharging capacity.
[0107] like Figure 4 As shown, the pre-lithiated negative electrode graphite exhibits less first-week discharge capacity loss compared to cells made from conventional graphite powder.
[0108] 3. Cyclic performance test
[0109] The experimental method is as follows:
[0110] ① Resting: Rest for 10 minutes at 25℃±2℃;
[0111] ② Initial capacity test:
[0112] Discharge to the lower limit voltage at 0.2C and let stand for 10 minutes;
[0113] 0.7C charge to upper voltage limit, current cut-off at specification;
[0114] 0.2C discharge to lower voltage limit;
[0115] 3. rest for 10 min;
[0116] 4. charge to upper voltage limit at specification, current cut-off, rest for 10 min;
[0117] 5. 0.7C discharge to 3.0V, 8-9 step cycles for 600 times;
[0118] Repeat steps 4-5 for 100 times to test the capacity. After the cycle, measure the data at full charge state, voltage, internal resistance, thickness, DC internal resistance.
[0119] Figure 5 The initial cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves between graphite and Pre-SEI graphite are shown. Compared with the original graphite anode, the cathode peak of Pre-SEI graphite is greatly reduced at around 0.5V (vs. Li + / Li), which is believed to be the formation of SEI with the decomposition of electrolyte. The reduced double-layer charge in the CV curve from Pre-SEI graphite indicates the formation of SEI layer on the graphite surface, as the pre-formed SEI layer reduces the surface area of the graphite powder.
[0120] 4. First week discharge capacity test
[0121] The experimental method is: take the lithium ion battery after formation, first charge to 4.45V at 0.02C to get the first week charge capacity, then discharge to 3.0V at 0.02C to get the first week discharge capacity.
[0122] 5. Capacity loss test
[0123] The capacity loss is the difference between the discharge capacity of each week and the discharge capacity of the previous week.
[0124] 6. Energy density test
[0125] The experimental method is: charge the lithium ion battery to 4.45V at a rate of 0.2C, then charge to 0.025C at a constant voltage to complete the full charge of the lithium ion battery; next, discharge at a rate of 0.2C until the voltage of the lithium ion battery decreases to 3.87V, record the total capacity C discharged during the discharge process, and calculate the actual volume V of the lithium ion battery;
[0126] ED = discharge capacity C * voltage platform / cell volume V
[0127] The platform voltage of 4.45V system is usually 3.87V.
[0128] ED loss rate = ED difference / initial ED * 100%
[0129] The first week discharge capacity, capacity loss, energy density test results are as follows:
[0130] Table 1 ED comparison
[0131]
[0132] Table 1 results show that the pre-lithiation treated negative electrode graphite, compared with the conventional graphite powder prepared battery, the first week discharge capacity loss is reduced, and the energy density loss is reduced.
[0133] The above only is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for the ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, can also make a number of improvements and refinements, these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
