[0002] Rice hull, as one of the main by-products of rice processing, accounts for about one fifth of the rice yield, and has a high yield. At present, the main treatment method for rice hull is to burn it on the spot or to bury it, and the generated rice hull ash will pollute the environment if not treated.

[0127] <Preparation of a rice husk-derived carbon@silica composite material>
[0128] The rice husk was washed with tap water for 3 times, and then washed with deionized water for 3 times, filtered, and oven-dried at 110°C overnight (12h) to remove dust and other impurities on the surface of the rice husk.

[0132] The rice husk derived materials before calcination in Examples 1-4 are: RH, RH-L+X, RH-L, RH-X, Figure 1 The infrared spectra of the four rice husk derived materials are shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 As shown, it appears at 1220 cm -1 The shoulder peak is the asymmetric stretching vibration peak of Si-OC, which appears at 1095 cm -1 The strong band is the asymmetric stretching vibration peak of Si-O-Si; the symmetric stretching vibration peak of Si-O-Si appears at 815cm -1 , the stretching vibration peak of Si-O appears at 580 cm -1 The bending vibration peak of Si-O appears at 467 cm -1 , the above peaks correspond to SiO2 components.

[0133] Figure 2 The nitrogen adsorption-desorption curves of the rice husk-derived carbon@silica composite materials prepared in Examples 1-4 show the porosity characteristics of the rice husk-derived carbon@silica composite materials prepared in Examples 1-4. The natural vascular bundle structure in the rice husk causes large pores to naturally exist in the rice husk, and these pores can be retained after carbonization. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption curves of the three materials C@SiO2-RH, C@SiO2-L+X and C@SiO2-X are type IV, with H4 type hysteresis loops, indicating that the structure of the pores in the material is mainly slit-shaped pores. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption curve of C@SiO2-L is also type IV, with an H3 type hysteresis loop, which also indicates that slit-shaped pores mainly exist in the material. From Figure 3 It can also be seen that C@SiO2-L and C@SiO2-X have hierarchical porous structures and a wide range of pore size distribution, especially the presence of mesopores in the range of 5nm-15nm. C@SiO2-X has the largest small mesopores (2nm-5nm), and C@SiO2-L has a high content of 5nm-15nm mesopores. Figure 2 、Figure 3 As can be seen from Table 1, the specific surface area and pore volume of the material C@SiO2-L+X obtained by removing hemicellulose are slightly lower than those of C@SiO2-RH, indicating that the presence of hemicellulose contributes to the porosity and pore distribution of the material but has little effect.
[0134] Table 1
[0135]
[0136]
[0137] Figure 3 The pore volume distribution graphs further demonstrate that C@SiO2-RH, C@SiO2-L+X, C@SiO2-L and C@SiO2-X are mesoporous materials. Specifically, they belong to materials mainly with mesopores and coexisting mesopores and micropores. As can be seen from the statistical results in Table 1, the average pore diameter of C@SiO2-RH, C@SiO2-L+X and C@SiO2-X is less than 2 nm, and the proportion of micropores is relatively high. The average pore diameter of C@SiO2-L is greater than 4 nm, because it has a relatively high content of mesopores of 5 nm-15 nm.
[0138] The inventors found that calcining RH in Example 1 of the present application in air, most of the carbon component escapes with gas molecules such as CO and CO2, and SiO2 remains, obtaining a rice husk-derived silica material (RH-SiO2), which is white, and the RH-SiO2 still maintains the original micro morphology of the rice husk. Figure 4 is a nitrogen adsorption-desorption curve of RH-SiO2, which shows that the RH-SiO2 material is also a mesoporous material. The pore size distribution graph of RH-SiO2 is shown in Figure 5 , which has the maximum pore volume distribution fraction at 2.5 nm-5 nm, and the statistical results show that the average pore diameter is 3.726 nm, which is consistent with the results of the nitrogen adsorption-desorption curve. RH-SiO2 has a H3 type hysteresis loop, indicating that there are mainly crack-like pores in RH-SiO2. In addition, RH-SiO2 has two kinds of pores, one is a micron-scale (about 10 μm) honeycomb hole formed by the interlaced RH-SiO2 plates as the rice husk skeleton and maintaining the morphology of the rice husk, as shown in Figure 6 ; the other is a nanometer-scale (<50 nm) interstitial pore of SiO2 particles formed by non-tightly aggregated SiO2 gel particles aggregated into plate-like, as shown in Figure 8 ; the black area between SiO2 particles is an interstitial pore, also known as a stacking pore. The above two kinds of pores are the source of crack-like mesopores. Therefore, the nanometer-scale SiO2 is loosely aggregated into a network in the rice husk, thereby resulting in a relatively large specific surface area (248.837 m 2 ·g-1 ) and pore volume (0.358 cm 3 ·g -1 ).
[0139] The above results also show that, compared with RH-SiO2, the rice husk derived carbon@silica composite material provided in the application has a hierarchical porous structure. The combination of carbon narrows the pore size and reduces the pore volume, but does not completely block the mesopores. Moreover, the introduction of carbon increases the content of micropores in the material, thereby increasing the specific surface area of the material. Studies have shown that the presence of a hierarchical porous structure is beneficial to improving the specific capacity of the material. Large pores (> 50 nm) always play a role in storing electrolyte ions, mesopores (5-15 nm) are usually channels for lithium ion transmission, and micropores (< 2 nm) provide a place for electrolyte ion adsorption. Therefore, the difference in pore structure will directly affect the electrochemical performance of the material. The rice husk derived carbon@silica composite material provided in the application can maintain the original microstructure of the rice husk and has a hierarchical porous structure, which is beneficial to increasing the specific surface area of the material and forming a stable solid electrolyte interface film to inhibit side reactions, and has a high specific capacity and good cycle stability.
[0140] Figure 6 The SEM photo of RH-SiO2 is shown, and it can be seen that the SiO2 in the rice husk can play a supporting role for the skeleton of the rice husk. The SiO2 in RH-SiO2 is mainly distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of the rice husk, and the thinnest part reaches 13.80 μm, and the thickness of the raised part is about 28.87 μm. Figure 7 The SEM photo of RH-SiO2 is shown, and it can be seen that the SiO2 in the rice husk can play a supporting role for the skeleton of the rice husk. The SiO2 in RH-SiO2 is mainly distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of the rice husk, and the thinnest part reaches 13.80 μm, and the thickness of the raised part is about 28.87 μm. Figure 8 The SEM photo of RH-SiO2 is shown, and it can be seen that the SiO2 in the rice husk can play a supporting role for the skeleton of the rice husk. The SiO2 in RH-SiO2 is mainly distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of the rice husk, and the thinnest part reaches 13.80 μm, and the thickness of the raised part is about 28.87 μm. Figure 7 The SEM photo of RH-SiO2 is shown, and it can be seen that the SiO2 in the rice husk can play a supporting role for the skeleton of the rice husk. The SiO2 in RH-SiO2 is mainly distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of the rice husk, and the thinnest part reaches 13.80 μm, and the thickness of the raised part is about 28.87 μm. Figure 8 The SEM photo of RH-SiO2 is shown, and it can be seen that the SiO2 in the rice husk can play a supporting role for the skeleton of the rice husk. The SiO2 in RH-SiO2 is mainly distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of the rice husk, and the thinnest part reaches 13.80 μm, and the thickness of the raised part is about 28.87 μm.
[0141] Figure 9a The STEM-HAADF photo of C@SiO2-RH in Example 1 is shown, Figure 9b , Figure 9c , Figure 9d The element energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping of O element, Si element and C element, respectively. From Figures 9b-9d it can be seen that C, O and Si elements are uniformly distributed on the slice. Figure 9a It can also be further proved that the SiO2 in the rice husk derived carbon@silica composite material can still maintain the surface morphology and skeleton of the rice husk without collapse. Figure 10 is the EDS spectrum of C@SiO2-RH, fromFigure 10 It can be seen that almost no metal impurities were detected, indicating that the organic matter was retained during the washing process and the metal ions in the rice husk were effectively removed.
[0142] Figure 11 The specific capacities of the rice husk-derived carbon@silica composites in Examples 1-4 at different current densities are shown. -1 , 200mA·g -1 , 400mA·g -1 , 800mA·g -1 , 1000mA·g -1 , 1200mA·g -1 and 1500mA·g -1 The specific capacities at current densities (tested 10 times at each current density) were 482.3 mAh g -1 , 426.4mAh·g -1 、346.2mAh·g -1 , 278.9mAh·g -1 , 265.8mAh·g -1 , 252.2mAh·g -1 and 220.8mAh·g -1 After testing 1500mA·g -1 After the specific capacity is reduced, the current density is increased from 1500mAg -1 Reduced to 100mAg -1 , the discharge capacity recovered and was higher than the initial value, which was 506.8mAhg -1 This indicates that the rice husk-derived carbon@silica composite material provided in this application is applied to the negative electrode material of a lithium-ion battery, and the lithium-ion battery prepared has excellent rate performance.
[0143] from Figure 11 It can also be seen that the theoretical specific capacity of C@SiO2-L and C@SiO2-X prepared in Example 3-4 is significantly better than that of C@SiO2-RH and C@SiO2-L+X prepared in Example 1-2. The inventor speculates that the reasons can be mainly attributed to two aspects. First, the contribution of SiO2 to the specific capacity of lithium-ion batteries is much higher than that of carbon. The SiO2 content in C@SiO2-L and C@SiO2-X is higher, which makes the lithium-ion battery prepared in Example 3-4 have a higher specific capacity. Secondly, C@SiO2-L and C@SiO2-X in Example 3-4, especially C@SiO2-L, have the largest average pore size and a more uniform pore size distribution, which is more conducive to improving the electrochemical properties of the material, thereby making the lithium-ion battery prepared in Example 3-4 have better rate performance.
[0144] Figure 12a and Figure 12b The lithium ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 are shown in FIG. -1 The specific capacity and coulombic efficiency of the battery were measured after 200 cycles. Figure 12a It can be seen that after 200 cycles, the specific capacities of the rice husk-derived carbon@silica composites in Examples 3-4 were 380.3 mAh·g -1 and 378.8mAh·g -1 , higher than the specific capacity of the rice husk-derived carbon@silica composite material of Examples 1-2, and also higher than the theoretical specific capacity of commercial graphite anode materials. The capacity of the C@SiO2-L and C@SiO2-X materials continues to increase after the start of cycling. This is because the SEI film becomes increasingly uniformly coated on the anode surface, enhancing the stability of the anode material. The SiO2 lithiation process is as follows:
[0145] SiO2 + 4Li + + 4e - → 2Li2O + Si (1)
[0146] 2SiO2 + 4Li + + 4e - → Li4SiO4+ Si (2)
[0147]
[0148]
[0149] Among them, 0<x≤4.4, finally Li is generated x Si, it can be inferred that active material silicon with high theoretical specific capacity contribution value will continue to be produced in this process. Figure 12b It can be seen that the coulombic efficiency of the lithium ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 tends to be stable after 25 cycles and is close to 100%, indicating that the lithium ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 all have excellent cycle performance.
[0150] Figure 13 Shown at 400mA·g -1 The specific capacity of C@SiO2-L after 500 cycles and the coulombic efficiency of the lithium ion battery prepared in Example 3 are shown in FIG. Figure 14 Shown at 400mA·g -1 The specific capacity of C@SiO2-X after 500 cycles and the coulombic efficiency of the lithium-ion battery prepared in Example 4. After 5 cycles, the specific capacity of C@SiO2-L in Example 3 and C@SiO2-X in Example 4 were 261.8 mAh·g -1 and 290.3 mAh g-1 After 500 cycles, its specific capacity still remained 486.9 mAh·g -1 and 473.5 mAh·g -1 and still showed a rising trend, proving that the rice husk derived carbon@silicon dioxide composite material in Example 3-4 had excellent cycle stability, so that the lithium ion battery prepared in Example 3-4 had excellent cycle stability.
[0151] In summary, the rice husk derived carbon@silicon dioxide composite material provided in the present application has abundant raw material sources and low cost, realizing waste recycling; its preparation method is simple and easy to operate, green and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for large-scale production. The rice husk derived carbon@silicon dioxide composite material provided in the present application has a hierarchical porous structure and a low charge transfer resistance, which not only helps to form a stable solid electrolyte interface film to inhibit side reactions, but also can improve the negative effects of poor conductivity of silicon dioxide negative electrode material and volume change effect, thereby having good cycle stability. Using the rice husk derived carbon@silicon dioxide composite material provided in the present application as the negative electrode material of the lithium ion battery is conducive to improving the cycle stability and rate performance of the lithium ion battery.
