Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and in particular to a tin-based negative electrode material for a lithium ion battery with a double confinement effect and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries play an important role in fields such as electric vehicles and portable electronic devices due to their advantages of high energy density, environmental friendliness and no memory effect. With the continuous development of technology, the demand for research on high-performance battery negative electrode materials has also increased. Graphite has the characteristics of low cost, good electronic conductivity, long cycle life and stable capacity. It is one of the negative electrode materials currently used in commercial applications of lithium-ion batteries. For the negative electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries, the capacity of commercial graphite-based carbon negative electrode materials is very close to the theoretical specific capacity of graphite (372mAh g -1 ), it is very difficult to improve the specific capacity of such materials. In order to obtain negative electrode materials with higher specific capacity, researchers need to conduct more in-depth research to explore and develop new high-performance negative electrode materials.

[0003] Among the many new potential negative electrode materials, tin-based materials can form alloy compounds with lithium metal with high specific capacity, Li 4.4 Sn. In particular, the theoretical specific capacity of metallic tin is as high as 994 mAh g -1 , which is more than 2 times higher than the specific capacity of commercial graphite carbon materials. In addition, metallic tin has attracted attention due to its advantages such as abundant reserves, high safety and environmental friendliness, making it considered a good material to replace commercial graphite carbon negative electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, metallic tin is prone to huge volume expansion and contraction during the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, causing the metallic tin to become powdery and fall off from the current collector, ultimately leading to a serious reduction in the specific capacity of the electrode material, and deterioration of the cycle performance and rate performance. In order to alleviate this problem, many researchers have conducted research on metallic tin nano-sizing, the introduction of active or inactive buffer matrices, etc. Among them, the introduction of a matrix with a buffering effect, such as carbon material, can effectively reduce the impact of the "volume effect" of metallic tin on the reduction of electrode capacity and the deterioration of cycle life.

[0004] Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial with a large specific surface area, good mechanical elasticity, and superior electrical conductivity. By combining metallic tin with graphene, the large specific surface area and high electrical conductivity of graphene can not only provide sufficient space to alleviate the volume expansion and contraction effects of metallic tin, but also improve the cyclic stability of the composite material and reduce the internal resistance of the composite material. Studies have shown that graphene doped with heteroatoms such as B, N, S, and P can improve the electronic properties of the composite material, increase the lithium storage capacity of the material, and reduce the internal resistance of the material. Although tin / graphene materials can be prepared by various means, such materials still face great challenges in terms of low-cost and large-scale preparation. Therefore, the exploration and development of tin / graphene composite materials that are simple, fast, highly controllable, and easy to prepare on a large scale has become a research hotspot. Summary of the Invention
