Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium-ion batteries, specifically to a submicron Ti2CT with high yield and high capacity. x Methods for preparing the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industries such as electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, people have increasingly higher requirements for the fast charging and discharging capabilities of lithium-ion batteries (Weiss M., Ruess R., Kasnatscheew J., et al. Fast Charging of Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Review of Materials Aspects[J]. Advanced Energy Materials, 2021, 11(33): 2101-126.). Charging time has become one of the important indicators for devices powered by lithium-ion batteries, such as electric vehicles and mobile phones. The fast charging and discharging capabilities of lithium-ion batteries mainly depend on the rate performance of the positive and negative electrode materials. At present, materials with high rate performance, such as nano-lithium iron phosphate, have been developed for the positive electrode, while the rate performance of graphite, which is commonly used for the negative electrode, is difficult to meet the current requirements. Excessively fast charging speeds cause lithium metal to deposit on the surface of graphite particles. On the one hand, this hinders the diffusion of lithium ions into the graphite interlayer, reducing capacity. On the other hand, it easily forms lithium dendrites, which can puncture the separator, causing short circuits, leading to thermal runaway and even explosions (Cai W., Yan C., Yao YX, et al. The Boundary of Lithium Plating in Graphite Electrode for Safe Lithium-Ion Batteries[J]. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2021, 60(23): 13007-12.). Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new generation of novel anode materials with excellent rate performance and good safety performance.

[0003] To overcome the bottlenecks in anode materials, researchers have been continuously exploring breakthroughs and conducting extensive scientific research. Recently, a novel two-dimensional layered compound, MXene, has emerged, exhibiting excellent rate performance due to its unique structure and properties, and is expected to become a next-generation anode material for lithium-ion batteries. (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated topic: Ti2CT...) x Maicoene, represented by [a specific enzyme name], boasts the highest theoretical specific capacity of 383 mAh g. -1(Xie Y., Naguib M., Mochalin VN, et al. Role of SurfaceStructure onLi-Ion Energy Storage Capacity of Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Carbides[J]. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2014, 136(17):6385-94.). However, Ti2CT x The rate performance depends on the length of the lithium-ion diffusion path and the size of the specific surface area available for adsorption. Therefore, the control of Ti2CT by synthesizing submicron Ti2AlC is crucial. x The grain size of maicoene is a key factor in solving Ti2CT. x An effective means to improve rate performance. Traditional high-temperature synthesis of Ti2AlC leads to rapid grain growth, making the preparation of submicron-sized Ti2AlC challenging. Researchers have demonstrated that submicron-sized Ti2AlC can be synthesized using nanoscale carbon black, aluminum, and titanium hydride as raw materials via a molten salt method. Etching the submicron-sized Ti2AlC yields submicron Ti2CT. x (Cui C.,Dai R.,Zhang C.,et al.Submicron Ti2CT x MXene Particulates as High-Rate Intercalation Anode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries[J]. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2022, 10(29): 15474-84). However, in the preparation of Ti2CT using submicron Ti2AlC... x The process exhibits high reactivity, readily etching away surface Ti atoms to form Ti vacancies or vacancy clusters. Furthermore, Ti2CT... x The layers are relatively thin and have low chemical stability (Liu S., Liu J., Liu X., et al. Hydrogen Storage in Incompletely Etched Multilayer Ti2CT). x at RoomTemperature[J].Nature Nanotechnology,2021,16(3):331-6.). Therefore, in the preparation of submicron Ti2CT x The process still faces challenges such as low yield and easy oxidation and degradation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a submicron Ti2CT with high yield and high capacity. x A method for preparing lithium-ion battery anodes has been developed, solving the problem of preparing submicron Ti2CT. x The process still faces challenges such as low yield and easy oxidation and degradation, but the electrochemical performance has also been significantly improved, which can meet the requirements of future new energy electric vehicles.

[0010] (3) Submicron Ti2CT x The mixture is mixed with conductive agent and binder to form a uniform slurry, coated onto current collector and dried in a vacuum oven, cut into pieces and assembled into coin cells, and its electrochemical performance is tested.

[0011] The aforementioned submicron Ti2CT with high yield and high capacity xIn the preparation method of lithium-ion battery negative electrode, in step (1), the molar ratio of Ti, Al and C in the reactants used to synthesize submicron Ti2AlC is (1.90~2.10):(0.95~1.10):(0.70~0.90); at least two of KCl, NaCl and LiCl are used as molten salt media, the molar ratio of KCl, NaCl and LiCl is (0~2.10):(0~2.10):(0~2.10), the mass ratio of reactants to molten salt media is (0.5~2.50):(3.50~5.50), the molten salt media and reactants are dispersed in anhydrous ethanol and mixed, and the mixing ball milling time is 5~20h to form a reactant containing molten salt media.

[0012] The aforementioned submicron Ti2CT with high yield and high capacity x In the preparation method of lithium-ion battery anode, in step (1), when synthesizing submicron Ti2AlC, the reactants containing molten salt medium are heated in a tube furnace at a temperature of 900-1200℃ and a holding time of 0.5-5h, and the prepared submicron Ti2AlC grain size is 100-500nm.

[0013] The aforementioned submicron Ti2CT with high yield and high capacity x In the preparation method of the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery, in step (2), the polyol is one or more of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, and polyglycerol, and the acidic etching solution is one or two of hydrofluoric acid or hydrochloric acid + lithium fluoride, with a concentration of 5-12 mol / L. -1 Wherein: hydrochloric acid + lithium fluoride is a hydrochloric acid solution of lithium fluoride, and the concentration of lithium fluoride is 3-10 mol / L. -1 The volume ratio of acidic solution to polyol was (0.5–2.00):(0.5–5.00), the reaction temperature was 25–35℃, and the reaction time was 0.5–15 days, to prepare submicron Ti2CT. x The grain size is 100–500 nm.

[0014] The aforementioned submicron Ti2CT with high yield and high capacity x In the preparation method of the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery, in step (3), submicron Ti2CT x It is mixed with conductive agent Super P and binder polyvinylidene fluoride in a mass ratio of (7-9):(0.5-1.5):(0.5-1.5), and ground and mixed evenly with N-methylpyrrolidone as dispersant.

However, the following embodiments are merely simple examples of this invention and do not represent or limit the scope of protection of this invention. The scope of protection of this invention is determined by the claims.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] In this embodiment, a submicron Ti2CT with high yield and high capacity is described. x The preparation method of lithium-ion battery negative electrode is as follows:

[0038] (1) First, the synthesis of submicron Ti₂AlC: 9.57 g of Ti powder, 2.83 g of Al powder, 0.96 g of C powder, 29.97 g of KCl, and 23.50 g of NaCl were dispersed in 100 mL of anhydrous ethanol and ball-milled for 10 h. After drying, the mixture was placed in a tube furnace and kept at 1000 °C for 1 h. After cooling, NaCl and KCl were washed away, and the mixture was dried for later use. Figure 1 As shown, Ti2AlC was obtained as a pure phase, and the synthesized Ti2AlC was a sheet with a diameter of approximately 200 nm. Figure 2 As shown.

[0039] (2) Submicron Ti2CT x Preparation: First, prepare an acidic mixture of ethylene glycol and hydrofluoric acid, with a hydrofluoric acid concentration of 22.4 mol / L. -1 Ethylene glycol and hydrofluoric acid stock solution were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1. 1 g of submicron Ti₂Al₃ was slowly added to 10 mL of the acidic mixture. The reaction temperature was 25 °C, and the reaction time was 1 day, until no more bubbles were generated. The mixture was then washed, filtered, and dried for later use. The resulting submicron Ti₂Al₃ was then ready for use. x The grain size is 200nm.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the submicron Ti2CT in Example 1 x The XRD pattern shows that all the Al atoms in Ti2AlC have been etched away, and the interlayer spacing has increased significantly, which is conducive to the diffusion of lithium ions between layers.

[0041] (3) Submicron Ti2CT x Battery anode material preparation: First, submicron Ti2CT... x Super P and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were mixed at a mass ratio of 8:1:1, and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) was used as a dispersant to grind and mix into a slurry. NMP accounted for 94% of the total slurry mass. The slurry was uniformly coated onto copper foil and dried in a vacuum oven at 140℃ for 12 hours. Then, the foil was cut and assembled into coin cells, and its electrochemical performance was tested. Submicron Ti2CT was obtained by ethylene glycol-assisted etching. x High chemical stability effectively reduces the surface Ti vacancy concentration of Ti-C sheets, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance: such as Figure 4 As shown, at a charging rate of 0.05C, the specific charging capacity reaches 243mAh g. -1 Even at a high 5C charging rate, the charging capacity remains at 124mAh.-1 It exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. For example... Figure 5 As shown, this material exhibits excellent rate performance, submicron Ti2CT x It not only exhibits excellent rate performance but also high cycle stability. For example... Figure 6 As shown, after 400 cycles at a high 1C rate, the charging capacity still reaches 195mAh. -1 The capacity shows almost no decay. Meanwhile, submicron Ti2CT... x The yield of battery anode materials is increased by 50% compared to when no polyols are added.

[0044] The only difference from Example 1 is that glycerol was used as the auxiliary etching polyol. This was applied to the preparation of submicron Ti2CT using glycerol-assisted etching. x At that time, glycerol can better mask Ti2CT. x The defects and edges at which the reaction speed is slowed down more significantly, and the Ti2CT is also reduced. x Defect concentration significantly improves electrochemical performance while increasing yield and chemical stability: for example Figure 7 As shown, at a charging rate of 0.05C, the specific charging capacity reaches 591mAh g. -1 Even at a high 5C charging rate, the charging capacity remains at 196mAh g. -1 Its high-rate performance surpasses that of currently commercially available graphite. For example... Figure 8 As shown, this material exhibits excellent rate performance. Figure 9 As shown, submicron Ti2CT x It not only exhibits excellent rate performance but also high cycle stability, maintaining a charging capacity of 181mAh g after 400 cycles at 1C. -1 Meanwhile, submicron Ti2CT x The yield of battery anode materials is nearly 85% higher than that without the addition of polyols.
