TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and relates to a pre-lithiated negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof, a pre-lithiated electrochemical device and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the vigorous development of the global new energy industry, lithium ion batteries are widely used in electronic products, electric tools, electric vehicles and energy storage fields due to their high energy density, low self-discharge, long service life, green environmental protection, reasonable cost and other advantages. With the increasing demand for energy reserves, lithium ion batteries need to carry higher energy density and exhibit better electrochemical performance.
[0003] Silicon-based negative electrodes have become a research hotspot in the field of high-energy-density lithium ion battery negative electrode materials at home and abroad due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, the silicon-based negative electrode material has a high volume expansion rate during charging and discharging, and the silicon particles are prone to breakage and pulverization, which affects the mechanical structural integrity of the electrode. At the same time, the repeated rupture and formation of the SEI film on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material consumes a large amount of electrolyte and active lithium ions, resulting in an increase in the internal resistance of the lithium battery and a decrease in the electrochemical performance. Especially at high temperatures, the stability of the SEI film is poor, the side reactions are intensified, and the performance of the lithium battery is severely deteriorated. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a stable SEI film, improve the interface stability of the silicon-based negative electrode material, and improve the high-temperature storage performance and cycle performance of the lithium battery.
[0004] For example, Chinese Patent Application CN115036492A discloses a preparation method of a lithium ion battery surface modified silicon negative electrode material, which specifically coats PAN on the surface of Si. The PAN coated on the surface of Si can react with S or Se under heat treatment conditions to generate PANS or PANSe. PANS / Se generates PAN-Li x S / Se artificial SEI film after pre-lithiation by soaking in a diphenyl lithium-tetrahydrofuran solution, effectively improving the first coulombic efficiency, cycle performance and rate performance of the silicon-based negative electrode lithium ion battery. However, the diphenyl lithium-tetrahydrofuran solution has high flammability and high safety risks, and PAN-Li x S / Se as an artificial SEI film, on the one hand, PAN is not conductive, and on the other hand, it is prone to produce non-conductive residues (S, SeO3) during charging and discharging, affecting the spatial continuity of the electrode and restricting electron transmission.
[0005] Chinese patent application CN113745519A discloses a silicon-based negative electrode material with an artificial SEI film and a preparation method and application thereof. The silicon-based negative electrode material and agarose are mixed and heated, and then dried to obtain a silicon-based negative electrode material. The silicon-based negative electrode material prepared by the present application has good combination of silicon-based negative electrode material and agarose. The non-polar bond in agarose improves the ionic conductivity. The polar group inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites, reduces the consumption of lithium ions in the first charge and discharge, and further reduces the irreversible capacity of the battery, improves the first coulomb efficiency and cycle stability of the battery. However, the artificial SEI film does not contain Li, and the contact resistance with the electrolyte component is large, which reduces the battery performance.
[0006] In summary, the prior art still lacks a negative electrode material capable of alleviating the volume expansion of a silicon-based negative electrode material and having a chemically stable artificial SEI film and a preparation method thereof.

[0042] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the application clearer, the following will combine the embodiments of the application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only used to help understand the application and should not be regarded as specific limitation on the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application. The process parameters not specified in the following embodiments are usually according to conventional conditions.
[0043] The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed in the application are not limited to the precise values stated. The ranges or values should be interpreted as approximately between the stated values. For ranges, the endpoints are included between each respective range; the endpoints are included in the respective range or ranges; and each respective range is a separate and independent range. Any numerical values include all values from the lower numerical limit to the upper numerical limit.
[0044] According to a first aspect of the application, a pre-lithiation negative electrode material is provided, comprising a silicon-based negative electrode material and an artificial SEI film coated on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material.
[0045] The electrolyte for forming the artificial SEI film comprises a lithium salt, a fluorine-containing additive and a solvent, the fluorine-containing additive comprises heptafluoropropyl 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, and the solvent comprises an ether organic solvent.
[0046] Specifically, the structure of the pre-lithiation negative electrode material in the application is actually a core-shell structure, the inner core is the silicon-based negative electrode material, and the shell is the artificial SEI film coated on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material. The artificial SEI film can be completely coated on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material or partially coated on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material.
[0047] In the present application, a specific type of fluorine-containing additive, heptafluoropropyl 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, is added to the electrolyte for forming the artificial SEI film. The heptafluoropropyl 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether has a molecular structure containing a large number of fluorine atoms, which can coordinate with lithium salt and reduce to form a stable artificial SEI film with LiF as the main component on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material. The artificial SEI film rich in LiF can, on the one hand, adjust the uniform deposition of the lithium flux, optimize the lithium storage structure of the pre-lithiated negative electrode material, and avoid local over-lithiation leading to stress cracking of the silicon-based negative electrode material; on the other hand, it has good mechanical stability, good flexibility and rigidity, and can effectively alleviate the volume expansion of the silicon-based negative electrode material. The in-situ formed LiF has a certain self-repairing function. At the same time, the interface resistance between the artificial SEI film and the electrolyte is small, and the lithium ion transport performance is excellent, which can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of the silicon-based negative electrode material and improve the high-temperature storage performance and cycle performance of the lithium ion battery. Through pre-lithiation of the silicon-based negative electrode material, the irreversible capacity loss of the lithium battery can be effectively reduced, and the coulombic efficiency can be improved. +
[0048] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the electrolyte includes the following components in mass fraction of 100%: lithium salt 5-15%, fluorine-containing additive 5-15%, and solvent 70-90%.
[0049] The typical but non-limiting mass fraction of the fluorine-containing additive is 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%, or 15%, and any numerical range between any two of the above values. Too little or too much of the fluorine-containing additive will have adverse effects. Too little (less than 5%) of the fluorine-containing additive will affect the proportion of LiF in the SEI film, and too much (more than 15%) of the fluorine-containing additive will easily lead to a decrease in the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, which is not conducive to the uniform deposition of lithium ions. Therefore, the amount of the fluorine-containing additive is preferably controlled within the above numerical range.
[0050] The typical but non-limiting mass fraction of the lithium salt in the electrolyte is 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%, or 15%, and any numerical range between any two of the above values. In addition to the limited amount of lithium salt, the type of lithium salt is also further limited. As an optional embodiment of the present application, the lithium salt includes any one or a combination of at least two of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide, or lithium nitrate.
[0051] The typical but non-limiting mass fraction of the solvent used in the electrolyte is 70%, 72%, 75%, 78%, 80%, 82%, 85%, 88%, or 90%, and any numerical range between any two of the above values.
[0052] Different from the traditional use of ethylene carbonate and / or methyl ethyl carbonate as electrolyte solvent, the present application has further improvement on the type of solvent. As an optional embodiment of the present application, the solvent includes any one of 1,3-dioxolane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethyl ether or 2,2-dimethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, or a combination of at least two of them. Such solvent will not cause the agglomeration of negative electrode material, and hinder the flow of electrolyte.
[0053] When the electrolyte forms an artificial SEI film on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material, the mass ratio of the electrolyte to the silicon-based negative electrode material will affect the uniformity of the electrochemical reaction. If the mass ratio is too low, the electrolyte flowability is poor, and if the mass ratio is too high, the whole negative electrode material cannot contact the copper foil during the pre-lithiation process, and the formed SEI film is incomplete. As an optional embodiment of the present application, the mass ratio of the electrolyte to the silicon-based negative electrode material is 40-60:40-60. The typical but non-limiting mass ratio of the electrolyte to the silicon-based negative electrode material is 40:40, 40:50, 40:60, 50:40, 50:50, 50:60, 60:40, 60:50 or 60:60, etc.
[0054] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the silicon-based negative electrode material includes any one of pure silicon negative electrode material, silicon-carbon negative electrode material or silicon-oxygen negative electrode material, or a combination of at least two of them.
[0055] The carbon in the silicon-carbon negative electrode material includes any one of soft carbon, hard carbon, artificial graphite or natural graphite, or a combination of at least two of them, wherein typical but non-limiting combination examples include: a combination of soft carbon and hard carbon, a combination of hard carbon and artificial graphite, a combination of artificial graphite and natural graphite.
[0056] Typical but non-limiting combination examples of the silicon-based negative electrode material include: a combination of natural graphite and silicon, a combination of silicon and silicon oxide compound, a combination of silicon oxide compound and silicon carbon compound, a combination of silicon and silicon carbon compound, etc. For example, SiC / graphite or SiO / graphite, wherein the mass ratio of SiC / SiO:graphite is 3-20:80-97. It should be noted that in the above combination examples, the silicon-containing substance (pure silicon, silicon oxide compound or silicon carbon compound) needs to be pre-lithiated, while the carbon-containing substance (soft carbon, hard carbon, hard carbon or artificial graphite, etc.) can be pre-lithiated or not, and the relevant operation is carried out according to the actual needs.
[0057] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the main components of the artificial SEI film include Li2CO3 and LiF. The above main components are mainly the products combined with lithium ions after the reduction and decomposition of the fluorine-containing additive and part of the solvent.
[0058] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the artificial SEI film is 50-300 nm.

[0061] The mixed solution after the charge-discharge treatment is subjected to centrifugal separation, and the separated solid material is washed and dried to obtain the pre-lithiated negative electrode material.
[0062] The preparation method mainly realizes the lithium supplement (or pre-lithiation) on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material through electrolysis of the electrolyte, and the formed artificial SEI film has stable chemical properties and good contact with the electrolyte.
[0063] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the inert atmosphere includes helium or argon. The mixed solution of the silicon-based negative electrode material and the electrolyte is placed in an inert atmosphere to prevent the electrolyte from absorbing water. If the water content in the electrolyte is more than the required content for the system to form the SEI film, POF3 and LiF precipitates will be generated on the surface of the SEI film, resulting in an increase in the internal resistance of the negative electrode.
[0064] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the flow rate is 0.01-1 L / min, and a typical but non-limiting flow rate is 0.01 L / min, 0.05 L / min, 0.1 L / min, 0.2 L / min, 0.4 L / min, 0.5 L / min, 0.6 L / min, 0.8 L / min or 1 L / min, and a range between any two values.

[0067] By further limiting the voltage window and the current density, the degree and rate of pre-lithiation can be accurately controlled, and the structure of the artificial SEI film can be precisely regulated.
[0068] As an optional embodiment of the present application, before the charge-discharge treatment, a step of stirring and heating treatment of the mixed solution placed in an inert atmosphere is further included.
[0069] Stirring can make the electrochemical reaction more uniform. As an optional embodiment of the present application, the stirring speed is 500-2000 rpm / min. Typical but non-limiting stirring speeds are 500 rpm / min, 600 rpm / min, 800 rpm / min, 1000 rpm / min, 1200 rpm / min, 1500 rpm / min, 1600 rpm / min, 1800 rpm / min or 2000 rpm / min and a numerical range between any two values.
[0070] Heating treatment can make the electrolyte have low viscosity and good flowability, and the artificial SEI film formed has high density and good consistency. As an optional embodiment of the present application, the heating treatment temperature is 25-50°C, preferably 30-40°C, and more preferably 35°C. Typical but non-limiting heating treatment temperatures are 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C or 50°C and a numerical range between any two values.
[0071] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the solvent used for washing includes any one or a combination of at least two of pure water, ethanol or dimethyl carbonate. The above-mentioned solvents are used for washing to facilitate the recycling of the electrolyte.
[0072] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the drying temperature is -50-80°C, and the drying time is 10-20h. Typical but non-limiting drying temperatures are -50°C, -40°C, -30°C, -20°C, -10°C, 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C or 80°C.
[0073] According to a third aspect of the present application, a pre-lithiation electrochemical device for implementing the above-mentioned preparation method of the pre-lithiation negative electrode material is also provided, which comprises a pre-lithiation device and a circulation device in communication with the pre-lithiation device, as shown in Figure 1 specifically.
[0074] The prelithiation device comprises a lithium supplementing foil 1, a diaphragm 2, a clamping plate 3, a heating and stirring device 4 and a copper foil 5, the lithium supplementing foil 1 and the diaphragm 2 are stacked on the clamping plate 3, the diaphragm 2 is located between the lithium supplementing foil 1 and the clamping plate 3, the copper foil 5 is located on the side of the clamping plate 3 away from the lithium supplementing foil 1, the copper foil 5 and the clamping plate 3 form an internal circuit space 6 for storing a mixed solution formed by the silicon-based negative electrode material and the electrolyte, and the heating and stirring device 4 is further arranged in the internal circuit space 6 formed by the copper foil 5 and the clamping plate 3.

[0153] In order to compare the technical effects of the above-mentioned examples and comparative examples, the following experimental examples are provided.
[0154] Experimental Example 1
[0155] The pre-lithiated negative material in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-6 was prepared into soft package 505060 lithium ion batteries using a soft package lamination process. The NCM811 positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet (mass ratio of negative electrode material: conductive agent: carboxymethyl cellulose sodium CMC: polyacrylic acid PAA was 96.0: 1.0: 1.2: 1.8, wherein the negative electrode material included graphite and the pre-lithiated negative electrode material, and the mass ratio of the pre-lithiated negative electrode material and the graphite was 10:90) and a polyethylene separator (for example, a PE+OBS separator) were laminated, assembled, baked to pass moisture, injected with electrolyte (solvents were ethylene carbonate EC, propylene carbonate PC, methyl ethyl carbonate EMC and dimethyl carbonate DMC, lithium salts were LiPF6 and LiFSI, and additives were vinylene carbonate VC, fluoroethylene carbonate FEC, vinyl sulfate DTD and 1,3-propane sulfonolide 1-3 PS), packaged after heat pressing formation and high temperature standing, and stored at room temperature after being divided and contained to obtain soft package 505060 finished batteries. The above batteries were subjected to electrochemical performance testing.
[0156] Discharge performance at different temperatures: constant current and constant voltage charging was performed at 25°C and 1C on an electrochemical workstation battery test system, the cutoff current was 0.05C, and discharge was performed at different temperatures (-20°C, 0°C, 25°C, 45°C) and 1C, and the charge and discharge voltage window was 2.75V-4.2V.
[0157] Storage performance: constant current and constant voltage charging was performed at 25°C and 1C on an electrochemical workstation battery test system until the voltage was 4.2V, then the lithium ion battery was placed in a constant temperature oven at 60°C, and stored for 30 days, then the capacity retention was calculated. The capacity retention = the discharge capacity after storage / the discharge capacity before storage.
[0158] At the same time, considering that the formation of the SEI film requires consumption of lithium ions, if the SEI film structure is unstable, it is more likely to decompose at high temperatures, and when recharged, lithium ions inside the battery will be consumed to regenerate the SEI film, and the consumed lithium ions will cause irreversible capacity of the battery, so the recovery rate was determined. The recovery rate = the average of the discharge capacity of the last 3 times of 5 standard cycles after storage / the discharge capacity before storage. The standard cycle is a charge and discharge cycle at 1C.
[0159] Cycle performance: the charge and discharge current density was 0.5C / 1C, and the charge and discharge voltage window was 2.75V-4.2V, which were tested at 25°C on an electrochemical workstation battery test system.
[0160] Table 1
[0161]
[0162] As can be seen from Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-6, the fluorine ether electrolyte additive heptafluoropropyl 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether can form an artificial SEI film on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material, which has good contact with the electrolyte, small interface resistance, can accelerate the transmission rate of lithium ions at the electrode / electrolyte interface, and improve the discharge retention rate of the lithium battery at low temperature. At the same time, from the above retention rate and recovery rate data, it can be seen that the artificial SEI film formed on the surface of the silicon-based negative electrode material has stable chemical properties and good high temperature stability, avoids the occurrence of electrode / electrolyte interface side reactions during high temperature process, and improves the high temperature storage performance of the lithium battery. The SEI film rich in LiF adjusts the uniform deposition of the flux, optimizes the lithium storage structure of the pre-lithiated silicon-based negative electrode, avoids local over-lithiation leading to stress rupture of the silicon material, and effectively relieves the volume expansion of the silicon-based material by its flexibility and rigidity, thereby improving the cycle performance of the lithium battery. + The flux adjusts the uniform deposition of the flux, optimizes the lithium storage structure of the pre-lithiated silicon-based negative electrode, avoids local over-lithiation leading to stress rupture of the silicon material, and effectively relieves the volume expansion of the silicon-based material by its flexibility and rigidity, thereby improving the cycle performance of the lithium battery.
