Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a multi-level structure silicon-based negative electrode material, a modified silicon-based negative electrode material and preparation and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have become one of the key components of portable devices, especially in mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers and electric vehicles, due to their high energy density and long cycle life. However, with the increasing global demand for lithium-ion batteries, there are bottlenecks in energy density, safety and life. At present, negative electrode materials with high specific capacity and excellent rate performance are the key to improving the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Compared with traditional commercial graphite (372 mAh·g -1 ), silicon (Si) has great potential and is widely studied due to its unique high specific capacity (4200 mAh·g -1 ), low operating voltage, high charge-discharge cycleability, high rate performance, sufficient safety, low cost, environmental protection, high stability and scalability. It has played a crucial role in promoting the rapid development of portable electronic devices. However, silicon-based negative electrode electrodes have certain limitations, such as low electrical conductivity, large volume fluctuation (300%) during electrochemical operation, which leads to rapid capacity degradation and low performance. In the process of de-lithiation / intercalation, the volume of silicon inevitably expands and shrinks greatly, causing material pulverization, and then continuously forming an unstable SEI film, leading to electrolyte depletion to form a solid electrolyte, which will eventually accelerate capacity decay and seriously affect cycle stability. In addition, the inherent low conductivity of silicon seriously hinders its practical application.

[0003] To effectively alleviate these problems, it is urgent to develop a silicon-based anode with stable structure and improved electrochemical performance by changing the morphology and structure of silicon. The most effective method is to reasonably design silicon-based materials with unique structures, such as nano-silicon, porous silicon and silicon-carbon composite materials. Studies have shown that nano-silicon particles can significantly reduce the mechanical strain caused by volume change and maintain the structural integrity of the material, thereby improving the cycle stability of silicon. The enhancement of cycle stability is due to the increase of specific surface area, the shortening of lithium ion diffusion path and the existence of a large number of pores in the nanostructure. The preparation of silicon nanomaterials usually uses liquid phase method or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, which usually involves toxic silane gas and has low yield, limiting their practical application. The thermal reduction of Mg has been of particular interest, SiO2 can be reduced to Si by magnesium thermal reduction reaction: SiO2(s) + 2Mg(g) → Si(s) + 2MgO(s), which provides a simple, large-scale and environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of silicon nanomaterials. However, a large number of literature and commercial research have shown that a portion of magnesium elements in the pre-magnesium silicon particles still cannot be completely reacted with silicon, which also affects the actual battery capacity of the pre-magnesium silicon-based anode material. At the same time, there is no research content on the remaining magnesium problem of pre-magnesium.

[0004] To make the silicon-based anode material have better cycle stability and rate performance, in addition to preparation by magnesium thermal reduction, carbon materials can also be selected as stress buffer substrates on this basis to adapt to the larger volume change during silicon lithiation, while improving the electrical conductivity. Carbon materials have excellent structural stability and electrochemical activity, and good compatibility with silicon materials can promote the formation of composite materials. In this new type of composite material, silicon particles provide sufficient specific capacity, and carbon materials inhibit the volume expansion effect of the composite material. The two form a three-dimensional interpenetrating conductive network, which helps to improve the cycle performance and high-rate performance of the silicon-based anode. However, traditional carbon materials usually use an external coating method for silicon-carbon composites, which also leads to poor dispersion between silicon and carbon, and the contact area between the two is limited, which cannot fully exert the performance of silicon-carbon composite materials.

[0005] Patent CN116169256A provides a preparation method of a silicon-carbon negative electrode material. The method uses silica aerogel material as the substrate, combines with the fluidized bed reactor, and passes in silane gas for chemical deposition and gas fluidization process to obtain a silicon-carbon negative electrode material after coating the surface with nano-silicon. Although this patent improves the volume expansion and electrochemical performance of the material, the content of the carbon material coating layer is not easy to control, and the chemical vapor deposition method used has high cost, involves high temperature and toxic silane gas, and has problems such as low yield, high danger and difficult control, which limits their practical application.

[0006] Patent CN116573647A provides a preparation method of a porous silicon-carbon negative material based on a silicon aerogel structure. By adjusting the co-gelation of tetraethyl orthosilicate and phenolic resin, and then through freeze-drying and high-temperature reduction carbonization treatment, a silicon-carbon composite three-dimensional nano-porous structure material is prepared. The carbon material is introduced while the porous structure is constructed. Although the carbon composite process is improved, the vacuum freeze-drying method used in the patent is complex and has high cost. Moreover, the first coulombic efficiency is low and the electrochemical performance such as charge and discharge capacity is poor, which still has a large gap from practical application.

[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a silicon-based negative electrode material that can solve the problem of residual magnesium after pre-magnification, while also having high capacity, high first efficiency, and low expansion rate. SUMMARY

[0136] Effect Implementation Example

[0137] The structural schematic diagram of the silicon-based negative electrode material prepared by the application is shown in Figure 1 .

[0138] The silicon-based negative electrode material prepared above is mixed with the binder PAA and the conductive agent Super P at a mass ratio of 8:1:1, coated on a copper foil after uniform slurry, and vacuum dried and rolled to prepare a negative electrode sheet. A 1 mol / L LiPF6 mixed solvent (volume ratio of ethyl carbonate: dimethyl carbonate: methyl carbonate = 1:2:1) is used as an electrolyte, a polypropylene microporous membrane is used as a separator, and a metal lithium sheet is used as a counter electrode. A button cell is assembled in an argon-filled inert gas glove box system.

[0139] At 25°C, the assembled half-cell is subjected to charge-discharge cycle test using a blue light tester to obtain the data of specific capacity, first coulombic efficiency, and 100-cycle cycle capacity retention rate. The test conditions for specific capacity and first coulombic efficiency are: voltage 0.01V-1.5V, current density 0.05C; and the test conditions for 100-cycle cycle capacity retention rate are: voltage 0.01V-1.5V, current density 0.2C. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0140] Table 1

[0141]

[0142] As can be seen from the above table, the negative electrode material prepared by the embodiments of the application has excellent first charge specific capacity, first discharge specific capacity, first coulombic efficiency, and cycle performance when applied to a battery.

[0143] The raw material formula for preparing carbon aerogel is adjusted in Examples 1-3, and the above-mentioned electrochemical performance fluctuates within a certain range, but still has a significant advantage compared with the prior art.

[0144] Compared with Example 2, the organic silicon source is selected as the raw material when preparing the silicon aerogel in Example 4, and Example 7 is not modified and deposited, and the negative electrode material prepared by the two methods has improved first charge specific capacity, slightly reduced first discharge specific capacity, first coulombic efficiency, and 100-cycle cycle capacity retention rate when applied to a battery.

[0145] Examples 2, 5 and 6 respectively use different modified deposition materials and methods to optimize the prepared multi-level structure silicon-based negative electrode material. Among them, the effect of Example 2 is the best. It is speculated that this is because in the process of preparing pre-magnesium silicon particles, a part of the metal magnesium still cannot be completely reacted with the silicon oxide source, and the residual metal magnesium has a certain influence on the battery capacity; and the P element doped in Example 2 makes the Mg and Si atoms lose more electrons, forming ionic bonds between Mg-P and Si-P, strengthening the Si-Si ionic bond, and the P-doped silicon nanotube superlattice coexists with ionic bonds and covalent bonds, and the P-doped silicon nanotube can absorb the unreacted Mg element, further improving the lithium ion exchange rate in the cycle process, and effectively avoiding the danger of residual metal magnesium.

[0146] Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 respectively lack carbon aerogel and silicon aerogel, and the amount of PVP in Comparative Example 3 is too much. When the negative electrode material prepared by it is applied to the battery, the first charge specific capacity, the first discharge specific capacity, the first coulombic efficiency and the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles are all significantly reduced.
