Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a silicon-carbon anode material, its preparation method, its application, and its battery. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, as efficient and environmentally friendly energy storage devices, are widely used in electric vehicles, mobile devices, and other fields. In lithium-ion batteries, the anode material is one of the key factors affecting battery performance. Silicon suboxide, as a novel anode material, possesses high capacity, good electrochemical performance, and stability, and is considered an ideal anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon suboxide anode materials exhibit severe volume effects during charge and discharge, leading to a decrease in battery cycle stability and rate performance. Therefore, surface modification is a common improvement measure.
[0003] CN116995202A discloses a method for preparing a non-metallic element-doped carbon-coated silicon-oxygen composite anode material. This method uses sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and thiourea to form a tight cross-linked structure on the surface of silicon oxide through an organic cross-linking reaction. After heat treatment, a uniformly distributed and stable nitrogen and sulfur-doped carbon coating layer is formed, which can prevent the silicon oxide from undergoing large volume expansion. However, the uniformity and coverage of the structure formed by organic polymer cross-linking on the SiOx surface may be limited, and a large amount of organic polymer needs to be used in the production process, which may increase costs and environmental burden.
[0004] Carbon coating of silicon suboxide anodes can improve their capacity and first-cycle efficiency. Currently, the mainstream coating gas sources are methane or acetylene. Methane coating can effectively improve lithium-ion intercalation / deintercalation performance; however, methane cracking requires high temperatures, and excessively high temperatures can degrade material properties and limit the maximum operating temperature of equipment, resulting in low methane utilization. Acetylene coating has a lower cracking temperature, but the carbon layer structure formed by acetylene cracking is relatively dense, which restricts the lithium-ion intercalation / deintercalation process, leading to poor cycle performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the defect of poor electrochemical performance of silicon-carbon anode materials in the prior art, and to provide a silicon-carbon anode material, preparation method, application, and battery.
