Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium-ion batteries, and more particularly to a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, as the mainstream rechargeable battery technology, are widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage, greatly improving people's lives. With changing application environments, there is an increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries with rapid charge and discharge capabilities, such as in start-stop batteries for automobiles, high-speed trains, subways, and batteries for drones and model aircraft.

[0003] Rapid charge-discharge performance requires lithium-ion batteries to complete electrochemical reactions in an extremely short time. Therefore, high requirements are placed on electron and ion transport, especially the transport speed of lithium ions in and around the negative electrode, which is a key factor limiting the high specific power of lithium-ion batteries. Currently commercially available negative electrode materials include graphite, amorphous carbon materials, and lithium titanate. Graphite can achieve a specific capacity of over 300 mA·h / g and a first-cycle coulombic efficiency of over 90%. However, graphite materials suffer from poor structural stability and poor compatibility with electrolytes. During charge and discharge, it is prone to co-intercalation reactions with propylene carbonate organic solvents in the electrolyte, leading to structural damage and affecting the battery's cycle stability and charge-discharge efficiency. Furthermore, the anisotropic structure of graphite restricts the free diffusion of lithium ions within the graphite structure, and the small interlayer spacing affects the rate performance of graphite negative electrode materials. Amorphous carbon materials mainly include hard carbon and soft carbon. Compared with graphite, they have lower crystallinity, micropores, and less regular and ordered layered structures. Repeating graphite layers are generally less than 2-3 layers. This interlaced layered structure allows Li+ to intercalate and deintercalate from various angles of the material, and the larger interlayer spacing facilitates rapid lithium-ion diffusion, enabling rapid charge and discharge. Because they do not exhibit solvent co-intercalation and significant lattice expansion and contraction, which are common in graphite materials, hard and soft carbon materials have the advantage of good cycle performance. Furthermore, since the processing does not require graphitization, their cost is significantly lower than that of graphite-based anode materials. However, these materials have low initial cycle efficiency (40-60%) and low specific capacity (around 300 mAh / g), limiting their commercial application. Summary of the Invention

[0050]

[0051] Results show that compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the first-cycle coulombic efficiency of the battery prepared using the negative electrode material of this invention is improved by about 4%. This is due to the better asphalt coating effect, which further reduces the specific surface area, and the reduction of surface oxygen atom content caused by heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere. Compared with Comparative Example 3, the introduction of Na salt in the preparation steps of this invention creates more micropores inside the particles during the subsequent high-temperature carbonization process, utilizing the activation and pore-forming ability of Na ions. This provides space for lithium ion storage, thereby improving the reversible charge-discharge specific capacity. Moreover, the reduction of surface oxygen atom content caused by thermal reduction treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere also leads to a high first-cycle coulombic efficiency. Compared with Comparative Examples 4 and 5, a high C / Na salt molar ratio increases the reversible specific capacity but decreases the first-cycle coulombic efficiency; a low C / Na salt molar ratio results in a relatively high first-cycle coulombic efficiency but a low reversible specific capacity. Compared with Comparative Examples 6 and 7, a higher asphalt mass fraction results in a relatively high first-cycle coulombic efficiency but a low reversible specific capacity; a low asphalt mass fraction results in an insufficiently high first-cycle coulombic efficiency. Compared to Comparative Examples 8 and 9, the high-temperature carbonization temperature was too low, resulting in a higher reversible specific capacity but a lower first-cycle coulombic efficiency; the high-temperature carbonization temperature was too high, which, while improving the first-cycle coulombic efficiency, significantly reduced the capacity. Compared to Comparative Examples 10 and 11, the N2 / H2 volume ratio was too low, resulting in a sufficiently high first-cycle coulombic efficiency but a lower reversible specific capacity; while the volume ratio was too high, leading to a significant decrease in first-cycle coulombic efficiency. Based on extensive experiments, this invention proposes the parameter range for the preparation process of this invention. In summary, using the anode material of this invention, both high reversible capacity and high first-cycle coulombic efficiency can be obtained.
