[0045] An embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of mesocarbon microbead negative electrode material, comprising the following steps S100-S400.

[0047] In some embodiments, the carbon source comprises one or more of coal tar and pitch. Through the treatment of step S100, the carbon source undergoes thermal polymerization and pyrolysis to obtain the first intermediate with a spherical structure.

[0048] The first heat treatment of the carbon source at 400-600°C can cause pyrolysis of the carbon source. Alternatively, the temperature of the first heat treatment is 400°C, 450°C, 500°C, 550°C, 600°C, or any range formed by any of the above values.

[0049] By controlling the heating rate to be 5-20°C / min, uniform pyrolysis of the carbon source can be ensured, avoiding local overheating or incomplete pyrolysis.

[0055] In some embodiments, step S100 is performed in a low-oxygen environment. The volume content of oxygen in the low-oxygen environment is less than or equal to 0.5%. Specifically, step S100 can be performed in an argon environment or an environment with an oxygen volume content of ≤0.5%. By controlling the oxygen content of step S100, the degree of oxidation and structure of the microspheres can be controlled.

[0056] Step S200: performing a second heat treatment on the first intermediate at 1000-1500°C to prepare a second intermediate. By heat treatment at 1000-1500°C, the crystallinity and electrical conductivity of the material can be improved, and the electrochemical performance of the material can be improved. Optionally, the temperature of the second heat treatment is 1000°C, 1100°C, 1200°C, 1300°C, 1400°C, 1500°C, or any range consisting of any of the above values.

[0057] In some embodiments, step S200 includes:

[0058] Step S210: heating the first intermediate to 1000-1500°C at a rate of 5-10°C / min. Optionally, the heating rate is 5°C / min, 6°C / min, 7°C / min, 8°C / min, 9°C / min, 10°C / min, or any range consisting of any of the above values.

[0059] Step S220: keeping the first intermediate at 1000-1500°C for 1-2 hours to perform the second heat treatment.

[0060] Step S230: cooling the product after the second heat treatment to room temperature at a rate of 10°C / min to 20°C / min to obtain a second intermediate.

By controlling the rate of cooling within the above range, the uniformity of thermal stress within the material can be ensured, and deformation or rupture of the microsphere structure caused by temperature changes can be avoided.

[0061] In some embodiments, step S200 is performed in a low-oxygen environment. The volume content of oxygen in the low-oxygen environment is less than or equal to 0.5%. Specifically, step S200 can be performed in an argon environment or an environment with an oxygen volume content of ≤0.5%. By controlling the oxygen content of step S200, the degree of oxidation and structure of the microsphere result can be controlled.

[0062] Step S300: preparing a modified layer on the surface of the second intermediate to obtain a third intermediate. The modified layer includes a silane coupling agent. By preparing a modified layer containing a silane coupling agent on the surface of the second intermediate, the ion diffusion capacity of the material can be enhanced.

The embodiments described below are only preferred embodiments of the present application, which can be used to describe the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be noted that any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0078] Example 1

[0079] (1) First heat treatment: The pitch is heated to 420°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min under an argon atmosphere, then kept at this temperature for 2 hours, and then naturally cooled to room temperature to collect the first intermediate.

[0080] (2) Second heat treatment: the first intermediate was heated to 1500℃ at a heating rate of 5℃ / min under argon atmosphere, then kept for 2 hours, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10℃ / min to obtain a second intermediate.

[0081] (3) Modification layer preparation: the second intermediate was immersed in a silane coupling agent solution for 30 min, then taken out and dried to obtain a third intermediate with a modification layer on the surface.

[0082] (4) Doping nitrogen atoms: the third intermediate and ammonia water were mixed according to a mass ratio of 1:5, heated to 80℃ under inert atmosphere, and kept for 2 hours of reaction, then the mixed system was heated to 180℃ and kept for 1 hour. Then the mixed system was cooled to room temperature, and the obtained solid product was washed with deionized water and ethanol, dried to obtain the mesocarbon microbead negative electrode material.

[0083] Example 2

[0084] The preparation method of the mesocarbon microbead negative electrode material of this example was basically the same as that of Example 1, except that step (4) was doping boron atoms: the third intermediate and ethyl borate solution were mixed according to a mass ratio of 1:2, reacted at room temperature for 6 hours under inert atmosphere; then the mixed system was heated to 60℃ and kept for 2 hours. Then the mixed system was cooled to room temperature, and the obtained solid product was washed with deionized water and dried to obtain the mesocarbon microbead negative electrode material.

[0085] Comparative Example 1

[0086] The negative electrode material of this comparative example was the second intermediate prepared in step (2) of Example 1.

[0087] Negative electrode sheet preparation: the negative electrode material, conductive agent Super P and binder PVDF of the above examples or comparative examples were prepared into a slurry according to a mass ratio of 92:3:5. Then the slurry was coated on a copper foil to prepare a negative electrode sheet.

[0088] Battery preparation: the positive electrode sheet, separator and negative electrode sheet were assembled into a battery cell, then electrolyte was injected, and a test battery was obtained after formation process.

[0089] The above prepared battery was subjected to electrochemical test, and the test method was as follows. The test results are recorded in Table 1.

[0090] Discharge capacity test at different rates: at 25℃, the battery was charged to a specified upper limit voltage, then discharged to a specified lower limit voltage at different rates (0.1C, 0.5C, 1C, 2C, 3C). The discharge capacity was recorded, i.e. the discharge capacity at different rates. Discharge gram capacity = discharge capacity / mass of negative electrode material.

[0091] Discharge capacity test at different temperatures: in different temperature (-20℃, 0℃, 25℃, 60℃) constant temperature box, the battery is charged to the specified upper limit voltage, and then discharged to the specified lower limit voltage at 0.1C rate. Record the discharge capacity, that is, the discharge capacity at different temperatures. Discharge gram capacity = discharge capacity / mass of negative material.

[0092] 100 cycle capacity retention test: the battery is subjected to 100 charge-discharge cycles at 25℃, and the discharge capacity after the 100th cycle is compared with the initial discharge capacity. Capacity retention = (discharge capacity after the 100th cycle / initial discharge capacity) * 100%.
