[0002] During the use of lithium-ion batteries, lithium ions are deintercalated from the positive electrode and then intercalated into the negative electrode. When lithium ions intercalate into the negative electrode, lithium dendrites may form on the negative electrode surface, a problem known as lithium plating. This plating can adversely affect the battery's cycling performance. Lithium dendrites may even pierce the separator, causing contact between the positive and negative electrodes and potentially leading to safety hazards such as combustion or explosion. Therefore, preventing lithium plating in batteries is crucial to maintaining their cycling performance. Summary of the Invention

[0022] An embodiment of the present application provides a negative electrode material, comprising a negative electrode active material and a lithium dendrite-consuming material, wherein the lithium dendrite-consuming material is located on at least a portion of the surface of the negative electrode active material, and the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is ≥1 V. In the negative electrode material of this embodiment, by introducing the lithium dendrite-consuming material, when lithium dendrites are generated, the lithium dendrite-consuming material can react with the lithium dendrites to avoid further growth of the lithium dendrites, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of lithium precipitation. It can be understood that the lithium dendrite-consuming material refers to a material that can react with lithium dendrites and consume the lithium dendrites.
[0023] Furthermore, the negative electrode material in this embodiment is applied to a lithium-ion battery, and the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is ≥1V, which can effectively consume metallic lithium dendrites, reduce the accumulation of dead lithium, reduce battery polarization, improve the battery's cycle capacity, and further improve the battery's cycle performance.
[0024] Furthermore, when the lithium dendrite-consuming material reacts with the lithium dendrites, the lithium dendrites can be converted into lithium ions. On the one hand, the generated lithium ions can continue to circulate in the battery to improve the battery's cycle performance. On the other hand, the generated lithium ions can participate in the construction of the SEI film, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the battery.
[0025] Furthermore, when the negative electrode material in this embodiment is applied to a lithium-ion battery, the lithium plating phenomenon is well avoided, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0026] Optionally, the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is ≥1.5 V. Optionally, the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is ≥2 V. Optionally, the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is ≥2.5 V. Optionally, the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is 1 V to 3 V.
[0027] It is understood that the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material can be obtained by querying the redox potential table.
[0028] In this application, oxidation potential is a well-known concept in the art. Specifically, oxidation potential is tested by the following method.
[0029] Oxidation potential test method for lithium dendrite consumable materials:
[0030] 1. Select a single-sided electrode with no creases or scratches on the surface, punch out a small disc with a diameter of 14 mm, and use it as the negative electrode to assemble a button half-cell. The electrolyte is a 1M LiPF6 ethylene carbonate (EC) / diethyl carbonate (DEC) (volume ratio 3:7) electrolyte with the addition of the lithium dendrite consumable material to be tested. The amount of additive is 0.05 mol / L. The positive electrode shell is an aluminum-plated shell. The electrode includes a current collector and a film layer. The current collector is a 6μm copper foil. The film layer includes the negative electrode active material artificial graphite, conductive agent carbon black, binder styrene butadiene rubber and CMC-Na in a mass ratio of 96:1.0:1.5:1.5.
[0031] 2. Assemble the electrochemical workstation with a buckle battery, connect the voltage line and current line of the working electrode together as the positive electrode, and connect the voltage line, current line and white reference line of the counter electrode together as the negative electrode; then connect them to the positive and negative electrodes of the buckle battery respectively.
[0032] 3. The test process is as follows: let it rest for 2 hours, then charge it to 1V at a constant current. Then scan it at a rate of 0.5mV / s over a range of 1-5V. According to the current-voltage curve analysis, the voltage at which the slope begins to rise is the oxidation potential of the lithium dendrite-consuming material.
[0033] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the lithium dendrite-consuming material to the negative electrode active material is 0.01:1 to 0.1:1. Alternatively, the mass ratio of the lithium dendrite-consuming material to the negative electrode active material is 0.01:1, 0.02:1, 0.03:1, 0.04:1, 0.05:1, 0.06:1, 0.07:1, 0.08:1, 0.09:1, 0.1:1, etc. If the amount of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is too small, it is difficult to effectively inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites. If the mass of the lithium dendrite-consuming material is too large, the proportion of the negative electrode active material may be reduced, which is not conducive to improving the energy density of the negative electrode material.
[0034] Optionally, the Dv50 of the lithium dendrite consumable material is 10 nm to 1000 nm. For example, the Dv50 of the lithium dendrite consumable material is 10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 90 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 700 nm, 800 nm, 900 nm, 1000 nm, etc. Further optionally, the Dv50 of the lithium dendrite consumable material is 50 nm to 500 nm.
[0035] It is understood that in this application, Dv50 refers to the particle size corresponding to the 50% cumulative particle size distribution in the volume cumulative distribution curve. Its physical meaning is that particles with a smaller (or larger) size account for 50%. As an example, Dv50 can be conveniently measured using a laser particle size analyzer, such as the Mastersizer 2000E laser particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments Ltd. in the UK, with reference to GB / T 19077-2016 Particle Size Distribution Laser Diffraction Method.
[0036] As some selected examples of lithium dendrite-consuming materials, the lithium dendrite-consuming materials include at least one of phosphorus pentoxide, lithium polysulfide, iron oxide, iodine and its compounds, titanium disulfide, metallocene, phenothiazine, phenazine, thianthrene, triphenylamine, triphenylphosphine, metalloporphyrin, piperidine oxide and tetrathiafulvalene. Alternatively, the lithium dendrite-consuming materials include at least one of phosphorus pentoxide, lithium polysulfide, iron trioxide, iron tetroxide, iodine, tin iodide, titanium disulfide, ferrocene, 10-methylphenothiazine, 5,10-dimethyldihydrophenazine, thianthrene, tri[(diethylamino)phenyl]amine, bis(4-methoxyphenyl)phenylphosphine, tetraphenylcobaltporphyrin, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxide (tempo) and tetrathiafulvalene. Alternatively, the lithium polysulfide includes at least one of Li2S8, Li2S6, and Li2S4.
[0037] As some examples of negative electrode active materials, the negative electrode active material includes at least one of graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon, silicon-based materials, tin-based materials, and lithium titanate. Alternatively, the negative electrode active material includes at least one of graphite, silicon powder, and silicon oxide. It is understood that graphite can be divided into artificial graphite and natural graphite based on the crystal formation method.
[0038] Optionally, the Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 3 μm to 25 μm. For example, the Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 3 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, 22 μm, 25 μm, etc.
[0039] In some embodiments, the negative electrode material further includes a polymer coating layer; the polymer coating layer is coated on at least a portion of the surface of the lithium dendrite consumable material. By introducing the polymer coating layer into the negative electrode material, on the one hand, the position of the lithium dendrite consumable material in the negative electrode active material can be fixed by coating the polymer coating layer, which is beneficial for the lithium dendrite consumable material and the negative electrode active material to maintain a relatively stable positional relationship, thereby helping the lithium dendrite consumable material to play a stable role. On the other hand, the coating of the polymer coating layer can play a good protective role on the lithium dendrite consumable material, preventing the lithium dendrite consumable material from entering the electrolyte and interacting with the electrolyte to cause unnecessary consumption, thereby restricting the effect of the lithium dendrite consumable material. For example, when the electrolyte in the battery is an electrolyte, the polymer coating layer can effectively prevent the lithium dendrite consumable material from entering the electrolyte, so that the lithium dendrite consumable material can maintain a relatively stable content in the negative electrode material, thereby maintaining a good inhibitory effect on the lithium precipitation phenomenon.
[0040] It is understood that the polymer coating layer can allow lithium ions to pass through. Alternatively, when the electrolyte in the battery is an electrolyte, the polymer coating layer can allow the electrolyte to pass through.
[0041] In some embodiments, the polymer coating extends to the surface of the negative electrode active material. Alternatively, the polymer coating entirely covers the lithium dendrite-consuming material and extends to the surface of the negative electrode active material. Further, optionally, the polymer coating entirely covers the lithium dendrite-consuming material and the negative electrode active material. In this case, the negative electrode active material and the lithium dendrite-consuming material can maintain a more stable structure.
[0042] It can be understood that the polymer coating layer extending to the surface of the negative electrode active material means that the polymer coating layer extends from the surface of the lithium dendrite consuming material to the surface of the negative electrode active material, which is beneficial to further improve the bonding effect between the lithium dendrite consuming material and the negative electrode active material.
[0043] See also Figure 7, which shows the structure of the negative electrode material in one embodiment of the present application. In the negative electrode material, the negative electrode material includes a negative electrode active material 6, a lithium dendrite consumable material 7 and a polymer coating layer 8. The lithium dendrite consumable material 7 is located on the surface of the negative electrode active material 6, and the polymer coating layer 8 covers the lithium dendrite consumable material 7 and the negative electrode active material 6 as a whole. In the negative electrode material, the negative electrode active material 6 and the lithium dendrite consumable material 7 have a stable structure, and the lithium dendrite consumable material 7 can stably exist on the surface of the negative electrode active material 6. When the negative electrode material is used in a lithium-ion battery, the electrode liquid infiltrates the polymer coating layer and contacts the lithium dendrite consumable material 7. When no lithium dendrites appear, the lithium dendrite consumable material 7 remains unchanged. When lithium dendrites are generated, the lithium dendrite consumable material 7 can react with the lithium dendrites to convert the lithium dendrites into lithium ions. The lithium ions formed by the transformation of lithium dendrites can continue to circulate in the battery on the one hand, and on the other hand, can participate in the construction of the SEI film to further improve the performance of the battery. It can be understood that Figure 7 The main purpose is to show the structure of the negative electrode material, and it does not limit the content of the negative electrode active material, lithium dendrite consumption material, and the thickness of the polymer coating layer in the negative electrode material.
[0044] In some embodiments, the thickness of the polymer coating layer is 0.1 μm to 10 μm. Alternatively, the thickness of the polymer coating layer is 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, etc. Further optionally, the thickness of the polymer coating layer is 1 μm to 10 μm.
[0045] In some embodiments, the polymer coating has a degree of swelling of ≥110%. Optionally, the polymer coating has a degree of swelling of 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%, 210%, 220%, 250%, etc. Further optionally, the polymer coating has a degree of swelling of 110% to 200%.
[0046] It can be understood that the swelling degree of the polymer coating layer refers to the ratio of the volume after swelling to the volume before swelling when the polymer of the polymer coating layer adsorbs solvent molecules in the solvent to reach swelling equilibrium.
[0047] Alternatively, the swelling degree of the polymer coating can be tested by scraping the polymer coating onto a glass plate, taking a 1 cm x 1 cm piece of the polymer film, measuring its thickness with a vernier caliper or micrometer, and calculating its volume as V1. The polymer film is then immersed in pure dimethyl carbonate for 12 hours. After removal, the length, width, and height of the polymer film are measured, and the volume is calculated as V2. Swelling degree C = (V2 / V1) × 100%.
[0048] In some embodiments, the polymer of the polymer coating layer includes at least one of polyacrylic acid, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene), polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene oxide, polyacetylene, polyparaphenylene, polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyaniline, and polyphenylene vinylene. Optionally, the polymer coating layer may be formed by a conductive polymer to further improve the electrical performance of the battery.
[0049] Optionally, the weight average molecular weight of the polymer in the polymer coating layer is 10,000 to 150,000.
[0050] Another embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a negative electrode material. The method for preparing the negative electrode material comprises the following steps: mixing a negative electrode active material and a lithium dendrite consumable material. By mixing, the lithium dendrite consumable material can be adsorbed on at least a portion of the surface of the negative electrode active material to form a negative electrode material comprising the negative electrode active material and the lithium dendrite consumable material. It is understandable that the selection and dosage of the negative electrode active material and the lithium dendrite consumable material and other characteristics can be selected accordingly in the content of the above-mentioned negative electrode material, and will not be repeated here.
[0051] In some embodiments, after mixing the negative electrode active material and the lithium dendrite-consuming material, the method further includes forming a polymer coating layer on at least a portion of the surface of the lithium dendrite-consuming material.
[0052] Optionally, forming the polymer coating layer on at least a portion of the surface of the lithium dendrite-consuming material includes: mixing a mixture of the negative electrode active material and the lithium dendrite-consuming material with a polymer slurry to obtain a mixed solution; and removing a solvent from the mixed solution. Furthermore, optionally, the solvent from the polymer slurry is removed by drying.
[0053] It is understandable that the polymer slurry includes a polymer and a solvent. The polymer can be selected from the above-mentioned negative electrode materials and will not be described in detail here.
[0054] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of polymer to solvent in the polymer slurry is 1:10 to 1:100. Alternatively, the mass ratio of polymer to solvent is 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 1:60, 1:70, 1:80, 1:90, 1:100, etc. Further optionally, the solvent in the polymer slurry includes at least one of acetonitrile, acetone, ethylene glycol, and N-methylpyrrolidone.

Optionally, the transfer method is coating. In this preparation method, when the slurry containing a negative electrode active material and a lithium dendrite consumable material is transferred to at least one surface of the current collector and solidified, the interaction between the negative electrode active material and the lithium dendrite consumable material forms a structure in which the lithium dendrite consumable material is located on the surface of the negative electrode active material. After the polymer slurry is transferred to the intermediate surface, the polymer penetrates into the pores of the intermediate layer to form a polymer coating layer. After the obtained negative electrode plate is applied to the battery, the occurrence of lithium plating can be effectively avoided. It can be understood that the negative electrode active material, the lithium dendrite consumable material and the polymer can be selected accordingly from the content of the above-mentioned negative electrode materials, and will not be repeated here.
