The methods can be divided into solid-phase, liquid-phase mixed calcination method or vapor deposition method according to the doping mode of the doping source. The solid-phase and liquid-phase methods have the defect of poor uniformity due to element doping. Therefore, the vapor deposition method is more industrially significant at present. Nano-silicon is deposited in porous carbon using chemical vapor deposition, and non-electrochemically active SiC is generated at the silicon-carbon interface, which will hinder the kinetic transport of lithium ions and make the rate performance of the material poor. Phosphorus doping can effectively improve the rate performance of the material. The vapor deposition method in the above-mentioned prior art cannot fully exert the effect of phosphorus doping. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing silicon-carbon composite materials have poor lithium ion kinetic transport performance due to the presence of non-electrochemically active silicon carbide at the silicon-carbon interface, which cannot meet the market demand for high rate performance and long cycle performance. The present invention proposes a method for preparing a phosphorus-boron co-doped silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material to improve the rate performance and cycle performance of lithium ion battery negative electrode materials. The present invention first chemically vapor deposits a layer of nano-phosphorus particles in the pores of porous carbon. The phosphorus attached to the porous carbon pores can form a carbon-phosphorus bond with carbon. The carbon-phosphorus bond has a stronger ability to conduct lithium ions than the silicon-carbon bond, which is beneficial to improving the lithium ion kinetic transport performance at the interface. Subsequently, the strategy of phosphorus-silicon co-deposition is adopted to simultaneously deposit phosphorus and silicon on the nano-phosphorus particle layer or on the porous carbon pores. In addition, during the phosphorus-silicon co-deposition process, the amount of phosphorus deposited decreases gradually. On the one hand, the incorporation of phosphorus can significantly improve the material's conductivity, thereby improving the material's rate performance. On the other hand, the atomic radius of phosphorus (0.106nm) is smaller than that of silicon (0.111nm). Phosphorus doping reduces the silicon unit cell. As the amount of phosphorus doped increases, the energy barrier that lithium ions need to overcome to embed into silicon increases, which helps reduce the material's expansion and improves its cycling performance. During the phosphorus-silicon co-deposition process, the proportion of phosphorus gradually decreases. At the junction with the first layer of nanophosphorus, the proportion of phosphorus in the phosphorus-silicon co-deposition is relatively high. The rapid transport of lithium ions at this interface layer can be achieved with the help of phosphorus. As the co-deposition time increases, the proportion of phosphorus gradually decreases at the intersection of the first nanophosphorus layer, while the proportion of silicon gradually increases. Therefore, during the process of lithium ion embedding from the outside to the inside, the presence of phosphorus is conducive to the rapid transport of lithium ions and reduces the expansion of silicon.

[0013] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0014] A method for preparing a phosphorus-silicon co-doped silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material comprises the following steps:

[0015] (S1) The porous carbon material is placed in a fluidized bed, the gas in the fluidized bed is replaced with an inert gas, and a phosphorus source gas is introduced under heating conditions to perform chemical vapor deposition of phosphorus; the ratio of the volume of the phosphorus source gas introduced to the mass of the porous carbon is 10-20 L: 1 kg;

[0016] (S2) Then, a mixture of phosphorus source gas and silicon source gas is introduced, and the proportion of phosphorus source gas in the mixed gas continues to decrease, and the ratio of the volume of phosphorus source gas introduced, the volume of silicon source gas introduced, and the mass of porous carbon is satisfied to be 120-170 L:420-600 L:1 kg.

[0017] (S3) Finally, hydrocarbon gas is introduced for carbon coating to prepare a phosphorus-silicon co-doped silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (S1), the specific surface area of ​​the porous carbon is 1400-2200m 2 / g, pore volume of 0.7-1.2cm 3 / g, the micropore ratio is 70-98%, and the porous carbon particle size is 5-20μm; one of the inert gases is nitrogen, argon, and helium.

[0019] Furthermore, in steps (S1) and (S2), the phosphorus source gas is phosphorus hydride, or a phosphorus-containing gas generated by heating a solid phosphorus source, and the solid phosphorus source is selected from at least one of black phosphorus, white phosphorus, phosphorus pentoxide, phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, metaphosphate, and alkyl phosphate.

[0020] Furthermore, in step (S2), the silane gas is selected from at least one of monosilane, disilane, dimethylsilane, dichlorodihydrosilane, and trichlorosilane.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (S1), the heating condition is 500-700°C, the flow rate of the phosphorus source gas is 0.1-0.3 L / min, and the introduction time satisfies the above-mentioned ratio of the volume of the phosphorus source gas introduced to the mass of the porous carbon.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (S2), the phosphorus source gas flow rate gradually decreases from 1-2 L / min to 0-0.1 L / min, the silicon source gas flow rate is 1-5 L / min, and the ratio of the phosphorus source gas input volume, the silicon source gas input volume and the porous carbon mass meets the above ratio.

[0023] Furthermore, in step (S3), the hydrocarbon gas is selected from at least one of methane, ethane, propane, ethylene, propylene, and acetylene. The amount of hydrocarbon gas introduced is such that the thickness of the carbon coating layer is 2-20 nm, preferably 5-10 nm, or the ratio of the hydrocarbon gas introduced to the porous carbon mass is 150-200 L:1 kg.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the phosphorus-silicon co-doped silicon-carbon composite material provided by the present invention realizes the co-deposition of phosphorus and silicon in the porous carbon pores through a segmented chemical vapor deposition method, and in step (S1), a nano-phosphorus particle layer is introduced into the porous carbon pores, and the phosphorus attached to the porous carbon pores can form a carbon-phosphorus bond with the carbon. The carbon-phosphorus bond has a stronger ability to conduct lithium ions than the silicon-carbon bond, which is beneficial to improving the lithium ion kinetic transport performance at the interface. In addition, in step (S2), the phosphorus doping concentration is gradually reduced through phosphorus-silicon co-deposition. The introduction of phosphorus greatly improves the electrical conductivity of the material. The gradient difference in phosphorus doping concentration is beneficial to improving the rapid conduction of lithium ions inside the silicon crystal phase and realizing rapid conduction of lithium ions at the phosphorus-carbon interface, thereby achieving high rate performance and long cycle performance of the silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] (S1) 500 g of porous carbon was added to a fluidized bed. At room temperature, the gas in the fluidized bed was converted to an oxygen content of ≤10 ppm using nitrogen. The temperature of the fluidized bed was raised to 600 °C and kept warm for 1 h. Then, phosphine gas was introduced under nitrogen protection at a nitrogen gas flow rate of 0.5 L / min, and the phosphine gas flow rate was controlled to 0.15 L / min. The phosphine ventilation time was 50 min.

[0033] (S2) Phosphine and monosilane gases are then introduced into the fluidized bed simultaneously, with the monosilane gas flow rate controlled at 2 L / min and the phosphine gas flow rate decreasing from 1 L / min to 0 L / min. After chemical vapor deposition for 140 min, the introduction of monosilane gas and phosphine gas is stopped. At this time, a total of 280 L of monosilane gas and 65.5 L of phosphine gas have been introduced into the fluidized bed.

[0034] (S3) While maintaining continuous nitrogen flow through the fluidized bed, the fluidized bed temperature was raised to 700°C. After holding the fluidized bed temperature for 1 hour, acetylene gas was introduced at a flow rate of 0.5 L / min for 3 hours to perform vapor phase coating. This yielded a carbon-coated silicon-carbon composite anode material in which phosphorus and silicon were co-deposited within the pores of the porous carbon.

[0051] (S2) Then, monosilane gas is simultaneously introduced into the fluidized bed at a flow rate of 2 L / min. After chemical vapor deposition for 140 min, the monosilane gas is stopped.

[0052] (S3) While maintaining continuous nitrogen flow through the fluidized bed, the fluidized bed temperature was raised to 700°C. After holding the fluidized bed temperature for 1 hour, acetylene gas was introduced at a flow rate of 0.5 L / min for 3 hours to perform vapor phase coating. This yielded a carbon-coated silicon-carbon composite anode material in which phosphorus and silicon were co-deposited within the pores of the porous carbon.

[0053] The volume of phosphine and the amount of silane gas introduced in Comparative Example 1 were the same as those in Example 1, but the phosphorus source gas and the silicon source gas were introduced separately in Comparative Example 1.

[0054] Comparative Example 2

[0055] (S1) 500 g of porous carbon was added to a fluidized bed. At room temperature, nitrogen was used to convert the gas in the fluidized bed to an oxygen content of ≤10 ppm. The temperature of the fluidized bed was raised to 600 ° C and kept warm for 1 hour. Then, phosphine gas and silane gas were introduced simultaneously under nitrogen protection. The nitrogen gas flow rate was 0.5 L / min, the monosilane gas flow rate was controlled to 2 L / min, and the phosphine gas flow rate was decreased from 1.1 L / min to 0 L / min. After chemical vapor deposition was carried out together for 140 minutes, the introduction of monosilane gas and phosphine gas was stopped. At this time, 280 L of monosilane gas and 73 L of phosphine gas were introduced.

[0056] (S2) While maintaining continuous nitrogen flow through the fluidized bed, the fluidized bed temperature was raised to 700°C. After holding the fluidized bed temperature for 1 hour, acetylene gas was introduced at a flow rate of 0.5 L / min for 3 hours to perform vapor phase coating. This yielded a carbon-coated silicon-carbon composite anode material in which phosphorus and silicon were co-deposited within the pores of the porous carbon.

[0057] The volume of phosphine introduced in Comparative Example 2 and the amount of silane gas introduced were the same as those in Example 1, but the phosphorus source gas and the silicon source gas were introduced simultaneously in Comparative Example 2, and there was no step (S1) of introducing phosphine gas at a low flow rate to perform phosphorus deposition in the example.

[0058] Comparative Example 3

[0059] 500g of porous carbon was added to a fluidized bed. At room temperature, nitrogen was used to convert the gas in the fluidized bed to an oxygen content of ≤10ppm. The fluidized bed temperature was raised to 600°C and held for 1 hour. Then, monosilane gas was introduced simultaneously under nitrogen protection. The monosilane gas flow rate was controlled to 2L / min and the monosilane gas ventilation time was controlled to 140min. After that, the monosilane gas was stopped. Maintaining the continuous flow of nitrogen into the fluidized bed, the fluidized bed temperature was raised to 700°C. After holding for 1 hour, acetylene gas was introduced at a gas flow rate of 0.5L / min for vapor phase coating. The acetylene ventilation time was 3 hours to obtain a carbon-coated silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material with silicon deposited in the pores of the porous carbon.

[0060] Comparative Example 4

[0061] 500g of porous carbon was added to a fluidized bed. At room temperature, nitrogen was used to reduce the oxygen content in the fluidized bed to ≤10ppm. The bed temperature was then raised to 600°C and held for 1 hour. Phosphine gas was then introduced under nitrogen at a rate of 1 L / min for 140 minutes, after which the phosphine addition was stopped. Maintaining the continuous flow of nitrogen, the bed temperature was raised to 700°C and held for 1 hour. Acetylene gas was then introduced at a rate of 0.5 L / min for 3 hours for vapor-phase coating. This resulted in a carbon-coated silicon-carbon composite anode material with phosphorus deposited within the pores of the porous carbon.

[0062] Test Case

[0063] The negative electrode materials provided in the examples and comparative examples are assembled into a battery in the following steps:

[0064] 1. Pole sheet preparation: The negative electrode material, conductive agent (Super-P), and polyacrylic acid (PAA) binder are mixed in a mass ratio of 80:10:10 to prepare a slurry. After stirring and mixing, the slurry is coated on the copper foil current collector. After drying at room temperature, the slurry is placed in a vacuum oven and further dried at 60°C under vacuum conditions for 12 hours to obtain the pole sheet.

[0065] 2. Battery assembly: Cut the above-obtained electrode into a circular electrode with a diameter of 10 mm and an active material loading of 1.3

[0066] mg / cm2; metallic lithium sheet as the counter electrode, 1 mol / L LiPF6 (the solvent is a mixture of ethylene carbonate and diethyl carbonate in a volume ratio of 1:1, with 5% volume of fluoroethylene carbonate added) as the electrolyte, and polypropylene microporous membrane, were assembled into 2032-type button cells in an argon atmosphere glove box, with 50 μL of electrolyte added to each cell.

[0067] The assembled battery was charged and discharged on a LAND charge and discharge tester in the range of 50 mV to 1.5 V, with a compaction density of 1.1 g / cm 3 After three charge and discharge cycles at a current density of 0.1 C (1 C = 1500 mA / g), rate charge and discharge tests were performed at a current density of 2 C.

[0069] .

[0070] As can be seen from Table 1, the silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material prepared by chemical vapor co-deposition of silane gas and phosphine gas has excellent electrochemical properties, particularly rate capability and long cycle stability. In Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the phosphine feeding amount and the silane gas feeding amount are the same as in Example 1, but in Comparative Example 1, the phosphorus source gas and the silicon source gas are fed respectively, while Comparative Example 2 is fed simultaneously, and there is no embodiment step (S1) in which the phosphine gas is first fed at a low flow rate to carry out the deposition of phosphorus. Although both are silicon-phosphorus co-doping, the function of dual doping cannot be effectively brought into play.
