Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery negative electrode material, in particular to a high-compaction-density porous silicon-carbon composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the popularity of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, new requirements are put forward for the development of lithium ion batteries. Among them, high capacity and long life are the core issues that attract much attention. Graphite-based negative electrode materials are commercialized due to their long life and high initial coulombic efficiency (ICE), but their theoretical capacity (372 mAh / g) is insufficient to meet the growing energy storage demand. Silicon (Si) has an ultra-high theoretical capacity (3579 mAh / g) and a suitable working voltage (~0.4 V), and is considered one of the most promising negative electrode materials for lithium ion batteries. However, Si-based negative electrode materials have the following problems: 1. During charging and discharging, the volume expansion of Si is as high as 300%, which causes the pulverization of the electrode material and leads to electrochemical failure, resulting in a sharp decrease in capacity and cycle life; 2. Since Si is a semiconductor in its natural state, each Si atom has four electrons in its outer shell that form stable chemical bonds with adjacent silicon atoms, and the electrical conductivity of Si material is poor.

[0003] The nanocrystallization of Si can effectively alleviate the pulverization and fragmentation problems caused by volume expansion, and improve the reaction kinetics and rate performance. However, the high specific surface area of nanomaterials has problems such as low compaction density, low ICE, and low volumetric energy density, and the high cost of nanomaterials also makes it difficult to popularize nano-Si. Micron-Si has the advantages of high compaction density, low surface area, and low cost. On this basis, the use of microstructure design to prepare a porous structure is beneficial to alleviate a series of problems such as the volume expansion of Si during lithium storage, and then carbon filling or carbon coating is performed to increase its electrical conductivity and stability. However, a large number of pores will also increase the specific surface area of the material and reduce the compaction density. Therefore, it is urgent to prepare a micron-sized porous silicon-carbon composite material with high cycle stability, high compaction density, and low cost.

[0004] CN107507972A discloses a preparation method of a silicon-carbon negative electrode material, which comprises: using silicon alloy powder as raw material, acid washing treatment, etching the remaining metals in the silicon alloy powder except silicon to obtain porous silicon; performing carbon coating treatment on the porous silicon to form a silicon-carbon precursor; and then performing carbonization treatment on the silicon-carbon precursor to obtain a silicon-carbon negative electrode material. However, the porous structure existing in the interior of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material causes the negative electrode material to have a low compaction density, which in turn leads to a decrease in volumetric energy density.

[0005] CN115548300A discloses a porous silicon-based composite material, which has a core-shell structure and comprises a silicon-based material as an inner core and a porous layer and a carbon coating layer successively coated on the outer surface of the inner core, wherein the porous layer is silicon or a mixture of silicon and metal, and the pores of the porous layer are filled with carbon material. However, the silicon-based composite material has problems such as increased side reactions due to high specific surface area, reduced ICE, and reduced volume energy density caused by low compaction density. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a porous silicon-carbon composite material with high compaction density. SUMMARY

The mixture is then coated onto a copper foil current collector, vacuum dried, and the negative electrode sheet is obtained. A cross-sectional view of the negative electrode sheet is shown below. Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 (a) shows a cross-sectional view of the negative electrode sheet prepared with a porous silicon framework. Calculations show that the compaction density is 0.75 g / cm³. 3 ; Figure 2 (b) A cross-sectional view of the negative electrode sheet prepared after the intermediate product is coated with carbon (i.e., the high-density porous silicon-carbon composite material obtained in Example 2), with a compaction density of 1.28 g / cm³. 3 Compared to porous silicon frameworks, the compaction density is significantly improved, and through Figure 4 Significant improvements in cycle and rate performance were observed.

[0078] Table 1 Performance of each embodiment and comparative example

[0079]

[0080] As shown in Table 1, the porous silicon-carbon composite material prepared by the method described in this application, by changing the preparation conditions, such as the size of the filled nano-Si and the doping ratio, significantly improved the compaction density of the anode material, thereby increasing the volumetric energy density and significantly improving the cycle performance. Example 2 is made from Al 80 Si 20The etched three-dimensional porous micron-sized Si framework filled with 50 nm nano-sized Si particles achieved a compaction density of 1.28 g / cm³. 3 Compared to Comparative Example 1 without nano-silicon filling (0.75 g / cm³), the compaction density is significantly higher. 3 In Example 2, the compaction density was significantly improved. Simultaneously, the reversible capacity increased from 1004.63 mAh / g in Comparative Example 1 to 2113.25 mAh / g in Example 2, and the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles reached 96%, far exceeding the 34.3% of Comparative Example 1. The variable between Example 2 and Example 1 was the change in the size of the filled nano-Si during self-assembly. As shown in the table, nano-Si with different particle sizes all exhibited higher compaction densities than Comparative Example 1, and the cycling stability was improved to varying degrees. The porous silicon framework used in Examples 3 and 4 was made of Al... 60 Si 40 Etching preparation, due to the silicon content compared to Al 80 Si 20 As the concentration of nano-Si particles increases, the porosity of the silicon framework after etching decreases, preventing the nano-Si particles from effectively entering the porous silicon voids. Therefore, the dispersion ratio of the porous silicon framework to the nano-Si particles is used as a variable for comparison. In Example 3, the high proportion of nano-Si particles resulted in a relatively high compaction density after carbon coating, reaching 1.32 g / cm³. 3 Both were higher than those of the unfilled Comparative Example 2. Furthermore, after 100 cycles, the capacity retention rates of both were 93% and 95%, respectively, significantly higher than the 41% of Comparative Example 2.

[0081] Comparative Example 3 consists of unprocessed micron-sized Si spheres (average particle size D50 of 7 μm). As shown in the table, their compacted density reaches 1.22 g / cm³. 3 However, the assembled battery exhibited extremely poor cycle stability, with a capacity retention of only 23% after 100 cycles. In contrast, Comparative Example 4, composed of unprocessed nano-Si spheres (average particle size D50 of 50 nm), had a compaction density of only 0.53 g / cm³. 3 However, it exhibits good cycle stability, with a capacity retention rate of 58% after 100 cycles. In summary, this patented method, utilizing a three-dimensional porous silicon framework for in-situ self-assembly and carbon coating followed by compaction, achieves a compaction density of 1.28 g / cm³. 3 After 100 cycles, the capacity retention rate is as high as 96%, and the cycle performance is improved while the compaction density is greatly increased.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
