Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of battery materials, and particularly relates to a negative electrode material and a surface modification method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the research and development of lithium ion batteries, due to its advantages, it has had a profound impact on many industries, such as new energy vehicle industry, energy storage system, portable electronic devices, aerospace field, unmanned and equipment, electric tools and household electrical appliances, wearable devices and the like. Therefore, the research of lithium ion batteries can not only promote the progress of related technologies, but also has important strategic significance for energy consumption mode and environmental protection.

[0003] The negative electrode material will directly affect the performance of the lithium ion battery, which is mainly because in the lithium ion battery, the negative electrode material is the embedding and de-embedding place of lithium ions, which is responsible for storing and releasing energy, and at the same time ensures the electronic flow and structural stability of the battery in the charging and discharging process. The performance of the negative electrode material will directly affect the energy density, cycle life, safety and cost-effectiveness of the battery.

[0004] And graphite, silicon-carbon is the most main negative electrode material of lithium ion battery. In the prior art, graphite is mainly divided into natural graphite and artificial graphite, but there are a large number of groups on the surface of these two materials. These groups will be reduced by active lithium in the first charge and discharge of the lithium ion battery, thereby reducing the content of active lithium and reducing the energy density of the battery. The graphite material needs to be treated at high temperature, so the generation of surface groups is unavoidable. In addition, graphite has a special layered structure, and if the method of eliminating surface groups is too harsh and destroys the layered structure, the graphite will lose the lithium storage function. As for silicon-carbon, the first cycle coulombic efficiency of silicon-carbon material is low, generally between 80-88%, and a large amount of active lithium is consumed in the first charge and discharge. In addition, the silicon-carbon material expands greatly in volume in the first charge and discharge, which makes the pole piece easy to fall off or crack. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to remove the surface groups of the negative electrode material while maintaining the normal performance of the negative electrode material, the present application provides a negative electrode material and a surface modification method and application thereof.

[0006] In a first aspect of the present application, a negative electrode material is provided, in which the content of hydrogen element is not higher than 0.2%, the content of nitrogen element is not higher than 0.05%, the content of sulfur element is not higher than 0.02%, and the content of oxygen element is not higher than 0.03%. By adjusting the content of hydrogen element, nitrogen element, sulfur element and oxygen element in the negative electrode material, the first efficiency, energy density and cycle performance of the battery can be optimized.

[0007] According to a second aspect of the present application, a surface modification method of a negative electrode material is provided, comprising the following steps: S1. mixing a negative electrode material precursor with a first reaction solution in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a first reactant; wherein the first reaction solution comprises an aromatic hydrocarbon lithium compound; S2. cleaning the first reactant with a second reaction solution, and after drying treatment, obtaining a negative electrode material; wherein in S1, the amount of substance of the aromatic hydrocarbon lithium compound used is M mol, and the amount of the negative electrode material precursor used is W g, the specific capacity of the negative electrode material precursor is C mAh / g, and the amounts of the aromatic hydrocarbon lithium compound and the negative electrode material precursor satisfy the following relationship: M = W x C x γ; wherein,

In addition, after the reduction reaction of the negative electrode material precursor in step S1, the aromatic hydrocarbon lithium compound remains on the surface of the negative electrode material precursor, and when the second reaction solution is added for cleaning, it will react with the residual aromatic hydrocarbon lithium compound to generate free lithium ions. The free lithium ions formed will undergo complexation reaction with solvent molecules, change the electronic cloud structure of the solvent molecules, and make them be reduced and decomposed on the surface of the negative electrode material precursor, forming substances similar to SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode material precursor, so as to further improve the initial coulombic efficiency of the negative electrode material.

[0062] Test Example

[0063] 1. Test object

[0064] Examples 1-10 use the negative electrode materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 and the batteries using the same.

[0065] 2. Test method

[0066] (1) First cycle coulombic efficiency (initial efficiency): The first charge capacity and the first discharge capacity of the battery are measured using a 0.2C current density, and the calculation formula of the first cycle coulombic efficiency is: (first charge capacity / first discharge capacity)*100%.

[0067] (2) Energy density: For a ternary material battery, the calculation formula of the energy density is: first discharge capacity*3.6V / battery weight; for a lithium iron phosphate battery, the calculation formula of the energy density is: first discharge capacity*3.2V / battery weight.

[0070] 3. Test results and analysis

[0071] The test results of the present test example are shown in Table 1. In Examples 1-4, different negative electrode precursor materials are used to prepare negative electrode materials, and in combination with Comparative Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the surface modification method provided by the present application can achieve the purpose of removing the surface groups of the negative electrode material without damaging the structure of the negative electrode material, and further enhance the electrochemical performance of the negative electrode material, thereby enhancing the first cycle coulombic efficiency, energy density and cycle performance of the battery using the same. Comparative Example 1 provides the conventional role of the present aromatic lithium compound, i.e. modifying the negative electrode material as a pre-lithiation or lithium supplementing agent, so that lithium ions can enter the interior of the negative electrode material, and the negative electrode material reaches a lithium-rich state. However, the present application reduces the reducing power of the reagent, so that it only plays a role in eliminating the surface groups of the graphite material, and only a small amount of lithium ions enter the graphite interior. Therefore, another inventive concept for surface modification of the negative electrode material is provided.

[0072] As can be seen from Examples 1-3, when graphite is used as the negative electrode material, when the aromatic lithium compound of the first reaction solution satisfies M=WxCy; (wherein, ), and the specific capacity of the graphite satisfies 340 mAh / g ≤ C (C) ≤ 355 mAh / g has a better modification effect.

[0073] It can be illustrated by Examples 4-6 that when the silicon-carbon material is used as the negative electrode material, when the arene lithium compound of the first reaction solution satisfies M = W x C x γ; (wherein, ), and the specific capacity of the silicon-carbon material satisfies 400 mAh / g ≤ C (Si) ≤ 2000 mAh / g has a better modification effect. In addition, when the volume of the first reaction solution satisfies V (Si) = W x λ has a better modification effect.

[0074] It can be known from the test data of Example 5, Examples 7-10 and Comparative Example 4 that different second reaction solutions also affect the electrochemical performance of the negative electrode material. This is likely because after the reduction reaction in the S1 step, there are residual arene lithium on the surface of the negative electrode material precursor. When the second reaction solution is added for cleaning, free lithium ions are generated due to the reaction between the second reaction solution and the residual arene lithium; and the free lithium ions further produce complexation reactions with unreacted solvent molecules, thereby changing the electronic cloud structure of the solvent molecules and forming substances similar to SEI films on the surface of the negative electrode material precursor. In addition, it can be known through tests that the second reaction solution of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran has a better effect, but its price is higher, which is easy to cause cost increase. By matching tetrahydropyran and making the volume ratio of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran to tetrahydropyran be 1-2:1-2, a better effect is obtained.
