[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below. The following specific embodiments listed are only for describing the principles and features of the present invention, and the examples given are only for explaining the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] In the prior art, biomass-based hard carbon generally has problems of low sodium storage capacity and low first Coulomb efficiency.
[0024] To overcome the defects in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hard carbon material (hard carbon negative electrode material). In the Raman spectrum of the hard carbon material, the wavelength is 1345 cm -1The peak intensity at and the wavelength is 1600 cm -1 The ratio of the peak intensity at to that at is 0.9 to 1.3, and the powder impedance of the hard carbon material under a pressure of 16 to 20 MPa is 0.02 to 0.07 Ω·cm.
[0025] According to the research and analysis: In the Raman spectrum of the above hard carbon material, at wavelengths of 1345 cm -1 and 1600 cm -1 characteristic peaks (D peak and G peak respectively) exist, and the peak intensity I -1 at and the peak intensity I D at -1 The ratio (I G / I D / I G ) is 0.9 to 1.3, which improves the structure of the hard carbon material, making the hard carbon material have more active ion active sites for storing (such as sodium storage active sites), and the hard carbon material has a relatively low powder impedance, thereby helping to improve the reversible capacity, initial Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycling performance.
[0026] It can be understood that in the Raman spectrum of the above hard carbon material, at wavelengths of 1345 cm -1 and 1600 cm -1 characteristic peaks (D peak and G peak respectively) exist, corresponding to amorphous carbon structure and graphite-like microcrystalline structure respectively, that is, the above hard carbon material includes amorphous carbon and graphite-like microcrystals. By regulating the structures of amorphous carbon and graphite-like microcrystals in the hard carbon material in the embodiments of the present invention, the hard carbon material has excellent reversible specific capacity and high Coulomb efficiency.
[0027] Exemplarily, the ratio of the peak intensity I -1 at and the peak intensity I D at -1 (I G / I D / I G ) can be 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or the range composed of any two of them.
[0028] Exemplarily, the powder impedance of the hard carbon material under a pressure of 16 to 20 MPa can be 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07 Ω·cm or the range composed of any two of them.
[0029] In some embodiments, the interlayer spacing d 002 of the (002) crystal plane of the above hard carbon material is 0.37 to 0.40 nm.
[0030] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned hard carbon material includes graphite microcrystals and amorphous carbon. The width La(002) of the graphite microcrystals in the a-axis direction is 1.4 - 2.0 nm, and the thickness Lc in the c-axis direction is 0.7 - 1.0 nm; the stacking layer number (N = Lc / d 002 +1) is 2.9 - 3.5. The above-mentioned hard carbon material consists of a hard carbon structure composed of short-range ordered graphite-like microcrystals and amorphous carbon with appropriate average width, stacking thickness, and stacking layer number, having more sodium (or lithium) storage active sites, and the hard carbon material also has a relatively low powder impedance, thus showing good electrochemical performance, which helps to improve the reversible capacity, initial Coulomb efficiency, rate performance, and cycle performance.
[0031] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned hard carbon material includes a core, a first coating layer on the surface of the core, and a second coating layer on the surface of the first coating layer. The first coating layer includes carbon elements, and the second coating layer includes nitrogen and carbon elements.
[0032] Specifically, the ratio of the atomic number of the above-mentioned nitrogen element to the atomic number in the hard carbon material can be 0.1% - 2.0% (that is, the nitrogen doping ratio in the hard carbon material is 0.1 at% - 2.0 at%). A small amount of nitrogen element doping can enhance the defect active sites of the hard carbon material and improve the conductivity, thereby enhancing the reversible capacity, increasing the capacity in the slope region, and improving the rate performance.
[0033] Exemplarily, the ratio of the atomic number of the nitrogen element to the atomic number in the hard carbon material can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% or the range composed of any two of them.
[0034] The above-mentioned first coating layer can include carbon elements, and the second coating layer can also include carbon elements. That is, when the hard carbon material is coated with nitrogen elements, it also includes a soft carbon coating layer, which can avoid the side effect of increased irreversible capacity caused by nitrogen doping, improve the interface of the hard carbon material, reduce the side reaction between the defect surface generated by doping and the electrolyte, and improve the initial Coulomb efficiency and rate performance of the hard carbon material.
[0035] Furthermore, the sum of the thicknesses of the first coating layer and the second coating layer can be 5 - 100 nm, such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 nm or the range composed of any two of them.
[0036] In some embodiments, the porosity of the above-mentioned hard carbon material is 1% - 10%, such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% or the range composed of any two of them.
[0037] In some embodiments, the specific surface area of the above-mentioned hard carbon material is 0.5 - 20 m2 / g, such as 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20 m 2 / g or a range composed of any two of them.
[0038] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned hard carbon material, including: carbonizing a biomass raw material in a first inert atmosphere to obtain a hard carbon precursor; performing pore-forming treatment (pore size regulation) on the hard carbon precursor under the action of a pore-forming agent to obtain a porous hard carbon precursor with a specific surface area of 300 - 900 m 2 / g; after mixing the porous hard carbon precursor and a first coating agent, performing a first sintering treatment in a second inert atmosphere to obtain a coated porous hard carbon precursor, the first coating agent including a carbon source; after mixing the coated porous hard carbon precursor and a second coating agent, performing a second sintering treatment in a third inert atmosphere to obtain a hard carbon material, the second coating agent including a carbonitrogen source compound, and the carbonitrogen source compound including an amino group and an alkyl group.
[0039] According to research and analysis: Pore-forming treatment helps to inhibit the graphitization of microcrystals during the carbonization of biomass raw materials, helps to obtain a hard carbon material including graphitic microcrystals and amorphous carbon, and two-layer coating is performed on the hard carbon material, with the second layer being carbonitrogen co - coating. On the one hand, nitrogen doping can enhance the defect active sites and conductivity of the hard carbon material, thereby enhancing the reversible capacity, increasing the capacity in the slope region, and improving the rate performance. On the other hand, carbonitrogen co - coating can avoid the side effect of increased irreversible capacity caused by nitrogen doping, improve the interface of the hard carbon material, reduce the side reaction between the defective surface generated by doping and the electrolyte, and enhance the first Coulombic efficiency and rate performance of the hard carbon material.
[0040] Specifically, the biomass raw material can include one or more of glucose, sucrose, starch, coconut shell, walnut shell, hazelnut shell, wood, etc., which have the advantages of rich raw material production, low cost, high sodium (or lithium) storage capacity, etc.
[0041] During the above process of carbonizing the biomass raw material (low - temperature pyrolysis carbonization) to obtain a hard carbon precursor, the carbonization temperature can be 300 - 800 °C, and the carbonization time (holding time) can be 1 - 10 h.
[0042] In addition, the heating rate during the above carbonization process can be 0.5 - 3 °C / min.
[0043] During specific implementation, the above process of carbonizing the biomass raw material to obtain a hard carbon precursor further includes: after carbonizing the biomass raw material to obtain a carbonized material, then pulverizing and sieving (such as pulverizing, classifying, and sieving) the carbonized material. The equipment used in the above pulverization process can include a pneumatic pulverizing classifier, the mesh number of the sieve for sieving can be 300 - 500 meshes, and the specific surface area of the obtained hard carbon precursor is generally less than 300 m2 / g, for example, the specific surface area is about 10 - 250 m 2 / g, and the hard carbon precursor with a particle size of about 4 - 15 µm is beneficial to the uniformity and sufficiency of subsequent sintering, doping coating and other reactions.
[0044] More specifically, for example, a carbide material is obtained by using an air jet milling classifier at the frequencies of 40 Hz for the air crusher and 40 Hz for the classifier, and then sieved through a 325-mesh sieve to obtain a hard carbon precursor with a particle size of about 4 - 6 µm. This particle size is beneficial to the uniformity and sufficiency of subsequent sintering, doping coating and other reactions. For this, no secondary crushing and classification are required subsequently, only sieving is needed; the specific surface area of its hard carbon precursor is generally less than 300 m 2 / g, such as 10 - 250 m 2 / g.
[0045] During the high-temperature carbonization process of biomass raw materials (hard carbon raw materials), volatile gases including water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc. are released inside, forming pores in the hard carbon material, resulting in a high porosity and large specific surface area of the hard carbon material, causing problems such as low compaction density of the hard carbon and low initial Coulomb efficiency (first-week Coulomb efficiency). The pore structure of most hard carbons is naturally formed during the high-temperature carbonization process, and it is difficult to regulate the pore size structure, resulting in that hard carbon often has more open pores. Its open pore structure will lead to the consumption of the electrolyte and cause sodium precipitation. Although pore formation will increase the reversible capacity of sodium (or lithium) storage to a certain extent, along with a significant increase in the specific surface area of the hard carbon, the initial Coulomb efficiency will be greatly reduced. At present, there is still a lack of effective methods to regulate the pore structure of hard carbon. At present, the sodium (or lithium) storage capacity of hard carbon materials needs to be further improved, and there are problems with poor cycle performance and rate performance. In addition, generally in the sodium storage carbon material structure, it is almost difficult for the long-range ordered structure (such as graphite microcrystals) to accommodate the insertion of sodium ions. Therefore, the long-range ordered structure carbon will reduce the sodium storage active sites, resulting in the loss of reversible capacity.
[0046] Based on the fact that a rich closed pore structure is the key to improving the reversible storage performance of hard carbon active ions (such as sodium ions or lithium ions), in the embodiments of the present invention, the specific surface area of the porous hard carbon precursor after pore formation treatment is controlled at 300 - 900 m 2 / g. By regulating the graphitization structure of hard carbon through pore engineering, pore formation treatment is carried out on the hard carbon precursor to increase its pores. A large number of pores hinder the formation of graphite microcrystals in the hard carbon, inhibit the tendency of the hard carbon material to over-graphitize microcrystals, increase the interplanar spacing of the carbon layer (002) crystal plane, and increase the sodium (or lithium) storage active sites. After high-temperature carbonization, the reversible capacity of this porous hard carbon precursor can be increased, and the structures of graphite microcrystals and amorphous carbon in the hard carbon material are controlled within a suitable range, thereby helping to obtain I D / I GThe hard carbon material with a value of 0.9 to 1.3 can balance a relatively high reversible capacity, initial Coulombic efficiency, and cycling performance.
[0047] Exemplarily, the specific surface area of the above-mentioned porous hard carbon precursor can be 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 m 2 / g or the range composed of any two of them.
[0048] The above-mentioned pore-forming treatment can include a physical pore-forming treatment method or a chemical pore-forming treatment method. Specific explanations are as follows.
[0049] In the physical pore-forming treatment method, the above-mentioned pore-forming agent includes a physical pore-forming agent, and this physical pore-forming agent can include water vapor and / or carbon dioxide. Correspondingly, the temperature of the pore-forming treatment (i.e., the pyrolysis process of the physical pore-forming agent) can be 650 to 950 °C, for example, it can be 650, 700, 800, 900, 950 °C or the range composed of any two of them.
[0050] More specifically, the above-mentioned physical pore-forming agent can also include nitrogen, that is, a mixed gas of water vapor and / or carbon dioxide and nitrogen is used as the physical pore-forming agent.
[0051] In addition, during specific implementation, the above-mentioned physical pore-forming agent, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, a mixed gas of water vapor and / or carbon dioxide and nitrogen, can be introduced into the reaction system at a flow rate of 0.15 to 0.25 L / min, for example, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 L / min or the range composed of any two of them. In the chemical pore-forming treatment method, the above-mentioned pore-forming agent includes a chemical pore-forming agent, and this chemical pore-forming agent can include one or more of potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, zinc chloride (ZnCl2), and phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Correspondingly, the temperature of the pore-forming treatment (i.e., the pyrolysis process of the chemical pore-forming agent) can be 500 to 900 °C, for example, it can be 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 °C or the range composed of any two of them.
[0052] During specific implementation, a solution including a chemical pore-forming agent can be prepared first, for example, a solution including one or more of potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, zinc chloride (ZnCl2), and phosphoric acid (H3PO4), then the hard carbon precursor is impregnated in the above-mentioned solution including the chemical pore-forming agent, then dried, and then pyrolyzed at 500 to 900 °C to obtain a porous hard carbon precursor with a specific surface area of 300 to 900 m 2 / g.
[0053] The dosage of the above-mentioned pore-forming agent and the pore-forming time can both be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation and the expected specific surface area of the porous hard carbon precursor.
[0054] The conventional coating process generally uses a hard carbon sample after high-temperature sintering. After coating and mixing, secondary high-temperature carbonization is carried out. The above conventional coating process generally leads to an increase in defects and an increase in specific surface area, resulting in a decrease in the initial Coulomb efficiency. In addition, the compacted density of hard carbon prepared from general biomass raw materials is relatively low, and the hard carbon prepared by the pore-forming technology has a lower compacted density due to the generation of a large number of pore structures. However, in the preparation method of the embodiment of the present invention, by coating the porous hard carbon precursor with the first coating agent and the second coating agent, the specific surface area can be effectively reduced, the compacted density of the hard carbon material can be improved, the powder impedance can be reduced, and the initial Coulomb efficiency and rate performance can be improved.
[0055] After mixing the porous hard carbon precursor and the first coating agent (for example, performing VC mixing treatment using a mixing modifier), the process of performing the first sintering treatment (high-temperature carbonization) in a second inert atmosphere to obtain the coated porous hard carbon precursor may include: mixing the porous hard carbon precursor and the first coating agent including (for example, VC mixing treatment), and then performing the first sintering treatment in a second inert atmosphere to obtain the coated porous hard carbon precursor.
[0056] Specifically, in the mixed material obtained by mixing the porous hard carbon precursor and the first coating agent, the mass percentage content (mixing ratio) of the first coating agent is 1wt% to 10wt%, such as 1wt%, 3wt%, 5wt%, 7wt%, 9wt%, 10wt% or any range composed of any two of them.
[0057] In addition, the mixing time of the porous hard carbon precursor and the first coating agent can be 15 to 60 minutes, and the stirring speed can be 1000 to 2000 rpm.
[0058] The above first coating agent (or the carbon source therein) may include pitch and / or resin, including but not limited to one or more of petroleum pitch, coal pitch, β-resin, phenolic resin, and epoxy resin.
[0059] In specific implementation, the temperature of the first sintering treatment (high-temperature carbonization) can be 1100 to 1500 °C, and the holding time can be 1 to 8 hours.
[0060] In addition, during the first sintering treatment (high-temperature carbonization), the heating rate can be 0.5 to 3 °C / min.
[0061] The traditional heteroatom doping process generally leads to an increase in defects and an increase in specific surface area of the carbon material, resulting in a significant decrease in the initial Coulomb efficiency of hard carbon; at the same time, it is difficult to coordinate the coating and doping processes, and the process is complex.
[0062] In the embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned second coating agent includes a carbonitrogen source compound, which includes an amino group (-NH2) and an alkyl group (-R). Through one-step modification of nitrogen doping and carbon coating on the hard carbon material, the obtained hard carbon material (hard carbon negative electrode material) has nitrogen element doping and a soft carbon coating layer. A small amount of nitrogen element doping can improve the defect active sites of hard carbon, enhance the conductivity, thereby improving the reversible capacity, increasing the capacity in the slope region, and improving the rate performance. At the same time, the simultaneously constructed soft carbon coating layer can avoid the side effect of increased irreversible capacity caused by nitrogen doping, improve the hard carbon interface, reduce the side reaction between the defect surface generated by doping and the electrolyte, and improve the first Coulomb efficiency and cycle performance of the hard carbon material (hard carbon negative electrode material).
[0063] Specifically, the carbonitrogen source compound may include a carboxyl group, and the carbonitrogen source compound includes one or more of isoleucine, leucine, alanine, glycine, proline, valine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, serine, threonine, cysteine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, arginine, etc.
[0064] Furthermore, the above-mentioned carbonitrogen source compound may further include a carboxyl group (-COOH), which helps to undergo a cross-linking reaction with the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the hard carbon material to form cross-linking structures such as ester groups and anhydrides, hinders the rearrangement of the graphite microcrystalline structure of hard carbon, helps to increase the sodium storage capacity, and helps to improve the reversible capacity, first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycle performance.
[0065] It can be understood that the temperature of the above-mentioned second sintering treatment should be determined in combination with the specific type of the carbonitrogen source compound to achieve a better coating effect.
[0066] In some embodiments, the temperature of the above-mentioned second sintering treatment is 700~950 °C, for example, it can be 700, 800, 900, 950 °C or the range composed of any two of them.
[0067] During specific implementation, during the above-mentioned second sintering treatment, the heating rate can be 0.5~3 °C / min, for example, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 °C / min or the range composed of any two of them, and the holding time can be 2~6 h, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 h or the range composed of any two of them.
[0068] It can be understood that the inert atmosphere (the first inert atmosphere, the second inert atmosphere, the third inert atmosphere) in the embodiments of the present invention may include one or more of nitrogen, argon, and helium.
[0069] It can be understood that in specific applications, the above-mentioned hard carbon material can be crushed and sieved to facilitate its use in preparing the negative electrode sheet. During the sieving process here, the mesh number of the sieve can be 300~500 meshes.
[0070] The above-mentioned hard carbon material can be used to prepare the negative electrode sheet of a lithium-ion battery or a sodium-ion battery, preferably the negative electrode sheet of a sodium-ion battery, and further used to prepare a lithium-ion battery or a sodium-ion battery, preferably a sodium-ion battery.
[0071] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a negative electrode sheet, which includes a negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode active material layer includes the above-mentioned hard carbon material or a hard carbon material prepared according to the preparation method of the above-mentioned hard carbon material. Based on this hard carbon material, the negative electrode sheet has corresponding effects, which will not be elaborated here.
[0072] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a battery, and the above-mentioned battery includes the above-mentioned negative electrode sheet. Based on this negative electrode sheet or hard carbon material, the battery has corresponding effects, which will not be elaborated here.
[0073] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned battery includes a sodium-ion battery.
[0074] It can be understood that the above-mentioned battery further includes a positive electrode sheet, a separator and an electrolyte.
