Description

[0002] With the development of science and technology, people's dependence on electronic devices is increasing, and the demand for battery endurance is also increasing. For example, the use frequency of smart phones is very high, and if the battery capacity is small, it needs to be charged frequently, which brings inconvenience to users. Therefore, improving the battery capacity can meet the user's demand for long-time use of electronic devices.

[0003] Since silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, second only to oxygen, it is widely available, which helps to reduce the cost of the battery. The theoretical specific capacity of silicon is as high as 4200 mAh / g, which is more than 10 times that of traditional graphite materials, which means that using silicon materials can significantly improve the energy density of the battery, thereby improving the endurance of the battery. In addition, the working voltage of silicon is relatively low, which can further improve the energy density of the battery.

[0004] Although the application prospect of silicon materials in batteries is broad, there are also some challenges, such as the volume expansion and contraction of silicon during charging and discharging process reaches 320% (graphite only 12%), which will generate a large mechanical stress, and after multiple cycles, the silicon particles will be broken and pulverized, causing the negative electrode to fail. In addition, the contact between silicon and conductive agent and negative electrode binder is poor, which leads to poor overall conductivity of the electrode, affecting the performance of the battery.

Subsequently, the lithium ion battery was discharged at a rate of 0.33C to 2.5V, and then rested for 10 minutes. The first coulombic efficiency of the lithium ion battery was calculated. The first coulombic efficiency (first efficiency) was calculated according to the following formula:

[0081] First coulombic efficiency (%) = total capacity of the first discharge of the lithium ion battery at 0.33C / total capacity of the first charge of the lithium ion battery at 0.33C x 100%

Subsequently, the lithium ion battery was discharged at a rate of 1C to 2.5V, and then rested for 10 minutes. This was one cycle of charging and discharging. The lithium ion battery was subjected to 1200 cycles of charging and discharging according to the above method. The capacity retention rate after 1200 cycles of charging and discharging of the lithium ion battery at 1C / 1C was calculated. The capacity retention rate was calculated according to the following formula:

[0083] Capacity retention rate (%) after N cycles of the lithium ion battery = (discharge capacity of the Nth cycle / first discharge capacity) x 100%, N is the number of cycles of the lithium ion battery

[0090] Among them, through the test results of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be known that by matching different double thiophene aromatic compounds or introducing dibromothiophene compounds, the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion battery can be significantly enhanced. This is mainly because the benzo dithiophene compound has a larger conjugated planar structure, which is beneficial to the transmission of electrons, thereby improving the energy density and rate performance of the battery. Further, when the conductive polymer obtained by polymerization of the first monomer and the second monomer has both benzo bis thiadiazole and benzo dithiophene, both of which have a larger conjugated planar structure, the transmission of electrons can be further improved, thereby further enhancing the rate performance of the battery. Further, by introducing the dibromothiophene compound, a hydrogen bond can be formed between the conductive polymer and the negative active material, which can further enhance the interface stability of the composite negative electrode material, thereby enhancing the cycle performance of the battery.

[0091] On the other hand, the data of Example 1 and Examples 5-6 can prove that the D 50The cycle performance and rate performance of the battery will be affected, which is likely to be caused by the D 50 The example transmission performance of the battery; the data of example 1 and example 7 can show that by adjusting the thickness of the conductive polymer in the composite negative electrode material, the interface stability of the composite negative electrode material can be improved, thereby improving the overall electrochemical performance of the battery.

[0092] In addition, the data of example 8 can prove that by introducing double fluorosulfonyl imide lithium, methyl trifluoroethyl carbonate (FEMC), the ionic conductivity of the battery can be further improved.
