[0015] In the fourth aspect of the present application, a battery is provided, comprising the negative electrode sheet as described above.

[0016] The technical solution provided by the present application may include the following beneficial effects: The carbon-based composite negative electrode material provided by the present application satisfies (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 ) within the range of 1 to 2, realizing the three-dimensional network construction of carbon materials, carbon aerogels and conductive agents. The layers of the carbon aerogel are evenly separated, the conductive agent is evenly spread out, and the conductive agent penetrates between the carbon aerogel layers, avoiding the accumulation of carbon aerogels and the agglomeration of conductive agents. At the same time, the carbon material particles are confined within the network formed by the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel, enabling strong adhesion between the carbon material particles, enhancing the isotropy of the carbon material, significantly improving the multi-directional lithium ion deintercalation channels and diffusion rate, and at the same time being able to alleviate the volume expansion of the carbon material during the cycling process, improving the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycling performance of the battery; in the carbon-based composite negative electrode material, the carbon material is covered by carbon nanotubes and carbon aerogels, which can reduce the contact between the carbon material and the electrolyte, reduce the side reaction between the carbon material and the electrolyte, and improve the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycling performance of the battery. In addition, the carbon-based composite negative electrode material has high conductivity.

If (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 )<1, the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel cannot completely cover the carbon material, resulting in more side reactions between the carbon material and the electrolyte, leading to a decrease in the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycling performance of the battery; if (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S3 ) / ( m 1 × S 1 When ( ) / ( m × S ) > 2, the addition amounts of the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel are excessive, and excessive carbon nanotubes and carbon aerogels agglomerate to form an uneven and dense network structure, which hinders the diffusion and insertion processes of lithium ions and restricts the rapid migration of lithium ions. In addition, excessive carbon nanotubes and carbon aerogels may undergo structural changes or fall off during repeated charge and discharge processes, damaging the originally formed stable interface.

[0017] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory, and cannot limit this application. Specific Embodiments

[0018] To make the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be described in detail below. However, before describing the present invention in detail, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the described specific embodiments. It should also be understood that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and do not represent restrictive.

[0019] When a numerical range is provided, it should be understood that each intermediate value between the upper and lower limits of the range and any other specified or intermediate value in the specified range is covered within the present invention. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges can be independently included in the smaller ranges and are also covered within the present invention, subject to any explicit exclusions in the specified range. When the specified range includes one or both of the limits, ranges excluding either or both of the included limits are also included in the present invention.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can also be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, the preferred methods and materials are now described.

[0021] In related technologies, in order to enable a battery to achieve higher rate performance and cycling performance, it is a common method to use fast charge and discharge type graphite. Most fast charge and discharge type graphite adopts a secondary granulation form to improve kinetics, but asphalt is used as a binder during the granulation process, and there are many surface defects in the asphalt, which increases the irreversible capacity and results in a decrease in the first Coulomb efficiency of the battery. Moreover, the particles are bonded together with asphalt. During long-term cycling, as lithium ions continuously intercalate and deintercalate from the graphite material, the material volume expands, stress is generated inside the particles. When the stress reaches a certain level, cracks appear on the material surface, the particles are peeled off, and the material is pulverized, resulting in the loss of electrical contact between the active material and the current collector, and ultimately leading to a sharp decline in capacity.

[0022] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a carbon-based composite anode material, which includes a carbon material, a conductive agent, and a carbon aerogel; the carbon material, the conductive agent, and the carbon aerogel satisfy the following relational expression: 1 ≤ (m 2 × S 2 + m 3 × S 3 ) / (m 1 × S 1 ) ≤ 2; In the relational expression, S 1 is the specific surface area of the carbon material, with the unit of m 2 / g; m 1 is the addition amount of the carbon material, with the unit of g; S 2 is the specific surface area of the conductive agent, with the unit of m 2 / g; m 2 is the addition amount of the conductive agent, with the unit of g; S 3 is the specific surface area of the carbon aerogel, with the unit of m 2 / g; m 3 is the addition amount of the carbon aerogel, with the unit of g.

[0023] In the carbon-based composite anode material of the present application, the carbon material refers to a material mainly composed of carbon elements, such as graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon, etc. The conductive agent in the present application refers to a material that can improve the conductivity of the carbon-based composite anode material. The conductive agents are easy to overlap with each other to form a conductive network. For example, the conductive agent includes carbon nanotubes, carbon fiber tubes, carbon fibers, etc. The carbon aerogel in the present application is a gel material with a three-dimensional network structure formed by the connection of carbon nanoparticles. The carbon aerogel has a layered structure and contacts in a face-to-face form, increasing the contact area.

[0024] The carbon material, the conductive agent, and the carbon aerogel satisfy the following relational expression: 1 ≤ (m 2 × S 2 + m 3 × S 3 ) / (m 1 × S 1 ) ≤ 2; For example, (m 2 × S 2 + m 3 × S 3 ) / (m 1 × S 1 ) can be 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, or 2, etc.

[0025] It can be understood that S 1 is the specific surface area of the carbon material, and m 1 is the addition amount of the carbon material. Therefore, m 1 × S 1refers to the total area of the carbon material in the carbon-based composite anode material; similarly, m 2 ×S 2 refers to the total area of the conductive agent in the carbon-based composite anode material, m 3 ×S 3 refers to the total area of the carbon aerogel in the carbon-based composite anode material. Therefore, based on experience and experiments, it is found that the physical meaning of (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 ) is the degree of coating of the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel on the carbon material.

[0026] The carbon-based composite anode material provided by this application satisfies (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 ) within the range of 1 to 2, realizing the three-dimensional network construction of the carbon material, the carbon aerogel, and the conductive agent. The layers of the carbon aerogel are evenly separated, the conductive agent is evenly dispersed, and the conductive agent is interspersed between the layers of the carbon aerogel, avoiding the accumulation of the carbon aerogel and the agglomeration of the conductive agent. At the same time, the carbon material particles are confined within the network formed by the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel, enabling strong adhesion between the carbon material particles, enhancing the isotropy of the carbon material, significantly improving the multi-directional lithium-ion deintercalation channels and diffusion rate, and at the same time being able to alleviate the volume expansion of the carbon material during the cycling process, improving the first Coulombic efficiency, rate performance, and cycling performance of the battery; the carbon material in the carbon-based composite anode material is covered by the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel, which can reduce the contact between the carbon material and the electrolyte, reduce the side reaction between the carbon material and the electrolyte, and improve the first Coulombic efficiency, rate performance, and cycling performance of the battery. In addition, the carbon-based composite anode material has high electrical conductivity. When used in the negative electrode active material layer, it can be directly compounded with the binder without adding additional conductive materials, increasing the addition amount of the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode active material layer and improving the energy density of the battery. If (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 ) < 1, the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel cannot completely cover the carbon material, resulting in more side reactions between the carbon material and the electrolyte, leading to a decrease in the first Coulombic efficiency, rate performance, and cycling performance of the battery; if (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1When it is greater than 2, the addition amounts of the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel are excessive. The excessive carbon nanotubes and carbon aerogel agglomerate, forming an uneven and dense network structure, which hinders the diffusion and insertion process of lithium ions and restricts the rapid migration of lithium ions. In addition, the excessive carbon nanotubes and carbon aerogel may undergo structural changes or fall off during repeated charge and discharge processes, damaging the originally formed stable interface. Therefore, in this application, it is controlled that (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 )is in the range of 1 to 2, which can improve the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance, and cycle performance of the battery.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, 1.3 ≤ (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 )≤ 1.8. When (m 2 ×S 2 +m 3 ×S 3 ) / (m 1 ×S 1 )is in the range of 1.3 to 1.8, the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel can better cover the carbon material, can further reduce the side reaction between the conductive agent and the electrolyte, and at the same time can greatly improve the lithium ion conduction rate in the composite material, relieve the volume expansion of the composite material during the cycle, and make the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance, and cycle performance of the battery better.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, m 2 :m 3 = (1 to 5):1. For example, m 2 :m 3 can be 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 4.5:1, or 5:1, etc. When the mass ratio of the conductive agent to the carbon aerogel is within the above range, the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel can be better matched, so that the layers of the carbon aerogel are evenly separated, the conductive agent is spread out, the conductive agent is interspersed between the carbon aerogel layers, and the accumulation of the carbon aerogel and the agglomeration of the conductive agent are avoided to a greater extent, thereby better realizing the construction of the three-dimensional network, and further making the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance, and cycle performance of the battery higher.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, m 2 :m 3 = (2 to 3):1. For example, m 2 :m3 It can be 2.1:1, 2.2:1, 2.3:1, 2.4:1, 2.5:1, 2.6:1, 2.7:1, 2.8:1, 2.9:1 or 3:1, etc. When the mass ratio of the conductive agent to the carbon aerogel is within the above range, the compounding of the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel is more uniform, further avoiding the accumulation of the carbon aerogel and the agglomeration of the conductive agent, making the distribution of carbon nanotubes and carbon aerogel in the three-dimensional network more reasonable, thereby improving the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycling performance of the battery.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, the conductive agent includes carbon nanotubes and / or carbon fiber tubes. The carbon nanotubes or carbon fiber tubes have a high aspect ratio and are easy to overlap with each other, making it easier to form a conductive network.

[0031] Preferably, the conductive agent is carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes and the carbon aerogel can be better compounded, enabling the carbon nanotubes to better penetrate between the carbon aerogel layers, further avoiding the accumulation of the carbon aerogel and the agglomeration of the carbon nanotubes, thereby better coating the carbon material and forming a carbon-based composite negative electrode material with a more stable structure.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the carbon nanotube raw material includes array tubes and / or multi-walled tubes. When the carbon nanotube raw material is array tubes and / or multi-walled tubes, the carbon nanotubes have high conductivity, high mechanical properties and strong performance controllability, which is beneficial to the preparation of acidified carbon nanotubes and can improve the conductivity of the carbon-based composite negative electrode material, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the battery.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the diameter of the carbon nanotubes is 3 nm to 20 nm. For example, the diameter of the carbon nanotubes can be 3 nm, 4 nm, 6 nm, 8 nm, 10 nm, 12 nm, 14 nm, 16 nm, 18 nm or 20 nm, etc.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the specific surface area S of the carbon nanotubes 2 is 200 m 2 / g to 400 m 2 / g. For example, S 2 can be 200 m 2 / g, 220 m 2 / g, 240 m 2 / g, 260 m 2 / g, 280 m 2 / g, 300 m 2 / g, 320 m 2 / g, 340 m 2 / g, 360 m 2 / g, 380 m 2 / g or 400 m 2 / g, etc. When the tube diameter and specific surface area of the carbon nanotubes are within the above ranges, it is beneficial to construct the three-dimensional network of the carbon-based composite anode material, improve the stability of the carbon-based composite anode material, and make the electrochemical performance of the battery better.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the specific surface area S of the carbon aerogel 3 is 800 m 2 / g to 1600 m 2 / g. For example, the specific surface area of the carbon aerogel can be 800 m 2 / g, 900 m 2 / g, 1000 m 2 / g, 1100 m 2 / g, 1200 m 2 / g, 1300 m 2 / g, 1400 m 2 / g, 1500 m 2 / g or 1600 m 2 / g, etc.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the average pore diameter of the carbon aerogel is 1.4 nm to 2.3 nm. For example, the average pore diameter of the carbon aerogel can be 1.4 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.7 nm, 1.8 nm, 1.9 nm, 2 nm, 2.1 nm, 2.2 nm or 2.3 nm, etc.

[0037] When the specific surface area and average pore diameter of the carbon aerogel are within the above ranges, the carbon aerogel and carbon nanotubes can better cooperate and better coat the carbon material, which is beneficial to the construction of the three-dimensional network of the carbon-based composite anode material, and further improves the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycle performance of the battery.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the carbon material includes at least one of graphite, hard carbon, and soft carbon.

[0039] Preferably, the carbon material is graphite. When the carbon material is graphite, the graphite particles can be better incorporated into the conductive agent and the network of the carbon aerogel to achieve adhesion between the graphite particles, thereby better improving the multi-directional deintercalation channels and diffusion rate of lithium ions. Moreover, graphite has high stability and fewer side reactions with the electrolyte, thus further improving the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycle performance of the battery to a greater extent.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the specific surface area of the graphite is 1 m 2 / g to 3 m 2 / g. For example, the specific surface area of the graphite can be 1 m 2 / g, 1.2 m 2 / g, 1.4 m 2 / g, 1.6 m2 / g, 1.8 m 2 / g, 2 m 2 / g, 2.2 m 2 / g, 2.4 m 2 / g, 2.6 m 2 / g, 2.8 m 2 / g or 3 m 2 / g etc. When the specific surface area of the graphite is within the above range, the specific surface area of the carbon-based composite anode material can be further improved, which is beneficial to the deintercalation and migration of lithium ions, thereby further improving the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycling performance of the battery.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the graphite includes at least one of petroleum coke, pitch coke and needle coke. Petroleum coke, pitch coke and needle coke have low cost, high energy density, good chemical stability and mechanical properties, which can reduce the side reaction between graphite and electrolyte in the carbon-based composite anode material, improve the electrochemical performance of the battery, and at the same time help to reduce the cost of the carbon-based composite anode material, and are suitable for the industrial production of the carbon-based composite anode material.

[0042] This application also provides a preparation method of a carbon-based composite anode material, including the following steps: S1. Weigh m 1 with a specific surface area of S 1 of carbon material, m 2 with a specific surface area of S 2 of conductive agent, m 3 with a specific surface area of S 3 of carbon aerogel, mix them in a solvent, and then perform ultrasonic treatment to obtain an intermediate; S2. Calcinate the intermediate to obtain the carbon-based composite anode material; Among them, the carbon material, conductive agent and carbon aerogel satisfy the following relationship: 1 ≤ (m 2 × S 2 + m 3 × S 3 ) / (m 1 × S 1 ) ≤ 2.

[0043] Step S1: Mix the carbon material in a solvent to form a carbon material suspension. Subsequently, add a conductive agent and carbon aerogel and mix them, and then perform ultrasonic treatment to evenly separate the layers of the carbon aerogel by the conductive agent. At the same time, the layered structure of the carbon aerogel spreads out the conductive agent, preventing the accumulation of the carbon aerogel and the agglomeration of the conductive agent. The two cross-combine, with the conductive agent interspersed between the layers of the carbon aerogel, and the carbon material particles are confined within the network formed by the conductive agent and the carbon aerogel, forming a substance with a composite structure. Among them, the specific surface areas and addition amounts of the carbon material, carbon aerogel, and conductive agent satisfy the above relational formula. Subsequently, clean and dry this substance to obtain an intermediate product.

[0044] The intermediate product in this application refers to the intermediate product obtained after ultrasonic treatment of the carbon material, carbon aerogel, and conductive agent.

[0045] This application does not make specific limitations on the selection of the solvent, which can be selected according to actual needs. For example, a mixed solution of water and ethanol can be selected, and the volume ratio of water to ethanol is (5~6):(3~4), which is beneficial to the dispersion of the carbon material, carbon aerogel, and conductive agent.

[0046] This application does not make specific limitations on the selection of the physical parameters of the carbon material, carbon aerogel, and conductive agent, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0047] This application does not make specific limitations on the selection of the parameters of the ultrasonic treatment, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0048] Step S2: Place the intermediate product in a tube furnace, heat it for calcination treatment, and cool it to room temperature after the calcination ends to obtain a carbon-based composite anode material. During the calcination treatment process, the composite structure of the intermediate product is solidified, improving the stability of the carbon-based composite anode material. At the same time, the defects and impurities in the intermediate product can be removed, improving the purity of the carbon-based composite anode material.

[0049] This application does not make specific limitations on the selection of the parameters of the calcination treatment, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0050] Through the above preparation method of the carbon-based composite anode material, this application can evenly separate the layers of the carbon aerogel, spread out the conductive agent, with the conductive agent interspersed between the layers of the carbon aerogel, avoiding the accumulation of the carbon aerogel and the agglomeration of the conductive agent. At the same time, the carbon material particles are confined within the network formed by the carbon nanotubes and the carbon aerogel. Subsequently, the composite structure including the carbon material, carbon aerogel, and conductive agent is structurally solidified, improving the stability of the carbon-based composite anode material. This preparation method has simple process, low equipment requirements, and low cost, which is beneficial to industrial production.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, m 2 : m 3 = (2 to 3):1. For example, m 2 : m 3 can be 2:1, 2.1:1, 2.2:1, 2.3:1, 2.4:1, 2.5:1, 2.6:1, 2.7:1, 2.8:1, 2.9:1, or 3:1, etc.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, the specific surface area S of the carbon nanotubes 2 is 200 m² / g ~ 400 m² / g, 2 / g~400m 2 / g. For example, S 2 can be 200 m² / g, 2 220 m² / g, 2 240 m² / g, 2 260 m² / g, 2 280 m² / g, 2 300 m² / g, 2 320 m² / g, 2 340 m² / g, 2 360 m² / g, 2 380 m² / g, 2 or 400 m² / g, etc. 2 / g etc.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the conductive agent is carbon nanotubes; before step S1, the following steps for acidifying carbon nanotubes are further included: mixing carbon nanotubes with nitric acid solution and sulfuric acid solution and then performing stirring treatment to obtain acidified carbon nanotubes. The nitric acid solution and sulfuric acid solution in this application are concentrated nitric acid solution and concentrated sulfuric acid solution. In the preparation process of the acidified carbon nanotubes in this application, hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups and other oxygen-containing functional groups are introduced onto the surface of the carbon nanotubes through concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, promoting the dispersion of the acidified carbon nanotubes and reducing the degree of self-aggregation of the acidified carbon nanotubes. At the same time, under the action of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, the weak defect part of the carbon nanotube raw material will preferentially undergo an acidification reaction, causing the carbon nanotubes to be cut and shortened, further promoting the dispersion of the acidified carbon nanotubes, so as to better improve the stability of the carbon-based composite negative electrode material, and then improve the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycle performance of the battery.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes, nitric acid solution, and sulfuric acid solution is 1:(30 - 35):(100 - 120). For example, the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes, nitric acid solution, and sulfuric acid solution can be 1:30:100, 1:31:100, 1:32:100, 1:33:100, 1:34:100, 1:35:100, 1:30:110, 1:31:110, 1:32:110, 1:33:110, 1:34:110, 1:35:110, 1:30:120, 1:31:120, 1:32:120, 1:33:120, 1:34:120 or 1:35:120, etc. When the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes, nitric acid solution, and sulfuric acid solution is within the above range, the concentrated nitric acid solution and concentrated sulfuric acid solution can introduce hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups and other oxygen-containing functional groups onto the surface of the carbon nanotubes faster, and can further remove impurities and shorten the carbon nanotube raw material, to a greater extent improve the dispersibility of the acidified carbon nanotubes, inhibit the aggregation of the acidified carbon nanotubes, so as to better improve the conductivity of the carbon-based composite negative electrode material, and to a greater extent improve the first Coulomb efficiency, rate performance and cycle performance of the battery.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the carbon nanotube raw material includes array tubes and / or multi-walled tubes.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the stirring temperature for the stirring treatment is 100°C to 150°C. For example, the stirring temperature can be 100°C, 105°C, 110°C, 115°C, 120°C, 125°C, 130°C, 135°C, 140°C, 145°C, or 150°C, etc. The stirring time is 2h to 4h. For example, the stirring time can be 2h, 2.2h, 2.4h, 2.6h, 2.8h, 3h, 3.2h, 3.4h, 3.6h, 3.8h, or 4h, etc. When the stirring temperature and stirring time for the stirring treatment are within the above ranges, the acidification treatment of the carbon nanotubes is more complete, resulting in higher dispersibility of the acidified carbon nanotubes. This avoids a decrease in the dispersibility of the acidified carbon nanotubes due to too low a temperature or insufficient stirring time, or a decrease in the length and structural damage of the acidified carbon nanotubes, as well as a reduction in the stability of the carbon-based composite negative electrode material due to too high a temperature or excessive stirring time, thereby being able to better improve the electrochemical performance of the battery.
