Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technology of electrode materials, and particularly to a method for preparing a porous anode silicon-carbon material from a one-dimensional silicon-carbon composite. Background Art

[0002] Silicon, as a material with a high theoretical specific capacity (about 4200 mAh / g), is considered to be one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. When silicon reacts with lithium, it can form a stable Li-Si alloy, thereby providing a higher lithium storage capacity. However, during the lithiation and delithiation processes, silicon undergoes a large volume expansion and contraction, and this volume change can lead to the pulverization of silicon particles and the destruction of the electrode structure, thus accelerating the attenuation of battery performance.

[0003] To solve this problem, researchers have found that silicon-carbon composite materials are considered an effective solution due to their excellent electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and good mechanical properties. By combining silicon nanoparticles with carbon materials, silicon-carbon composite materials can not only buffer the volume change of silicon during charge and discharge processes but also improve the electrical conductivity and structural stability of the electrode.

[0004] In the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN117996047A, a method for preparing a biomass hard carbon composite silicon-carbon anode material is disclosed. In this method for preparing the biomass hard carbon composite silicon-carbon anode material, biomass raw materials are pre-carbonized, pulverized, and calcined to obtain biomass carbon materials; nano-silicon slurries are prepared; the biomass carbon materials, nano-silicon slurries, and asphalt are respectively put into a dispersion tank in a certain proportion, and after stirring with ethanol as a solvent, spray granulation is carried out to obtain reaction product III; asphalt is added to reaction product III for solid-phase mixing and primary granulation to obtain reaction product V; asphalt is added to reaction product V for solid-phase mixing and secondary granulation to obtain reaction product VII, and then reaction product VII is sieved to obtain the final product.

[0005] In the existing composite silicon-carbon anode materials, the size of the used silicon particles is too large (D50 = 100 - 120 nm), and the materials are extremely easy to break during the charge and discharge processes of the battery. Moreover, due to the very poor electrical conductivity of silicon, the lithium ion mobility is low. At high rates, lithium cannot penetrate deep into the silicon particles, resulting in rapid attenuation of battery performance, reduction of cycle life, and safety problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] S1. First, using carbon nanotubes CNT as the substrate, nano-silicon is deposited on the surface of the carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition to prepare a one-dimensional silicon-carbon Si / CNT composite;

[0009] S2. Then, the one-dimensional silicon-carbon Si / CNT composite and a surfactant are added to water. After stirring evenly, an ethanol mixed solution dissolved with a resin material is added. After ultrasonic stirring evenly at room temperature, it is dried to obtain a Si / CNT / C precursor material;

[0010] S3. The Si / CNT / C precursor material is placed in a tube furnace and sintered under an argon atmosphere to obtain a Si / CNT / C material;

[0011] S4. The Si / CNT / C material is added to an organic solvent containing a biomass material. After stirring evenly, it is vacuum dried to obtain solid particles;

The carbon nanotubes CNT provide a fast lithium-ion transport channel. Due to the small size of the nano-silicon, it effectively alleviates the volume expansion caused by lithium intercalation and also facilitates the easier and more uniform intercalation of lithium into silicon to form a lithium-silicon alloy.

This overall structure is also conducive to improving the rate performance of the material. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0072]

[0073] Nanoscale silicon is deposited on the surface of carbon nanotubes CNT. The carbon nanotubes CNT provide a fast transmission channel for lithium ions. Due to the small size of nanoscale silicon, the volume expansion caused by lithium intercalation is effectively alleviated, and it is also beneficial for lithium to be more easily and uniformly intercalated into silicon to form a lithium-silicon alloy.

[0074] Double-layer carbon coating is adopted. The inner layer of carbon is used to isolate the electrolyte from contacting with silicon, and the outer layer uses biomass raw materials. Because biomass has porous characteristics, there is no need to add a pore-forming agent. The porous structure is beneficial to promoting the penetration of the electrolyte, increasing the contact area between the electrolyte and silicon-carbon, and also helps to alleviate volume expansion. This overall structure is also beneficial to improving the rate performance of the material.

[0075] By controlling the dispersibility of CNT in the resin, the uniform distribution of silicon particles is achieved. After the resin is carbonized, amorphous carbon cross-linked with carbon nanotubes can be formed, which can uniformly coat the surface of Si / CNT, and is beneficial to improving the structural stability and conductivity of the material.
