Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and more particularly, to a composite anode material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Silicon-carbon materials are applied to high specific energy density lithium-ion batteries due to their advantages such as high specific capacity and wide material sources. However, their high swelling at full charge and poor cycling performance limit their application to only power tools, digital devices, etc., and they cannot be applied to fields such as EVs.

[0003] The reason for the large swelling of the silicon-carbon material is that the silicon grains of the silicon-carbon material prepared by the sanding method are relatively large (about 20 nm), resulting in poor cycling performance. To improve the cycling performance and reduce swelling, it is necessary to start from reducing the size of the silicon grains. The nano-silicon prepared by the silane pyrolysis method for silicon-carbon materials has small silicon grains (2-3 nm), low swelling, and good cycling performance. However, the power performance of the porous carbon structure is poor, reducing its rate performance. Moreover, after infiltrating nano-silicon, there is still a contact force between the silicon nanoparticles, and the nano-silicon still has a certain degree of swelling.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the following drawings are some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0044] Figure 1 It is a diffusion coefficient curve graph of the batteries prepared from the negative electrode materials in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0045] The following will describe the implementation plans of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present invention. For those conditions not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to the conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. For the reagents or instruments not specified in the manufacturer, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchase.

[0046] According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention relates to a composite negative electrode material, which includes a matrix material and a carbon coating layer covering at least a part of the surface of the matrix material; the matrix material includes porous carbon and barium titanate (BTO), and silicon material is loaded in the pores of the porous carbon.

[0047] Barium titanate has a cubic structure above 120 °C, which is an ideal perovskite structure. Below 120 °C, the crystal is distorted and becomes a tetragonal structure, and Ba 2+ and Ti 4+ ions relative to O 2-A displacement occurs, resulting in a dipole moment. Usually, the transition temperature of 120 °C is called the Curie temperature or Curie point. Above the Curie point, there is no ferroelectricity, and below the Curie point, there is ferroelectricity. At room temperature, the BTO material has a tetragonal crystal structure, so it has good ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. Since BTO is a piezoelectric metal oxide, its piezoelectric constant is d33 = 350 pC·N -1 ; The coordination of barium titanate and porous carbon is more conducive to alleviating volume expansion. The loaded silicon material will produce volume expansion during the cycling process, and the resulting mechanical pressure induces the piezoelectric effect of barium titanate, making it a pole, thus forming a local piezoelectric electric field to promote the diffusion of lithium ions, affecting the mobility of lithium ions, and thereby improving the rate performance. Through the coordinated cooperation of each component, the negative electrode material of the present invention simultaneously has high capacity, high initial efficiency, excellent rate performance and long cycle performance, and can be applied to lithium ion secondary batteries.

[0048] In one embodiment, the silicon material includes nanosilicon. In one embodiment, part of the barium titanate is loaded in the pores of the porous carbon; the remaining part of the barium titanate is located outside the porous carbon and exists in a mixed form. Increasing barium titanate is equivalent to pre-modifying the porous carbon, which can interact with the nanosilicon inside the pores during the subsequent silicon loading process. The nanosilicon can induce the piezoelectric effect of BTO during the charging and discharging expansion process, making it a pole, thus forming a local piezoelectric electric field to promote the diffusion of lithium ions, affecting the mobility of lithium ions, and thereby improving the rate performance.

[0049] In one embodiment, the mass of the barium titanate accounts for 0.1% - 10% of the sum of the masses of the porous carbon and the carbon coating layer, including but not limited to 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 8% or 10%, etc. By using an appropriate amount of barium titanate, it can better play a coordinating role with the porous carbon to improve the electrochemical performance of the finally obtained negative electrode material. Doping too much barium titanate will block the channels for silicon infiltration and is not conducive to silicon loading, while too little barium titanate is not conducive to the exertion of the piezoelectric effect and weakens the modification effect. In one embodiment, the content and distribution of Ba and Ti elements can be tested by EDS.

[0050] In one embodiment, the mass of the silicon material accounts for 5% - 85% of the mass of the composite negative electrode material, including but not limited to 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 60%, 70% or 80%, etc.

[0051] In the composite negative electrode material of the present invention, each component has an appropriate mass ratio, which can better improve the conductivity of the negative electrode material, so as to improve the rate performance, cycle stability performance and safety performance of the battery prepared therefrom.

[0059] In one embodiment, the wet mixing specifically includes: subjecting the mixed system of the porous carbon raw material, the barium titanate raw material, and the organic solvent to ultrasonic treatment, and then performing solid-liquid separation to collect the solid matter. In one embodiment, during the wet mixing process, the power of the ultrasonic treatment is 300 to 500 W, such as 300 W, 350 W, 400 W, 450 W, 500 W, etc.; the time for the ultrasonic treatment is 1 to 2 h, such as 1 h, 1.5 h, or 2 h, etc.; the dosage ratio of the barium titanate raw material to the organic solvent is 1 g:(10 to 30) mL, such as 1 g:10 mL, 1 g:15 mL, 1 g:20 mL, 1 g:30 mL, etc. In one embodiment, heat treatment is performed during the ultrasonic treatment. Through the above wet mixing conditions, the materials are uniformly dispersed, and part of the barium titanate raw material is loaded in the pores of the porous carbon raw material, which is beneficial to improving the electrochemical performance of the negative electrode material.

In one embodiment, the chamber includes a CVD rotary furnace. In one embodiment, during the first vapor deposition, the temperature of the first heat treatment is 500-700°C, such as 500°C, 550°C, 600°C, 650°C, 700°C, etc.; the holding time is 2-6h, such as 2h, 3h or 4h, etc. In one embodiment, during the first vapor deposition, the heating rate of the first heat treatment is 3-6°C / min, such as 3°C / min, 5°C / min, etc. In one embodiment, during the first vapor deposition, a protective gas is continuously introduced, and the protective gas includes at least one of nitrogen and an inert gas. The present invention adopts a suitable first vapor deposition condition, so that the silicon element is better deposited in the pores of the porous carbon material, so as to better exert the synergistic effect of each component and improve the electrochemical performance of the negative electrode material.

[0064] In one embodiment, a protective gas is first introduced into the CVD rotary furnace, and then a mixed gas of a silicon source gas and a protective gas is introduced, wherein the concentration of the silicon source gas in the mixed gas is 10% to 50%, for example, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50%, etc. In one embodiment, the rotation speed of the rotary furnace is 20 to 100 seconds per revolution.

[0110] II. Performance Test of the Battery

[0111] Prepare the negative electrode materials of each example and comparative example into button cells respectively. The specific preparation method includes:

[0112] The composite anode materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples were mixed according to the mass ratio of composite anode material: polyacrylic acid resin (PAA): single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT): conductive carbon black (SP) = 82:7:1:10, made into a slurry with deionized water, uniformly coated on a copper foil, and vacuum dried at 80 °C for 24 h to obtain the battery electrode sheets for experiments. Then, using a lithium sheet as the counter electrode, an electrolyte of 1.1 mol / L LiPF6 with a solvent of a four-component mixed solvent, ethylene carbonate (EC): vinylene carbonate (VC): dimethyl carbonate (DMC): fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) = 1:1:1:1 (volume ratio), and a polypropylene microporous film as the separator, a CR2025-type button half-cell was assembled in a vacuum glove box.

[0113] A battery test system (a half-cell test using an American Arbin multi-channel battery test system and a German Braun Labstar (1200 / 780) type glove box) was used to test the capacity, initial charge-discharge efficiency (first efficiency), and cycle retention rate.
