Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium battery materials, and particularly relates to a negative electrode material for a fast-charging lithium-ion battery and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid growth of the global electric vehicle market and the increasing demand for fast-charging battery technology, the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries with fast-charging capabilities has become an inevitable trend. However, there are key technical obstacles such as volume expansion, capacity degradation during fast charging, and safety hazards in the application of silicon-based negative electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Silicon has a band gap. Compared with traditional negative electrode materials such as graphite, the availability of charge carriers is limited, resulting in lower conductivity, which will hinder the efficient electron transport during fast charge and discharge cycles. During the fast charging process, the current is large and needs to pass through the negative electrode material quickly. The low conductivity of silicon leads to an increase in internal resistance, which limits the charging speed of the silicon-based negative electrode.

[0004] The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN118198292A discloses a fast-charging negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof, and an application, including porous graphite and a nano-solid electrolyte embedded in the pores of the porous graphite. The conductivity of graphite is improved by a nano-solid electrolyte slurry with strong conductivity. However, in this solution, the mixing method of the nano-solid electrolyte slurry and the porous graphite is only physical vibration mixing, which is greatly affected by the dispersibility of the nano-solid electrolyte slurry. Nano-scale substances are prone to agglomeration, and the improvement of the conductivity of the obtained negative electrode material is small.

[0005] The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN114538431A discloses a fast-charging graphite negative electrode material for a lithium battery and a preparation method thereof. Small-sized primary single particles are used to shorten the lithium-ion transmission path, and resin is used to make hard carbon coating the primary single particles to obtain larger-sized graphitized secondary particles, increasing the carbon layer spacing, which is beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions. However, in this solution, pure carbon materials are used as the battery negative electrode material, and the energy density of the battery negative electrode material is low. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of how to improve the conductivity of the negative electrode material of a lithium-ion battery, improve the current transmission speed, and increase the energy density of the negative electrode material, and provide a negative electrode material for a fast-charging lithium-ion battery and a preparation method thereof.

[0007] The present invention embeds nano-silicon and iron tetroxide in porous graphite to improve the conductivity and ion transmission ability of the negative electrode material of a lithium-ion battery. A carbon layer formed by coating polyacrylic acid on the surface of the nano-silicon reduces the volume expansion of the nano-silicon during charge and discharge, and improves the energy density of the negative electrode material.

[0008] The object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0009] A preparation method of a negative electrode material for a fast-charging lithium-ion battery, comprising the following steps:

Dissolve ferric nitrate nonahydrate in an ethanol aqueous solution, add it to the reaction kettle for ultrasonic mixing, heat to 110 - 130 °C for a closed reaction for 20 - 24 h, cool and then filter to collect the precipitate, wash the precipitate, and vacuum dry to obtain the iron composite porous graphite; the ethanol aqueous solution has a mass fraction of 65 - 75%.

[0015] Furthermore, the dosage ratio of the porous graphite dispersion liquid, trimesic acid ethanol solution, ferric nitrate nonahydrate, and ethanol aqueous solution is 500 - 800 mL : 100 - 150 mL : 10 - 20 g : 100 - 150 mL.

[0016] Furthermore, the porous graphite dispersion liquid is prepared by mixing porous graphite and an ethanol aqueous solution according to a dosage ratio of 10 - 20 g : 500 - 800 mL; the trimesic acid ethanol solution is prepared by mixing trimesic acid and absolute ethanol according to a dosage ratio of 8 - 10 g : 100 - 150 mL.

[0017] Further, the porous graphite is prepared by the following steps:

[0018] In a reaction kettle, sodium chloride, cellulose fiber, and mesophase pitch at 300 - 350 °C are stirred and mixed in an argon atmosphere for 3 - 4 h. Then, the temperature of the reaction kettle is raised to 400 - 450 °C, and the reaction is carried out at a pressure of 2 - 2.5 MPa for 2 - 3 h. After cooling, it is washed with deionized water and dried at 100 - 120 °C to obtain an asphalt intermediate foam. Under nitrogen protection, it is heated to 850 - 900 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min for carbonization for 60 - 70 min to obtain a carbonized foam. Finally, it is graphitized by heating to 2500 - 2600 °C to obtain the porous graphite.

[0022] Advantages of the present invention:

[0023] (1) The negative electrode material for fast - charging lithium - ion batteries prepared by the present invention improves the electrical conductivity and ion transport ability of the negative electrode of the lithium - ion battery by embedding nano - silicon and iron trioxide in the porous graphite. By forming a carbon layer coating on the surface of the nano - silicon with polyacrylic acid, the volume expansion of the nano - silicon during charge and discharge is reduced. By in - situ generating the precursor Fe - MOF of iron trioxide on the surface of the porous graphite, iron trioxide is generated on the basis of the structure of Fe - MOF, with a uniform binding degree to the porous graphite, a large specific surface area, good ion transport efficiency, and the charging speed and charging efficiency of the negative electrode material are improved.

[0024] (2) The preparation method of the present invention prepares porous graphite by mixing refined coal tar pitch with sodium chloride and cellulose fiber. The obtained porous graphite has abundant pores and cracks, a high specific surface area, and strong electrical conductivity. By in - situ generating Fe - MOF on the surface of the porous graphite, Fe - MOF is uniformly combined in the pores and cracks of the porous graphite. Utilizing the modification effect of sulfonic acid groups on the porous graphite and Fe - MOF, the nano - silicon is uniformly attached under the cross - linking action of sulfonic acid groups, increasing the dispersion degree of the nano - silicon in the porous graphite. Finally, the nano - silicon is coated with polyacrylic acid and annealed at high temperature, and Fe - MOF is oxidized to iron trioxide to improve the ion transport ability. By using the carbonization effect at high temperature, the polyacrylic acid and the ligands in Fe - MOF are carbonized, so that the nano - silicon is coated with a carbon layer, reducing the volume expansion effect of the nano - silicon and enhancing the binding strength among the nano - silicon, iron trioxide, and porous graphite.

[0041] Principle of the invention: Using pitch mesophase as the raw material, sodium chloride as the template, and cellulose fiber as the porous channel, porous graphite with a porous structure is prepared. By utilizing the differences in the graphitization rate and volume between cellulose and pitch intermediate graphite, the proportion of pores and fissures in the porous graphite is increased, thereby increasing the deposition area of Fe-MOF and nanosilicon. Fe-MOF is in-situ hydrothermally generated on the surface of the porous graphite, and Fe-MOF is uniformly compounded on the surface and pores of the conductive graphite. The ligand of Fe-MOF in the iron / graphite composite powder is sulfonated by p-toluenesulfonic acid, and the surface of the porous graphite is sulfonic acid-modified. By means of the electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bond interaction between the sulfonic acid group and the basic center of nanosilicon, nanosilicon is uniformly compounded on the surface of the iron / graphite composite powder. Then, by means of the grafting action between polyacrylic acid and the sulfonic acid group, polyacrylic acid is coated on the surface of the porous graphite to coat the nanosilicon on the surface of the porous graphite. Then, through high-temperature annealing treatment, Fe-MOF is oxidized into iron oxide, and the anode material doped with iron oxide has high specific capacity, cycle stability, and rate performance. The high-temperature annealing treatment simultaneously carbonizes the ligand in Fe-MOF and polyacrylic acid to form a firm carbon structure to wrap the nanosilicon in the porous graphite, reducing the volume expansion of nanosilicon during charge and discharge, improving the electrical conductivity and ion transport efficiency, and increasing the charging speed.

[0042] The cellulose fiber is wood fiber with a length of 10 - 15 μm and a diameter of 1 - 2 μm.

[0043] Comparative Example 1: The difference from Example 1 is that in S1, no cellulose fiber is added, and the anode material for a fast-charging lithium-ion battery is prepared.

[0044] Comparative Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that in S2, 10 g of porous graphite is mixed with 500 mL of 65 wt% ethanol aqueous solution in a reaction kettle, and 8 g of nanoiron is added to the reaction kettle and ultrasonically mixed for 20 min to obtain iron composite porous graphite, and the anode material for a fast-charging lithium-ion battery is prepared.

[0045] Comparative Example 3: The difference from Example 1 is that in S3, no p-toluenesulfonic acid is added, and the anode material for a fast-charging lithium-ion battery is prepared.

[0046] The performance of the anode materials for fast - charging lithium - ion batteries prepared in Examples 1 - 3 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3 was tested. 80 mg of the anode material for fast - charging lithium - ion batteries was used as the active material, 10 mg of conductive carbon black and 10 mg of polyvinylidene fluoride were mixed in an agate mortar to form a uniform ink. After coating it on an 18 - μm copper foil with a scraper, it was dried at 80 °C for 1 h and then dried under vacuum for 3 h. The prepared electrode was made into a disk with a diameter of 10 mm. The electrolyte used was a silicon - based anode material electrolyte (1 mol / L LiPF6, EC:DEC = 1:1, 10% FEC), the separator was made of PP material, and the lithium foil was used as the counter electrode to assemble a CR2032 - type lithium half - cell. The batteries corresponding to Examples 1 - 3 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3 were respectively tested for their rate performance at a current density of 0.2 A g -1 and 1 A g -1 , and after 50 cycles, the discharge capacity was tested, and the capacity degradation rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1 as follows:

[0047] Table 1

[0048]

[0049] As can be seen from Table 1, the batteries assembled with the anode materials for fast - charging lithium - ion batteries prepared by the present invention have a high specific capacity. Even when charged and discharged at a high current density, they can still maintain a relatively high battery capacity. After 50 cycles, the capacity degradation rate is low. Even at a high current density, the capacity degradation rate is still lower than 50%, indicating that the anode materials for fast - charging lithium - ion batteries prepared by the present invention have high stability, fast current transmission speed, and high discharge capacity.

[0050] In Comparative Example 1, due to the absence of cellulose fibers, the content of cracks in the prepared porous graphite is small, and the degree of composite of Fe - MOF and porous graphite is low. Therefore, its performance is slightly lower than that of Examples 1 - 3.

[0051] In Comparative Example 2, since nano - iron and porous graphite are physically mixed, nano - iron is prone to agglomeration, and its dispersion degree on the surface of porous graphite is low. The performance of the prepared anode material is poor.

[0052] In Comparative Example 3, due to the absence of p - toluenesulfonic acid, nano - silicon is prone to agglomeration, and its dispersion degree in porous graphite is low. The volume expansion rate of the agglomerated nano - silicon particles during charge and discharge is large, resulting in damage to the anode material and a large capacity degradation rate.

[0053] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
