[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles, people have higher and higher requirements for the driving range and fast charging of electric vehicles. A key material that determines the fast-charging performance is the anode material of the battery cell. Since the lithium intercalation potential of the graphite anode is relatively low during charging, about 0.1V (vs. Li / Li + ), once the charging current is too high and lithium ions accumulate on the surface of the graphite, the lithium ions will directly obtain electrons on the surface of the anode and undergo a reduction reaction to generate lithium metal, which will lead to serious safety problems.

[0045] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings required for use in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Those not specified in the embodiments are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments not specified by the manufacturer are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchase.
[0050] Coating an amorphous carbon structure (including hard carbon and soft carbon) on the surface of the negative electrode material can, on the one hand, provide more lithium-ion channels by the amorphous carbon, and on the other hand, reduce the desolvation barrier of lithium ions, overall reducing the concentration polarization and the possibility of lithium deposition. At the same time, the amorphous carbon on the surface can also prevent the direct contact between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte, ensuring that the structure of the material is not easily damaged. Therefore, the performance of the negative electrode material can be improved by coating amorphous carbon on the surface of the active material. However, when the coating amount is small, the improvement of the fast charging performance cannot meet the requirements; while when the coating amount is large, although the fast charging performance will be significantly improved, due to more active sites in the amorphous carbon itself, more active lithium ions will be consumed during the first charging process, resulting in a decrease in the first efficiency, and the side reactions will be more intense under high temperature conditions, leading to the deterioration of the high temperature performance of the negative electrode material such as high temperature storage and high temperature cycling performance.
[0051] An embodiment of the present invention provides a fast charging negative electrode material, as shown in Figure 1 which includes: a negative electrode active core material, a first amorphous carbon layer coated on the surface of the negative electrode active core material, and a second amorphous carbon layer coated on the surface of the first amorphous carbon layer;

[0054] This application improves the fast charging performance of the negative electrode material by coating amorphous carbon on the surface of the negative electrode active core material; further, in order to comprehensively consider the first efficiency and high temperature performance of the negative electrode material, this application sets two amorphous carbon coating layers, reasonably controlling the microcrystalline size Lc and layer spacing d in the two amorphous carbon coating layers 002 to simultaneously meet the limited range, which is beneficial to improving the ion conduction rate of the negative electrode material; and by controlling the microcrystalline size Lc and layer spacing d of the second amorphous carbon layer 002 , it is beneficial to reduce the active sites of the reaction, lower the surface activity, and improve the first efficiency and high temperature performance.

It can be understood that if two-stage heating is used to reach 1000°C, the first stage is heated to about 500°C, and the second stage is heated to about 1000°C; if three-stage heating is used to reach 1200°C, the first stage is heated to about 400°C, the second stage is heated to about 800°C, and the third stage is heated to about 1200°C.
[0096] In the present application, the carbonization treatment is carried out in stages. During the carbonization process, the organic components in the carbon source are pyrolyzed and carbonized into carbon. As the released carbon atoms or small molecular carbon chains are deposited on the particle surface and gradually form a carbon layer, the segmented carbonization treatment can accurately control the degree of disorder and graphitization of the carbon layer compared with the carbon layer formed by one-time carbonization, resulting in a large difference in the microcrystal size in the c-axis direction and the layer spacing of the 002 crystal plane of the carbon layer material.
[0097] More preferably, in the present application, the first carbonization uses one-stage heating, and the second carbonization uses multi-stage heating, which can accurately control the degree of disorder and graphitization of the first amorphous carbon layer and the second amorphous carbon layer.
[0098] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a secondary battery, including the fast-charging negative electrode material described in any one of the foregoing embodiments.
[0099] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0100] Example 1
[0101] This example provides a preparation method for a fast-charging negative electrode material, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0102] Step 1: Mix artificial graphite (volume distribution particle size Dv50 is 13um, specific surface area is 1.7m 2 / g, tapped density is 1.1g / cm 3 , and specific capacity is 353mAh / g) and polyacrylonitrile (molecular weight 20,000) in a mass ratio of 100:2, add ethanol for stirring (solid content is 10%), stir for 2 hours to mix evenly, and then perform spray treatment through a spray dryer. The inlet temperature of the spray dryer is controlled at 250°C to obtain a primary coated product. Place the obtained primary coated product in a carbonization furnace for primary carbonization treatment. The carbonization treatment is specifically as follows: under a nitrogen atmosphere, heat up to 1200°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and keep the temperature for 6h. After the temperature of the carbonization furnace drops to room temperature, disperse and screen the material to obtain a primary carbonized product.
[0103] Step 2: Homogenize and mix the obtained primary carbonized product and pitch (softening point 55°C) in a mass ratio of 102:2, place the mixed product in a carbonization furnace for secondary carbonization treatment. The carbonization treatment is specifically as follows: under a nitrogen atmosphere, first heat up to 200°C at a rate of 10°C / min, keep the temperature for 2h, then heat up to 800°C at a rate of 5°C / min, keep the temperature for 2h, and then heat up to 1200°C at a rate of 3°C / min, keep the temperature for 4h. After the temperature of the carbonization furnace drops to room temperature, disperse, screen, and demagnetize the material to obtain a secondary carbonized product. The TEM image is as Figure 2 shown.
[0104] Testing
[0105] (1) Determination of Lc and d 002 Measurements: Test the primary carbonized product Gr@CJA1 and the secondary carbonized product Gr@CJA1@CLA2 by XRD (angle range: 2θ = 10 - 80°) to obtain the XRD curve. Use origin for Gaussian fitting to obtain 2θ and the full width at half maximum of the 002 peak, and then calculate the interlayer spacing d002 through the Bragg formula and Lc through the Scherrer formula.
[0106] (2) Preparation and testing of coin cells
[0107] The fast-charging anode material prepared above was mixed with a binder (SBR), a dispersant (CMC), and a conductive agent (SP) in a mass ratio of 95.7:1.8:1.5:1 and uniformly stirred and dispersed in an appropriate amount of deionized water. Subsequently, it was coated on the surface of the copper foil anode current collector and dried in an 80°C oven to obtain the anode electrode sheet. Then, the anode electrode sheet was die-cut into anode electrode sheets with a diameter of 14 mm and assembled with a lithium metal sheet, an electrolyte (concentration: 1 mol / L, solvent: EC:EMC:DEC = 1:1:1, solute: LiPF6), and a separator (polyethylene) into a CR2016 button-type half-cell battery model.
[0108] Button cell test: The assembled button cell was placed in a 25°C constant temperature oven for charge-discharge testing. First, it was activated at 0.05C for two weeks (voltage range: 0.005 - 1.5V) to obtain the capacity and initial efficiency. The last step was to charge at a constant current of 0.05C to 1.5V, and then discharge at a constant current of 1C for 60 minutes. Record the capacity Q0 at 0V and the discharge capacity Q. T , and calculate the SOC (%) at 0V at 1C = Q0 / Q T *100. If the SOC at 0V is higher, it indicates that the polarization of the fast-charging anode material is smaller and the fast-charging performance is better.
[0109] (3) Preparation and testing of full cell
[0110] The fast-charging anode material prepared above was mixed with a binder (SBR), a dispersant (CMC), and a conductive agent (SP) in a mass ratio of 95:2:2:1 and uniformly stirred and dispersed in an appropriate amount of deionized water. Subsequently, it was coated on the surface of the copper foil anode current collector and dried and rolled to obtain the anode electrode sheet.
[0111] LFP (lithium iron phosphate) was mixed with a conductive agent (SP) and a binder (PVDF) in a mass ratio of 97:1:2 and stirred and dispersed in an appropriate amount of NMP. Subsequently, it was coated on the surface of the aluminum foil cathode current collector and dried and rolled to obtain the cathode electrode sheet.
[0112] A polypropylene film with a thickness of 10 μm was used as the separator, and the electrode assembly was laminated in the order of anode, separator, and cathode and placed in the outer package. After drying, processes such as liquid injection, first sealing, vacuum pumping, formation and grading, and second sealing were carried out to obtain the full cell.
[0113] Full cell test: Place the assembled fresh battery in a constant temperature oven at 25°C, perform constant current charging at 0.1C current until 3.65V, then constant voltage until 0.05C, and then select 0.1C constant current discharge until 2.5V. This is one cycle. Then perform 2 more cycles according to this test procedure. Take the discharge capacity of the last cycle as the reference Q1. Then charge the battery at a constant current of 0.1C until 3.65V, and place the battery in a fully charged state with constant voltage to 0.05C in a high temperature oven at 55°C and keep it for 7 days without opening the box. After 7 days, take out the battery, let it stand at room temperature of 25°C for 4h, and after it returns to 25°C, perform a discharge test. Discharge at a constant current of 0.1C, and the cut-off voltage is 2.5V. Record the discharge capacity at this time as the discharge capacity Q2 after storage at 55°C for 7 days. The charge-discharge curve is as Figure 3 shown. The calculation formula for the storage capacity retention rate A% after storage at 55°C for 7 days is as follows: A% = Q1 / Q2 * 100. The higher the storage capacity retention rate A% after storage at 55°C for 7 days, the less side reactions occur on the surface of the fast-charging anode material and the better the high-temperature performance.

[0156] The test method, the preparation and testing of the coin cell, and the preparation and testing of the full cell are all the same as those in Example 1.
[0157] The parameters and performance of the fast - charging materials prepared in the above - mentioned examples and comparative examples were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0158] Table 1
[0159]
[0160]
[0161] The particle size, specific surface area, tapped density, capacity and other parameters of the fast - charging anode materials prepared in each example and comparative example are all within the range described in the specification of this application.
[0162] Generally speaking, the first amorphous carbon layer is mainly to increase the ionic conductivity. Therefore, when L c is too large and d 002 is too small, the resistance to the diffusion of lithium ions inside is greater, which is not conducive to the improvement of fast - charging performance. The structure of the second amorphous carbon layer has a greater impact on the initial efficiency and high - temperature performance. Therefore, when Lc is too small and d 002 is too large, it indicates that the carbon microcrystals in the surface carbon layer structure are smaller, and more active sites are exposed, which will cause an increase in side reactions, resulting in the deterioration of the initial efficiency and high - temperature performance.
[0163] For the fast - charging anode material prepared in Example 1, the Lc and d 002 of the first amorphous carbon layer meet 8 ≤ P1 ≤ 15, and the second amorphous carbon layer also meets 6.4 ≤ P2 ≤ 7.5. Its overall initial efficiency, high - temperature performance and fast - charging performance are good. For the fast - charging anode material prepared in Comparative Example 1, the Ps of the first amorphous carbon layer and the second amorphous carbon layer are not within the limited range. The L c of the first amorphous carbon layer is larger and d 002 is smaller, so the resistance to the diffusion of lithium ions inside is greater. And for the second amorphous carbon layer, Lc is smaller and d002 is larger, so there are more surface active sites and more side reactions. Therefore, although the fast - charging performance of the fast - charging anode material prepared in Comparative Example 1 has been improved to some extent, its initial efficiency and high - temperature performance are significantly poor.
[0164] For the fast - charging anode materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 4, there is a situation where the Lc and d 002 of one of the first amorphous carbon layer and the second amorphous carbon layer do not satisfy the limited relational formula. Therefore, when the fast - charging performance is good, the initial efficiency and high - temperature performance are poor, and when the initial efficiency and high - temperature performance are good, the fast - charging performance is discounted. In Comparative Examples 2 - 3, only one layer of carbon layer is coated. Although the fast - charging performance is improved compared with Example 1, the initial efficiency and high - temperature performance are relatively poor.
[0165] In Examples 2 - 6, the Lc and d 002 of the first amorphous carbon layer and the second amorphous carbon layer both satisfy the limited relational formula, so they can better balance fast - charging, high - temperature, initial - efficiency and other performances.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations.
