Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and in particular to a lithium-ion battery negative electrode plate, a lithium-ion battery comprising the same, and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. However, the performance of LIBs remains significantly limited under high-rate charge / discharge conditions and at low temperatures. Traditional graphite anode materials offer excellent cycle stability and low expansion, but their rate and low-temperature performance are limited. This is primarily due to the significant reduction in the lithium-ion diffusion rate of graphite anode materials at low temperatures, resulting in a significant decrease in charge / discharge efficiency and rate performance.
[0003] In contrast, silicon has attracted considerable attention due to its ultra-high theoretical specific capacity, making it a promising material for improving the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon undergoes a volume change of over 300% during lithium insertion / extraction. This dramatic expansion leads to damage to the electrode structure, increased electrolyte decomposition, and instability of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film, significantly limiting its practical application in terms of cycle life and rate performance.
[0004] To combine the advantages of graphite and silicon, researchers have proposed combining graphite with silicon, leveraging graphite's structural stability with silicon's high capacity to achieve a balance between rate capability, low-temperature performance, and cycling performance. However, the composite's overall performance is significantly impacted by the ratio of graphite to silicon-carbon, the adjustment of graphite interlayer spacing, the design of particle size, and the optimization of the anode compaction density. Prior art has yet to establish a systematic optimization strategy for regulating these key parameters.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a systematic approach to achieve an optimal balance between rate performance, low-temperature performance and cycle performance by optimizing the ratio of graphite to silicon and their structural properties, so as to provide theoretical guidance and practical solutions for the design of high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

[0074] (2) Negative electrode production method:
[0075] The negative electrode sheet includes the negative electrode current collector copper foil and the negative electrode coating material coated on both sides of the copper foil. Calculated by mass percentage, the negative electrode coating material includes:

The negative electrode coating material was then coated on both sides of the negative electrode current collector (copper foil). After drying and cold pressing, a negative electrode sheet was formed with a compaction density of 1.5 g / cm 3 ;
[0078] The low-temperature bromine intercalation method operates as follows: First, graphite and excess Br are sealed in a glass tube and reacted at a constant temperature of 60°C for 2 hours (Br diffuses and inserts into the interlayer to form a CBr intercalation compound). Then, the reaction is quickly transferred to a 200°C tubular furnace, purged with nitrogen, and heat treated for 30 minutes. Br is vaporized by heat to generate pressure, and the distance between graphite layers increases.

[0136] Test Method
[0137] The specific method is as follows:
[0138] First, discharge the lithium-ion battery at a constant current to 2.5V to ensure it is in a safe state to reduce the risk of short circuit or thermal runaway during disassembly. In a glove box (argon or other inert atmosphere protection), carefully disassemble the battery and remove the negative electrode of the cylindrical cell. Use tweezers or suitable tools to peel off the electrode and avoid damaging the active material layer. Next, cut the removed negative electrode into appropriate sizes and soak it in an anhydrous dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solution for 30 minutes to dissolve and remove residual electrolyte and possible by-products. After removing the electrode, gently wipe the surface with a dust-free wipe, then replace it with fresh DMC solution and repeat the soak-wipe process three times to ensure that there are no residual contaminants on the surface of the electrode. Subsequently, rinse the electrode with anhydrous ethanol and wipe it again to further remove the solvent and impurities. After cleaning, place the electrode in the glove box and let it stand for 48 hours to ensure that the electrode is completely dry to prevent subsequent testing from being interfered with by solvent residues. After drying, use a plastic scraper or blade to gently scrape the negative electrode active material layer of the electrode to ensure that the collected powder is not contaminated. The scraped powder is transferred to a centrifuge tube containing anhydrous ethanol and deionized water (v / v=1:1) and ultrasonically dispersed in an ultrasonic cleaner for 30 minutes to further remove possible residual electrolyte, binder and impurities. After ultrasonic treatment, the sample is centrifuged (the speed is set at 5000rpm for 2 minutes), the supernatant is discarded, and the powder is redispersed with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water (v / v=1:1), ultrasonicated again for 10 minutes, and then centrifuged again. Repeat this process three times to ensure the purity of the powder sample. Finally, the precipitate is collected and transferred to a vacuum drying oven and dried at 80°C for 12 hours to ensure complete removal of residual solvent.
[0139] The dried powder was placed in a sealed bag or sealed sample box, immediately taken out of the glove box, and the sample was quickly tested by XRD, Raman and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF).

[0145] 2. Raman measurement method: A 532nm laser was used as the excitation light source, with a laser power of 1-5mW to avoid sample ablation. The sample was evenly dispersed on a silicon substrate. Raman spectra were collected in the range of 500-1700cm⁻¹, with a spectral resolution of 1cm⁻¹, and 3-5 cumulative scans were performed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The instrument utilized an automated XYZ stage for precise focusing, and silicon wafer calibration (520.7cm⁻¹) was performed before testing to ensure data accuracy.
[0146] 3. Specific method for XRF determination of the mass percentage of silicon and carbon in the negative electrode active material: First, based on the possible content range of silicon and carbon in the material to be tested, select known standard samples (such as national standard materials) to establish standard calibration curves for silicon and carbon. Subsequently, use an XRF instrument to excite the sample under optimized excitation voltage, current, and filtering conditions, and record the intensity signals of the characteristic X-rays of silicon and carbon elements (such as SiKα and CKα). The characteristic X-ray intensities of silicon and carbon in the sample are compared with the standard curve to calculate the mass percentages of the two. To improve accuracy, matrix effect correction (such as the ZAF correction method) and background subtraction should be considered.
[0147] 4. Test method for the compaction density of the negative electrode: First, cut the negative electrode sheet that has been rinsed with dimethyl carbonate and vacuum dried into 6 square samples of standard size (2.0 cm × 2.0 cm); then, wipe off the active material on the front and back of 3 of the square samples, rinse with ethanol, dry, weigh, and calculate the average mass M1. At the same time, use a screw micrometer to measure the average thickness L1 of the sample; then, weigh the mass of the other 3 square samples and calculate the average mass M2. At the same time, measure the average thickness L2 of the sample, and calculate the thickness of the electrode sheet: L2-L1, unit: cm; calculate the compaction density of the electrode sheet: Unit: g / cm 3 .

[0168] The specific results are as follows:
[0169] 1. The experimental results of Examples 1 to 8 are shown in Table 1.
[0170] Table 1:
[0171]
[0172]
[0173] As shown in Table 1, it can be seen from the comparative examples 1 to 8 that I Si / I Gr When the value approaches 0.19, the 10C capacity retention rate (25℃) and 5C capacity retention rate (-40℃) of the lithium battery are the highest. Deviating from this value will lead to a decrease in the capacity retention rate. Si / I Gr 0.11-0.19 has the best technical effect.
[0174] In addition, when I Si / I Gr When the capacitance is >0.24, the capacity attenuation rate of the lithium battery increases significantly after 1000 cycles at 1C. This phenomenon is attributed to the coordinated effect of deposited silicon carbon and graphite forming a three-dimensional conductive network:
[0175] When I Si / I Gr When the ratio is <0.19, a high proportion of graphite and a small proportion of deposited silicon carbon play a complementary role. The high conductivity of graphite ensures the electron transmission channel, and its layered structure helps to buffer the stress generated during the charge and discharge process of the deposited silicon carbon and maintain structural stability. Nano-silicon has a short lithium ion diffusion path and excellent kinetic performance.
[0176] When I S i / I Gr When the silicon ratio is >0.19, it will significantly affect the continuity of the conductive network. Due to the low conductivity of silicon itself and the significant volume expansion effect, it is easy to cause mechanical stress accumulation and structural damage within the material, resulting in a significant increase in interfacial impedance during charge and discharge. In addition, side reactions on the silicon surface (such as the formation and rupture of the SEI film) will also exacerbate interfacial instability, further increasing internal resistance, especially at high rate and low temperature conditions.
[0177] When I Si / I Gr When the Si content is >0.24, the significant volume expansion effect and stress accumulation caused by the excessively high silicon content are further aggravated, leading to mechanical fracture and interface instability of the active material, and the cycle stability is significantly reduced.
[0178] 2. The experimental results of Examples 9 to 11 are shown in Table 2.
[0179] Table 2:
[0180]
[0181] Comparing Example 1 with Examples 9-11, it can be seen that the room-temperature rate performance and low-temperature rate performance of the lithium battery show a significant downward trend as the size of the deposited silicon carbon increases. This is attributed to the fact that the diffusion path of lithium ions within the deposited silicon carbon becomes longer, and its solid-phase diffusion internal resistance increases, thereby limiting the ability of lithium ions to quickly insert and extract. In particular, when the D value in Example 11 exceeds the range of 10.3 to 50.8, the room-temperature rate performance and low-temperature rate performance of the lithium battery are significantly reduced.
[0182] 3. The experimental results of Examples 12 to 14 are shown in Table 3.
[0183] Table 3:
[0184]
[0185]
[0186] By comparing Example 1 with Examples 12 and 13, it can be seen that the room temperature rate performance and low temperature rate performance of the lithium battery show a certain upward trend with the increase of the graphite interlayer spacing. This is attributed to the fact that the increase in the graphite interlayer spacing can effectively reduce the insertion and deintercalation energy barrier of lithium ions, thereby improving the diffusion rate and kinetic performance of lithium ions.
[0187] Comparing Example 1 with Examples 14 and 15, it can be seen that when the compaction of the negative electrode sheet is too high (1.65 g / cm 3), the room temperature and low temperature rate performance and cycle stability of lithium batteries have been greatly reduced. This is attributed to the fact that excessive compaction will significantly compress the pore structure of the electrode, reduce the permeability of the electrolyte and the number of effective ion channels, increase the pore impedance of the diffusion of lithium ions in the electrode, and seriously affect the rate performance; excessive compaction will also cause the silicon particles to break, and the solid electrolyte interface film will be significantly thickened during the cycle, thereby worsening the cycle performance.
[0188] 4. The experimental results of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are shown in Table 4.
[0189] Table 4:
[0190]
[0191] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1 to 3, it can be seen that when no deposited silicon carbon is added to the negative electrode active material, the size of the deposited silicon carbon is increased to 378 nm, and the compaction is as high as 1.75 g / cm3, the room temperature and low temperature rate performance of the lithium battery is greatly reduced.
[0192] These phenomena can be explained by the lack of synergistic effect of graphite and deposited silicon-carbon materials, which leads to limited specific capacity and lithium insertion kinetics; the increase in particle size prolongs the diffusion path of lithium ions inside silicon-carbon, while aggravating the conductive network breakage caused by volume expansion; the excessively high compaction density significantly increases the interfacial impedance and reduces the electrolyte permeability and structural stability.
[0193] In summary, the appropriate ratio of graphite and deposited silicon carbon, optimized deposited silicon carbon size, expanded graphite interlayer spacing and appropriate compaction are the keys to improving lithium ion rate performance and low temperature performance as well as balanced cycle performance.
