Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical energy storage, and relates to a silicon-carbon negative electrode pre-lithiation method using magnetron sputtering technology and its application. Background Art
[0002] Silicon-carbon anodes, due to their extremely high theoretical specific capacity and abundant resource reserves, have become potential anode materials for next-generation high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. However, a key challenge facing their application is the high initial irreversible capacity. This high initial irreversible capacity is primarily due to the formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and the occurrence of interfacial side reactions during the initial charge and discharge cycles of the silicon-carbon anode, processes that consume a large amount of lithium ions. Furthermore, silicon expands by up to 300% during lithium insertion and removal, further rendering some lithium unrecyclable. These factors result in the initial coulombic efficiency of silicon-carbon anodes being significantly lower than that of traditional graphite anodes, typically below 90%. This severely limits the battery's capacity compatibility and energy density, and thus impacts the actual performance of the entire battery. To address this issue, pre-lithiation technology has emerged as an indispensable solution. By pre-introducing lithium ions during the anode manufacturing process, pre-lithiation can effectively compensate for the lithium consumed by SEI formation and side reactions during the first cycle, significantly improving the initial coulombic efficiency to over 95%. This not only optimizes the lithium ion balance between the positive and negative electrodes and increases the battery's energy density, but also reduces side reactions in subsequent cycles and improves long-term cycle performance. At the same time, pre-lithiation can enhance the structural stability of the silicon-carbon negative electrode by optimizing the surface state, thereby extending the battery's life.
[0003] However, the existing process for pre-lithiation of the negative electrode has problems such as low uniformity, low first coulombic efficiency, weak process controllability and consistency.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the silicon-carbon negative electrode pre-lithiation method and application based on magnetron sputtering technology of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the relevant technologies in the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] The method for preparing a silicon-carbon negative electrode by magnetron sputtering pre-lithiation in this embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0027] Step 1: Prepare a negative electrode slurry using a silicon-carbon negative electrode as the active material using the following component ratios: a 90:5:5 mass ratio of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material to the conductive additive and polymer binder; and a 5-50:95-50 mass ratio of the polymer binder to the polyvinyl alcohol mixture. Stir the above materials in deionized water for 12 hours to form a uniform slurry, which is then coated onto a copper foil current collector, dried using hot air at 120°C for 30 minutes, and then rolled using a double-roller to a thickness of approximately 50 μm.
[0028] Step 2. Parameter configuration of magnetron sputtering equipment: Use a winding magnetron reactive sputtering equipment, which includes: a vacuum chamber with an ultimate vacuum degree of ≤5×10-4Pa; a negative electrode clamping system that can move during the sputtering process to achieve uniform deposition; two sets of target positions, each equipped with a metal lithium target (99.9%) and an interface layer target (such as LiF or Li3N); a control system that can adjust key process parameters such as gas pressure, power, and bias.
[0029] Step 3: Pre-lithiation layer deposition process: Place the dried negative electrode sheet into the sputtering chamber and perform the following steps: vacuum to 5.0×10 -4Pa, high-purity Ar gas (99.999%) was introduced to maintain the pressure at about 0.5 Pa; the power density of lithium target magnetron sputtering was 0.8 W / cm 2 (DC), target-substrate distance: 100 mm, sputtering time: 10-30 min (corresponding to a lithium layer thickness of approximately 200-800 nm). The resulting metallic lithium is uniformly deposited on the silicon-carbon surface, forming a pre-lithiation layer of controllable thickness.
[0030] Step 4: Artificial interface layer deposition process: Without changing the vacuum conditions, switch the target material to LiF and continue sputtering the LiF ceramic target. The power density is 1.0W / cm 2 (RF), sputtering atmosphere: Ar / O2 mixed gas (volume ratio 95:5), total pressure 0.8 Pa; sputtering time: 3-10 minutes, resulting in an interfacial layer thickness of 10-50 nm. This interfacial layer serves as a SEI film and also inhibits subsequent electrolyte decomposition reactions.
[0031] Step 5: After the deposition is completed, turn off the power and cool to room temperature. Take out the negative electrode sheet under an inert atmosphere (argon) and seal it in a vacuum sealed bag for storage.
[0032] Step 6: Prepare a liquid electrolyte, wherein the lithium salt is one or more of lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, and lithium hexafluorophosphate; the solvent is a mixture of equal volumes of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate; the additive is fluoroethylene carbonate, and the lithium salt concentration of the electrolyte is 1 to 4 mol / L.
[0033] Step 7: Assemble the pre-lithiated negative electrode, the lithium metal counter electrode, and the liquid electrolyte into a battery, and test its electrochemical performance at room temperature.
[0034] Step 8: Stir and disperse one of the positive electrode materials, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel aluminum cobalt oxide or lithium-rich manganese-based materials, Super-P conductive agent and polyvinylidene fluoride in a solvent at a mass ratio of 90:5:5 to form a positive electrode slurry with a viscosity of 1 Pa·s to 10 Pa·s. The positive electrode slurry is scraped onto the surface of the aluminum foil substrate, and after drying, it is rolled to prepare a positive electrode sheet. The prepared positive electrode surface loading is 1 to 5 mAh / cm 2 The pre-lithiated negative electrode, positive electrode and liquid electrolyte were assembled into a battery, and its electrochemical performance was tested at room temperature.
[0035] Step 9: Using a static pressure of 200-400 MPa, the solid electrolyte is a sulfide solid electrolyte Li2S-P2S5, Li 10 GeP2S 12 ,Li7P3S 11The pre-lithiated anode, cathode, and solid electrolyte were assembled into a solid-state battery, and the electrochemical performance was tested at room temperature.
[0036] The present invention forms a pre-lithiation layer with stable structure and continuous interface by sputtering metallic lithium target and functional interface layer target on the surface of silicon-carbon negative electrode in sequence, which effectively compensates for the irreversible capacity loss of negative electrode material during the first charge and discharge process, and significantly improves the first coulombic efficiency and cycle stability of silicon-carbon negative electrode.
[0037] By using a magnetron sputtering process to deposit the lithium layer and the interface layer in situ in a controllable manner, the present invention overcomes the common problems of uneven distribution, violent reaction, and unstable structure in existing pre-lithiation methods, ensuring good physical adhesion and chemical interface coordination between the lithium layer and the silicon-carbon substrate, and improving the overall consistency and electrochemical performance of the electrode.
[0038] The magnetron reactive sputtering process adopted in the present invention has good scalability and industrial adaptability, is suitable for continuous winding deposition, and can be widely used in the electrode pretreatment links of lithium-ion batteries and solid-state batteries, realizing a smooth transition from laboratory scale to industrial scale.
[0039] Compared with the traditional chemical contact pre-lithiation method, the present invention avoids the use of flammable organic solvents and highly active lithium sources while achieving the pre-lithiation goal, improves process safety, has higher environmental friendliness and operational convenience, and is suitable for large-scale green manufacturing.
[0040] Therefore, the method described in the present invention not only improves the initial performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode, but also provides a feasible and reliable technical path for the industrial production of high-energy density and long cycle life lithium batteries, and has broad application prospects and market promotion value.
