Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery negative electrode materials, and in particular to a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity, a preparation method thereof, and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. As one of the core components of lithium-ion batteries, the performance of the negative electrode material directly affects the overall performance of the battery. Although the widely used graphite negative electrode material has good cycle stability and cost advantages, its theoretical specific capacity is only 372mAh / g, which is difficult to meet the growing demand for high energy density. In contrast, silicon (Si) material is regarded as an ideal choice for the next generation of high-energy-density lithium-ion battery negative electrode material due to its theoretical specific capacity of up to 4200mAh / g and abundant natural resource reserves. However, silicon material will produce a volume expansion of about 300% during the charge and discharge process. This characteristic can easily lead to material pulverization, electrode structure damage, and electrical contact failure, which seriously affects the cycle life and rate performance of the battery.
[0003] To effectively address the volume expansion problem of silicon materials, academia and industry have proposed a variety of solutions, among which silicon-carbon composites show significant application prospects. Carbon materials, due to their excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical stability, can not only effectively buffer the volume changes of silicon, but also significantly improve the electrical conductivity of electrodes. However, existing silicon-carbon composites still face the following technical bottlenecks: the interface between silicon and carbon is not firmly bonded, resulting in the shedding of silicon particles during cycling; the material structure design is unreasonable, making it impossible to fully utilize the high capacity characteristics of silicon; and the preparation process is complex, making large-scale production difficult.
[0004] In recent years, mesoporous materials have attracted much attention due to their high specific surface area, adjustable pore size distribution, and excellent structural stability. Introducing mesoporous structures into silicon-carbon composites can not only effectively alleviate the volume expansion effect of silicon, but also provide more channels for lithium ion transmission, thereby improving the material's cycle stability and rate performance. Although studies have attempted to apply mesoporous structures to silicon-carbon composites, the following technical challenges still exist: the composite material has low ionic conductivity and an uneven mesoporous structure, resulting in unstable performance; the distribution of silicon and carbon is uneven, affecting the overall performance of the material; the preparation process is complex and the cost is high, making it difficult to achieve industrial production. Solving these problems is of great significance for promoting the practical application of silicon-carbon composites.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0066] The present invention provides a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity. By adding a solid electrolyte material to an ordered mesoporous carbon matrix, it has a high lithium ion conductivity and can significantly improve the ion transmission efficiency in the porous carbon. Because after the solid electrolyte fills the pores of the porous carbon, a continuous ion transmission channel is formed, the ion transmission path is shortened, the ion transmission rate is increased, and the rate performance is further improved, which has a good prospect for application in the field of all-solid-state batteries. In addition, the present invention provides a method for preparing a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity.

The meaning and scope of the terms should be clear; however, in the event of any potential ambiguity, the definitions provided herein take precedence over any dictionary or external definitions. In this application, the use of "or" means "and / or" unless otherwise stated. In addition, the use of the term "including" and other forms is non-limiting.
[0071] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0072] The first aspect of the present invention provides a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity, comprising: an ordered mesoporous carbon matrix, a silicon material and a solid electrolyte material; the silicon material is evenly distributed in the mesopores of the ordered mesoporous carbon matrix; the solid electrolyte material is arranged on the surface of the ordered mesoporous carbon matrix or doped inside the ordered mesoporous carbon matrix.
[0073] Since silicon has low ionic conductivity and its structure results in a poor Li+ transmission path, a solid electrolyte is added in the present invention to increase ionic conductivity. The solid electrolyte is doped inside or on the surface of the mesoporous carbon matrix, and silicon is uniformly deposited on the inner wall of the orderly distributed mesopores.
[0074] In an optional embodiment, the pore volume of the ordered mesoporous carbon matrix is 0.01 to 2 cm 3 / g, for example, it can be 0.01cm 3 / g, 0.1cm 3 / g, 0.5cm 3 / g, 1cm 3 / g, 1.5cm 3 / g, 2cm 3 / g, etc., more preferably 0.6 to 1.1 cm 3 / g, for example, it can be 0.6cm 3 / g, 0.7cm 3 / g, 0.8cm 3 / g, 0.9cm 3 / g, 1.0cm 3 / g, 1.1cm 3 / g etc.;
[0075] The median particle size (d V,50) is 5 to 20 μm, for example, 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 14 μm, 16 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, etc.; more preferably, it is 6 to 12 μm, for example, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, etc.;
[0076] The diameter pitch of the ordered mesoporous carbon matrix is 0.8 to 2.0, for example, it can be 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, etc.; more preferably, it is 0.8 to 1.2, for example, it can be 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc.

The purpose of P / P0>0.75 less than 15% is to limit the proportion of pores 10nm. Macropores store electrolyte but have a low contribution to Li+ transport. Local enrichment of electrolyte leads to concentration polarization. On the other hand, a high proportion of macropores increases stress concentration points during material cycling, leading to structural collapse caused by volume change. The proportion of macropores in mesoporous carbon is less than 3%, which significantly improves rate performance by shortening ion paths, enhancing structural stability, and optimizing electronic conduction.

[0132] In the present invention, the method for preparing the silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity comprises the following steps:
[0133] (1) Preparation of carbon source: A certain proportion of aldehyde, phenol and catalyst are dispersed in water, and a uniform phenolic resin mixture is prepared at 40-100°C. The mixture is then distilled under reduced pressure to remove excess water to obtain phenolic resin (i.e., carbon source).
[0134] (2) Preparation of the precursor: Stirring the template agent, carbon source, solvent, and solid electrolyte material at 30-70° C. for 0.5-24 hours to obtain a uniform mixed solution;
[0135] (3) A certain amount of precursor agent, silicone oil, and heat transfer oil are stirred in a container for 2 to 48 hours, and then solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain particles;
[0136] (4) placing the above particles into a tube furnace and sequentially performing curing treatment, carbonization treatment and activation treatment to obtain an ordered mesoporous carbon matrix;
[0137] (5) Silicon is deposited on the ordered mesoporous carbon matrix using vapor deposition to obtain a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity.
[0138] The third aspect of the present invention provides a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity or a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity prepared by a method for preparing a silicon-carbon negative electrode material with high ionic conductivity, and its application in preparing battery negative electrodes, especially lithium batteries.
[0139] The silicon-carbon anode material provided by the present invention addresses existing issues such as silicon volume expansion, weak interfacial bonding, and complex preparation processes by optimizing the material's structural design and preparation process. The silicon-carbon anode material of the present invention has the following advantages: a uniform mesoporous structure that effectively mitigates silicon volume expansion; a close bond between silicon and carbon that improves the material's cyclic stability; a simplified preparation process that reduces production costs and facilitates industrialization; and high ionic conductivity, making it suitable for applications in all-solid-state and semi-solid-state batteries.
[0140] In the present invention, ordered mesoporous carbon provides more active sites and faster ion transport channels than microporous carbon. Its high conductivity and structural stability also enhance electronic conduction and cycling stability. Good interfacial compatibility also helps form a stable SEI film, reducing side reactions and thus improving overall battery performance. Mesoporous carbon materials can effectively mitigate volume changes during charge and discharge, reducing pulverization and shedding of electrode materials and extending battery life.
[0141] The solid electrolyte (such as LATP) in the present invention has a high lithium ion conductivity (usually 10 -4 to 10 -3 S / cm range), can significantly improve the ion transport efficiency in porous carbon. This is because after the solid electrolyte fills the pores of the porous carbon, a continuous ion transport channel is formed, shortening the ion transport path, increasing the ion transport rate, and further improving the rate performance, which has good prospects for application in the field of all-solid-state batteries.
[0142] The present invention is further described below by way of examples. Unless otherwise specified, the materials in the examples were prepared according to existing methods or directly purchased from the market.

[0203] In step (2), no solid electrolyte material is added, and the remaining steps are consistent with those in Example 3.
[0204] Test Case
[0205] Electrode, half-cell preparation and electrochemical performance testing:
[0206] The silicon-based composite materials prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were used as negative electrode active materials to prepare negative electrode sheets. The negative electrode sheets were used to prepare CR2032 button batteries using conventional methods, and the batteries were tested for electrical performance. The specific testing methods are as follows:
[0207] (1) Half-cell assembly: CR2032 button cells were assembled in a glove box, with a lithium metal sheet as the counter electrode, a polypropylene microporous membrane as the separator, and the electrolyte being a mixture of LiPF6 dissolved in ethyl carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) (volume ratio EC:DEC = 1:1), where the LiPF6 concentration was 1 mol / L.
[0208] The battery was tested for charge and discharge using the LAND battery testing system.
[0209] (2) Cyclic gram capacity and first efficiency test: After the CR2032 battery is uncharged and left to stand for 6 hours, it is discharged at 0.1C to 0.005V, and the capacity is recorded as Q1; then it is discharged at a constant voltage of 0.005V until the current reaches 0.01C and then cut off; after standing for 5 minutes, it is charged at a constant current of 0.1C to 1.5V; the first delithiation gram capacity is the gram capacity (or mass specific capacity) of the electrode material, and the ratio of the first delithiation capacity to the first lithium insertion capacity is the first coulombic efficiency of the battery.
[0210] (3) Capacity retention test: After standing for 5 minutes, repeat the above charge and discharge steps twice; select 3 button batteries and discharge them to 0.05V at 0.1C. After standing for 2 hours, disassemble and measure the thickness of the negative electrode in turn, and record the average value as h1. Then discharge the remaining 3 button batteries to 0.005V at 0.25C; after standing for 5 minutes, charge them to 1.5V at 0.25C constant current, and cycle 50 times. The gram capacity retention rate is calculated by dividing the charge capacity of the 50th cycle by the charge capacity of the 1st cycle × 100%, and disassemble to obtain the average expansion thickness after 50 cycles as h2. The full charge expansion ratio = (h2-h1) / h1×100%.
[0211] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0212] Table 1
[0213]
[0214] It can be seen from Table 1 that when the data of the mesoporous carbon matrix are not much different, the rate performance of the material becomes better with the increase of the amount of electrolyte added, and Example 5 is the optimal data; when the carbon source is within a certain phenol / aldehyde ratio range (0.6-1.3), a suitable carbon source can be obtained to meet the self-assembly of the template agent and form an ordered mesoporous channel; when the template agent exceeds the appropriate ratio, what is obtained is basically a non-porous solid carbon material, and it is meaningless to discuss the rate and first effect of silicon carbon at this time.
[0215] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
