Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electrode material for a lithium-ion battery negative electrode, belonging to the technical field of new energy materials, and specifically to a method for preparing a morphology-controllable Fe3O4 / P-doped graphene oxide composite lithium-ion battery negative electrode material by a pH-controlled hydrolysis method. Background Art

[0002] With the growing demand for renewable energy, the importance of high-performance energy storage devices has become increasingly prominent. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used due to their high energy density and low cost. However, the low theoretical capacity of traditional graphite anode materials limits the improvement of energy density. Therefore, the research on transition metal oxides (TMOs) anode materials with high theoretical capacity and good safety has become a focus. Fe3O4, due to its high theoretical specific capacity (926mAh / g), abundant natural resources and low cost, is considered one of the potential candidates for lithium-ion battery anode materials.

[0003] Fe3O4 still faces numerous challenges and drawbacks in practical applications. First, Fe3O4 has low intrinsic conductivity, which results in slow electron transfer during charge and discharge, thus limiting its rate capability (i.e., its charge and discharge capability at high current densities). Low conductivity can exacerbate electrode polarization, reducing the battery's energy efficiency and power output. Second, during lithium ion insertion and deintercalation, Fe3O4 undergoes significant structural changes and volume expansion (approximately 200%). This volume expansion increases mechanical stress in the electrode material, leading to pulverization and shedding of the electrode material, compromising the integrity of the electrode structure. This not only reduces the battery's cycle life but can also lead to contact failure between the active material and the current collector, increasing the battery's internal resistance. Due to volume expansion and material pulverization, Fe3O4 electrodes experience rapid capacity decay after multiple charge and discharge cycles. Furthermore, Fe3O4 undergoes phase transitions and irreversible reactions during charge and discharge, resulting in loss of active material and a decrease in electrode performance. These issues severely limit the long-term stability of Fe3O4 in practical battery applications. GO is a two-dimensional carbon material whose layered structure consists of covalent carbon bonds, forming a continuous conjugated network, which gives it excellent mechanical strength and flexibility. This enables GO to effectively alleviate the volume expansion problem of Fe3O4. At the same time, GO also has excellent conductivity, which facilitates the rapid transfer of electrons. Its large surface area effectively promotes ion transport at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Previously, CN201610729938.6 prepared a lithium-ion battery anode material with an Fe3O4 / rGO sandwich structure. The combination of these two materials effectively suppressed the volume expansion and material pulverization of Fe3O4, significantly improving the electrochemical performance. However, this patent did not address the effects of the morphology and size of Fe3O4 particles and the distance between graphene layers on the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, developing a controllable preparation strategy for Fe3O4 nanoparticles with precise morphology and size control, and achieving efficient composite interface construction with the graphene matrix, has important research value for promoting the application of new electromagnetic functional materials in energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation and other fields. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems described in the background technology, the present invention provides a preparation method of Fe3O4 anchored P-doped graphene oxide composite material based on pH optimization. Ammonia water is used as a precipitant to provide OH - , adjust the pH value, add ferric chloride hexahydrate to introduce iron source, ammonia as a weak base will promote Fe 3+ Hydrolyze to ferric hydroxide. This process will affect the Fe in ferric chloride hexahydrate 3+The formation of nucleation centers affects the nucleation and growth of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is used as the phosphorus source for phosphorus doping. At high temperature, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate decomposes and releases phosphorus. In this process, phosphorus can enter the structure of graphene and form doping. Due to the atomic radius of phosphorus (P), the Larger than the atomic radius of carbon (C) Phosphorus doping can form PC bonds in graphene. The formation of these bonds leads to structural distortion of the hexagonal carbon frame, increasing the interlayer spacing, improving conductivity, and increasing the specific surface area. These factors work together to improve the electrochemical performance of the material. The amount of ammonia added plays a crucial role in the whole process, because Fe 3+ Under alkaline conditions, it will hydrolyze to form ferric hydroxide, which is the key factor in the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticle nucleation centers. The amount of ammonia can be controlled by the pH value. When the pH value is too low, Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ The hydrolysis reaction is not sufficient, which may lead to incomplete formation of Fe3O4 phase and the generation of undesirable Fe2O3 phase. In addition, the lower pH value slows down the nucleation rate and accelerates the crystal growth rate, which may cause the particle size to increase. However, when the pH value is too high, it may cause particle aggregation and precipitation because of excessive OH - Ions may give the particle surface a stronger negative charge, leading to increased repulsion between particles. At the same time, under extremely alkaline conditions, changes in the morphology and size distribution of Fe3O4 nanoparticles may be observed, such as from spherical to octahedral or needle-shaped. Finally, a pHx-Fe3O4 / PGO composite anode material was successfully prepared through an annealing process. Compared with the Fe3O4 / GO composite material without pH optimization and P doping, the prepared Fe3O4 / particle morphology is more regular, showing a uniform spherical shape and reaching the nanoscale (~340nm) in size. In addition, the successful doping of phosphorus increases the interlayer spacing of graphene (expanded by 108%), allowing the nanoscale Fe3O4 to be successfully anchored into the graphene sheets, which can better alleviate the volume expansion problem of Fe3O4.

[0005] The method comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: diluting the graphene oxide dispersion: diluting the graphene oxide dispersion by adding deionized water to obtain solution A;

[0007] Step 2: pH adjustment: add aqueous ammonia to solution A while adding dropwise while stirring to adjust the pH to different values ​​to obtain solution B;

[0008] Step 3, phosphorus doping process: adding ammonium dihydrogen phosphate to solution B to obtain solution C;

[0009] Step 4: Adding an iron source: Prepare ferric chloride hexahydrate solutions of different concentrations, slowly add them to solution C, and stir thoroughly to obtain solution D; then, under alkaline conditions, the ferric chloride hexahydrate reacts with the components in solution D to generate a Fe(OH)3 precursor;

[0010] Step 5. Preparation of a composite material of nano-sized ferroferric oxide particles anchored with phosphorus-doped graphene oxide: The obtained solution D is filtered to separate the solid product, and the solid powder is then dried and annealed in a tube furnace under an argon atmosphere. The obtained composite is ground, then washed several times with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, and dried for later use.

[0011] Furthermore, in the step 1, the graphene oxide aqueous solution is diluted to 0.2-0.8% wt., and is subjected to ultrasound and stirring for 1 hour each to fully disperse it.

[0012] Furthermore, in the step 2, ammonia water is added to the graphene oxide to adjust the pH value to different values ​​of 7-14.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 3, the amount of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate added is 1-10 wt.% of the mass fraction of the substances involved in the entire process.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 4, the concentration of ferric chloride hexahydrate is 50-200 mg / ml, and the stirring time is 12-24 hours.

[0015] Furthermore, in step five, the argon gas flow rate is 0.3-1.8 m / s, the tubular furnace heating rate is 1-15°C / min, the annealing temperature is set at 300-600°C, the holding time is 2-6h, the obtained composite is ground, and then washed several times with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, and dried for use.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses ammonia as a precipitant to provide OH - , thereby promoting Fe 3+ Hydrolyze to ferric hydroxide. Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is used as a doping phosphorus source. The addition of ammonia water will affect the Fe content in ferric chloride hexahydrate. 3+The pHx-Fe3O4 / PGO composite material finally prepared by the present invention provides a new means for Fe3O4-based lithium-ion batteries. It not only solves the problem that the particles cannot be successfully anchored between the layers due to the small interlayer spacing of graphene oxide, but are instead aggregated on the surface, but also solves the volume expansion problem caused by the uneven morphology and size of the particles of ferroferric oxide, significantly improving the electrochemical stability of the material as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries, and promoting the further development of research and industrialization of nanomaterials in the fields of electronic devices.
