Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application No. 202280058225.5, with the title of "Cathode material, secondary battery and electronic device", filed on September 30, 2022. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of energy storage, in particular to a cathode material, a secondary battery and an electronic device. BACKGROUND
[0003] With electrochemical devices such as lithium ion batteries becoming widely used energy systems, there are more and more sub-directions, one of which is fast charging and discharging application. Therefore, the development of energy systems with superior charging and discharging performance is crucial for their large-scale application in transportation, power grid, wind and solar systems.
[0004] However, fast charging and discharging can cause some problems. For example, when lithium ion batteries are charged and discharged at a large rate, the temperature rises rapidly during the charging and discharging process due to the existence of the internal resistance of the battery itself. This causes the battery to be in a high temperature environment, which greatly damages its cycle and safety performance. Therefore, there is a great demand for batteries with small internal resistance in the consumer market, and the development of batteries with small internal resistance is needed. The existing technology improves the battery impedance mainly by reducing the coating thickness of the electrode sheet and reducing the particle size of the negative active material, but this method will significantly reduce the energy density of the battery, reduce the endurance of the battery, and the cost is high. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a negative electrode material with low internal resistance and other moderate performance. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a cathode material and a secondary battery comprising the same to improve the kinetic performance of the cathode material, thereby reducing the internal resistance of the secondary battery and improving the comprehensive performance of the secondary battery.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a cathode material comprising a carbon-based material, wherein the X-ray diffraction spectrum of the cathode material has a diffraction peak a in the range of 43° to 44° and a diffraction peak b in the range of 45° to 47° by X-ray diffraction method, wherein the peak intensity of the diffraction peak a is I a , and the peak intensity of the diffraction peak b is I b , I a / I b>1. The diffraction peak a and the diffraction peak b of the negative electrode material are related to the rhombohedral (3R) graphene layer stacking sequence in graphite. The diffraction peak a and the diffraction peak b appear in the negative electrode material of the application, and the peak intensity of the diffraction peak a is higher than that of the diffraction peak b, which represents the formation of unstable orthorhombic structure in the graphite, which can more easily deintercalate lithium, thereby reducing the internal resistance of the battery. In some embodiments, 2≤I a / I b ≤6.
[0007] In some embodiments, 400≤I a ≤2500. In some embodiments, 0≤I b ≤600.
[0008] In some embodiments, the ratio of the 004 crystal face diffraction peak area C004 to the 110 crystal face diffraction peak area C110 of the negative electrode material satisfies 1≤C004 / C110≤4 by X-ray diffraction method test. The ratio of C004 / C110 is a parameter reflecting the degree of crystal orientation of the negative electrode material. The larger the value of C004 / C110, the higher the degree of crystal orientation, and the more limited the deintercalation of active ions in the negative electrode material. The smaller the value of C004 / C110, the lower the degree of crystal orientation, and the more deintercalation of active ions in multiple directions of the negative electrode material. The C004 / C110 of the negative electrode material of the application is within the above range, and the active ions can be quickly deintercalated in the negative electrode material, thereby further improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery. In some embodiments, 1≤C004 / C110≤3.
[0009] In some embodiments, the average stacking thickness of the negative electrode material along the a-axis direction is La, and 100nm≤La≤160nm by X-ray diffraction method test. In some embodiments, the average stacking thickness of the negative electrode material along the c-axis direction is Lc, and 18nm≤Lc≤30nm by X-ray diffraction method test. La represents the average size of the negative electrode material crystal along the a-axis direction, and Lc represents the thickness of the microcrystalline sheet of the negative electrode material along the c-axis direction perpendicular to it. The values of La and Lc can represent the degree of graphitization of the negative electrode material. The larger the values of La and Lc, the higher the gravimetric capacity of the negative electrode material. However, when the values of Lc and La are too high, although the gravimetric capacity of the negative electrode material increases, its cycle performance decreases. The values of Lc and La of the negative electrode material of the application are within the above range, and the negative electrode material has high gravimetric capacity while the cycle performance does not decrease significantly. In some embodiments, 110nm≤La≤160nm. In some embodiments, 20nm≤Lc≤30nm.
[0010] In some embodiments, the Dn10 of the negative electrode material is ≥ 0.4 μm. The Dn10 can characterize the content of fine powder in the negative electrode material, and the smaller the value, the more fine powder in the negative electrode material. When the content of fine powder is too high, the negative electrode material will consume more lithium ions during the first lithium intercalation process, thereby reducing the initial efficiency. In some embodiments, the Dn10 of the negative electrode material is ≥ 0.5 μm.
[0011] In some embodiments, the Dv10 and Dv90 of the negative electrode material satisfy: 5 ≤ Dv90 / Dv10 ≤ 25. Dv90 / Dv10 represents the concentration of the particle size distribution of the negative electrode material, and the larger the value, the more dispersed the particle size distribution of the material, and vice versa. When the volume fraction of the negative electrode material is the same, the larger the particle size, the wider the distribution, and the smaller the viscosity of the negative electrode slurry, thereby increasing the solid content and reducing the coating difficulty. At the same time, when the particle size distribution is wide, small particles can fill the voids of large particles, which helps to increase the compaction density of the electrode sheet and improve the volume energy density of the secondary battery. In addition, the particle morphology also has a great influence on the rate performance and low temperature performance of the secondary battery. The Dv90 / Dv10 of the negative electrode material of the present application is within the above range, and the secondary battery including the negative electrode material has high energy density, and the electrical properties such as rate performance and low temperature performance are not reduced. In some embodiments, 5 ≤ Dv90 / Dv10 ≤ 15.
[0012] In some embodiments, the Dv90 of the negative electrode material is 30 μm to 65 μm. In some embodiments, the Dv10 of the negative electrode material is 2 μm to 8 μm. The particle size of the negative electrode material is too large, which will make the slurry processing performance worse, and too small will reduce the initial efficiency. In some embodiments, the Dv90 is 30 μm to 60 μm. In some embodiments, the Dv10 is 3 μm to 7 μm.
[0013] In some embodiments, the 5t powder compaction density of the negative electrode material is C, and 1.5 g / cm 3 ≤ C ≤ 2.5 g / cm 3 The powder compaction density represents the degree to which the negative electrode material can be compressed during pressing, and the larger the value, the more it can be compressed during pressing, and the higher the volume energy density of the secondary battery. The powder compaction density of the negative electrode material of the present application is within the above range, and the secondary battery including the negative electrode material has high energy density. In some embodiments, 1.8 g / cm 3 ≤ C ≤ 2.1 g / cm 3 .

[0015] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the graphite composite includes: simultaneously dissolving one or more of the natural graphite and the artificial graphite in N-N dimethylformamide (DMF) with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), stirring at a temperature of 50-80°C for 10-14 hours, collecting the precipitate by filtration, washing with deionized water and ethanol for 2-4 times, and completely drying at a temperature of 60-90°C to obtain a graphite composite precursor; heating the graphite composite precursor in a tube furnace at a heating rate of 8-16°C / min to 1000-1200°C, then introducing CH4 / C2H2 / H2 mixed gas (proportions of 5-10:5-10:80-85, respectively) into the tube furnace, maintaining for 8-12 hours, and then naturally cooling to room temperature, thereby obtaining the graphite composite.
[0016] In some embodiments, the spheroidization treatment process includes: applying continuous impact force, compression force, and shearing force from the rotating disc, the inner wall, and the particles to the mixture containing the graphite composite and the dispersant solution, so that the graphite composite is spheroidized. In some embodiments, the spheroidization time is 10-20 minutes. In some embodiments, the impact force, compression force, and shearing force are applied to the mixture by using a spheroidization device, so that the mixture is subjected to collision, friction, shearing, and bending folding, thereby removing the corners of the graphite composite while achieving the effect of fixing the fine powder to the large particles. In some embodiments, the spheroidization device is a mixer granulator. In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the spheroidization device is 30-50 Hz. In some embodiments, the dispersant solution is an aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). In some embodiments, the mass content of carboxymethyl cellulose in the dispersant solution is 0.5-2%. In some embodiments, the mass content of the dispersant solution based on the mass of the graphite composite is 5-20%.
[0017] In some embodiments, the coating treatment process includes: using pitch to coat the spheroidized graphite composite. In some embodiments, the mass content of the pitch based on the mass of the spheroidized graphite composite is 2-15%. In some embodiments, the carbonization treatment temperature is 900-1500°C.

In some embodiments, the electrically conductive coating layer comprises at least one of carbon fiber, Ketjen black, acetylene black, carbon nanotube and graphene. The electrically conductive coating layer can play a role in conducting electrons, and the charge transfer impedance is significantly reduced, thereby further improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery. In some embodiments, the thickness of the electrically conductive coating layer is 0.5 μm to 1.2 μm.
[0020] In a third aspect, the present application provides an electronic device comprising the secondary battery of the second aspect.
[0021] The present application helps to reduce the particle size of the graphite material by spheroidizing, coating and carbonizing the graphite material, converting the irregular morphology into a regular spherical morphology, thereby significantly improving the kinetic performance of the negative electrode material, further reducing the internal resistance of the secondary battery, and improving the comprehensive performance of the secondary battery.

The diffraction peak a and the diffraction peak b of the negative electrode material are related to the rhombohedral (3R) graphene layer stacking sequence in graphite. The appearance of the diffraction peak a and the diffraction peak b in the negative electrode material of the present application, and the peak intensity of the diffraction peak a being higher than the peak intensity of the diffraction peak b, represent that there is a rhombohedron structure in the formed graphite, which can more easily perform lithium deintercalation and has a higher gravimetric capacity. In some embodiments, I a / I b is 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 3.0, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 4.0, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7, 5.0, 5.3, 5.5, 5.7, 5.9, or a range consisting of any two of these values.

[0032] In some embodiments, the ratio of the 004 crystal plane diffraction peak area C004 to the 110 crystal plane diffraction peak area C110 of the negative electrode material satisfies 1 < C004 / C110 < 4, as tested by X-ray diffraction. The ratio of C004 / C110 is a parameter reflecting the degree of crystal orientation of the negative electrode material. The larger the value of C004 / C110, the higher the degree of crystal orientation, and the more limited the surface of active ions deintercalation in the negative electrode material. The smaller the value of C004 / C110, the lower the degree of crystal orientation, and the more directions of active ions deintercalation in the negative electrode material. The C004 / C110 of the negative electrode material of the present application is within the above range, and the active ions can be quickly deintercalated in the negative electrode material, thereby further improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

At the same time, when the particle size distribution is wide, small particles can fill the voids of large particles, which helps to increase the compaction density of the electrode sheet and improve the volume energy density of the secondary battery. In addition, the particle morphology also has a great influence on the rate performance and low temperature performance of the secondary battery. The Dv90 / Dv10 of the negative electrode material in the present application is within the above range, and the secondary battery including the negative electrode material has high energy density, and the electrical properties such as rate performance and low temperature performance are not reduced.

When the negative electrode material satisfies 5≤Dv90 / Dv10≤15, the Dv90 is 30 μm to 60 μm, and the Dv10 is 2 μm to 8 μm, the impedance DCR of the lithium ion battery is also improved to a certain extent.
