Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery materials, and particularly relates to an ultraviolet light curing type silicon-carbon negative electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery mainly includes carbon materials and non-carbon materials, and the commercialized lithium ion battery mainly uses graphite as the negative electrode material, and the theoretical specific capacity of the graphite is 372 mAh / g. In the non-carbon materials, the silicon-based negative electrode material is concerned due to the high theoretical specific capacity (4200 mAh / g), and with the progress of science and technology, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is gradually developed.

[0003] However, in the actual application process, it is found that although the silicon-carbon negative electrode material has obvious advantages in specific capacity, it has poor compatibility with conventional binders, resulting in poor adhesion of the coated silicon-carbon negative electrode material to the current collector, and the coating is easy to fall off and crack. In the prior art, although the synergistic effect of some curing agents, binders and dispersants such as sodium alginate, polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) can cross-link the entire negative electrode material together, this method can strengthen the electrolyte infiltration of the negative electrode sheet (the negative electrode carbon material often has poor electrolyte infiltration), but it also affects the migration speed of lithium ions in the main solvent of the electrolyte, increases the battery impedance, and although the temperature can promote the cross-linking speed of PAA, CMC and SBR with silicon-carbon particles, the cross-linking is often not completed during formation, and it needs to be cycled several times, which will cause water to continue to be generated during the later cross-linking process, and then a side reaction with the electrolyte, affecting the battery cycle. And PAA, PAA-Li and other materials have high rigidity, which can effectively inhibit the volume expansion of silicon in the silicon-carbon negative electrode material to a certain extent, but self-polymerization reaction is easy to occur during homogenization or drying. This self-polymerization reaction will generate polymers with higher molecular weight, making the electrode sheet exhibit high brittleness in macroscopic view. This brittleness makes the electrode sheet prone to cracking or falling off during the processing or battery manufacturing process due to external force. These phenomena not only affect the production efficiency of the battery, but more importantly, they will reduce the capacity and cycle life of the battery.

[0004] In addition, the existing electrode sheet preparation process has many steps and complex condition control, which is easy to cause inconsistency of material performance, thereby affecting the stability and overall electrochemical performance of the battery, and may increase the production cost and difficulty, limiting its industrial application. Therefore, the preparation process of the existing silicon-carbon negative electrode material still needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0042] The crosslinking agent is selected from polyethylene glycol diacrylate with a molecular weight of 575, but is not limited to this; polyethylene glycol diacrylate is used for better crosslinking of the polymer monomer;

[0043] The solvent is selected from N,N-dimethylformamide, but is not limited to this, and other solvents that can uniformly disperse the above-mentioned raw materials can also be used; wherein, N,N-dimethylformamide is commonly used as a solvent for lithium ion batteries, which helps to improve the migration rate of lithium ions;

[0044] The silicon-carbon powder can be selected from the product of C ONE-SC 1800 sold by Carbon New Energy Group Co., Ltd., but is not limited to this, and other commercially available silicon-carbon sources can also be used;

[0045] The porous material is selected from a porous hydrogen-bonded organic framework material. Specifically, the preparation method of the porous material comprises the following steps: 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride and dicyanediamine are mixed and added into N,N-dimethylformamide and ethylene glycol to obtain a reaction solution; the reaction solution is heated to 180-220 DEG C for reaction, the obtained product is filtered, and washing and drying treatment are performed to obtain the porous material.

[0079] (2) Add 138.9 mg of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) to the above ball mill tank, and ball mill at a speed of 200 rpm for 2 h.

[0080] (3) Add 1.25 mL of deionized water to the above ball mill tank, and ball mill at a speed of 300 rpm for 1 h.

[0081] (4) Take out the ball mill tank, dry it in a vacuum drying oven for 1 min to remove bubbles, then put the slurry into a glass bottle with a magnet and stir for 1 min to prevent sedimentation and uneven distribution of the slurry. Coat the slurry on the surface of a copper foil to obtain an electrode sheet.

[0082] (5) Finally, dry the electrode sheet in a 60°C oven for 12 h to obtain a binder-type silicon-carbon negative electrode.

[0083] Performance test and characterization: I. Take a scanning electron microscope of the ultraviolet light-cured silicon-carbon negative electrode obtained in Example 1, and use a JEOL JSM-6700F scanning electron microscope to obtain a 5000x surface scanning electron microscope image as shown in Figure 2 . As can be seen from Figure 2 , the silicon-carbon negative electrode is covered by the porous hydrogen-bonded organic framework material through the wrapping of butyl acrylate, which plays a buffering role in volume expansion and can prevent the electrolyte from entering and generating excessive side reactions.

[0084] II. Battery cycle performance test: Assemble lithium ion batteries to compare the first charge performance of the ultraviolet light-cured silicon-carbon negative electrode of Comparative Example 2 and the binder-type silicon-carbon negative electrode of Comparative Example 1 at 25°C, and the results are shown in Figure 3 . It is found that the ultraviolet light-cured silicon-carbon negative electrode prepared in the present application has a higher first efficiency because the elastic butyl acrylate can encapsulate irregularly shaped silicon-carbon particles within the electrode structure, effectively buffering the volume expansion of silicon elements during battery cycling. Compared with the silicon-carbon negative electrode prepared using a traditional binder, the lithium ion battery using the ultraviolet light-cured silicon-carbon negative electrode has a higher first cycle coulombic efficiency, reaching 88.45%.

[0085] Meanwhile, compared with existing polymerization reactions, the use of photoinitiators and photopolymerization steps in the embodiments of the present invention may reduce chemical waste emissions during the preparation process and improve the environmental friendliness of the process; and the preparation process is more energy-efficient and greener. By using specific photosensitizer responses and molecular templates to limit the polymerization reaction, the thickness and performance of the electrodes can be precisely controlled, and the material properties can be customized.

[0086] In summary, the preparation process of the UV-curable silicon-carbon anode provided in this invention consists of three stages: the first stage is slurry defoaming, the second stage is UV polymerization, and the third stage is gradient drying to remove solvents and moisture. In the first stage, a vacuum oven is used to create a vacuum without heating. In this vacuum environment, air introduced into the slurry due to prolonged stirring can be expelled, resulting in a uniform and smooth coating. The absence of heating prevents excessively high temperatures from causing partial cross-linking of the polymer monomers, which could lead to uneven coating and cracks. In the second stage, UV irradiation allows the photoinitiator in the slurry to rapidly catalyze cross-linking of the polymer monomers, enabling the polymer to fully encapsulate irregularly shaped silicon-carbon particles within the electrode structure. If the irradiation time is too short, the polymer cannot fully cross-link, leading to the volatilization of uncross-linked polymer during subsequent drying and resulting in coating cracks. If the irradiation time is too long, the intense UV light can cause polymer aging, affecting the polymer's elasticity and the degree of coating on the electrode, thus impacting subsequent battery performance. The third stage involves gradient temperature drying to remove solvents and moisture from the coating. Initial low-temperature drying allows the coating to form a crack-free surface with high mechanical strength, suppressing the stress caused by subsequent high-temperature drying. However, if the drying temperature is too low or the drying time is too short, the surface-forming dry film will not protect the coating; if the temperature is too high, the drying rate will be too fast, leading to cracks on the coating surface. The subsequent high-temperature drying after the low-temperature drying allows for further evaporation of solvents and moisture from the coating. If the subsequent drying temperature is too low or the drying time is too short, the removal of solvents and moisture will be insufficient, affecting the adhesion between the coating and the current collector; if the drying temperature is too high, it will also cause polymer denaturation, affecting its mechanical properties and the coating of silicon-carbon particles.

[0087] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification.
