Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery anode materials, specifically relating to a method for preparing and applying an organic-inorganic double-layer coated silicon-based composite anode material. Background Technology
[0002] As an advanced energy storage technology, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are now widely used in all aspects of daily life. However, in order to popularize the rapid growth of electric vehicles and intelligent robots, developing electrode materials with high energy density, excellent stability, and high safety is currently a top priority.
[0003] Alloy anodes (Sn, Ge, Si, etc.) offer higher energy densities compared to graphite electrodes currently used in lithium-ion batteries. In particular, silicon (Si) is considered the most attractive anode for lithium-ion batteries due to its abundant natural resources in the Earth's crust, low redox voltage, and high specific capacity (~3700 mAh g⁻¹). -1 And environmental friendliness. Unfortunately, due to the fact that in Li x The migration at the interface between Si and the Si phase causes a sharp increase in stress on the outer surface of Si particles. Si undergoes significant volume changes (>300%) during the lithiation / delithiation process, leading to structural breakage and electrode material separation, resulting in an unstable SEI film and short battery life. Furthermore, the low electronic conductivity significantly hinders the reaction kinetics of the lithium-ion electrode, limiting the rapid transport of lithium ions.
[0004] The key to solving the above problems is to develop high-performance silicon-carbon anode materials, which requires improvements to existing silicon-carbon anode materials. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a method for preparing and applying an organic-inorganic double-layer coated silicon-based composite anode material. This invention uses low-cost industrial wire-cut silicon wafer scrap as the silicon source, and prepares nano-silicon by high-energy ball milling of the scrap. Then, the nano-silicon is first coated using β-lactose as a carbon source via a hydrothermal method, followed by high-temperature carbonization to obtain a silicon@carbon composite material. Finally, the silicon@carbon material is secondly coated using a sol-gel method with titanium tetraisopropoxide as the titanium source, ultimately obtaining a silicon@carbon@titanium dioxide lithium-ion battery anode material.
[0006] In the silicon@carbon@titanium dioxide composite material prepared by this method, nano-silicon is encapsulated within amorphous carbon spheres, achieving a coated silicon-carbon anode. This structure avoids contact between the nano-silicon and the electrolyte and buffers the volume expansion during the lithiation / delithiation process of the nano-silicon. The amorphous TiO2 layer exhibits strain-relaxed elastic behavior, thereby maintaining the integrity of the anode and stabilizing the volume expansion during lithium insertion and deintercalation. Furthermore, due to the absence of long-range order and the presence of defects, the amorphous TiO2 layer can provide a high lithium-ion diffusion rate, thus increasing the potential for lithium deposition. + The prepared silicon-based anode material exhibits high capacity retention and excellent cycle stability, and is considered an ideal anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A method for preparing an organic-inorganic bilayer coated silicon-based composite anode material includes the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: Preparation of nano-silicon: Ball milling and sieving of industrial wire-cut silicon wafer residue to obtain nano-silicon powder;
[0010] Step 2: Prepare the precursor solution: Disperse the nano-silicon powder and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide obtained in Step 1 into deionized water to obtain solution A; disperse β-lactose, boric acid and graphene oxide into deionized water to obtain solution B; then mix solution A and solution B and disperse them to obtain the precursor solution.
[0011] Step 3: Preparation of nano-silicon@β-lactose composite material: The precursor solution obtained in Step 2 is subjected to hydrothermal reaction. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is centrifuged, washed and dried in sequence to obtain nano-silicon@β-lactose composite material.

[0017] Further, the hydrothermal reaction temperature in step three is 180-220℃, and the reaction time is 8-12h. To ensure a more uniform coating of β-lactose on the nano-silicon, the hydrothermal reaction is carried out in a homogeneous reactor at a rotation speed of 20-35 r / min. After the hydrothermal reaction is complete, the dispersion is removed, centrifuged at 8000-1100 r / min for 10-15 min, then washed 2-3 times with ethanol and deionized water, and vacuum dried at 60℃ for 24 h to obtain the nano-silicon@β-lactose composite material.
[0018] Furthermore, the high-temperature carbonization method described in step four is a segmented heating process, which includes first heating to 300-400℃ at a heating rate of 2-3℃ / min for pre-carbonization, holding for 0.5-1h, and then heating to 900-1100℃ at a heating rate of 3-5℃ / min for carbonization, holding for 2-3h, with a nitrogen flow rate of 50-100sccm, so that the carbonization reaction is completely completed.

Within this parameter range, nano-silicon can be coated inside the carbon spheres, and an amorphous titanium dioxide layer of suitable thickness can be formed on the outer layer of the carbon spheres.
[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method of the organic-inorganic bilayer coated silicon-based composite anode material includes the following steps:
[0024] Step 1: Preparation of Nano-Silicon: Equal portions of industrial wire-cut silicon wafer scrap are placed into two or four 1000ml zirconia ball mill jars, with a ball milling ball to polycrystalline silicon cutting sludge mass ratio of 50:1. The zirconia ball mill jars are then placed on a planetary ball mill. The diameters of the zirconia ball milling balls are 5, 8, 10, and 15 mm, with a corresponding mass ratio of 2:2:2:1. The ball mill is operated at 400-700 r / min at room temperature for dry milling for 10-18 hours. At least one-third of the space in the zirconia jars must be reserved. The milled silicon powder is then sieved to obtain nano-silicon powder.
[0025] Step 2: Prepare the precursor solution: Disperse 0.5-1g of nano-silicon powder and 2-5mmol of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in deionized water, sonicate for 0.5-1h, and magnetically stir for 2-3h to obtain solution A; disperse 5-10g of β-lactose, 5-10% boric acid, and 5-10% graphene oxide in an appropriate amount of deionized water, and magnetically stir at 40-60℃ for 3-5h to obtain solution B; then slowly introduce solution A into solution B while it is being stirred, and continue magnetically stirring for 2h to obtain the precursor solution.
[0026] Step 3: Preparation of nano-silicon@β-lactose composite material: The precursor solution prepared in Step 2 above was placed in a 100ml high-temperature resistant reactor. The reactor was then placed in a homogeneous reactor for a high-temperature hydrothermal reaction. The hydrothermal reaction temperature was 180-220℃, the reactor rotation speed was 20-35 r / min, and the reaction time was 8-12 h. After the reaction was complete, the dispersion was centrifuged at 8000-1100 r / min for 10-15 min, then washed 2-3 times with ethanol and deionized water, and vacuum dried at 60℃ for 24 h to obtain the nano-silicon@β-lactose composite material.
[0027] Step 4: Preparation of nano-silicon@carbon composite material: After grinding the dried nano-silicon@β-lactose composite material, place it in a quartz boat and heat it to 300-400℃ at a heating rate of 2-3℃ / min under a nitrogen atmosphere with a gas flow rate of 50-100 sccm, holding for 0.5-1h. Then heat it to 900-1100℃ at a heating rate of 3-5℃ / min, holding for 2-3h to obtain the Si@C composite material.
[0028] Step 5: Preparation of nano-silicon@carbon@titanium dioxide composite material: Disperse 0.5-1g of the Si@C composite material from Step 4 in deionized water, add 5-10% Tween 80, and sonicate for 0.5-1h to obtain solution C; disperse 750-1500µl of tetraisopropoxide titanium and 4M hydrochloric acid solution in anhydrous ethanol, and magnetically stir at 50-60℃ for 1-3h to obtain solution D; slowly add solution C to the stirring solution D, and continue magnetic stirring for 4-6h. After the reaction is complete, remove the mixed liquid and centrifuge at 8000-1100r / min for 10-15min, then wash 3-5 times with anhydrous ethanol, and vacuum dry at 60℃ for 24h to obtain nano-silicon@carbon@titanium dioxide composite material, denoted as Si@C@TiO2.
[0029] This invention also provides the aforementioned organic-inorganic bilayer coated silicon-based composite anode material, which consists of an innermost layer of nano-silicon, a middle layer of silicon-coated amorphous carbon, and an outermost layer of amorphous titanium dioxide. The nano-silicon is coated inside the amorphous carbon spheres, achieving a coated silicon-carbon anode structure. This structure avoids contact between the nano-silicon and the electrolyte and buffers the volume expansion during the lithiation / delithiation process of the nano-silicon. The amorphous titanium dioxide layer exhibits strain-relaxed elastic behavior, compensating for the insufficient mechanical strength of the carbon layer, thereby maintaining anode integrity and stabilizing the volume expansion during lithium insertion and deintercalation. Furthermore, due to the lack of long-range order and the presence of defects, the amorphous titanium dioxide layer can provide a high lithium-ion diffusion rate, thereby increasing the lithium ion diffusion capacity. + Electrochemical reactivity.

[0032] (1) The present invention uses industrial silicon wafer scrap as silicon source and reduces silicon particle size by high-energy ball milling. It has the advantages of low cost, simple operation, environmental friendliness and large-scale industrial production.
[0033] (2) A silicon-carbon anode with a coated structure was achieved by using a hydrothermal synthesis process to encapsulate nano-silicon inside amorphous carbon spheres formed by β-lactose. This structure can avoid contact between nano-silicon and electrolyte and buffer the volume expansion during the lithiation / delithiation process of nano-silicon; the graphene oxide in the carbonization process is reduced, and a three-dimensional conductive network is pre-constructed in the carbon layer to provide a channel for electron transport.
[0034] (3) The titanium dioxide layer is fabricated via the sol-gel method, which is simple and environmentally friendly. The amorphous TiO2 layer exhibits strain-relaxed elastic behavior, thus maintaining the integrity of the anode and stabilizing the volume expansion during lithium insertion and extraction, thereby improving the cycle stability of the lithium-ion battery. On the other hand, due to the absence of long-range order and the presence of defects, the amorphous TiO2 layer can provide a high lithium-ion diffusion rate, thereby increasing the lithium-ion diffusion rate. + Electrochemical reactivity.
