TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium ion secondary batteries, in particular to a mixed negative electrode material, a negative electrode and a lithium ion secondary battery thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of lithium ion batteries for many years, the requirements for high energy density and fast charging of lithium ion batteries are increasing to meet various application needs, including portable electronic products and electric vehicles and various application scenarios. Silicon-carbon materials stand out with their high lithiation capacity, excellent safety performance and high abundance. The use of graphite negative electrode material mixed with silicon-carbon material can significantly improve the energy density of lithium ion batteries and is expected to have large-scale commercial prospects. However, the vulnerability of silicon-carbon material leads to the generation of new interfaces, volume expansion, and deterioration of the contact interface with electrolyte, conductive agent and binder. At the same time, there is a phenomenon that the contact area between electrolyte and negative electrode material is small and the wettability is poor. This phenomenon further reduces the stability of the negative electrode interface, increases the impedance, and increases the diffusion barrier, which reduces the lithium ion conducting ability, resulting in poor battery cycle life and poor rate performance. The physical cutting method can increase the specific surface area of the negative electrode material in contact with the electrolyte, but this method has obvious defects. The cutting process generates local concentrated heat, which causes thermal damage to the negative active material and reduces the content of active silicon. At this time, the lithium ion conducting ability cannot be improved well. In view of this, the mixed negative electrode material needs to be improved and developed, and it should be suitable for physical cutting, so as to obtain a negative electrode material with high electrical conductivity, good cycle performance and good rate performance, a negative electrode and a lithium ion secondary battery.

[0082] The present application is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0083] The application first provides a mixed negative electrode material, comprising a silicon-carbon material and a graphitized material;
[0084] The silicon-carbon material takes porous carbon as a matrix, and a silicon layer and an ordered layered carbon layer are sequentially deposited on the surface of the porous carbon matrix;
[0085] The compaction density of the mixed negative electrode material under ≥5Mpa is 1.0-2.0g / cm 3 , and the electrical conductivity is 0.80-188S / cm;
[0086] The mass ratio of the graphitized material in the mixed negative electrode material is ≥ the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material, and satisfies 1.6≤mass ratio of graphitized material / mass ratio of silicon-carbon material≤8.5;
[0087] The mass ratio of the graphitized material is the mass ratio of the graphitized material in the negative electrode active material (graphitized material and silicon-carbon material);
[0088] The mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material is the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material in the negative electrode active material (graphitized material and silicon-carbon material);
[0089] The particle size Dv10 of the mixed negative electrode material is 1.1μm-5.2μm;
[0090] The particle size Dv50 of the mixed negative electrode material is 5.3μm-16μm;
[0091] The particle size Dv90 of the mixed negative electrode material is 16μm-35μm;
[0092] The porosity of the mixed negative electrode material is 0.005%-0.1%;
[0093] The specific surface area of the mixed negative electrode material satisfies 1.2-3.2m 2 / g;
[0094] The surface of the mixed negative electrode electrode coated with the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material has a cutting area.
[0095] The application takes porous carbon as a matrix, and a silicon-carbon material with a silicon layer and an ordered layered carbon layer deposited on the surface of the porous carbon matrix in sequence is mixed with graphitized material to obtain a mixed negative electrode material, and the structural characteristics of the silicon-carbon material with the high-thermal-conductivity and low-resistance ordered layered carbon layer on the surface of the silicon-carbon material enable the heat cut on the surface of the negative electrode to be transferred to the graphitized material in a horizontal direction, reduces the heat penetrating into the interior of the silicon-carbon material in a vertical direction, reduces the damage to active silicon and the generation of crystalline silicon, solves the problem of active silicon loss in the process of cutting the surface of the negative electrode, and can improve the wettability of the electrolyte on the surface of the negative electrode, and the electrolyte spreads on the surface of the electrode at a faster speed, and the efficient network system provided by the efficient contact between the ordered layered carbon layer of the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material also provides an efficient network system for the conduction of electrons.
[0096] The application can obtain a mixed negative electrode with high compaction, low porosity and low specific surface area by controlling the compaction density, the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material in the mixed negative electrode material, the particle size distribution of the mixed negative electrode material, the porosity of the mixed negative electrode material and the specific surface area of the mixed negative electrode material, effectively improves the conductivity of the battery while reducing the impedance of the battery, and improves the cycle performance and rate performance of the battery. On the one hand, the suitable compaction density provides sufficient space for electron conduction, the micro-pores reserved under the higher compaction density provide sufficient ion channels and ensure sufficient electrolyte immersion space, and also ensure sufficient structural support strength; on the other hand, the conductivity is also related to the particle size distribution of the mixed negative electrode material, when the particle size range and the particle size distribution of the mixed negative electrode material are within a certain range, the contact area between the particles increases, at this time, the electron transfer path is shortened, and the conductivity is improved; on the other hand, the low porosity is a direct result of the high compaction density and the optimized particle size distribution range, which reflects that the proportion of solid materials in the electrode is high, and the invalid space is small, which not only strengthens the electron conduction network, but also reduces the tortuosity of ion transmission, which is beneficial to the improvement of the conductivity, strengthens the electron conduction and optimizes the ion transmission path; in addition, the low specific surface area means that the active interface of the mixed negative electrode material exposed to the electrolyte is reduced, and a more stable and thinner interface layer is beneficial to maintaining efficient ion transmission across the interface, thereby improving the overall ion conductivity and long-term cycle stability of the electrode; in addition, by controlling the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material in the mixed negative electrode material, the graphitized particles can form a rigid constraint network to absorb the expansion stress of the silicon particles, and a higher mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material provides higher specific capacity, improves the capacity density of the battery, and balances the mechanical strength and electrochemical performance of the electrode.
[0097] Specifically, the compaction density of the mixed negative electrode material can be controlled mainly in the following aspects. Firstly, when the particle sizes Dv10, Dv50 and Dv90 of the mixed negative electrode material are limited within a certain range, the upper limit of Dv90 can control the particle size and proportion of large particles at the same time, prevent the formation of too large pores locally, and thus ensure the uniform infiltration of electrolyte in the electrode, while the sizes of Dv50 and Dv10 are optimized. Under this particle size distribution system, by controlling the sizes of the median particle size and the fine particle size, the large particles and small particles are reasonably distributed, the large particles form a skeleton, and the small particles effectively fill the gaps between the large particles. This optimized particle gradation is the material basis for achieving ideal compaction density and pore structure. In addition, the compaction density is also related to the pressure. When the pressure is increased, the compaction density shows an upward trend. However, too high pressure may damage the structure of the mixed negative electrode material. In addition, the compaction density is also related to the porosity of the mixed negative electrode material of the application. When the porosity meets certain conditions, a suitable compaction density control range is provided, which avoids the problems of broken electronic conduction network caused by too high porosity and too low compaction density, and blocked ion transport path and unable to release silicon expansion stress caused by too low porosity and too high compaction density. On the basis of the above, a suitable compaction density can be obtained, which significantly improves the electrical conductivity of the electrode, enhances the structural stability of the electrode, and finally realizes higher rate performance and longer cycle life.
[0098] The particle size distribution of the mixed negative electrode material in the application can be realized by conventional means. The silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material can be mixed according to a certain mixing ratio and manner to obtain the ideal mixed negative electrode material particle size range. The silicon-carbon material or the graphitized material is sieved according to the particle size size distribution requirements, the negative electrode material in different particle size size ranges is sieved out, each part of the negative electrode material after sieving is mixed according to the target ratio, and then the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material in the mixed negative electrode material are mixed according to a certain mass ratio.
[0099] The mass proportion of the graphitized material in the mixed negative electrode material obtained by the application is greater than or equal to the mass proportion of the silicon-carbon material, and satisfies 1.6≤mass proportion of graphitized material / mass proportion of silicon-carbon material≤8.5. This design can realize the reasonable matching of the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material by the mass proportion of the mixed negative electrode material, ensure the fast transmission of electrons and excellent interface contact characteristics, and balance the structural strength, specific capacity, electrolyte infiltration capacity of the mixed negative electrode material, thereby improving the electrical conductivity.
[0100] In addition, the application can also control the porosity and specific surface area of the mixed negative electrode material within a certain range, and under a certain porosity and specific surface area, sufficient active sites are provided for the electrode, while the mechanical strength of the electrode is also considered, the surface tension of the negative electrode material is reduced, and the porosity and specific surface area of the mixed negative electrode material are also related to the compaction density and particle size distribution of the mixed negative electrode material as described above. Under a certain compaction density and particle size distribution, appropriate voids and specific surface area are provided. Avoid the problem of increasing porosity when the compaction density is too low and the particle size is large.
[0101] As a further solution, the cutting area depth of the surface of the mixed negative electrode is 8-45 μm, and the cutting area depth < the negative electrode paste coating thickness of the mixed negative electrode ≤ 164 μm; the cutting area width of the mixed negative electrode is 45-240 μm.
[0102] The cutting area existing on the surface of the negative electrode can increase the specific surface area of the negative electrode, increase the contact with the electrolyte, reduce the lithium migration distance and diffusion resistance, and can quickly embed lithium and lithium, prevent local electrolyte aggregation, optimize the contact of silicon-carbon material, graphitized material and electrolyte, and improve the interface; to reduce the loss of silicon-carbon material in cutting: the graphitized microcrystalline development degree of the ordered layered carbon layer in the silicon-carbon material is good, has high thermal conductivity and low resistance characteristics, and the ordered layered carbon layer is distributed horizontally, the horizontal transfer of cutting heat is better, the longitudinal thermal conductivity to the inside of the silicon-carbon material is weakened, the secondary heat transfer efficiency to the contacted graphitized material is higher, the melting and crystallization of active silicon inside the silicon-carbon material is reduced, and the cutting loss and further formation of crystalline silicon of active silicon are reduced; part of the silicon-carbon negative electrode cut increases the crystalline silicon, the crystalline silicon covers the exposed area of the mixed negative electrode material cut, reduces the exposure of active silicon, and can further reduce the consumption of lithium and improve the cycle life of the battery.
[0103] As a further solution, the true density of the mixed negative electrode material is 2.05 cm 3 / g-2.26 cm 3 / g.
[0104] As a further solution, the particle size range of the mixed negative electrode material is 0.9 μm-37 μm.
[0105] As a further preferred solution, the particle size range of the mixed negative electrode material is 1.2 μm-31 μm.
[0106] As a further solution, the compaction density of the mixed negative electrode material under ≥100 Mpa is 1.2-2.0 g / cm 3 .
[0107] The application can further obtain the mixed negative electrode material satisfying the above performance parameters through material design of the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material. Specifically, the mixed negative electrode material satisfying the above performance parameters can be obtained by optimizing the resistivity, the electrical conductivity, the reversible deformation variable / the maximum deformation variable range of the silicon-carbon material at a high compaction density, and the specific surface area, the Dv50 range, and the OI value at a high compaction density of the graphitized material.
[0108] The application also provides a preparation method of a mixed negative electrode including the mixed negative electrode material, including the following steps:
[0109] S1: pre-mixing the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material according to a target mass ratio and a particle size distribution range to obtain a mixed negative electrode material;
[0110] S2: mixing and stirring the mixed negative electrode material, a negative electrode adhesive material, a negative electrode conductor material, and a solvent to obtain a composite negative electrode slurry;
[0111] S3: coating the composite negative electrode slurry on a foil, drying to remove the solvent, rolling, drying, and die cutting to obtain a mixed negative electrode;
[0112] S4: physically cutting the surface of the negative electrode;
[0113] As a further scheme, the silicon-carbon material satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0114] (1) the silicon-carbon material has a resistivity of 0.02-15 Ω*cm at a compaction density of 1.0-1.6 g / cm 3 ;
[0115] (2) the silicon-carbon material has an electrical conductivity value / compaction density value of ≥1, the electrical conductivity unit is S / cm, and the compaction density unit is g / cm 3 ;
[0116] (3) the silicon-carbon material has a reversible deformation variable / the maximum deformation variable range of 21%-45% at 30-300 MPa.
[0117] At a higher compaction density, the resistivity of the silicon-carbon material can be controlled within a certain range, the ratio of the electrical conductivity to the compaction density is optimized, the mixed negative electrode material after mixing of the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material satisfies the above performance, the higher reversible deformation variable range under a high pressure provides sufficient operation space for the high pressure condition in the compaction process of the mixed negative electrode material, and the higher reversible deformation variable range also provides stress absorption for the expansion of the silicon-carbon material, thereby ensuring that the prepared mixed negative electrode material satisfies the above characteristics.
[0118] As a further preferred embodiment, the graphitized material satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0119] (1) The specific surface area of the graphitized material is 1.0–3.2 m². 2 / g.
[0120] (2) The Dv50 of the graphitized material is 10μm to 18μm.
[0121] (3) The graphitized material has a content of 1.75 g / cm³. 3 The OI value at the compacted density is <10.5.
[0122] This invention utilizes different raw materials for carbonization of graphitized materials, controlling the carbonization temperature and time to obtain graphitized materials that meet the aforementioned specific surface area, particle size distribution, and OI value at a certain compaction density. These characteristics of the graphitized materials can create a complementary filling effect with the aforementioned silicon-carbon materials, thereby increasing the compaction density and conductivity of the composite anode material. When the specific surface area of the graphitized material is within a certain range, a higher contact area between the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material can be achieved, further improving conductivity. The OI value of the graphitized material at a certain compaction density determines the degree of graphitization order. When the OI value is relatively low, it indicates a higher degree of crystal disorder in the graphitized material. This results in better effective contact between the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material, promoting multi-directional lithium-ion diffusion and further enhancing conductivity.
[0123] Furthermore, the present invention can further control the material performance parameters of the porous carbon matrix, silicon layer and ordered layered carbon layer in the preparation of silicon-carbon materials, so as to obtain silicon-carbon materials that meet the above performance parameters.
[0124] As a further embodiment, the porous carbon satisfies one or more of the following conditions:
[0125] (1) The pore volume of the porous carbon is 0.55–1.15 cm³. 3 / g,
[0126] (2) The particle size of the porous carbon is 2μm to 30μm;
[0127] (3) The area of peak D, Ad, in the Raman spectrum of the porous carbon is 1180 cm⁻¹. -1 From 1400cm -1 The corresponding area and peak area Ag of G are 1400 cm⁻¹ -1 From 1650cm -1 The corresponding area, and the Ag / Ad ratio satisfies 0.507 to 2.370.
[0128] The ratio of the G peak and the D peak area (Ag / Ad) in the Raman spectrum reflects the carbonization degree and the structural defect density of the porous carbon material, and the Ag / Ad ratio in the range of 0.507-2.370 indicates that the porous carbon has moderate carbon microcrystal order, the moderate order degree guarantees the good intrinsic conductivity of the pore wall, and at the same time maintains the necessary structural activity to facilitate the deposition and combination of silicon.
[0129] The present application can obtain the ideal Ag / Ad ratio by controlling the carbonization temperature of the raw materials of different kinds of porous carbon, and the structural characteristics of the porous carbon, thereby indirectly affecting the conductivity of the silicon-carbon material.
[0130] As a further scheme, in the silicon-carbon material, the mass ratio of the silicon layer to the porous carbon is 1:(0.75-2.4).
[0131] As a further scheme, the carbon content of the ordered layered carbon layer deposited on the surface of the porous carbon substrate accounts for 0.2-5wt% of the silicon-carbon material.
[0132] By depositing an ordered layered carbon layer on the surface of the porous carbon and controlling the carbon content of the ordered carbon layer, the resistivity of the mixed negative electrode material can be further reduced, the conductivity can be improved, an efficient electron seepage network of the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material in the negative electrode is established, the electrical contact capacity is enhanced, the polarization of the mixed negative electrode material is well reduced, the good electron and ion contact network of the negative electrode is ensured, the high proportion of silicon in the silicon-carbon material enhances the rate performance of the negative electrode, the distributed porous carbon in the silicon-carbon material strengthens the toughness and pressure resistance of the silicon-carbon material, the brittleness is reduced, and the interface stability of the mixed negative electrode material is increased. In the silicon-carbon material, the mass ratio of silicon to porous carbon can be controlled by the temperature of gas phase deposition. The carbon content of the ordered layered carbon layer deposited on the surface of the porous carbon substrate accounts for the mass ratio of the silicon-carbon material, which can be controlled by the temperature during the carbon deposition coating process.
[0133] As a further preferred scheme, the ordered layered carbon layer has a thickness of 2-94nm.
[0134] As a further scheme, the premixing method of the S1 mixed negative electrode material is:
[0135] The graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material are respectively sieved according to the particle size interval of the lower limit of the particle size-Dv10, Dv10-Dv50 (not including Dv10), Dv50-Dv90 (not including Dv50), and Dv90-the upper limit of the particle size (not including Dv90), the four parts of the materials sieved above are mixed according to the particle number ratio of 1:4:4:1, and then the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material are mixed according to the target mass ratio to obtain the mixed negative electrode material.
[0136] As a further preferred aspect, the method for preparing the silicon-carbon material in S1 comprises: depositing a gas-phase silicon source in the porous carbon by chemical vapor deposition, and performing carbon deposition coating at a high temperature to form an ordered layered carbon layer, i.e., the silicon-carbon material.
[0137] As a further aspect, the porous carbon is hard carbon or soft carbon obtained by carbonization and activation of at least one of phenolic resin, coconut shell, and tar.
[0138] As a still further aspect, the carbonization temperature of the phenolic resin, coconut shell, and tar is 600-1000℃, and the carbonization time is 4-10h.
[0139] As one of the exemplary aspects, different carbonization temperatures and carbonization times of the porous carbon raw materials of different origins can obtain porous carbons with different structural characteristics. The carbonization temperature is a key factor for driving the conversion of organic matter into carbon material and affecting the order degree of carbon microcrystal. A lower temperature is conducive to obtaining porous carbon with developed pores and high specific surface area. A higher temperature can promote the ordering and recombination of carbon structure, reduce defects, and enhance the mechanical strength and intrinsic conductivity of the pore wall. The carbonization time has a certain contribution to the fullness of pyrolysis reaction and the uniformity of structural evolution. By selecting different raw materials and carbonizing at appropriate temperatures and times, the desired particle size and particle size distribution range of the porous carbon can be obtained, and the area ratio of G peak to D peak in the Raman spectrum can be obtained.
[0140] As a further aspect, the gas-phase silicon source comprises at least one of monosilane, disilane, trichlorosilane, dichlorosilane, or trichlorosilane.
[0141] As a further aspect, the temperature of the chemical vapor deposition is 350-760℃.
[0142] In the present application, the temperature of the chemical vapor deposition has a certain influence on the mass ratio of silicon to porous carbon in the silicon-carbon material. With the increase of the temperature of the gas-phase deposition, the silicon-carbon ratio in the silicon-carbon material shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, which is related to the silicon hydride cracking efficiency and the silicon-carbon interdiffusion degree at different temperatures. This may be due to the fact that in the relatively low temperature range, the increase of the silicon hydride cracking efficiency is the dominant factor, while in the higher temperature range, the silicon-carbon interdiffusion and reaction consumption become the dominant factors, which together lead to the non-monotonic change of the silicon content.
[0143] As a further aspect, the carbon source for the deposition of the ordered layered carbon layer on the surface of the porous carbon substrate comprises at least one of nano-graphite sheet, nano-tube, nano-carbon fiber, ethylene, butyne, acetylene, or propyne.
[0144] As a further aspect, the temperature of the carbon deposition coating is 420-600℃.
[0145] As a further preferred aspect, the temperature of the carbon deposition coating is 480℃.
[0146] In the present application, the carbon deposition time or deposition temperature can be controlled to promote the formation of a thicker and denser carbon coating layer on the surface of the porous carbon substrate. The coating layer is mainly composed of pyrolytic carbon, and the degree of carbon deposition coating increases with increasing temperature. By adjusting the temperature and time parameters, the mass fraction of the carbon in the coating layer can be increased, thereby accurately controlling its mass fraction in the final silicon-carbon material.
[0147] As a further aspect, the graphitized material is obtained by carbonization, graphitization, granulation, and coating of one or more of needle-shaped tar, coal tar, pitch tar, and petroleum coke.
[0148] As a further aspect, the carbonization temperature of the graphitized material precursor is 420-1260℃, and the carbonization time is 3-10h.
[0149] The carbonization temperature and time of the raw material of the graphitized material have certain effects on the specific surface area, particle size distribution, and OI value of the graphitized material. When the carbonization temperature is too high and the time is too long, the structure of the graphitized material may be affected, thereby affecting the specific surface area and OI value of the graphitized material. By selecting appropriate graphitized material raw materials and treating them at appropriate carbonization temperatures and times, an ideal specific surface area and an ideal graphitized material particle size distribution can be obtained, and a lower OI value indicates that the crystal arrangement is multi-directional, the crystal structure is not easily damaged during particle compaction, the structure is more complete, a continuous conductive network is provided, the silicon expansion stress is uniformly distributed in the mixed negative electrode, a buffer is formed between the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material, and the damage of the silicon expansion to the compacted structure can be alleviated.
[0150] As a further preferred aspect, the S2 is a pre-mixture of the negative electrode conductor material and the mixed negative electrode material; 30%-70% of the negative electrode adhesive material a, 30%-70% of the negative electrode adhesive material b, and a solvent are mixed and kneaded for 0.5-3h; the remaining negative electrode adhesive material a, the negative electrode conductor material, the remaining negative electrode adhesive material b, and the solvent are further mixed and stirred for 0.5-3h to control the solid content at 30%-55%; the negative electrode adhesive material c and the solvent are further stirred for 0.5-3h to control the solid content at 25%-48% and the fineness at ≤45μm, thereby obtaining the mixed negative electrode slurry;
[0151] As a further preferred place, the S2 is to pre-mix the negative electrode conductor material, the mixed negative electrode material; add 50% of the negative electrode adhesive material a, 50% of the negative electrode adhesive material b, the solvent is mixed and kneaded for 90min; add the rest of the negative electrode adhesive material a, the negative electrode conductor material, the rest of the negative electrode adhesive material b, the solvent is mixed and stirred for 120min, control the solid content at 45%; add the adhesive material c, the solvent is stirred for 60min, control the solid content at 40%, the fineness is ≤45μm, get the composite negative electrode slurry;
[0152] As a further scheme, the S3 is that the surface density of the negative electrode slurry coated on the foil is 0.003-0.024g / cm 2 .
[0153] As a further scheme, in the S4, the negative electrode surface is cut by a photon beam, and the cutting is performed by a high-temperature photon beam perpendicular to the negative electrode surface, resulting in a cutting area, and the cutting area has a cut silicon-carbon material;
[0154] The cutting area on the negative electrode surface can increase the specific surface area of the negative electrode, increase the contact with the electrolyte, reduce the lithium migration distance and diffusion resistance, quickly embed and extract lithium, prevent local electrolyte aggregation, optimize the contact between the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material and the electrolyte, and improve the interface; to reduce the loss of silicon-carbon material in cutting: the ordered layered carbon layer in the silicon-carbon material has good graphitic microcrystalline development, high thermal conductivity, and low resistance characteristics, and the ordered layered carbon layer is distributed horizontally, the horizontal transfer of cutting heat is better, the longitudinal thermal conductivity to the inside of the silicon-carbon material is weakened, the secondary heat transfer efficiency to the contacted graphitized material is higher, the melting and crystallization of active silicon inside the silicon-carbon material is reduced, and the cutting loss and further formation of crystalline silicon of active silicon are reduced; part of the cut silicon-carbon negative electrode has crystalline silicon, the crystalline silicon covers the exposed area of the mixed negative electrode material, reduces the exposure of active silicon, and can further reduce the consumption of lithium and improve the cycle life of the battery.
[0155] As a further scheme, the temperature of the photon beam cutting is 800-2000℃.
[0156] As a further preferred scheme, the temperature of the photon beam cutting is 1000-1800℃.
[0157] If the cutting temperature is too high, the cutting is too deep and too wide, and more mixed negative electrode material (graphitized material + silicon-carbon material) will be lost, causing lithium precipitation on the cell interface, rapid capacity reduction, cycle deterioration, easy shedding of negative electrode material on the negative electrode surface, and higher cutting temperature and cutting power when cutting too deep, which can easily cause excessive crystalline silicon to be generated.

[0326] The test results are shown in the following table:
[0327]
[0328]
[0329] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-22 and Comparative Examples 1-7, when the mixed negative electrode material in the application simultaneously uses silicon-carbon material with silicon layer and ordered layered carbon layer deposited in sequence and graphitized material, and the mass ratio of the two materials is limited within a certain range, and the compaction density, electrical conductivity, particle size distribution and porosity of the mixed negative electrode material are limited within a certain range, on this basis, the high thermal conductivity and low resistance characteristics of the transverse layered carbon microcrystals in the silicon-carbon can be used to transfer the cutting heat horizontally to the graphite, reduce the vertical deepening of the heat into the silicon-carbon, reduce the damage of active silicon and the generation of crystalline silicon, the generated trace amount of crystalline silicon covers the cutting wound, reduces the exposure of active silicon and lithium loss, and further prolongs the cycle life of the battery.
[0330] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, when the carbonization temperature of the graphitized material precursor is low, and the carbonization temperature of the raw material of the porous carbon is high, both of which are not within the limited range of the application, the graphitized material and the porous silicon-carbon material obtained at this time do not have good parameters, such as large particle size of the graphitized material, at this time, the graphitized material has a compaction density of 1.75g / cm3, which is less than the compaction density of the porous silicon-carbon material, and the compaction density of the porous silicon-carbon material is 2.05g / cm3, which is less than the compaction density of the graphitized material, and the electrical conductivity of the graphitized material is 1.5x10-4S / cm, which is less than the electrical conductivity of the porous silicon-carbon material, and the electrical conductivity of the porous silicon-carbon material is 2.5x10-4S / cm, which is less than the electrical conductivity of the graphitized material, and the particle size of the graphitized material is 20-30μm, which is larger than the particle size of the porous silicon-carbon material, and the particle size of the porous silicon-carbon material is 10-20μm, which is less than the particle size of the graphitized material, and the porosity of the graphitized material is 0.3g / cm3, which is less than the porosity of the porous silicon-carbon material, and the porosity of the porous silicon-carbon material is 0.5g / cm3, which is less than the porosity of the graphitized material. 3The OI value at the compaction density is high, which indicates that the graphitized material is irregular and has a high degree of defects at this time, and the microstructure of the graphitized material exhibits significant non-uniformity - disordered carbon phase and highly oriented crystal domains coexist, resulting in an increase in the diffusion energy barrier of lithium ions between crystal planes, reducing the electrochemical performance of the battery.
[0331] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2-3, by controlling the temperature of the deposition of the gas-phase silicon source, the carbon content of the ordered layered carbon layer can be controlled to further reduce the resistivity of the mixed negative electrode material, improve the electrical conductivity, establish an efficient electronic percolation network of the silicon-carbon material and the graphitized material in the negative electrode, enhance the electrical contact ability, well reduce the polarization of the mixed negative electrode material, ensure the good electronic and ionic contact network of the negative electrode, the high proportion of silicon in the silicon-carbon material enhances the rate performance of the negative electrode, and the distributed porous carbon in the silicon-carbon material strengthens the toughness, compression resistance and reduces the brittleness of the silicon-carbon material, and the interface stability of the mixed negative electrode material is increased. The mass ratio of silicon to porous carbon in the silicon-carbon material can be controlled by the temperature of the gas-phase deposition. The mass ratio of the carbon content of the ordered layered carbon layer deposited on the surface of the porous carbon matrix to the silicon-carbon material can be controlled by the temperature during the carbon deposition coating process. When the mass ratio of the carbon content of the ordered layered carbon layer deposited on the surface of the porous carbon matrix to the silicon-carbon material is not within the limited range, the content of the surface ordered layered carbon layer may be insufficient to laterally transfer cutting heat to graphite, resulting in more crystalline silicon, which is not conducive to reducing the impedance of the battery.
[0332] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, the resistivity of the silicon-carbon material prepared in Comparative Example 4 is high, the ratio of the electrical conductivity to the compaction density is less than 1, and the reversible deformation range of the silicon-carbon material is low. This is because the phenolic resin used as the porous carbon raw material is subjected to a carbonization reaction at a lower temperature and for a shorter time. Due to incomplete carbonization, the pore volume of the porous carbon material obtained at this time is large, the particle size of the porous carbon is large, the value of Ag / Ad is small, the silicon-carbon material obtained has a high defect density, and the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon material is significant, which is not conducive to improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0333] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 5, as shown in Figures 6 to 8 the negative electrode subjected to photon beam cutting, when the mixed negative electrode material composed of the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material with ordered layered carbon layer is used, the structure avoids the problem of crystalline silicon formed in the cutting area due to the concentration of cutting heat, increases the specific surface area of the negative electrode, improves the contact between the negative active material and the electrolyte, improves the interface, reduces the interface impedance, and also reduces the consumption of lithium, prolongs the service life of the battery, thereby improving the cycle performance and rate performance of the battery.
[0334] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 6, when the mass ratio of graphitized material / silicon-carbon material is within the limited range, the reasonable combination of the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material is achieved, the fast electron transmission and excellent interface contact characteristics are ensured, and the structural strength, specific capacity, and electrolyte wettability of the mixed negative electrode material are balanced, thereby improving the electrical conductivity.
[0335] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 7, when the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material are mixed, the particle size of the screened particles is not mixed according to the limited range of the present application, at this time, due to the lack of ideal compaction density and pore structure of the material basis, the structural stability of the electrode is poor, which is not conducive to achieving higher rate performance and longer cycle life.
[0336] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-2 and Examples 3-4, the present application can further optimize the mass ratio of graphitized material and silicon-carbon material to achieve a reasonable combination of graphitized material and silicon-carbon material, ensure fast electron transmission and excellent interface contact characteristics, and balance the structural strength, specific capacity, and electrolyte wettability of the mixed negative electrode material, thereby improving the electrical conductivity.
[0337] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-2 and Examples 5-7, during the cutting operation on the surface of the negative electrode, by controlling the temperature of the photon beam cutting, and limiting the depth and width of the cutting area within a certain range, the problem of losing too much mixed negative electrode material due to cutting too deep and too wide is avoided, which causes the lithium precipitation at the interface of the battery, rapid capacity reduction, cycle deterioration, and easy shedding of the negative electrode material on the surface of the negative electrode. In addition, cutting too deep requires higher cutting temperature and cutting power, which can easily lead to the problem of excessive crystalline silicon generation. At the same time, the problem of limited improvement of the battery electrochemical performance due to too low cutting temperature, cutting depth, and cutting width is also avoided.
[0338] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-2 and Examples 8-12, by optimizing the carbonization temperature and time of the porous carbon raw material within a certain range, the particle size range of the porous carbon can be further optimized within a certain range, and the Ag / Ad value of the porous carbon can be further improved. At this time, the structure of the obtained porous carbon material is more complete, the defects are less, and the order degree is higher. On this basis, the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material are mixed within a certain particle size range, at this time, the mixed negative electrode material can obtain good porosity under a certain compaction density. From the particle size range of the mixed negative electrode material, the compaction density, and the order degree of the porous carbon in the mixed negative electrode material, the electrochemical performance of the battery is improved.
[0339] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-2 and Examples 13-15, when different gas-phase silicon sources are selected for deposition on the porous carbon, the mass ratio of silicon to the porous carbon of the obtained silicon-carbon material is different as the deposition temperature of the gas-phase silicon source is increased.
[0340] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-2 and Examples 16-18, when different types of porous carbon raw materials are selected and different carbonization temperatures are used, different pore volumes are obtained, and porous carbons with different particle sizes are formed. In this case, the Ag / Ad is also different, and the porous carbon material obtained on this basis also exhibits certain differences in conductivity and resistivity at different compaction densities, thereby indirectly affecting the electrochemical performance of the final mixed negative electrode material.
[0341] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-2 and Examples 19-22, when the porous carbon is coated by carbon deposition, the mass ratio of the carbon content in the silicon-carbon material is different when the carbon deposition coating is performed, and the thickness of the preferred layered carbon layer on the surface of the silicon-carbon material is different. In this case, the resistivity of the silicon-carbon material increases first and then decreases with the increase of the thickness, and the ratio of the conductivity to the compaction density increases first and then decreases, so when the surface of the silicon-carbon material is coated by carbon deposition, the ordered layered carbon layer on the surface is limited within a certain range, and good electrochemical performance can be obtained.
[0342] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Example 2, as in Example 1, the lower the OI value of the graphitized material, the higher the degree of disorder of the crystal of the graphitized material, and the better the effective contact between the graphitized material and the silicon-carbon material is achieved, which promotes the multi-directional diffusion of lithium ions and further enhances the cycle performance of the electrode.
[0343] Figure 1 The compaction density of the mixed negative electrode material of Example 1 is 1.0-2.0 g / cm 3 , and the conductivity is 0.80-118 S / cm. Figure 2 The compaction density of the mixed negative electrode material of Example 1 at ≥100 MPa is 1.2-2.0 g / cm 3 . Figure 3 As can be seen, the resistivity of the silicon-carbon material of Example 1 at 40 MPa is 2.5 Ω*cm, Figure 4 As can be seen, the conductivity value / compaction density value of the silicon-carbon material of Example 1 is 3.3, and Figure 5 As can be seen, the transmission electron microscope image of the silicon-carbon material of Example 1 shows that it has a high compaction density and a low porosity.
[0344] In summary, in the present application, the graphite material and silicon-carbon material are combined, the contact area between the negative electrode materials is increased, the pressure at the contact position is reduced, the silicon-carbon material of the negative electrode is more evenly distributed, after lithiation, the uniform contact of the graphite ensures isotropic expansion, thereby enhancing the overall integrity of the mixed negative electrode material and the structural stability of the negative electrode. The silicon-carbon material of the negative electrode is mechanically enhanced, the resistivity is reduced, the conductivity is increased, the particle size cracks are reduced and the electron path is enhanced, thereby reducing the surface tension and slowing down the crack propagation. This significantly reduces the pulverization and expansion of the negative electrode; reduces the contact impedance, weakens the diffusion barrier, and improves the lithium ion conductivity. By cutting the graphite material and silicon-carbon material on the surface of the negative electrode, the specific surface area of the negative electrode can be increased, the contact with the electrolyte can be increased, the lithium migration distance and diffusion impedance can be reduced, the lithium can be quickly inserted and extracted, the local electrolyte accumulation can be prevented, the contact between the silicon-carbon material, the graphitized material and the electrolyte can be optimized, and the interface can be improved; in order to reduce the loss of the silicon-carbon material during cutting, the graphite crystallites in the ordered layered carbon layer of the silicon-carbon material have good development degree, high thermal conductivity and low resistance characteristics, and the ordered layered carbon layer is distributed horizontally, the horizontal transfer of cutting heat is better, the longitudinal thermal conductivity to the inside of the silicon-carbon material is weakened, the secondary heat transfer efficiency to the contacted graphitized material is higher, the further cutting of the silicon-carbon material inside is reduced, the cutting loss of active silicon and the further formation of crystalline silicon are reduced; the cut silicon-carbon negative electrode has part of crystalline silicon, the crystalline silicon covers the exposed area of the cut silicon-carbon negative electrode, the exposure of active silicon is reduced, the consumption of lithium is further reduced, and the battery cycle life is improved.
