Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of powder material preparation and modification, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a carbon-based silicon composite negative electrode material and a double-torus rotating fluidization device, which is used for realizing five processes of carbonization, activation, silicon deposition, carbon coating and ALD passivation of the carbon-based silicon composite negative electrode material under single-temperature-zone conditions. BACKGROUND
[0002] The preparation of existing powder materials (such as carbon-based silicon composite negative electrodes) needs to be completed in multiple steps by multiple devices: (1) carbonization of biomass / resin raw materials in a tube furnace; (2) pore creation of the carbonization product by transferring it to an activation furnace (CO2 / H2O is passed through); (3) deposition of silicon (such as pyrolysis of silane) on the activated carbon in a fluidized bed; (4) carbon coating of the silicon-carbon composite in another CVD device; and (5) deposition of a passivation film (such as Al2O3) in an ALD device. The multi-step process has three major problems: (1) multiple transfers of the material result in pollution (such as air oxidation) and loss (transfer residual rate ≤ 90%); (2) the process parameters (temperature, atmosphere) of each device are incompatible, and repeated heating / cooling (such as 800℃ for carbonization and 300℃ for ALD) is required, resulting in high energy consumption; and (3) there is a lack of dynamic layering control, the powder easily agglomerates in the carbonization / activation stage, and the coating uniformity is poor in the silicon deposition / carbon coating / ALD stage, resulting in large fluctuations in product performance.
[0003] Existing single-temperature-zone powder processing devices (such as single-temperature-zone tube furnaces and single-temperature-zone fixed beds) can only complete a single process, and cannot realize five consecutive processes; if an "heating - cooling" alternating mode is used to adapt to different process temperature requirements, the problems of high energy consumption, cross-contamination of atmospheres, and poor coating uniformity will reappear. Therefore, a single-temperature-zone powder processing system that is simple in structure, controllable in cost, and compatible with five consecutive processes needs to be developed.
[0004] In addition, during the pyrolysis of silane, porous carbon has a wide range of applications in energy storage, electrochemistry, and electrocatalysis due to its high specific surface area and hierarchical pore structure. The micropores (<2 nm) in the porous carbon can provide a large number of active sites, but too fast clogging during the deposition process can hinder the transmission of the reaction gas to the interior, thereby affecting the uniform filling of the pores.
[0005] The common methods for introducing silane mainly include: (1) Continuous silane input under positive pressure: maintain a positive pressure condition (e.g. 1-3 bar) in the reaction chamber, input a high-speed fluidization gas flow to suspend the porous carbon particles, and continuously input silane at a set temperature until the reaction is completed. No vacuum pumping is performed during the entire process. This method is mainly aimed at uniform deposition on the surface of macroscopic particles in a fluidized state. However, the deposition rate at the micropore inlet is fast, the gas penetration is limited under positive pressure, and a blocking layer is easily formed, resulting in insufficient deposition of internal micropores and mesopores, which is not suitable for obtaining a high filling rate of a structure mainly composed of micropores and supplemented by mesopores.
[0006] (2) Uniformly input silane under negative pressure: divide the total silane gas amount into several batches, and pump the vacuum to 0.01-1.0 torr after the completion of each batch reaction to discharge the residual gas and by-products, and then input the next batch. This method can alleviate micropore blockage and improve filling uniformity, but the batch gas amount is fixed, the initial blockage is still significant, and the total number of batches is relatively large. SUMMARY

In the intermediate stage, the pressure in the reaction chamber after the mixed gas is cracked in each batch is not more than 1.5 atm, and the mass of the silane supplied in the intermediate stage is 70-90% of the total mass of the silane. In the later stage, the pressure in the reaction chamber after the mixed gas is cracked in each batch is not more than 3.0 atm, and the mass of the silane supplied in the later stage is 5-10% of the total mass of the silane.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: (1) Simplified structure and reduced cost: The single-temperature-zone design eliminates the need for heat insulation sealing and independent heating modules in the multi-temperature-zone system, and the device volume is reduced by 40-50% and the manufacturing cost is reduced by 30-40%.
[0016] (2) Energy consumption optimization: Precise temperature control and time-sequential gas source switching avoid repeated temperature rising and falling of multiple devices, and the total energy consumption is reduced by 25-35% compared with the traditional step-by-step process and by 10-15% compared with the multi-temperature-zone system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer and more apparent, the following embodiments will be further described in detail. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the application.
[0022] Example 1 The present embodiment provides a double-tapered rotary fluidization device for preparing a carbon-based silicon composite anode material, comprising: Reversible double-tapered cavity: such as Figure 1As shown, the reversible double-cone cavity includes a fluidization chamber 1, a deposition tank 2, and a gas guide pipe 5. The fluidization chamber 1 is a cylindrical box with open upper and lower ends. The settling channel penetrates the upper and lower end faces of the cylindrical box. The bowl mouths of the two bowl-shaped settling tanks 2 face the settling channel and symmetrically close the two ends of the settling channel, respectively. The two coaxial gas guide pipes 5 are connected to the outside of the fluidization chamber 1 symmetrically in the middle to form a reversible double-cone cavity. One gas guide pipe 5 is connected to the fluidization gas supply system for conveying fluidization gas containing precursor reaction gas into the fluidization chamber 1. The other gas guide pipe 5 is connected to the tail gas detection system and vacuum pump in sequence for discharging reaction tail gas. The connection parts of the gas guide pipe 5 and the fluidization chamber 1 are uniformly arranged with uniform flow holes 6 (pore size 2-3 mm) to ensure that the gas enters the settling channel uniformly. The two gas guide pipes 5 are controlled by a rotating mechanism to realize periodic rotation of the fluidization chamber 1 (rotation angle 30° each time, frequency 2 r / min) to assist axial transportation and particle size separation of the material. After rotation, the large-particle-size material preferentially settles in the lower deposition tank due to the fast settling speed, reducing the contact opportunity with the precursor gas. The small-particle-size material is suspended in the fluidization gas for continuous reaction until the standard is met, realizing accurate separation of “reaction degree-particle size”. During rotation, the material is gradually transported from the feeding end to the discharging end, further enhancing the dispersibility of the material and reducing agglomeration. The stirrer is arranged in the double-cone cavity. One end of the bowl of the other settling tank 2 is provided with a driving mechanism 4 and a vacuum-sealed feeding port. The driving mechanism 4 is pivotally connected to the stirrer 8. The conical surface of the other settling tank 2 is provided with a discharge valve 7 and a detachable quartz lining 6 mm. The discharge valve 7 can be arranged at different heights on the conical surface of the settling tank 2 for discharging powder particles at different depths in the settling tank 2. When the settling tank 2 rotates to the upper position with the fluidization chamber 1, the discharge valve 7 is also used to load the powder particles. The stirrer 8 is composed of a stirring rod and a spiral stirring blade. The stirrer can lift the material with large particle size at the bottom of the deposition tank to the upper part, while making the material with small particle size at the upper part flow to the bottom, thereby shortening the settling time of the large-particle-size material and prolonging the fluidization reaction time of the small-particle-size material.
[0023] The double-cone cavity adopts a double-cone 304 stainless steel cavity structure. The outer side of the double-cone cavity is arranged with resistance heating wires, which are wrapped with a heat preservation cotton composite structure. The heating power of the resistance heating wires is 10 kW, the temperature control range is 150-950℃, and the heating layer has a temperature control accuracy of ±3℃.
[0024] Gas supply pipeline: as Figures 2-3As shown, the five groups of gas supply lines include carbonization gas line 11 (nitrogen / argon is supplied in continuous flow control mode during the carbonization stage), activation gas line 12 (CO2 / H2O is supplied in pulse flow control mode during the activation stage), silicon deposition gas line 13 (mixed gas containing silane and inert gas is supplied in stages based on flow closed-loop control during the silicon deposition stage), carbon coating gas line 14 (mixed gas containing acetylene and nitrogen is supplied in continuous flow control mode during the carbon coating stage), and ALD gas line 15 (trimethylaluminum and water vapor are supplied in pulse flow control mode during the ALD passivation stage); the five groups of gas supply lines are connected to main gas channel 16, and each is provided with an electromagnetic reversing valve group, and the end of main gas channel 16 extends to gas guide pipe 5; among them, silicon deposition gas line 13 is provided with a leak detection sensor with a response time ≤1 s; ALD gas line 15 is provided with a low-temperature insulation jacket, and the temperature is controlled at 20-30 ℃; in addition to carbonization gas line 11, each group of gas supply lines is provided with a check valve and an emergency shut-off valve; before switching the gas supply line, the main gas channel is purged for 30-60 s through the general carbonization gas line 11 to prevent cross contamination. The general carbonization gas line 11 supplies inert gases such as nitrogen or argon, and the constant pressure control is 0.1-0.2 Mpa.
[0025] The temperature control module automatically adjusts the power of the resistance heating wire according to the temperature target value set for different process stages using the "PID + fuzzy control" algorithm. When the double-cone cavity is in the carbonization stage, the resistance heating wire increases the power to raise the temperature of the double-cone cavity to 600-800℃. When the double-cone cavity is in the activation stage, the resistance heating wire increases the power to raise the temperature of the double-cone cavity to 850-900℃. When the double-cone cavity is in the silicon deposition stage, the resistance heating wire reduces the power to lower the temperature of the double-cone cavity to 350-450℃. When the double-cone cavity is in the carbon coating stage, the resistance heating wire reduces the power to lower the temperature of the double-cone cavity to 300-350℃. When the double-cone cavity is in the ALD passivation stage, the resistance heating wire reduces the power to lower the temperature of the double-cone cavity to 200-250℃. The temperature control module is linked with the electromagnetic reversing valve group of the gas supply line to ensure that the temperature of the double-cone cavity reaches the temperature target value of the selected process stage before starting the corresponding gas supply line, avoiding side reactions caused by mismatch between temperature and gas supply line.
[0026] The tail gas detection system includes a linearity particle size analyzer, a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and a differential electrochemical mass spectrometer. The linearity particle size analyzer is used to monitor the particle size of the material in real time with an accuracy of ±5 μm. The gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer is used to monitor the atmosphere composition in the double-cone cavity to prevent the accumulation of impurity gases. The differential electrochemical mass spectrometer is used to monitor the reaction tail gas to judge the reaction progress.
[0027] Temperature sensors are distributed at different positions of the double-cone cavity to provide real-time feedback of temperature data. All monitoring data are transmitted to the central control system to achieve closed-loop control of process parameters.
[0028] The installation of the discharge valve 7 at different heights outside the settling tank 2 is provided with a grading screen assembly (using a screen with adjustable aperture, aperture 100 μm), which can screen qualified materials according to the particle size requirements of the ALD passivation stage, and the unqualified materials are returned to the cavity through the reflux pipe for reprocessing.
[0029] Example 2 Based on the double-cone rotary fluidized device of Example 1, the present embodiment provides a method for preparing a carbon-based silicon composite negative electrode material, comprising the following steps: The double-cone cavity is filled with biomass raw materials, and the gas in the double-cone cavity is replaced with nitrogen / argon; The temperature of the double-cone cavity is increased to 600-800℃, the carbonization gas path 11 supplies nitrogen / argon to the double-cone cavity at a flow rate of 500-1000sccm, and the double-cone cavity is flipped at a frequency of 2 times / min to start the carbonization stage. When the differential electrochemical mass spectrometer detects that the volatile organic compounds in the tail gas are ≤0.1wt%, the carbonization is completed, and the carbonization time is 1-2h; The temperature of the double-cone cavity is increased to 850-900℃, the activation gas path 12 supplies CO2 / H2O in a pulse flow control mode at a flow rate of 300sccm, and the pulse interval is 10s. The double-cone cavity is flipped at a frequency of 2 times / min to start the activation stage. When the line particle size instrument detects that the specific surface area of the particulate matter in the tail gas reaches 1500-1800m 2 / g, the activation stage is ended, and the time is 0.5-1h; The temperature of the double-cone cavity is decreased to 350-450℃, and the carbonization gas path 11 supplies nitrogen / argon to the double-cone cavity for 30-60s of purging. Then, the deposition of silicon stage is started. The vacuum pump evacuates the double-cone cavity to 0.01-0.05torr. Under negative pressure, multiple batches of mixed gas containing silane are introduced to deposit Si in three stages. The amount of silane introduced in each batch and the total amount of silane introduced in each stage are set according to the stage. Each batch of mixed gas also contains an inert gas, and the mass of the inert gas introduced in each batch is half of the mass of the silane. Each batch is heated and pressure-maintained for reaction. After each batch is reacted, the vacuum is pumped to the initial pressure of 0.01-0.05torr. The double-cone cavity is flipped at a frequency of 1r / min. When the silane is completely introduced, the deposition of silicon stage is terminated, and the silicon deposition time is 2-3h; The temperature of the double-cone cavity is decreased to 300-350℃, and the carbonization gas path 11 supplies nitrogen / argon to the double-cone cavity for 30-60s of purging of the main gas path. Then, the carbon coating stage is started. The carbon coating gas path 14 supplies a mixed gas containing acetylene and nitrogen to the double-cone cavity. The flow rate of acetylene is 300-800sccm. The double-cone cavity is flipped at a frequency of 1.5 times / min. The carbon coating time is 1-2h; The temperature of the double-cone cavity is reduced to 200°C, and the carbonization gas path 11 supplies nitrogen / argon to the double-cone cavity for 30-60 s to purge the main gas channel 30, and then the ALD passivation stage begins, the ALD gas path 15 and the carbonization gas path 11 alternately supply trimethylaluminum and water vapor and nitrogen / argon to the double-cone cavity, each cycle is 8-10 s, wherein the pulse flow control mode is adopted to supply trimethylaluminum and water vapor (trimethylaluminum pulse 100-150 ms - water pulse 100-150 ms), the inert gas supplied by the carbonization gas path 11 has a blowing time of 4-5 s, and the double-cone cavity is flipped at a frequency of 11 times / min, until the differential electrochemical mass spectrometer reaches a particle coating thickness of 2 nm in the tail gas, the ALD passivation stage is ended, and the completion time is 1-1.5 h.
[0030] In the deposition silicon stage, the total mass of silane introduced is 98%~102% of the mass of the porous carbon material (100 kg after the activation stage), and the three stages include a preliminary stage, an intermediate stage, and a late stage. In the preliminary stage, the pressure in the reaction chamber after the mixed gas is cracked is not more than 0.5 atm, and the mass of silane introduced in the preliminary stage is not more than 20% of the total mass of silane. In the intermediate stage, the pressure in the reaction chamber after the mixed gas is cracked is not more than 1.5 atm, and the mass of silane introduced in the intermediate stage is 70~90% of the total mass of silane. In the late stage, the pressure in the reaction chamber after the mixed gas is cracked is not more than 3.0 atm, and the mass of silane introduced in the late stage is 5~10% of the total mass of silane.
[0031] Preliminary stage: 3.97 mol of silane is introduced per batch, a total of 63 batches (8% of batches), the silane and nitrogen are uniformly mixed in a mass ratio of 2:1 before being introduced, the reaction chamber pressure is not higher than 0.5 atm, and the pressure is maintained for 1 minute, each batch is vacuumed to the initial pressure of 0.05 torr after reaction to inhibit the blockage of micropore inlets. In the preliminary stage, 3.97 mol of silane and 2.27 mol of nitrogen are introduced into the reaction chamber per batch, and the pressure in the reaction chamber after 98% of the silane is cracked is 0.5 atm. Effect: low-dose dilution to inhibit rapid deposition at the pore inlets.
[0032] Intermediate stage: 11.92 mol of silane is introduced per batch, a total of 215 batches (82.1% of batches), the silane and nitrogen are mixed in a mass ratio of 2:1 before being introduced, the reaction chamber pressure is increased to 1.5 atm, and the pressure is maintained for 1 minute to accelerate internal filling. In the intermediate stage, 11.92 mol of silane and 6.81 mol of nitrogen are introduced into the reaction chamber per batch, and the pressure in the reaction chamber after 98% of the silane is cracked is 1.5 atm. Each batch is allowed to stand for 1 minute after reaction, and the vacuum is applied within 1 minute after reaction to the initial pressure (6.7 Pa). Effect: increase the gas volume to accelerate internal filling.
[0033] Late stage: temperature decreased by 20℃ to 430℃, 23.84 mol of silane was introduced into the reaction chamber for each batch, a total of 13 batches (9.9% of the batches), the silane was mixed with nitrogen gas at a mass ratio of 2:1 before being introduced into the reaction chamber, the pressure in the reaction chamber was controlled at 3 atm, and the pressure was maintained for 1 minute to prevent excessive deposition on the outer surface. 23.84 mol of silane and 13.42 mol of nitrogen gas were introduced into the reaction chamber for each batch in the late stage, and the pressure in the reaction chamber after 98% of the silane was cracked was 3 atm. Each batch was allowed to stand for 1 minute, and the vacuum was drawn to the initial pressure (6.7 Pa) within 1 minute after the reaction. Function: prevent excessive deposition on the outer surface.
[0034] Throughout the process, the amount of silane and inert gas introduced into each batch was strictly controlled to ensure that the total pressure in the chamber after cracking did not exceed 3 atm, and the vacuum degree was reached within 1 minute after the reaction was completed.
[0035] Total batch number = 63 + 215 + 13 = 291 batches.
[0036] Total reaction time = 63 x 2 + 215 x 2 + 13 x 2 = 582 min ≈ 9.7 hours.
[0037] From Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the morphology and size of the sample particles, the surface is polyhedral block, the edge is sharp, and there are obvious pores between the particles. And Si is uniformly distributed in the porous carbon, representing higher uniform filling rate of micropores and mesopores, and the pore blocking phenomenon is significantly reduced. Combined with the examples and comparative examples, it can be found that by using three-stage batch injection, the uniform filling rate of micropores and mesopores is higher, and the pore blocking phenomenon is significantly reduced, and the reaction time is increased.
[0038] Although the above examples have described the present application and its embodiments in detail, it should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, simplifications, etc. of the corresponding conditions can also be made, which should be considered as equivalent replacement methods, and these improvements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
