[0003] Silicon-based materials have attracted attention due to their much higher capacity than carbon-based materials. However, silicon-based materials undergo a huge volume change (>300%) during charging and discharging, which will cause material structure damage, particle pulverization, and thus lead to rapid decay of electrode capacity and even electrode failure. Therefore, silicon-based materials are often used in combination with carbon-based materials during the production of electrode sheets. The commonly used is a hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material (hereinafter referred to as a silicon-carbon composite material), that is, amorphous nano-silicon particles are distributed in a biomass porous carbon matrix, the pores of the biomass porous carbon provide space for the expansion of the silicon particles, and can inhibit the contact between silicon and electrolyte, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, and prolong the cycle life of the silicon-based negative electrode. However, the current silicon-carbon composite material has problems of being unable to balance the cycle performance and energy density in actual battery applications. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application is carried out in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a biomass porous carbon and a preparation method thereof, a silicon-carbon composite material and a preparation method thereof, a secondary battery, a battery module, a battery pack and a power utilization device, which can improve the problem of being unable to balance the cycle performance and energy density of the silicon-carbon composite material in actual battery applications.

[0012] Therefore, the biomass porous carbon provided by the present application has good activation uniformity and good powder compaction density. The good activation uniformity makes the activation degree of different particles of the biomass carbonized material comparable, so that when the biomass carbonized material is applied to the hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of silicon particle deposition, thereby being beneficial to improve the battery cycle life.

Wrapping the carbon coating layer on the surface of the body can not only close the pores to become closed pores, so that the external electrolyte cannot enter the internal pores, and reduce the specific surface area, reduce the loss of active lithium when the SEI film is formed on the surface of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, but also prevent the capacity loss caused by the oxidation of silicon on the surface of the material from causing the first coulombic efficiency of the battery to decrease and other problems.
[0022] In any embodiment, the silicon-carbon composite material has a powder resistance of 4 Ω·cm-100 Ω·cm at 4 MPa. Controlling the powder resistance within the above range makes the battery using the silicon-carbon composite material have low DCR and good rate performance.

Furthermore, the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to fully understand this application and are not intended to limit the subject matter of the claims.
[0045] The ranges disclosed herein are meant to be inclusive of the endpoints and include the end values in the range. Ranges can be combined to form new ranges, e.g., a range of "60-120 and 80-110" is understood to include 60-110 and 80-120.

For example, the numerical range "0-5" means that all real numbers between 0 and 5 have been listed herein, and "0-5" is merely a shorthand for listing all of those numbers.

For example, a method comprising steps (a) and (b) means that the method can comprise steps (a) and (b) in sequence, or steps (b) and (a) in sequence. For example, it is mentioned that the method can further comprise step (c), which means that step (c) can be added to the method in any order, for example, the method can comprise steps (a), (b) and (c), or steps (a), (c) and (b), or steps (c), (a) and (b), etc.

For example, "including" and "comprising" can mean that other components not listed can also be included or contained, or only the listed components can be included or contained.
[0050] If not specifically stated, the term "or" is inclusive in this application. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B." More specifically, any of the following satisfy the condition "A or B": A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present); A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present); or both A and B are true (or present).
[0051] The main factor affecting the poor cycle performance of the hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material in actual battery applications is the selection of the biomass porous carbon substrate. The hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material with a resin-based carbon substrate generally has better cycle performance. If a biomass-based carbon substrate is used, it is easy to cause the cycle performance of the battery to decrease. Therefore, how to effectively improve the problem of the poor cycle performance of the hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material with a biomass-based carbon substrate as the biomass porous carbon substrate in actual battery applications is a difficulty.
[0052] One of the main factors affecting the cycle performance of silicon in silicon-carbon composite materials in actual battery applications is that the silicon in the silicon-carbon composite material is uniformly distributed at a suitable proportion. Since the preparation process of the silicon-carbon composite material is carried out at high temperature in a reactor, the heat distribution between the inside of the reactor and the shell is inevitably uneven. At the same time, the thermal capacity difference between the dense and sparse regions of the particles also causes uneven heat distribution. Therefore, different thermal zones exist in the reactor. The carbon materials with similar porosities and similar densities are distributed in the same thermal zone, that is, the particle distribution concentration is high, and the deposition uniformity between the particles is improved. Among them, the prepared biomass porous carbon can be classified to obtain carbon materials with similar porosities and similar densities. However, this method has the problems of low compaction density of the prepared carbon material powder, high difficulty and cost of screening.
[0053] Based on this, the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a preparation method of biomass porous carbon, which comprises: activating and washing the biomass carbonized material with 0.8 μm≤Dn10≤2 μm and 0.8≤(Dv90-Dv10) / Dv50≤1.5.
[0054] It can be understood that the biomass carbonized material refers to the process of slow decomposition of biomass material under oxygen-free (such as vacuum atmosphere), oxygen-deficient or inert atmosphere (such as nitrogen or argon atmosphere) to produce solid coke, wherein the solid coke is the biomass carbonized material in the present application. The biomass material refers to various organisms produced by photosynthesis. Representative biomass materials include but are not limited to crop straw, rice husk, sawdust, and shells of various plants, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0055] The activation treatment is used to expand the pore structure formed by the carbonization process in the biomass carbonization material and form new pores, so as to optimize the pore structure and pore distribution. In the process of activation treatment, part of the large particles can be broken to produce small particles.
[0056] The washing is used to remove impurities, wherein the washing includes but is not limited to: first using acid washing to remove organic matter, etc., then using alkaline aqueous solution to adjust pH and then washing to neutral, or directly washing to neutral after acid washing. The acid washing method includes but is not limited to soaking or rinsing, and the acid used in the acid washing includes but is not limited to hydrochloric acid or permanganic acid, etc.
[0057] Dn10, Dv10, Dv50 and Dv90 all have the meanings known in the art, and can be tested by the methods known in the art. For example, a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring instrument is used to measure according to the particle size distribution laser diffraction method (for details, refer to GB / T19077-2016). Dn10 refers to the particle size when the cumulative number of particles is 10% from the small particle size in the particle size distribution measurement by laser scattering method. Dv10 refers to the particle size when the cumulative volume is 10% from the small diameter in the particle size distribution measurement by laser scattering method, Dv50 refers to the particle size when the cumulative volume is 50% from the small diameter in the particle size distribution measurement by laser scattering method, and Dv90 refers to the particle size when the cumulative volume is 90% from the small diameter in the particle size distribution measurement by laser scattering method.
[0058] (Dv90-Dv10) / Dv50 represents the particle size distribution width, also known as the diameter distance.
[0059] The preparation method of the biomass carbonization material 0.8≤Diameter≤1.5 and 0.8 μm≤Dn10≤2 μm, and then the biomass carbonization material is activated and washed. On the one hand, by pre-limiting the diameter and Dn10 of the biomass carbonization material in the above range, the biomass carbonization material that is too large or too small is removed, the difference between the biomass carbonization materials is reduced, and the particles of different sizes are uniformly distributed, so that the activation uniformity of the biomass carbonization material after activation can be effectively improved, the activation degree of different particles of the biomass carbonization material is equivalent, and when the biomass carbonization material is applied to the hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material, the uniformity of the silicon particle deposition is improved, and the battery cycle life is improved. On the other hand, since the present application adopts screening before activation, the activated biomass porous carbon can be obtained without further classification, the yield is higher than that of the screening method after activation, the production cost is effectively reduced, and since the particles of the biomass carbonization material are large and small and the activation process also causes a certain degree of crushing, the final prepared biomass porous carbon has particles of different sizes with appropriate particle size, so that the powder compaction density can be effectively improved based on the compounding of particles of different sizes, and the battery energy density is improved.
[0060] Exemplarily, the Dn10 of the biomass carbonization material is any one of 0.8 μm, 1.0 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.7 μm, 2.0 μm or between any two values.
[0061] Exemplarily, the diameter of the biomass carbonization material is any one of 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or between any two values.
[0062] In summary, the preparation method provided by the present application can effectively improve the activation uniformity and powder compaction density of the biomass carbonization material by controlling the pre-screening to obtain 0.8 μm≤Dn10≤2 μm, 0.8≤(Dv90-Dv10) / Dv50≤1.5, and then activating the biomass carbonization material. When the biomass carbonization material is applied to the hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material, it is not only beneficial to improve the uniformity of the silicon particle deposition and improve the battery cycle life, but also beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery. It can be understood that the preparation method also includes drying and washing the biomass carbonization material.
[0063] In some embodiments, the biomass carbonization material has 0.8≤(Dv90-Dv10) / Dv50≤1.2.
[0064] Controlling the diameter of the biomass carbonization material in the above range is beneficial to further improve the activation uniformity of the biomass carbonization material and improve the battery cycle life.
[0065] Exemplarily, the diameter of the biomass carbonized material is any one of 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or between any two values.
[0066] In some embodiments, before the activation treatment, the preparation method comprises: pre-carbonizing the biomass material at 400-700°C, then sintering at 800-1000°C, crushing and sieving to obtain the biomass carbonized material.
[0067] Through pre-carbonization and sintering, carbonization of the biomass material is achieved, which refers to a process of slow decomposition of the biomass material under the action of heat in an oxygen-free (such as a vacuum atmosphere), oxygen-deficient or inert atmosphere (such as an atmosphere of nitrogen or argon) to produce solid coke.
[0068] Through pre-carbonization and sintering in combination and controlling the temperature of both to achieve carbonization, not only the carbonization effect is good, but also the yield is improved.
[0069] Exemplarily, the temperature of pre-carbonization is any one of 400°C, 450°C, 500°C, 550°C, 600°C, 650°C, 700°C or between any two values.
[0070] Optionally, the temperature of pre-carbonization is 400-600°C. Exemplarily, the temperature of sintering is any one of 800°C, 850°C, 900°C, 950°C, 1000°C or between any two values.
[0071] The upper limit of the total carbonization time of pre-carbonization and sintering can include ten hours, and the lower limit of the total carbonization time can be any time as long as the biomass material is reliably carbonized.
[0072] It should be noted that before carbonizing the biomass material, it also includes selecting a suitable biomass raw material according to actual needs, then placing the biomass raw material in a drying oven for drying treatment to control the water content, then stirring and crushing the dried single biomass raw material with a pulverizer or stirring and crushing the dried multiple biomass raw materials with a pulverizer, then sieving to obtain a powdered biomass material for carbonization, wherein the particle size range of the powdered biomass material for carbonization can be selected according to actual needs.
[0073] The activation treatment method can include a gas activation method and a chemical activation treatment.
[0074] The chemical activation method refers to activation by using chemical activators such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, zinc chloride, iron chloride, calcium phosphate, calcium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sulfuric acid, etc. The specific operation can refer to related technologies.
[0075] The gas activation method refers to: using oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide gas, air and the like as an activation agent, heating the biomass carbonization material at 700-1400°C, optionally 700-1100°C for tens of minutes to several hours in this atmosphere, thereby forming fine structures of volatile components or carbon molecules in the biomass carbonization material.
[0076] In some embodiments, the activation treatment comprises: mixing the activation agent and the biomass carbonization material, and performing the activation treatment at 900-1100°C.
[0077] The activation agent comprises at least one of oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide gas, air, and potassium hydroxide.
[0078] It should be noted that the activation temperature can be appropriately adjusted within the range of 900-1100°C based on the type of biomass material, the type of gas, the concentration of the gas, and the like.
[0079] The above activation treatment has good effects and can further sinter and carbonize the biomass carbonization material.
[0080] For example, the temperature of the activation treatment is any one of 900°C, 920°C, 950°C, 980°C, 1000°C, 1020°C, 1050°C, 1080°C, 1100°C or between any two values.
[0081] The second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a biomass porous carbon, the pore volume deviation of the biomass porous carbon is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 0.1 cm 3 / g, and the powder compaction density of the biomass porous carbon at 5T is 0.55-1.2 g / cm 3 .
[0082] The pore volume deviation refers to grading the biomass porous carbon according to the Dv50 range to obtain multiple samples with different Dv50 ranges, obtaining the pore volumes between the samples, and expressing the pore volume deviation between any two samples as the pore volume difference between the two samples.
[0083] It can be understood that the pore volume deviation of the biomass porous carbon is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 0.1 cm 3 / g refers to: after grading, the pore volume difference between different samples needs to be greater than or equal to 0 and less than 0.1 cm 3 / g.
[0084] The pore volume deviation is used to characterize the activation uniformity of the biomass porous carbon, wherein the smaller the pore volume deviation, the higher the activation uniformity of the biomass porous carbon.
[0085] The biomass porous carbon provided in the application has preferable activation uniformity and preferable powder compaction density. The preferable activation uniformity makes the activation degree of different particles of the biomass carbonization material comparable, which is conducive to improving the uniformity of silicon particle deposition when the biomass porous carbon is applied to a hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material, and thus is conducive to improving the battery cycle life. The preferable powder compaction density is conducive to improving the battery energy density when the biomass porous carbon is applied to the hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material.
[0086] For example, the pore volume deviation of the biomass porous carbon is any value or between any two values in the range of 0, 0.01 cm 3 / g, 0.03 cm 3 / g, 0.05 cm 3 / g, 0.08 cm 3 / g, 0.10 cm 3 / g.
[0087] For example, the powder compaction density of the biomass porous carbon at 5T is any value or between any two values in the range of 0.55 g / cm 3 , 0.58 g / cm 3 , 0.60 g / cm 3 , 0.63 g / cm 3 , 0.65 g / cm 3 , 0.68 g / cm 3 , 0.70 g / cm 3 , 0.73 g / cm 3 , 0.75 g / cm 3 , 0.78 g / cm 3 , 0.80 g / cm 3 , 0.85 g / cm 3 , 0.90 g / cm 3 , 0.95 g / cm 3 , 1.00 g / cm 3 , 1.05 g / cm 3 , 1.10 g / cm 3 , 1.15 g / cm 3 , 1.20 g / cm 3 .
[0088] In some embodiments, the pore volume deviation of the biomass porous carbon is ≤0.05 cm 3 / g.
[0089] The pore volume deviation of the biomass porous carbon is controlled within the above range, which can further optimize the activation uniformity of the biomass porous carbon, make the activation degree of different particles of the biomass carbonization material more comparable, and when the biomass porous carbon is applied to the hollow porous structure silicon-carbon composite material, it is beneficial to further improve the uniformity of silicon particle deposition, and thus further improve the battery cycle life.
[0090] Exemplarily, the pore volume deviation of the biomass porous carbon is any value or between any two values in 0, 0.01 cm 3 / g, 0.02 cm 3 / g, 0.03 cm 3 / g, 0.04 cm 3 / g, 0.05 cm 3 / g.
[0091] In some embodiments, the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon is 0.5 cm 3 / g-0.8 cm 3 / g; and / or,
[0092] The specific surface area of the biomass porous carbon is 1600 m 2 / g-1850 m 2 / g.
[0093] The pore volume refers to the total volume of pores per unit mass of biomass porous carbon. The test method of the pore volume is nitrogen BET-full pore test.
[0094] The specific surface area is tested by gas adsorption method, and is tested by BET method according to GB / T 19587-2017 test standard.
[0095] It can be understood that the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon corresponds to the deposition amount of silicon particles. Therefore, by limiting the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon to 0.5 cm 3 / g-0.8 cm 3 / g, it is beneficial to deposit a target amount of silicon in the biomass porous carbon to improve the capacity of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, and after the silicon is deposited to the target amount, the biomass porous carbon still has sufficient pores to buffer the volume expansion caused by the silicon particles, thereby improving the initial discharge capacity and cycle performance of the battery.
[0096] Exemplarily, the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon is any value or between any two values in 0.5 cm 3 / g, 0.6 cm 3 / g, 0.7 cm 3 / g, 0.8 cm 3 / g.
[0097] The specific surface area range is conducive to the deposition of silicon particles in the pores of the biomass porous carbon, and is conducive to improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0098] For example, the specific surface area of the biomass porous carbon is 1600 m 2 / g, 1650 m 2 / g, 1680 m 2 / g, 1700 m 2 / g, 1730 m 2 / g, 1750 m 2 / g, 1780 m 2 / g, 1800 m 2 / g, 1830 m 2 / g, 1850 m 2 / g, or between any two values.
[0099] The third aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a silicon-carbon composite material, which comprises the biomass porous carbon prepared by the preparation method of the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application or the biomass porous carbon of the second aspect of the embodiments of the present application, and silicon particles attached to the pore wall of the biomass porous carbon.
[0100] It can be understood that the silicon particles attached to the pore wall of the biomass porous carbon means that the silicon particles are attached to the pore wall of the biomass porous carbon and the space of the pores is not filled with the silicon particles. That is, the biomass porous carbon with the silicon particles attached to the pore wall still has certain pores, which reserve space for the expansion of the silicon particles and inhibit the contact between the silicon and the electrolyte, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, and prolong the cycle life of the silicon-based negative electrode.
[0101] The silicon-carbon composite material provided by the present application uses biomass carbon with uniform activation and high powder compaction density as a substrate, which is not only conducive to improving the uniformity of silicon particle deposition, but also conducive to improving the cycle life of the battery when the silicon-carbon composite material is applied to the battery, and conducive to improving the energy density of the battery.
[0102] In the preparation process of the silicon-carbon composite material, the silicon particles can be deposited in the biomass porous carbon by using a chemical vapor deposition method in a heating chamber of a gas phase deposition furnace, or the silicon particles can be deposited in the biomass porous carbon by using a gas phase deposition method in a gas fluidized bed.
[0103] In some embodiments, the silicon-carbon composite material satisfies at least one of (a1)-(a2):
[0104] (a1) the volume of the silicon particles accounts for 40%-60% of the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon;
[0105] When the proportion of the silicon particles is too small, the large specific surface area of the residual porous carbon substrate affects the first coulomb efficiency of the material. When the proportion of the silicon particles is too large, the surface rich in silicon leads to a large degree of attenuation in long-term cycles.
[0106] Therefore, by limiting the volume proportion of the silicon particles to the pore volume proportion of the biomass porous carbon, the pores of the biomass porous carbon after the silicon particles are attached to the pore wall can be controlled, so that the silicon-carbon composite material is beneficial to improve the cycle life of the battery when applied to the battery.
[0107] Exemplarily, the volume proportion of the silicon particles to the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon is any one of 40%, 42%, 45%, 47%, 50%, 53%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60% or between any two values.
[0108] (a2) The mass percentage of the silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon is 42%-52%.
[0109] By limiting the mass percentage of the silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon within the above range, the silicon-carbon composite material is beneficial to improve the cycle life of the battery when applied to the battery.
[0110] Exemplarily, the mass percentage of the silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon is any one of 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52% or between any two values.
[0111] Alternatively, the mass percentage of the silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon is 42%-52%.
[0112] In some embodiments, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material further comprises a carbon coating layer coated on the body with the biomass porous carbon and the silicon particles as the body.
[0113] Since the silicon particles have high activity, the carbon coating layer is used to wrap the surface of the body, which on one hand closes the pores to become closed pores, so that the external electrolyte cannot enter the internal pores, and reduces the specific surface area, reduces the loss of active lithium when the SEI film is formed on the surface of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, and on the other hand, can prevent the capacity loss caused by the oxidation of silicon on the surface of the material from causing the first coulomb efficiency of the battery to decrease and other problems.
[0114] The thickness of the carbon coating layer can be limited according to actual needs, and exemplarily, the thickness of the carbon coating layer is 0.5-40 nm.
[0115] In some embodiments, the silicon-carbon composite material has a powder resistance of 4Ω-100Ω at 4Mpa.
[0116] Controlling the powder resistance of the silicon-carbon composite material within the above range allows the battery using the silicon-carbon composite material to have low DCR and good rate performance.
[0117] For example, the silicon-carbon composite material has a powder resistance of any one of 4 Ω·cm, 10 Ω·cm, 30 Ω·cm, 50 Ω·cm, 70 Ω·cm, 90 Ω·cm, 100 Ω·cm or between any two values at 4 MPa.
[0118] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a silicon-carbon composite material, and a preparation method of the silicon-carbon composite material includes: introducing the biomass porous carbon prepared by the preparation method of the first aspect of the present application or the biomass porous carbon of the second aspect of the present application into a fluidized bed reactor, and depositing under the conditions that the mass concentration of the silicon source gas is 8%-18%, the superficial gas velocity is 0.03 m / s-0.07 m / s, and the deposition temperature is 500°C-700°C.
[0119] The silicon source gas includes a silane hydrocarbon.
[0120] The silane hydrocarbon includes but is not limited to one or more of silane, dichlorosilane, trichlorosilane, and tetrachlorosilane.
[0121] The above preparation method is beneficial to the uniform deposition of silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon material, and is beneficial to further improving the uniformity of the deposition of silicon particles, so that the silicon-carbon composite material is beneficial to improving the cycle life of the battery when applied to the battery.
[0122] For example, the mass concentration of the silicon source gas is any one of 8%, 10%, 13%, 15%, 18% or between any two values, the superficial gas velocity is any one of 0.03 m / s, 0.04 m / s, 0.05 m / s, 0.06 m / s, 0.07 m / s or between any two values, and the deposition temperature is any one of 500°C, 550°C, 600°C, 650°C, 700°C or between any two values.
[0123] When the biomass porous carbon and the silicon particles are collectively used as the body, and the silicon-carbon negative electrode material further includes a carbon coating layer coated on the body, the preparation method of the carbon coating layer includes but is not limited to: placing the body in a mixed gas atmosphere of a carbon source and an inert gas, and pyrolyzing the carbon source to form a carbon coating layer coated on the body, wherein the carbon source includes one or more of alkane, alkyne, and alkene. The inert gas includes but is not limited to nitrogen or argon. The alkane includes but is not limited to methane, the alkene includes but is not limited to ethylene, and the alkyne includes but is not limited to acetylene.

[0235] Comparative Example 1
[0236] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is only:
[0237] In the preparation process of the biomass porous carbon, the biomass material is pre-carbonized at 500°C under a nitrogen atmosphere, sintered at 900°C, and then directly activated in steam at 900°C for 3h after being broken. The obtained product is cooled at room temperature, soaked in potassium permanganate for 24h, washed with distilled water until neutral, and dried. (That is, Comparative Example 1 does not perform a classification treatment)
[0238] Among them, Figure 1 is the SEM image of the biomass porous carbon prepared in Example 1, Figure 2 is the SEM image of the biomass porous carbon prepared in Comparative Example 1. It can be seen that both of them are composed of particles with different particle sizes, but the gap between the particles in Example 1 is obviously smaller than that in Comparative Example 1.
[0239] The biomass porous carbon prepared in Comparative Example 1 was fractionated using the same fractionation process as Example 1 to obtain fine powder (Dv50: 2.5-4 μm), intermediate material (Dv50: 6-9 μm), and coarse powder (Dv50: 11-13 μm), and the Dv10, Dv50, Dv90, BET, span, and pore volume of the fine powder, intermediate material, and coarse powder were tested and obtained, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0240] wherein, Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a SEM image of the coarse powder of the biomass porous carbon prepared in Comparative Example 1 after fractionation, and it can be seen that the particle size is uniform.
[0241] The biomass porous carbon prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was fractionated using the fractionation process to obtain fine powder (Dv50: 2.5-4 μm), intermediate material (Dv50: 6-9 μm), and coarse powder (Dv50: 11-13 μm), and the Dv10, Dv50, Dv90, BET, span, and pore volume of the fine powder, intermediate material, and coarse powder were tested and obtained, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0242] Table 1: Results of the parameters of the biomass porous carbon in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1
[0243]
[0244] As can be seen from Table 2, the pore volume deviation of any two fractionated samples of the fine powder, intermediate material, and coarse powder in Example 1 is less than 0.05 cm 3 / g, and the pore volume deviation of the fine powder and intermediate material in Comparative Example 1 is as high as 0.128 cm 3 / g, and the pore volume deviation between the fine powder and coarse powder is as high as 0.201 cm 3 / g.
[0245] That is, the activation uniformity of the biomass porous carbon prepared in Example 1 is significantly higher than that of the biomass porous carbon in Comparative Example 1.
[0246] Since the raw material in Comparative Example 1 was not fractionated before activation, the fine powder and large particles were more, resulting in that the median particle size of the fine powder after fractionation of Comparative Example 1 was smaller than that of the fine powder of the present application, and the median particle size of the intermediate material was larger, so it was assumed that the fine powder and coarse powder in Comparative Example 1 were removed and only the intermediate material was retained, although a sample with high activation uniformity could be obtained, but since the span of the intermediate material in Comparative Example 1 was too narrow, the powder compaction density of the obtained mixture would be significantly lower than that of Example 1, and the raw material utilization rate was low, and the cost was high.
[0247] That is, the biomass porous carbon prepared in Example 1 not only has high activation uniformity, but also has high powder compaction density, which is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery.
[0248] wherein, Figure 1 SEM image of the biomass porous carbon prepared in Example 1, Figure 2 SEM image of the biomass porous carbon prepared in Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that both are composed of particles of different particle sizes, but the gap between the particles of Example 1 is obviously smaller than that of Comparative Example 1.
[0249] Figure 4 1k times particle cross-section backscattering image of the silicon-carbon composite material prepared in Example 1, Figure 5 1k times particle cross-section backscattering image of the silicon-carbon composite material prepared in Comparative Example 1, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The brighter in the middle represents the higher atomic number, Figure 4 , 5 The whiter in the middle is the silicon-carbon with silicon deposited, and the darker is the biomass porous carbon without silicon deposited or with a small amount of silicon deposited. According to Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the silicon deposition of the silicon-carbon composite material of Example 1 is more uniform than that of Comparative Example 1.
[0250] Examples 2-11 and Comparative Example 2
[0251] The difference between Example 2-10 and Example 1 is only that the preparation parameters of the silicon-carbon composite material are shown in Table 2 as follows.
[0252] Among them, the difference between Example 2-7 and Example 1 is only that the Dn10 and the diameter interval of the biomass carbonized material are different.
[0253] Examples 8-10 use the biomass carbonized material prepared in Example 1 to prepare the silicon-carbon composite material, and the difference is only that the volume of the silicon particles accounts for the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon and the mass percentage of the silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon is different.
[0254] The difference between Example 11 and Example 1 is only that KOH is used instead of water vapor as the activating agent during the activation treatment.
[0255] Comparative Example 2 uses resin-based porous carbon instead of biomass porous carbon.
[0256] Among them, the differences between the biomass carbonized materials, porous carbons, and prepared carbon composite materials in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 2.
[0257] Table 2. Comparison of biomass carbonization material, porous carbon silicon and carbon composite material prepared in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-2
[0258]
[0259]
[0260] In Table 2, the porous carbon of Examples 1-11, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Examples 3-6 is biomass porous carbon, and the porous carbon of Comparative Example 2 is resin-based porous carbon.
[0261] As can be seen from Table 2, the selection of biomass carbonization material will affect the parameters of the prepared porous carbon and the parameters and performance of the silicon-carbon composite material.
[0262] The batteries prepared in Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested for performance, and the performance test method was as follows:
[0263] (1) Secondary battery cycle test method:
[0264] The secondary batteries prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples were charged at 1C rate to the charge cut-off voltage V1 at 5°C, then charged at constant voltage to the current ≤0.05C, rested for 5 min, discharged at 0.33C rate to the discharge cut-off voltage V2, rested for 5 min, which was one charge-discharge cycle. The battery was tested for cycle charge-discharge according to this method until the battery capacity decayed to 80%.
[0265] (2) Button cell initial efficiency test method:
[0266] After the assembled button cell was rested for 60 min, it was tested by the process of 0.05C constant current discharge to 5mV, 50μA discharge to 5mV, rested for 10 min, and 0.1C charge to 0.8V, wherein the delithiation capacity of 0.8V represents the capacity size of the silicon-carbon material, and the initial efficiency % = 0.08V delithiation capacity / lithium intercalation capacity.
[0267] The test results are shown in Table 3 below.
[0268] Table 3. Battery test results
[0269]
[0270]
[0271] As shown in Tables 2 and 3, activation treatment of biomass carbonized materials with 0.8μm≤Dn10≤2μm and 0.8≤(Dv90-Dv10) / Dv50≤1.5 can effectively improve the activation uniformity and powder compaction density of the biomass carbonized materials after activation treatment. This is beneficial for improving battery cycle life and energy density when applied to hollow porous silicon-carbon composite materials.
[0272] According to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, when the silicon-carbon composite materials prepared by porous carbon in Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are applied to batteries, the number of battery cycles in Example 1 is slightly greater than that in Comparative Example 2, and the number of battery cycles in Comparative Example 2 is significantly greater than that in Comparative Example 1.
[0273] in, Figure 6 This is a comparison chart of the cycle performance of the secondary batteries corresponding to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2. According to... Figure 6 It can be seen that the silicon-carbon composite material prepared from biomass porous carbon in Example 1 has significantly improved recycling performance compared to Comparative Example 1, achieving effects comparable to the silicon-carbon composite material prepared from resin-based porous carbon. Figure 6 As can be seen from the data, the silicon-carbon composite material prepared by resin-based porous carbon in Example 1 is superior to that in Comparative Example 2 when the secondary battery has been operated for about 600 cycles or more.
[0274] As can be seen from Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 3-4, biomass carbonization materials must simultaneously meet the ranges of 0.8μm≤Dn10≤2μm and 0.8≤(Dv90-Dv10) / Dv50≤1.5. Failure to meet any of these conditions will affect the activation uniformity, and the hollow porous silicon-carbon composite material made based on it will lead to a significant reduction in battery cycle life when applied to batteries.
[0275] As shown in Examples 1 and 8-10, the volume ratio of silicon particles in the pore volume of the biomass porous carbon and the mass percentage of silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon affect the battery cycle life and energy density. When the volume ratio of silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon is 40%-60% and the mass percentage of silicon particles in the biomass porous carbon is between 42%-52%, the battery has better cycle life and better energy density when it is used in the battery.
[0276] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 11, when the Dn10 and diameter of the biomass carbon material are controlled within the scope of this application, even if different activators are used to activate the biomass carbon material, the activation uniformity and powder compaction density of the biomass carbon material after activation treatment can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the battery cycle life and energy density when applied to silicon-carbon composite materials.
