Description

BACKGROUND

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of battery materials, and particularly relates to the field of modified graphite negative electrodes. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Graphite has excellent electrical conductivity, but it has poor active ion intercalation capability. For this reason, the prior art often uses amorphous carbon to modify graphite by coating.

[0003] The existing graphite carbon coating process mainly includes chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel method, pyrolysis method, etc. The chemical vapor deposition method is to decompose the carbon source gas at high temperature to deposit a carbon layer on the surface of graphite. The sol-gel method is to carbonize the composite of graphite powder and carbon source precursor to obtain a carbon coating layer. The pyrolysis method is to mix graphite with carbon source, and then pyrolyze at carbonization temperature to form a carbon layer on the surface of graphite.

[0004] For the pyrolysis method, different carbon sources will affect the physicochemical structure of the carbon coating layer, and will greatly affect the performance of the modified graphite. The main carbon sources in the prior art include sugars, polymers, etc.

[0005] For example, the patent document with publication number CN119517950A discloses a preparation method of carbon-coated graphite composite material, which comprises mixing and treating an alkaline mixed solution containing graphite materials, main carbon sources for coating, collaborative carbon sources for coating, and additives to obtain a dispersion liquid; drying and carbonizing the dispersion liquid under preset conditions to form a carbon-coated graphite precursor; and carbonizing the carbon-coated graphite precursor in a protective gas environment to obtain a carbon-coated graphite composite material; the main carbon sources for coating include sugars; and the collaborative carbon sources for coating include compounds containing non-carbon heteroatoms.

[0006] For another example, the patent document with publication number CN117393737A discloses a preparation method of nitrogen-doped carbon-coated graphite negative electrode material, which comprises hydrothermal reaction and carbonization of a mixed solution containing carbon source, nitrogen source, template agent, and graphite to obtain a nitrogen-doped carbon-coated graphite negative electrode material.

[0007] For another example, the patent document with publication number CN115986091A discloses a carbon-coated graphite negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof, and a battery, which comprises the following steps: performing an oxidation polymerization reaction on a mixed solution containing artificial graphite, coating agent monomers, organic acid, and oxidizing agent to obtain a solid; and performing carbonization treatment on the solid to obtain a carbon-coated graphite negative electrode material.

[0008] In summary, the prior art has many schemes for coating graphite by carbonization of carbon sources, but the existing carbon coating function is still lacking in low-temperature performance and fast-charging performance, and the low-temperature, fast-charging, safety, and long-cycle performance still need to be further improved.

Furthermore, the combined modification using formulas 1 and 2 of this invention exhibits electron-rich properties, promoting the transition of electrons from the electrode active material to the current collector; it also weakens the binding energy between active ions such as lithium ions and solvent molecules, accelerating the transport of active ions at the electrode / electrolyte interface. In addition, the modified oxidized chitosan bio-based phenolic resin and the low-temperature modified carbon layer of this invention exhibit dynamic -C=N- on their surface. During low-temperature charge and discharge, the reversible breakage and recombination of bonds can release local stress, repair microcracks caused by lithium dendrites or volume changes, and maintain the continuity of the conductive network and ion channels.

[0051] Low temperature performance: Electrical conductivity increased by 110% at -20℃ (compared to traditional asphalt coating materials).

[0052] Cycle life: The fast charging cycle retention rate can reach 85% after 800 cycles at low temperature 3C, and 95% after 800 cycles at room temperature 3C.

[0053] Safety: The resin has an LOI ≥ 32%, exhibiting excellent safety.

[0111] test:

[0112] Positive electrode: LiFePO4, acetylene black and PVDF are mixed in a weight ratio of 90:5:5 to obtain a positive electrode material, which is then composited onto a current collector to obtain an LFP positive electrode.

[0113] Negative electrode: The materials finally obtained in each case are used as negative electrode active materials.

[0114] The full-electric test used a pouch cell, which was assembled with 3 positive electrodes and 4 negative electrodes, using LFP positive and negative electrodes. The electrodes were cut to 35 mm × 52 mm and 39 mm × 56 mm, respectively. The electrodes were laminated to the PP separator in a zigzag pattern (negative electrode-sealant-positive electrode-sealant-negative electrode-sealant-positive electrode-sealant-negative electrode-sealant-positive electrode-sealant-negative electrode). Due to the small size of the battery, no additional venting bag was required. After removing moisture from the battery, 2.0 g of 1 M LiTFSI electrolyte was injected according to an appropriate E / C ratio (electrolyte / capacity = 4.0 g Ah⁻¹). To further analyze the cycling performance of the materials, the pouch cell was first activated at a rate of 0.1 C for 3 cycles, and then charged and discharged at a rate of 3 C within a voltage window of 1.0–2.5 V in an air-conditioned environment of 293 ± 2 K. The specific capacity of the pouch cell was calculated based on the mass of the LiFePO4 active material. The test was conducted at a pressure of 0.3 MPa, with pressure applied using a limit clamp.
