[0066] Silicon-carbon material is an important negative electrode material of lithium ion battery. The current silicon-carbon material is mainly composed of porous carbon, nano-silicon deposited in the pores of the porous carbon, and an amorphous carbon coating layer. During the cycle process, the expansion of the nano-silicon will cause the repeated recombination and repair of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, thereby causing gas production and reducing the cycle performance. At present, the surface of the porous carbon in which the nano-silicon is deposited can be coated with titanium niobate to reduce the expansion of the nano-silicon. However, titanium niobate has the disadvantage of high cost.
[0067] In view of this, the present application provides a negative electrode active material, which comprises a core material and a coating layer material at least partially coating the outer surface of the core material: the core material comprises porous carbon, a modification layer and a nano-silicon layer, the modification layer and the nano-silicon layer are sequentially arranged on the surface of the porous carbon; the modification layer comprises a first modification layer and a second modification layer, the first modification layer comprises a heteroatom modification layer, the second modification layer comprises a lithium modification layer, and the first modification layer is arranged on the side close to the porous carbon; the coating layer material comprises a first coating layer material, and the first coating layer material comprises a carbon coating layer material, and the carbon coating layer material comprises a first carbon coating layer material.
[0068] In the technical scheme of the present application, the first modification layer and the second modification layer are arranged between the porous carbon and the nano-silicon layer, the two modification layers improve the defects of the porous carbon and improve the electronic conductivity and the initial efficiency of the material; the porous carbon and the heteroatom modification layer in the first modification layer are connected through C-heteroatom bonds, and the heteroatom modification layer and the lithium modification layer in the second modification layer are connected through N-Li bonds, so that the porous carbon, the heteroatom modification layer and the lithium modification layer are bonded through C-heteroatom-Li bonds to form a layer-by-layer bonded structure, so that the lithium is indirectly connected to the surface of the porous carbon more stably, and the ionic conductivity of the porous carbon is improved, and the rate performance of the material can be obviously improved in the charging and discharging process, and the electrochemical performance is better than that of a single modification layer in which the heteroatoms and lithium are mixed with each other; the first carbon coating layer material is coated on the outer surface of the core material, which can better bind the volume expansion of the nano-silicon in the core material and prevent the leakage of the nano-silicon from causing a side reaction.
[0069] The single modification layer in which the heteroatoms and lithium are mixed with each other in the prior art is obtained by simultaneously dissolving a nitrogen source and a lithium source in a solution, and then realizing the synchronous introduction of nitrogen and lithium through steps such as immersion, stirring and drying. This method is prone to cause uneven distribution of doped elements, and it is difficult to accurately control the doping depth and interface structure in the liquid phase process.
[0070] In some embodiments, the carbon coating layer material further comprises a second carbon coating layer material, and the second carbon coating layer material at least partially coats the first carbon coating layer material; the degree of disorder of carbon in the first carbon coating layer material is 0.8 < ID / IG ≤ 1.2, and the degree of disorder of carbon in the second carbon coating layer material is 0.2 ≤ ID / IG ≤ 0.8.
[0071] In the technical scheme of the present application, the first carbon coating layer material and the second carbon coating layer material are coated on the outer surface of the core material, and the two carbon layers can better bind the volume expansion of the nano-silicon in the core material and prevent the leakage of the nano-silicon from causing a side reaction. The first carbon coating layer material is a first type of amorphous carbon formed after carbonization of a carbon source gas, which closely adheres to the surface of silicon, provides structural support and electronic conduction path, and preliminarily inhibits the volume expansion of the nano-silicon; the second carbon coating layer material is a second type of amorphous carbon formed after carbonization of a high molecular material, which has poorer electrical conductivity than the first type of amorphous carbon, and provides mechanical buffering, inhibits volume expansion and adjusts interface reaction, and the two types of amorphous carbon can jointly inhibit the volume expansion of the nano-silicon and improve the electronic conductivity.
[0072] It should be noted that the first type of amorphous carbon has relatively high brittleness and may crack under the huge volume expansion of silicon; while the second type of amorphous carbon has high elasticity and can provide a buffer space to better bind the expansion of the nano-silicon and prevent the nano-silicon from directly contacting the electrolyte.
[0073] In some embodiments, the coating layer material further comprises a second coating layer material disposed on a side of the first coating layer material distal to the core material; the second coating layer material comprises a solid-state electrolyte material having a chemical formula of Li 5+x La3Zr x M 2-x O 12 wherein M is selected from any one of Ta, Nb, Al, Si, Ga, Sc, Ti, V, Y, and Sn, and x is 0.01-0.6.
[0074] In the technical solution of the present application, the second coating layer material is disposed on the outer surface of the first coating layer material, and the solid-state electrolyte material Li 5+x La3Zr x M 2-x O 12 has high ionic conductivity and extremely low electronic conductivity, improves the fast-charging performance of the material, avoids the accumulation of lithium during charging and discharging, reduces the interface thickening caused by the repeated rupture and regeneration of the SEI film, and effectively inhibits the “irreversible expansion at the electrode level” and “cyclic degradation expansion” caused by lithium accumulation and gas production; at the same time, it provides mechanical restraint and buffers the stress transmission of the volume expansion of the nanosilicon. The first coating layer material and the second coating layer material can synergistically inhibit the expansion rate of the negative electrode active material during battery cycling.
[0075] In some embodiments, the second carbon coating layer material further comprises an inorganic carbon conductive agent and / or a thermosensitive material. Since the second type of amorphous carbon in the second carbon coating layer material has poor electrical conductivity, the addition of an inorganic carbon conductive agent can improve the electronic conductivity of the second carbon coating layer material. After adding the thermosensitive material, at normal use temperature, the thermosensitive material has a very low resistance value; when the battery material temperature is too high and rises to a certain temperature, the resistance value of the thermosensitive material will increase sharply, with a stepwise increase, and the system current will not increase but decrease, reducing the battery heat production, preventing further thermal runaway of the system, interrupting the vicious cycle of thermal runaway, and effectively improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0076] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the core material, the first coating layer material, and the second coating layer material is 80-90:5-10:5-10. The mass ratio can be 80:10:10, 85:7:7, or 90:5:5, and the mass ratio within the above range can ensure a low expansion rate of the negative electrode active material during cycling.
[0077] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the porous carbon, the first modification layer, the second modification layer, and the nano-silicon in the core material is 40-45:5-10:5-10:40-45. The mass ratio can be 40:10:10:40, 45:5:5:45, or 40:10:5:45. The mass ratio in the above range can ensure that the lithium modification layer has more connection sites, that is, more heteroatom sites, so that the lithium is more stably and indirectly connected to the surface of the porous carbon, thereby improving the rate performance of the material.
[0078] In some embodiments, the second carbon coating layer material comprises an inorganic carbon conductive agent and a heat-sensitive material, the conductive agent comprises at least one of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon fibers; and the heat-sensitive material comprises a mixture of polyimide and carbon black, and the mass ratio of the polyimide to the carbon black is 1:0.5-2.
[0079] In some embodiments, the particle size of the negative electrode active material is 5-10 μm. The particle size in the above range can ensure a smaller pore size, reduce the contact area with the electrolyte, inhibit the excessive formation of SEI, and improve the initial efficiency.
[0080] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first carbon coating layer material is 10-100 nm; and / or, the thickness of the second carbon coating layer material is 50-200 nm; and / or, the thickness of the second coating layer material is 500-1000 nm. Controlling the thickness of the first carbon coating layer material, the second carbon coating layer material, and the second coating layer material in the above range can ensure that the negative electrode active material has a lower expansion rate and good cycle stability.
[0081] The application also provides a preparation method of a negative electrode active material, which comprises the following steps: S1, obtaining porous carbon, preparing a heteroatom source precursor into a heteroatom source gas, and performing first deposition on the porous carbon by using the heteroatom source gas to form a heteroatom modification layer precursor on the surface of the porous carbon, thereby obtaining first modified porous carbon; S2, preparing an organic lithium source precursor into an organic lithium source gas, and performing second deposition on the first modified porous carbon by using the organic lithium source gas to form a lithium modification layer precursor on the surface of the porous carbon, thereby obtaining second modified porous carbon; and S3, performing third deposition on the second modified porous carbon by using silane gas in an inert atmosphere, so that nano-silicon is deposited in the pores of the second modified porous carbon, and then performing fourth deposition by using a carbon source gas to form a first carbon coating layer material, thereby obtaining the negative electrode active material.
[0082] In the technical scheme of the present application, in step S1: first, a heteroatom source gas is deposited on the surface of the porous carbon, the heteroatom including at least one of N, S and O, the heteroatom replacing part of the carbon atoms in the porous carbon framework to form a heteroatom modification layer precursor through C-heteroatom bonding on the surface of the porous carbon, reducing the defects of the porous carbon, improving the electronic conductivity and the initial efficiency of the material, and obtaining a first modified porous carbon, the heteroatom modification layer precursor being converted into a final heteroatom modification layer at a fourth deposition temperature; in step S2: an organic lithium source gas is deposited on the surface of the heteroatom modification layer precursor, lithium atoms being preferentially bonded to the heteroatom modification layer precursor through heteroatom-Li bonding, the bonding being relatively stable, so that the lithium ion doping on the surface of the porous carbon is relatively uniform and a lithium ion modification layer precursor is formed, obtaining a second modified porous carbon, the precursor being converted into a final lithium modification layer at the fourth deposition temperature, the lithium modification layer improving the ionic conductivity and the rate performance of the material; in step S3: under an inert atmosphere, a silane gas is deposited on the surface of the lithium modification layer precursor to form nano-silicon, the nano-silicon and the lithium modification layer precursor being in close contact, the overall silicon-carbon negative electrode active material constituting a pre-lithiated silicon-carbon material, and then the material is subjected to a fourth deposition, the fourth deposition not only being capable of depositing a first carbon coating layer material, but also being capable of simultaneously removing unnecessary elements (oxygen elements and hydrogen elements, etc.) in the heteroatom modification layer precursor and the lithium modification layer precursor, obtaining a heteroatom modification layer and a lithium modification layer, and the final material having good initial coulombic efficiency and good cycle stability.
[0083] It should be noted that the first carbon coating layer material is actually amorphous carbon, and the degree of disorder thereof can be obtained by Raman spectrum testing, and the degree of disorder being represented by the intensity ratio of D peak and G peak in the Raman spectrum.
[0084] In some embodiments, step S3 includes: S301, under an inert atmosphere, a silane gas is used for third deposition on the second modified porous carbon to deposit nano-silicon in the pores of the second modified porous carbon, and then a carbon source gas is used for fourth deposition to form a first carbon coating layer material, obtaining a first intermediate material; S302, the first intermediate material is mixed with a coating liquid and dried to form a second carbon coating layer material on the surface of the first intermediate material, obtaining the negative electrode active material, the coating liquid including a conductive polymer.
[0085] In the technical solution of the present application, step S301: after the nano-silicon is deposited, a first amorphous carbon layer is formed on the surface of the nano-silicon layer by depositing a carbon source gas, which is used to preliminarily bind the nano-silicon expansion and ensure good electronic conductivity; step S302: a second amorphous carbon layer is formed on the surface of the first amorphous carbon layer by mixing a coating liquid containing a conductive polymer with the first intermediate material and removing the solvent, which provides a larger accommodation space for the nano-silicon expansion and is used to further bind the nano-silicon expansion, and the method for removing the solvent can be drying treatment, preferably spray drying treatment, which ensures that the structure of the second amorphous carbon layer is relatively stable and has fewer defects, and the negative electrode active material is obtained.
[0086] In some embodiments, step S302 comprises:
[0087] S3021, mixing the first intermediate material and the coating liquid, and drying to form a second carbon coating layer material on the surface of the first intermediate material, to obtain a second intermediate material, wherein the coating liquid comprises a conductive polymer;
[0088] S3022, depositing a solid-state electrolyte material on the surface of the second intermediate material by atomic layer deposition technology to form a second coating layer material, to obtain the negative electrode active material.
[0089] In the technical solution of the present application, the solid-state electrolyte is deposited on the surface of the second intermediate material by atomic layer deposition technology, which can improve the ion diffusion coefficient of the material on the one hand because the solid-state electrolyte has the characteristics of high density and strong ion conductivity; on the other hand, the solid-state electrolyte can accelerate the migration of lithium ions through the ion diffusion coefficient and reduce the residence time at the interface, thus effectively inhibiting the “irreversible expansion at the electrode level” and “cyclic degradation expansion” caused by the repeated regeneration of SEI, lithium accumulation, and gas production, and reducing the expansion rate of the negative electrode active material. The atomic layer deposition technology has the advantages of controllable preparation process and high preparation efficiency.
[0090] In some embodiments, in step S1, the heteroatom source precursor comprises at least one of furan, thiophene, pyrrole, imidazole, indole, pyridine, and pyrimidine. The heteroatom source precursor can be any one of furan, thiophene, pyrrole, imidazole, indole, pyridine, and pyrimidine, or two or more of furan, thiophene, pyrrole, imidazole, indole, pyridine, and pyrimidine, all of which are within the protection scope of the present application. The heteroatoms in the above-mentioned heteroatom source precursor can rapidly replace part of the carbon atoms in the porous carbon skeleton, thereby completing the modification of the porous carbon.
[0091] In some embodiments, in step S1, 300-1500 mL of the heteroatom source gas is used for the first deposition per 100 g of the porous carbon; and / or, in step S1, the temperature of the first deposition is 300-500 °C; and / or, in step S1, the time of the first deposition is 30-300 min; and / or, in step S1, the gas flow rate of the first deposition is 10-50 mL / min. Controlling the amount of the heteroatom source gas, the temperature, the time and the gas flow rate of the first deposition within the above ranges can ensure that sufficient heteroatoms are bonded to the surface of the porous carbon, providing bonding sites for the subsequent doping of lithium atoms.
[0092] In some embodiments, in step S2, the organic lithium source precursor includes at least one of n-butyllithium, methyllithium, phenyllithium, sec-butyllithium, tert-butyllithium. The organic lithium source precursor can be any one of n-butyllithium, methyllithium, phenyllithium, sec-butyllithium, tert-butyllithium, or two or more of n-butyllithium, methyllithium, phenyllithium, sec-butyllithium, tert-butyllithium, all within the protection scope of the present application. The above-mentioned organic lithium source precursor can quickly adsorb and grow on the surface of the heteroatom modification layer precursor and the porous carbon, reducing defects and improving ionic conductivity.
[0093] In some embodiments, in step S2, 300-1500 mL of the organic lithium source gas is used for the second deposition per 100 g of the porous carbon; and / or, in step S2, the temperature of the second deposition is 600-1100 °C; and / or, in step S2, the time of the second deposition is 30-300 min; and / or, in step S2, the gas flow rate of the second deposition is 10-50 mL / min. Controlling the amount of the organic lithium source gas, the temperature, the time and the gas flow rate of the second deposition within the above ranges can ensure that lithium atoms are bonded to the heteroatoms more quickly, more stably, more uniformly and more, forming a lithium modification layer, thereby improving the ionic conductivity and rate performance of the material.
[0094] In some embodiments, in step S301, the silane gas includes at least one of monosilane, disilane, dichlorosilane, chlorosilane; and / or, in step S301, the volume ratio of the inert gas of the inert atmosphere to the silane gas is 10:1-5. The silane gas can be any one of monosilane, disilane, dichlorosilane, chlorosilane, or two or more of monosilane, disilane, dichlorosilane, all within the protection scope of the present application. The volume ratio of the inert gas of the inert atmosphere to the silane gas can be 10:1, 10:3 or 10:5. Controlling the volume ratio of the inert gas to the silane gas and the type of the silane gas can ensure that nano-silicon with a uniform distribution and controllable particle size is formed on the surface of the lithium modification layer.
[0095] In some embodiments, in step S301, 3-150 L of the silane gas is used for the third deposition per 1 kg of the second modified porous carbon; and / or, in step S301, the temperature of the third deposition is 450-550 DEG C; and / or, in step S301, the time of the third deposition is 30-300 min; and / or, in step S301, the gas flow of the third deposition is 100-500 mL / min.

[0156] In step S1, no furan gas and n-butyllithium gas were passed for deposition, and the other steps were the same as in Example 1.
[0157] Performance test
[0158] 1. Negative electrode active material test:
[0159] The negative electrode active material prepared in Example 1 was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the results are shown in Figure 1
[0160] As can be seen from Figure 1 , the negative electrode active material prepared in Example 1 has a spherical structure, with uniform size distribution and a particle size of 5-10μm.
[0161] The negative electrode active materials prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested for physical and chemical properties. The test methods were as follows: the pore volume and pore size of each negative electrode active material were tested according to the national standards GB / T-38949-2020 "Standard Particle Method for Determining Pore Size of Porous Membrane" and GB / T7702.20-2008 "Coal Activated Carbon Pore Volume Detection"; the specific surface area and tap density of the negative electrode active material were tested according to the national standard GB / T38823-2020 "Silicon Carbon"; and the powder conductivity of the negative electrode active material was tested using a four-probe tester. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0162] Table 1 Physical and chemical property characterization of the negative electrode active materials prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2.
[0163]
[0164] As can be seen from Table 1, since the heteroatom modification layer and lithium modification layer are sequentially arranged on the surface of the porous carbon in the examples, the powder resistivity of the material is reduced, and the electronic and ionic conductivity of the material is improved; at the same time, the specific surface area of the material of the examples of the present application is higher.
[0165] 2. Button cell test
[0166] The negative electrode active materials prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were respectively used as the lithium ion battery negative electrode active material, and the coin batteries were prepared according to the following method: the negative electrode active material, binder, conductive agent and solvent were mixed (in the amount ratio of 70 g: 15 g: 15 g: 300 mL), and then stirred to make a slurry, and then coated on a copper foil, and then dried and rolled to obtain a negative electrode sheet; wherein the binder used was LA132, the conductive agent was SP (conductive carbon black), and the solvent was NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone); the electrolyte was a solution with LiPF6 as the electrolyte, and the concentration was 1 mol / L, wherein the solvent was a mixture of EC (ethylene carbonate) and DEC (diethyl carbonate) in a volume ratio of 1:1; the lithium metal sheet was the counter electrode, and the separator was a polypropylene (PP) film. Each coin battery was assembled in an argon-filled glove box. Then each coin battery was subjected to the following performance tests:
[0167] (1) The electrochemical performance was tested on a Wuhan Lan electric CT2001A battery tester, the charge and discharge voltage range was 0.005V to 2.0V, the charge and discharge rate was 0.1C, the discharge specific capacity and the first efficiency of the corresponding coin battery were tested, and at the same time, the charge direct current resistance (DCR) (50%, 0.1C rate) of the corresponding coin battery was tested.
[0168] (2) Full charge expansion test: the thickness D1 of the rolled electrode sheet was tested, the thickness D2 of the electrode sheet was tested when fully charged to 100% SOC (State of Charge), and the full charge expansion was (D2-D1) / D1.
[0169] (3) The lithium ion diffusion coefficient of the material was tested by GITT (constant current intermittent titration technique). The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0170] Table 2 Performance characterization of the coin batteries corresponding to Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2.
[0171]
[0172] As can be seen from Table 2, in Examples 1-10, as the shell is arranged layer by layer, the proportion of the coating layer of the negative active material increases, the specific capacity decreases, and the discharge specific capacity shows a decreasing trend, but overall is better than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. As can be seen from Examples 1 and 2, when the first carbon coating layer material and the second carbon coating layer material are arranged at the same time, the full charge expansion can be reduced; in addition, in Example 4, the solid-state electrolyte is arranged, the lithium ion diffusion coefficient is good, the full charge expansion and DCR are low; however, when the first carbon coating layer material and the second carbon coating layer material are arranged and only the solid-state electrolyte layer is arranged (Example 5), the lithium ion diffusion coefficient of the material is reduced instead, which shows that the first shell and the second coating layer material in the present application have a synergistic effect of inhibiting the volume expansion of nano-silicon.
[0173] 3. Soft package battery test
[0174] The negative active materials prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were respectively prepared into negative electrode sheets, and a ternary material LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O2 was used as the positive electrode material; LiPF6 was used as the electrolyte in the electrolyte, and a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) in a volume ratio of 1:1 was used as the solvent; and Celgard 2400 film was used as the separator, and 5Ah soft package batteries were respectively prepared. Then each soft package battery was respectively tested for the following performance:
[0175] (1) Cycle performance: the 500th cycle performance of the battery was tested at a charge / discharge rate of 1C / 1C, a voltage range of 2.5V-4.2V, and a temperature of 25±3℃.
[0176] (2) Fast charging performance: constant current charging was carried out at a rate of 2C to 4.2V, constant voltage charging was carried out at 4.2V for 2h to reach 100% SOC (full charge state), and then the constant current ratio = constant current capacity / (constant current capacity+constant voltage capacity) was calculated. The test results are shown in Table 3.
[0177] Table 3 Performance characterization of soft package batteries corresponding to Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2.
[0178]
[0179] As can be seen from Table 3, the rate and cycle performance of the soft package lithium ion battery prepared from the silicon-carbon composite material of the examples are better than those of the comparative examples.
[0180] 4. Safety performance:
[0181] Puncture experiment: 10 soft package batteries of each of examples 1-10 and comparative examples 1-2 were taken, the batteries were fully charged, a nail with a diameter of 5 mm was passed through the center of the battery, a temperature tester was installed at the battery pole, and the nail was left in the battery, the battery condition was observed, and the battery temperature when the nail penetrated the battery was measured, as shown in Table 4 below.
[0182] Table 4 Safety performance characterization of batteries of examples 1-10 and comparative examples 1-2.
[0183]
[0184] As can be seen from Table 4, the group without adding a heat-sensitive material and a solid-state electrolyte (examples 1-3, 6, 7 and comparative examples 1-2) has the highest temperature and the highest ignition rate. The group adding only a solid-state electrolyte (examples 4-5) has a slightly higher temperature and a reduced ignition rate. The group adding only a heat-sensitive material (example 8) has a slightly lower temperature and a lower ignition rate. The group adding a solid-state electrolyte and a heat-sensitive material (examples 9-10) has the lowest temperature and the lowest ignition rate. The heat-sensitive material mainly reduces the temperature and reduces the ignition rate. The solid-state electrolyte is mainly high-temperature resistant, so the temperature is relatively high, and there is a certain ignition rate. The present application coats a heat-sensitive material on the surface of the material, sharply increases the resistance when the battery is punctured and short-circuited, and reduces the probability of combustion; and coats a solid-state electrolyte on the surface of the material, which is an inorganic material with high-temperature resistance, can reduce the temperature of thermal runaway, and further improves the safety performance.
[0185] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
