Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a negative electrode composition, a negative electrode and a battery, and more particularly to a negative electrode composition, a negative electrode and a battery that can improve battery safety, lifespan, stability and capacitance. Background Technology
[0002] Modern batteries are being researched and developed with the goal of achieving high energy density, high operating voltage, fast charging speed, and long cycle life. Currently, carbon or graphite are commonly used as negative electrode materials. However, during high-current cycling, the layered structure of carbon or graphite cannot withstand the rapid insertion and migration of ions, which can easily cause irreversible structural collapse, reducing capacity and storage life. Furthermore, when the current density is too high, polarization can easily occur, causing lithium ions to be reduced to lithium metal on the electrode surface and forming lithium dendrites, leading to internal short circuits and safety concerns.
[0003] Furthermore, the theoretical energy density of graphite is far lower than the kinetic energy requirements of large electric devices such as electric vehicles. Therefore, introducing silicon-based materials with high energy density as new anode materials has become a trend in the development of lithium batteries. However, research shows that after multiple charge-discharge cycles, batteries with added silicon-based materials experience excessively drastic volume changes due to the repeated insertion and exit of lithium ions into and out of the silicon-based materials. This can even cause the materials to crack, severely affecting the structural stability of the anode and leading to a significant reduction in battery life. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention utilizes lithium-titanium composite oxides and multi-element structural element composite oxides to form a composition for use in anode materials. The uniform distribution of the structural element composite oxides around the lithium-titanium composite oxides simplifies the manufacturing process and contributes to the stability of the anode composition structure and improves energy density. The appropriate ratio of lithium-titanium composite oxides and structural element composite oxides helps improve the battery's charge / discharge efficiency and energy density. The oxide composition of the anode inherently possesses high heat resistance, contributing to improved battery safety and lifespan in high-temperature environments. During redox processes, the anode composition exhibits minimal crystal volume change and high mechanical stability, thus enabling it to withstand higher current densities while maintaining overall structural integrity, avoiding poor cycle life due to structural damage. The similar redox potentials of the various oxides in the anode composition contribute to a more uniform formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film during charge / discharge, reducing capacity reduction and increased overall battery impedance caused by lithium ion consumption, and preventing lithium dendrite formation, thereby enhancing battery safety.
