Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new materials technology, specifically to a lithium-ion battery anode material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in 3C portable products, electric vehicles, and energy storage. Among these applications, the anode material plays a crucial role in the energy density, power density, and safety of lithium-ion batteries. Currently, graphite is generally used as the anode material in lithium-ion batteries; however, the low specific capacity of graphite (theoretical capacity 372 mAh / g) severely limits the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] To improve the energy density and power density of lithium-ion batteries, relevant research has been conducted on lithium-ion battery anode materials. For example, regarding the composites of graphene nanoribbons with silicon, tin and their oxides, titanium oxide, etc., patent numbers ZL2015101920918, ZL2020102956157, ZL2015101920706, ZL2016104157650, etc., all of the above invention patents utilize the electrostatic adhesion of graphene nanoribbons to composite them with silicon and its oxides, or SnO2 or TiO2 and other materials, which requires long-term drying and high-temperature sintering. However, the final products obtained by the above patents have non-spherical and irregular shapes, and the particle size of the powder is uncontrollable, resulting in uncontrollable coating quality. In addition, the volumetric energy density and power density are low, which greatly limits the application fields. Moreover, the mechanical strength is low, and it is easy to break and pulverize, which seriously affects the performance and lifespan.

[0038] The product obtained in Example 1 was used as a negative electrode according to the method of the present invention, with a lithium sheet as the counter electrode, and assembled into a CR2032 coin cell. The liquid electrolyte used was 1 mol·L⁻¹. -1The LiPF6 in EC:DEC (1:1, V / V) battery was tested with a voltage range of 0.005-2.000V. Its constant current charge-discharge performance was tested using the Landian CT2001A battery testing system. The results are as follows: Figure 2-3 , Figure 2 The first charge-discharge curves of the graphene nanoribbon / silicon anode material at a 0.1C rate are shown. The discharge specific capacity and charge specific capacity are 1061 mAh / g and 963 mAh / g, respectively, and the first coulombic efficiency reaches 90.7%, which is significantly higher than the first cycle efficiency of current silicon-based materials. Figure 3 The results showed that after 500 cycles at 0.1C, the graphene nanoribbon / silicon anode material maintained a high specific capacity of 961 mAh / g and achieved a cycle stability of 99.8%, demonstrating excellent cycle stability.
[0039] The comparative example involved the direct physical mixing of graphene nanoribbons and silicon at a mass ratio of 80:20, without the application of the technology of this invention. The morphology of the product was as follows. Figure 4 As shown, the particles are non-spherical and random, with random particle size distribution that is difficult to control. The preparation of the electrode sheets and the manufacturing and testing methods of the coin cells are the same as in Example 1. The relevant data of the comparative example and Example 1 are shown in Table 1. This proves that the negative electrode material obtained by the present invention has advantages such as high discharge capacity, high cycle efficiency, and long service life. The comparative example products are out of touch with actual needs in terms of application and performance.
