Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of secondary battery materials technology, specifically relating to siloxane materials with controllable surface oxygen composition, their preparation methods, and their applications in lithium-ion batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles. As a key component of the battery, the anode material significantly impacts battery performance. Currently, commercially available lithium-ion batteries commonly use graphite anodes, but their theoretical specific capacity is only 372 mAh / g, which is insufficient to meet the demands for high energy density, thus limiting the further development of high-energy lithium-ion batteries. Silicon-based anodes, due to their ultra-high theoretical capacity (4200 mAh / g), abundant reserves, and environmental friendliness, are considered one of the most promising next-generation lithium-ion battery anode materials. However, traditional silicon materials undergo dramatic volume expansion (~300%) during lithium insertion / extraction, leading to electrode pulverization, intensified interfacial side reactions, and a sharp decline in cycle life, severely restricting their commercialization.

[0003] Two-dimensional layered silicon materials exhibit relatively high reversible specific capacity, small volume change, and good cycle performance, making them highly promising for development. Current mainstream synthesis methods, such as topological deintercalation, high-temperature sintering, or electrochemical exfoliation, typically suffer from complex processes, demanding conditions, and long reaction cycles. The substantial investment required for specialized equipment in these methods leads to high production costs, severely hindering the large-scale preparation and commercial application prospects of these materials. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a simple, low-temperature, and low-energy-consumption method for preparing two-dimensional siloxane materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide siloxane materials with controllable surface oxygen composition, their preparation methods and their applications in lithium-ion batteries.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, a siloxane material with controllable surface oxygen composition is provided, wherein the siloxane material particles are composed of stacked nanosheets.

[0006] Furthermore, the thickness of the siloxane material particles is 1~10μm.

[0007] Furthermore, the thickness of the nanosheet is 1~100nm.

[0008] Furthermore, the chemical formula of the siloxane material is SiO₂. x Where 0 ≤ x < 1.5; preferably the SiO x In this process, the molar ratio of Si to O is 70-85%.

[0009] Secondly, a method for preparing siloxane materials with controllable surface oxygen composition is provided, including: The layered silicon alloy raw material is mixed evenly with molten salt, and heated to above the melting point of the molten salt in a sealed container filled with inert gas. The mixture is then kept at this temperature for a period of time to obtain a siloxane-molten salt mixture. The siloxane-molten salt mixture was washed with dilute acid solution to obtain a yellow-brown / brown-black suspension; The yellow-brown / brown-black suspension was washed with water, subjected to solid-liquid separation, and dried to obtain layered siloxane material SiO. x , where 0 ≤ x < 1.5.

[0010] Thirdly, a negative electrode is provided, wherein the active material of the negative electrode includes the siloxane material described in the first aspect or the siloxane material prepared by the preparation method described in the second aspect.

[0011] Fourthly, a lithium-ion battery is provided, including the negative electrode described in the third aspect.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, one or more of the above technical solutions can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects: (1) The two-dimensional siloxane material prepared in this invention has a controllable surface oxygen composition (Si / O ratio). By regulating the surface oxygen composition, volume expansion can be effectively suppressed, and its electrochemical performance can be further optimized. There is a clear structure-property relationship between surface oxygen composition and electrochemical performance: when the surface oxygen composition is high, the structural stability is enhanced, exhibiting excellent cycling stability, but the reversible capacity is relatively low; while when the surface oxygen composition is too low, although the material can provide a higher theoretical capacity, the surface Si activity is too high, the structure degrades quickly during cycling, and the stability is insufficient.

[0013] (2) This invention achieves controllable adjustment of the surface oxygen state by regulating the molten salt system. Specifically, for example, M1-type cationic salts and M2-type cationic salts can be selected as molten salts, such as CH3COO - Using M1-type cations as anions, the M1-type cations, as Lewis acids, possess oxidizing capabilities and play a dominant role in the etching and stripping of CaSi2. By adjusting the ratio of M1-type cations to M2-type cations, molten salt matrices with different oxidizing strengths can be formed, thereby achieving different degrees of etching during subsequent stripping processes. Ultimately, two-dimensional siloxane materials with controllable surface oxygen composition are obtained. When the molar proportion of M1-type cations in the total cations of the molten salt is within a certain range, the oxidizing ability is moderate, and siloxane materials with suitable Si / O ratios can be obtained, thus yielding siloxane materials with both excellent specific capacity and cycle stability.

[0014] (3) The preparation method of the present invention is simple. By adjusting the type and ratio of cations in the molten salt matrix, the oxygen composition on the material surface can be effectively controlled. At the same time, the method has low energy consumption, the reaction temperature is below 400℃, the process is simple and efficient, easy to scale up production, and has good prospects for industrial application.

[0042] Example 3 A siloxane material with controllable surface oxygen composition, its preparation method, and its application in a lithium-ion battery, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparation (1) Preparation of etching salt According to the composition of the etching salt raw materials in the etching salt system, weigh the etching salt raw materials (CH3COO)2Zn, CH3COONa, and CH3COOLi in a molar ratio of 0.5:0.3:0.2, of which (CH3COO)2Zn is 10g. Grind the etching salt evenly. Step 2: Etching the alloy phase (2) Take 1g of layered silicon alloy phase CaSi2 as raw material, grind the powder etching salt and silicon alloy raw material evenly until there is no particle-like powder, and then put it into a sealed container filled with N2 / Ar. (3) Place the container containing the uniformly mixed powder in a heating oven / box furnace or other device, and heat it to a temperature higher than its mixing melting point for etching. This will etch the layered alloy phase and obtain a siloxane-etching salt mixture. The temperature was 198℃, and the holding time was 10 hours. Step 3: Post-processing (4) The siloxane-etching mixture was washed with diluted hydrochloric acid solution to remove excess etching salt, resulting in a yellow-brown / brown-black suspension in 0.1M HCl.

[0043] Figures 1-3 These are SEM images of the two-dimensional siloxane materials from Examples 1-3. All the silicon materials show a layered structure composed of stacked nanosheets, which is the structure left after the Ca is etched away by the etching salt. Correspondingly, if the raw materials are changed to LiSi2, FeSi2, MgSi2, etc., after etching salt treatment, Li, Fe, and Mg can also be removed in the post-processing to prepare two-dimensional nano-silicon materials.

[0044] Figure 4 The TEM image of the two-dimensional siloxane in Example 3 shows that the primary particles of siloxane are sheet-like, further proving that the morphology of its secondary particles is a stacked sheet-like structure.

[0045] Figure 5 The images shown are XRD patterns of two-dimensional siloxanes from Examples 1-3. All silicon materials correspond to PDF card 27-1402. Figure 6 Images showing the Si and O content ratios of XPS in two-dimensional siloxanes in Examples 1-3 demonstrate that the synthesized material is a siloxane material, and that different etching systems can controllably passivate the siloxane surface, exhibiting different Si and O contents.

[0046] Figure 7 These are cycling performance diagrams of the two-dimensional siloxane materials in Examples 1-3. Siloxanes synthesized by different etching systems and temperatures have different capacities and cycling performances.

[0047] Table 1 shows the specific relationship between the oxygen composition (Si / O ratio) on the surface of the siloxane materials in Examples 1-3 and their capacity and retention rate.

[0048] according to Figure 7 Based on the specific data in Table 1, the amount of highly oxidizing Zn in the molten salt matrix was adjusted. 2+ Two-dimensional siloxane materials with different Si / O ratios were prepared by varying the proportions, and their electrochemical performance was controlled. Zn in the molten salts of Examples 1 to 3... 2+As the proportion decreases, the oxidizing power of the matrix gradually weakens within the same reaction time. In Example 1, the highly oxidizing molten salt significantly oxidizes the CaSi2 material, resulting in a high oxygen content on the surface of the siloxane, with a Si / O ratio of only 70.3%, leading to a lower capacity of 954.9 mAh / g, but excellent cycling performance with a 96.8% retention rate after 100 cycles. In Example 3, the oxidizing power of the molten salt is weakened, resulting in a lower oxygen content on the surface of the subsequently prepared siloxane material, with a Si / O ratio of 80.3%, a higher capacity of 1666.8 mAh / g, and a 84.4% retention rate after 100 cycles. This demonstrates that a strong oxidizing power of the molten salt can lead to a two-dimensional siloxane material with a high oxygen content, further exhibiting slightly lower capacity but excellent cycling stability. In summary, by rationally controlling the proportion of highly oxidizing cations in the molten salt, the Si / O ratio can be appropriately controlled, thereby obtaining siloxane materials that combine both capacity and cycling stability.

[0049] Table 1 The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
