Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of negative electrode material technology, specifically a surface modification material for nanoscale silicon-based powder materials, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the booming development of new energy vehicles, consumer electronics, and the low-altitude economy, the demand for high-energy-density, high-rate batteries has been increasing year by year. The theoretical capacity of graphite materials used in commercial anodes is 372 mAh / g, which is insufficient to meet the needs of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Silicon materials, due to their high specific capacity of 3579 mAh / g, are considered a promising anode material and are expected to be widely used in lithium-ion battery anode materials.

[0003] However, when silicon is used as the negative electrode in lithium-ion batteries, its large volume expansion rate leads to internal stress that can cause material breakage and pulverization. This results in continuous side reactions with the electrolyte, forming a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, which in turn affects the battery's capacity, cycle life, and initial efficiency. Furthermore, nanoscale silicon-based materials exhibit high reactivity and are difficult to process, requiring modification. Modification methods for nanoscale silicon include surface passivation, surface coating, in-situ doping, and metal composites, each imparting different properties to the material.

[0004] Supercritical fluids are fluids that exist at temperatures and pressures greater than their critical temperatures and pressures. Supercritical fluids include, but are not limited to, carbon dioxide, water, ethane, ethylene, propane, ammonia, nitrous oxide, and sulfur hexafluoride. These fluids exhibit gas-like diffusion properties and liquid-like dissolving abilities, and have wide applications in the food, pharmaceutical, environmental, and chemical industries.

[0005] Among supercritical fluids, carbon dioxide is the most commonly used, partly because it can reach a supercritical state at relatively low temperatures and pressures. Specifically, carbon dioxide exhibits a supercritical state when the temperature is above 31.3℃ and the pressure is above 7.38MPa. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the challenges of processing nanoscale silicon-based materials in practical applications and to enhance their utilization, enabling them to perform better as anode materials in liquid and solid-state batteries, this invention provides a surface modification material for nanoscale silicon-based powders, its preparation method, and its application. Utilizing the diffusion and flow characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide, the nanoscale silicon-based material is modified.

The nano-silicon material containing the first silicon oxide layer is mixed with a precursor solution using ethanol as a solvent, and a precursor for the second silicon oxide layer and the coating layer is obtained under the action of supercritical fluid. S3. Add the nano-silicon material containing the first silicon oxide layer to the ethanol solution, and then add the precursor with the carbon coating layer or oxide coating layer. Mix evenly by stirring, homogenizing, emulsifying and dispersing. S4. Heat treatment is performed on the nano-silicon material containing the second silicon oxide layer and the precursor of the coating layer under an inert atmosphere. The atmosphere is selected from one or more of nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide, the gas flow rate is 0.5L / min-100L / min, the heating rate is 1℃ / min-10℃ / min, the temperature is 300℃-1200℃, and the holding time is 0.5h-12h. After heat treatment, the surface modification of silicon-based powder containing the first silicon oxide layer, the second silicon oxide layer and the carbon coating layer or oxide coating layer is achieved.

[0010] Preferably, in step S1, the oxygen concentration is 0.5-5 wt%, the temperature is 100℃-200℃, and the heating rate is 2℃-6℃ / min.

[0011] Preferably, the precursors for the carbon coating layer in step S2 include, but are not limited to, glucose, sucrose, fructose, dopamine, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, tannic acid, gallic acid, salicylic acid, citric acid, phenolic resin, epoxy resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, and combinations thereof.

[0012] Preferably, the precursor for the oxide coating layer in step S2 includes, but is not limited to, aluminum isopropoxide, aluminum sec-butoxide, lithium tert-butoxide, lithium methoxide, boric acid, borate ester, and combinations thereof.

[0013] Preferably, in step S3, the carbon dioxide pressure is adjusted to 7.5MPa-20MPa and the carbon dioxide temperature is adjusted to 40℃-100℃, respectively, above the critical pressure and critical temperature of carbon dioxide, and the reaction time is 0.5h-10h.

[0014] Preferably, in step S3, the second silicon oxide layer is constructed by interfacial reaction of ethanol solvent on the surface of the nano-silicon material under the supercritical state of carbon dioxide; at the same time, the characteristic of ethanol as a co-solvent for supercritical carbon dioxide is utilized to promote the binding of the precursor of the coating layer with the surface active sites of the nano-silicon oxide layer; thereby achieving the purpose of uniform coating of the precursor.

[0016] Application of a surface modification material for nanoscale silicon-based powder materials, applied to the surface modification of nanoscale silicon-based powder materials.

[0017] The following benefits can be achieved by adopting the technical solution of the present invention: 1. It achieves the modification of nanoscale silicon-based powder materials, solving the problem of uneven carbon coating and oxide coating in the traditional sense; in terms of process implementation, the multi-layer structure of nano-silicon materials constructed by this method has lower energy consumption, can be coated with different substances as needed, has a simpler process, and is easier to achieve mass production. 2. In terms of structure, by constructing a multilayer structure, different carbon precursors or oxide precursors are coated on the surface of the nano-silicon material. By coating the carbon layer and oxide layer, a stable conductive network can be constructed to maintain the continuity of conductivity. At the same time, the multilayer structure can improve the stability of the nano-scale silicon-based powder material. Even if the material cracks, it can prevent side reactions from occurring, thereby improving cycle stability and first coulombic efficiency. 3. Regarding the surface properties of nano-silicon, due to the diffusivity of gas, the fluidity (low viscosity) of liquid, and good mass transfer characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid, it can better penetrate between nanoparticles and on the active sites on the surface when ethanol is used as a co-solvent. This promotes the densification process between particles, reduces the voids between particles, improves the water solubility of the material, and enhances the processing performance of the material. This allows the material to be better applied to downstream battery companies, thus promoting the development of battery materials and solid-state batteries. Attached Figure Description

Example 11

[0038] We selected silicon nanometers of about 50nm and only performed the first silicon oxide coating layer treatment.

[0039] We selected silicon nanometers of around 30nm and performed only the first silicon oxide coating layer treatment.

[0040] The materials prepared in Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were subjected to various performance tests under the following conditions, and the test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0041] The oxygen content was tested using a nitrogen-oxygen analyzer, and the carbon content was tested using a carbon-sulfur analyzer.

[0042] The specific surface area was measured using a specific surface area analyzer.

[0043] Elemental analysis was performed using EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy) analysis with scanning electron microscopy.

[0044] Electrochemical testing of materials: The prepared silicon-carbon anode material was used as the active material and mixed with an aqueous dispersion of acrylonitrile copolymer binder (LA132, 15% solid content) and conductive agent (Super P) at a mass ratio of 92:6:2. A suitable amount of water was added as a solvent to adjust the slurry to a solid content of 55%. This slurry was coated onto copper foil and then vacuum dried and rolled to prepare the anode sheet. A lithium metal sheet was used as the counter electrode. An electrolyte was formed by mixing 1 mol / L LiPF6 with a three-component mixed solvent in EC:DMC:EMC = 1:1:1 (v / v / v). A polypropylene microporous membrane was used as the separator, and CR2032 coin cells were assembled in an inert gas-filled glove box. Charge-discharge tests of the coin cells were conducted on the LANHE battery testing system.

[0045] First charge-discharge performance test: Under normal temperature conditions, discharge at a constant current of 0.1C to a voltage of 0.01V, then discharge at a constant current of 0.02C to a voltage of 0.005V, and then charge at a constant current of 0.1C to a voltage of 1.5V to obtain the first reversible specific capacity and the first coulombic efficiency.

[0046] Cyclic performance test: Under normal temperature conditions, charge and discharge at 1C constant current to 0.01V, then discharge at 0.05C constant current to 0.005V, and finally charge at 1C constant current to 1.5V to obtain the delithiation specific capacity. This cycle is repeated 100 times, and the expansion rate after 100 cycles is calculated.

[0047] Table 1 shows the oxygen content tests for Examples 1 to 3. As shown in Table 1, the oxygen content of the nano-silicon materials prepared in Examples 1 and 3 is significantly higher than that in Comparative Example 1, and the oxygen content of the nano-silicon material prepared in Example 2 is significantly higher than that in Comparative Example 2. The mechanism of this reaction is that carbon dioxide decomposes under supercritical conditions to form interstitial oxygen molecules within the oxide. The oxidation rate and the thickness of the second silicon oxide layer can be adjusted by controlling the partial pressure of carbon dioxide. At the same time, the oxygen content of 30 nm nano-silicon is higher than that of 50 nm nano-silicon because 30 nm nano-silicon has a larger specific surface area. The chemical reaction mainly occurs on the surface of the material, and a larger specific surface area means more reaction sites that come into contact with interstitial oxygen molecules, thus resulting in a higher oxygen content.

[0048] Table 2 shows the performance tests for Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2.

[0049] As shown in Table 2, compared with nano-silicon containing a first silicon oxide layer and nano-silicon containing a second silicon oxide layer, the nano-silicon material with a carbon coating layer exhibits a significantly improved initial coulombic efficiency. This is because the carbon precursor is coated onto the particle surface through diffusion, flow, and mass transfer via supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. After carbonization, a uniform carbon coating layer is formed. This carbon coating layer introduces a stable, conductive, and mechanically strong carbon layer as an interface, transferring the formation and growth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film from the drastically changing silicon surface to the relatively stable, uniform carbon layer surface. This greatly limits the continuous irreversible growth of the SEI film and blocks the direct side reactions between silicon and the electrolyte. Under these conditions, the consumption of lithium ions and electrolyte in the first cycle is significantly reduced, and the number of reversible lithium ions in the cycle is greater. Therefore, the initial coulombic efficiency is significantly improved.

[0050] As shown in Table 2, compared with nano-silicon containing a first silicon oxide layer and nano-silicon containing a second silicon oxide layer, the expansion rate of nano-silicon containing an oxide coating layer is significantly reduced. This is because, through the action of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid, a uniform oxide coating layer is deposited on the surface of the nano-silicon material. When the oxide, with its high Young's modulus, coats the soft silicon particles, it forms a hard outer shell. During silicon lithium intercalation expansion, this hard shell layer exerts a strong mechanical constraint, restricting the free outward expansion of the nano-silicon. Simultaneously, it distributes the enormous stress generated by the nano-silicon more evenly across the entire particle, avoiding localized stress concentration and thus maintaining the structural integrity of the nano-silicon particles. Therefore, the expansion rate of nano-silicon containing an oxide coating layer is significantly reduced. Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
