Description

Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular, to a composite lithium storage material for lithium-ion batteries, a preparation method thereof, and an application.

Background Art

[0003] Li 4.2 The theoretical capacity of silicon when forming an Li-Si alloy is up to 4000 mAh / g at maximum, which is much larger than the theoretical capacity of graphite. However, during the alloying process, the volume of silicon expands by 300%, pulverizing the electrode and ultimately degrading the cycle performance of the battery.

[0004] Manufacturing a nanostructured electrode can significantly improve the properties of the silicon negative electrode, because the fracture mechanism changes when the crystal size of the material reaches several tens of nanometers.

[0005] Currently, it is common to obtain nanostructured materials by dispersing silicon in carbon materials by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). However, for silicon-carbon composite materials produced by the CVD method, the forms of Si and C cannot be controlled, so it is difficult to solve the problem of volume expansion and it affects the cycle performance of the battery.

[0056] To better explain the effects of the embodiments of the present invention, Comparative Example 1 is compared with the above embodiments.

[0057] [Comparative Example 1] This comparative example provides a preparation method and performance test of a conventional silicon-carbon composite material. The specific steps are as follows: 1) 200 g of nano-silicon and 500 g of phenolic resin powder are put into a hydrothermal reactor for hydrothermal treatment. The pressure is set at 5 Mpa, the temperature is raised to 300 °C, and it is kept warm for 8 hours. Then the material is taken out, and the filtrate is washed and filtered until it becomes colorless and transparent, and then dried to obtain a spherical silicon-containing carbon precursor. 2) The spherical silicon-containing carbon precursor is put into a rotary furnace, heated to 900 °C at a rate of 3 °C / min, and carbonized by keeping it warm for 6 hours in a nitrogen gas atmosphere to obtain a silicon-carbon composite material.

[0058] An electrode is manufactured using the silicon-carbon composite material prepared in this comparative example, and the battery is assembled and tested. The specific process is the same as that in Example 1. The test data are shown in Table 1.

[0059] Electrodes are manufactured using the composite lithium storage materials for lithium-ion batteries prepared in Examples 1 to 10 and the silicon-carbon composite material prepared in Comparative Example 1, the batteries are assembled, and their electrochemical properties, charge specific capacity, and Coulomb efficiency of the first cycle are measured and evaluated. The test data are shown in Table 1.

[0060]

Table 1

[0061] From the comparison between Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 10, it can be seen that the charge specific capacity and Coulomb efficiency of the first cycle of the batteries in Examples 1 to 10 of the present invention are superior to those of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the batteries in Examples 1 to 10 of the present invention have better cycle characteristics and charging performance. This is because in the structure of the composite lithium storage material according to the examples of the present invention, a porous graphitizable carbon material is used as the matrix, and more nanosilicon particles can be deposited in the through pores. Therefore, it has a higher compression density, further increases the charge specific capacity of the material, is more advantageous for the insertion and desorption of lithium ions in the charge-discharge process, and at the same time alleviates the structural damage caused by volume expansion, improving the cycle characteristics and charging performance of the material. At the same time, the present invention can further improve the specific capacity of the material and the Coulomb efficiency of the first cycle by adjusting the flow rate of the working gas, the flow rate of the carrier gas, the operating voltage and current of the plasma generator. The present invention can control the flow rates of the working gas and the carrier gas to uniformly deposit gaseous silicon in the pores of the porous graphitizable carbon material. When the flow rates of the working gas and the carrier gas are too high, the gaseous silicon is unevenly deposited in the porous carbon material and directly deposited on its surface, avoiding affecting the performance of the battery.

The above are only the specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
