Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of batteries and relates to anode materials, for example, modified silicon carbon anode materials, and their preparation methods and uses. [Background technology]
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in daily life due to their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, and low cost. However, conventional graphite anodes have low specific capacity, which does not meet the development requirements of the new energy field. Therefore, the development of anode materials with high specific capacity has become crucial.
[0003] Currently, graphite is the most widely used anode material for lithium batteries, but its low theoretical capacity of 372 mAh / g makes it difficult to meet the need for high energy density. Silicon-based anode materials have theoretical capacities more than 10 times higher than commercial graphite anodes, and offer advantages such as low discharge potential and abundant reserves, making them considered one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon undergoes severe volume expansion during the lithium ion intercalation process, which causes the active material to pulverize and lose contact with the current collector and conductive material, resulting in reduced battery coulombic efficiency, poor cycling performance, and rapid capacity decay.
[0004] In the case of silicon carbon anode materials (Si / C anode materials), the volume effect during the silicon absorption and desorption process results in low initial Coulombic efficiency and large initial irreversible capacity, leaving room for improvement in high-power charge / discharge performance and cycle life. At the same time, when lithium ions are absorbed and released from the graphite anode, the volume of the graphite unit cell expands and contracts by approximately 10%, which means that graphite, as a matrix, has problems such as low initial charge / discharge efficiency and poor cycle stability.
[0005] CN110890538A discloses a method for improving the initial coulombic efficiency of a silicon-based lithium-ion battery anode material, which includes the steps of (1) measuring the hydroxyl group content on the surface of the silicon anode material, and (2) grafting a silane coupling agent onto the surface of the silicon anode material through organic chemical modification. The method involves measuring the hydroxyl group content on the surface of the silicon anode, and then reacting a specific amount of an inert group-containing silane coupling agent with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silicon anode to replace the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silicon anode, thereby improving the initial coulombic efficiency of the silicon anode. However, the method is complicated to operate and has low commercial viability.
[0006] CN110429265A discloses an MEG / Si / C composite anode material for lithium-ion batteries and its preparation method. The composite anode material contains 2-20 wt% nanosilicon powder, 1-3 wt% surfactant, 10-30 wt% carbon source, and the balance micro-expanded graphite. Expanded graphite is prepared by chemical oxidative intercalation and low-temperature thermal expansion techniques, followed by mechanical milling and high-temperature carbonization to prepare the expanded graphite / silicon / carbon composite anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, the preparation method suffers from high implementation difficulty, poor controllability, complex operation, high cost, and low commercial viability.
[0007] CN109411717A discloses a prelithiated negative electrode material with high reversible capacity and a method for preparing it. The negative electrode material includes a graphite-based carbon material, a metal oxide or silicon powder uniformly distributed thereon, and lithium carbonate. The preparation method involves stirring and mixing the metal oxide or silicon powder, lithium carbonate powder, graphite-based carbon powder, and a grinding aid, followed by ball milling. The addition of lithium carbonate to the negative electrode material reduces the irreversible capacity and improves the initial coulombic efficiency during the initial charge / discharge process, while the addition of a graphite-based carbon material improves the structural stability of the material and the conductivity of the electrode material during the reaction process. However, this method presents many difficulties in practical implementation due to its high cost, complex process, and certain risks.
[0008] Therefore, there is a need to provide a method for improving the first coulombic efficiency of silicon carbon anode materials that is simple, easy to implement, and efficient. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] The present application aims to provide a modified silicon-carbon anode material, its preparation method, and its use. The preparation method is simple and can achieve surface prelithiation of the silicon-carbon anode material through a simple solvothermal reaction, thereby reducing the irreversible capacity during the initial charge / discharge process and improving the initial coulombic efficiency to above 92%.

This replenishes the irreversible lithium loss during the cycling process of the silicon-carbon material, while the alcohol functional groups form an SEI film on the silicon-carbon surface, improving the stability of the silicon-carbon material and realizing prelithiation of the surface of the silicon-carbon anode material. When the silicon-carbon anode material is used in a lithium-ion battery, it reduces the irreversible capacity during the initial charge / discharge process and improves the initial coulombic efficiency.
