[0045] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but those skilled in the art will understand that the following examples are for illustration only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. When specific conditions are not specified in the examples, they are carried out under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. When the manufacturers of the reagents or instruments used are not specified, they are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.

[0046] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure relates to a porous carbon including micropores, the percentage of the pore volume of the micropores to the total pore volume being greater than or equal to 85%, and in a pore distribution curve in which the abscissa is the pore diameter and the ordinate is the differential pore volume dV / dW obtained by nitrogen adsorption method, the porous carbon has a differential pore volume dV / dW > 0.05 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 .

[0047] That is, the pore distribution curve has no intersection with the abscissa axis (the pore distribution curve has no intersection with the abscissa axis means that the differential pore volume dV / dW≠0) in the range of 1-2 nm (not including the end value) and the pore distribution curve is not close to the abscissa axis (the pore distribution curve is close to the abscissa axis means that the differential pore volume dV / dW≤0.05 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 ).

[0048] In the present disclosure, according to the definition of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), micropore refers to a pore with a pore size less than 2 nm.

[0049] Without being bound by theory, the serious volume effect of silicon in the charging and discharging process and other basic problems seriously hinder the effective play of its advantages. In the porous carbon of the present disclosure, the percentage of the pore volume of the pores with a pore size less than 2 nm (micropores) in the total pore volume (i.e., the micropore rate) is large, which can effectively improve the silicon loading efficiency, reserve a part of space for the nanoscale silicon cycle process to alleviate the volume expansion caused by the expansion of silicon, has the effect of relieving the volume expansion of silicon when lithium is inserted, can reduce the volume expansion rate of the silicon-based negative electrode material, and improve the cycle stability of the battery.

[0050] Without being bound by theory, the pores with a pore size in the range of 1-2 nm (not including the end value) have two types of pore distribution, one is peak type distribution, and the other is stack type distribution.

[0051] Among them, the peak type pore structure mainly appears in the range of 1-2 nm (not including the end value), the pore distribution curve has more than one intersection with the abscissa axis or is close to the abscissa axis, and further, in most cases, the peak type pore structure has at least one peak in the range of 1-2 nm, and / or the porous carbon has at least one peak valley in the range of 1-2 nm, and the lowest point of the peak valley Dv / Dw<0.05 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 ; the peak type pore distribution is mainly characterized by the fact that as the pore size increases, the pore distribution changes in a peak valley type, and the transition of the pore size is relatively steep. In the peak type pore structure, the pore size distribution is discontinuous, and the total pore number is insufficient. As shown in FIG. 8, the peak type pore will have a sudden change in diameter, and when the pore is deep and the pore diameter is small, the nanosilicon will have a larger resistance to overcome, and the relative distance that can diffuse (compared with the pore depth) is shorter, and therefore, the utilization rate of the pore is also lower.

[0052] The characteristics of the distribution of the Luang-type pores mainly lie in that as the pore size increases, the pore distribution changes in a mountainous manner, the pore size transition is relatively smooth and gentle, and in the interval of 1-2 nm, the pore distribution curve has no intersection with the abscissa axis, and is not close to the abscissa axis, and the pore distribution is relatively uniform. The pore size distribution of the Luang-type structure is continuous and uninterrupted, the total number of pores is relatively large, and the pore depth is basically uniform. As shown in FIG. 7, the Luang-type pore depth does not suddenly change like the peak-type pore, so that the local resistance generated by the change in diameter can be reduced, which is conducive to the entry of the gas-phase silicon deposition precursor molecules (such as silane molecules) and improves the silicon loading efficiency. The porous carbon with the above characteristics is conducive to making the silicon-carbon have higher capacity and efficiency, and lower expansion performance.

[0053] In some embodiments, on the pore size distribution curve of the porous carbon, there is at least one peak corresponding to the interval of 1-2 nm; and / or, the porous carbon has at least one peak valley in the interval of 1-2 nm, and the differential pore volume dV / dW corresponding to the lowest point of the peak valley is greater than 0.1 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 , including but not limited to 0.11 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 , 0.12 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 , 0.15 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 , 0.2 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 , 0.5 cm 3 ·g -1 ·nm -1 , etc., or a range value between any two of the above.

[0054] In some embodiments, in the porous carbon, the percentage of the pore volume of the pores with a pore size less than 0.7 nm accounts for less than 30% of the total pore volume. In some embodiments, the percentage of the pores with a pore size less than 0.7 nm of the porous carbon includes but is not limited to 1%, 2%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 28%, 29%, etc., or a range value between any two of the above. The ultra-micropores with a pore size below 0.7 nm are difficult for silane molecules to enter during deposition, so the percentage of the ultra-micropores needs to be limited. The percentage of the pores with a pore size less than 0.7 nm of the porous carbon of the present disclosure is less than 30%, which is more conducive to ensuring the silicon loading efficiency of the porous carbon, so as to facilitate the performance of the silicon-carbon material.

[0055] In some embodiments, the pore volume of the porous carbon is greater than 0.7 cm 3 / g. In some embodiments, the pore volume of the porous carbon includes, but is not limited to, 0.72 cm 3 / g, 0.75 cm 3 / g, 0.8 cm 3 / g, 0.85 cm 3 / g, 0.9 cm 3 / g, 1 cm 3 / g, or a range between any two of the above. In some embodiments, the pore volume of the porous carbon is 0.7-1.0 cm 3 / g. The pore volume of the porous carbon of the present disclosure is appropriate, which is conducive to ensuring its physicochemical properties and facilitating the subsequent loading of silicon material, so as to ensure that it has an appropriate silicon loading rate, thereby improving the capacity and initial efficiency of the silicon-carbon composite material.

The particle size Dv99 of the porous carbon is 10-25 μm, including but not limited to 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, or a range between any two of the above.

The porous carbon of the present disclosure has a relatively high conductivity.

[0060] In some embodiments, the mass content of elemental oxygen in the porous carbon is less than 2%, including but not limited to 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, etc., or a range between any two of the above.

[0137] Experimental Example

[0138] 1. Performance test of the porous carbon

[0139] The test methods of the specific surface area, pore volume, and <2 nm pore ratio of the porous carbon in each example and comparative example are as follows:

[0140] Specific surface area and pore volume: tested according to GB / T 19587-2017. The measurements were performed using an ASAP 2460 (from Micromeritics) working according to the Sorption Method with Adaptive dosing Rate (SMART method). As reference materials, the standards GB13905 (9.01 m 2 / g based on the multipoint BET method), GB13913 (5.78 m 2 / g based on the multipoint BET method) and GB13909 (Mesoporous SiO2 Specific Surface Area, Total Pore Volume and Pore Size Standard Reference Material) can be used.

[0141] To reduce the dead volume, a filling rod was added to the reference and sample tubes. The tubes were installed on the BET apparatus. The saturated vapour pressure of nitrogen (N2 4.0) was determined. An amount of sample was weighed into a glass tube such that the tube containing the filling rod was completely filled and the smallest dead volume was created. To dry the sample, the sample was kept under vacuum at 200 °C for 2 h. After cooling, the sample weight was recorded. The glass tube containing the sample was installed on the measuring apparatus. To degas the sample, it was evacuated at the selected pumping speed such that no material was sucked into the pump, reaching a final pressure of 200 mTorr.

[0142] Micropore fraction (micropore rate) test method: the percentage of the pore volume of the pores with a pore size less than 2 nm in the total pore volume in the porous carbon was tested by nitrogen adsorption method. The nitrogen adsorption measurement was carried out at liquid nitrogen temperature (77.3 K) using an ASAP 2460 instrument of Micromeritics Company. Before measurement, the sample was degassed at 443 K until a static vacuum of less than 0.01 Torr was reached. The adsorption potential distribution was calculated according to the adsorption isotherm using the standard instrument software DFT (NLDFT) software.

[0143] The above test results of the porous carbons of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are shown in Table 1.

[0144] Table 1 Physical parameters of porous carbons

[0145] The pore size distribution curve of the porous carbon in Example 1 of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1, the pore size distribution curve of the porous carbon in Example 2 is shown in FIG. 2, and the pore size distribution curve of the porous carbon in Example 3 is shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen that, in the porous carbon of the present disclosure, as the pore size increases, the pore distribution changes in a mountainous manner. In the pore size range of 1-2 nm, the pore size distribution curve has no intersection with the abscissa, and the pore transition is relatively smooth and gentle, that is, the micropore channels of the porous carbon are relatively uniform. The pore size of the porous carbon of the present disclosure is in a pine type distribution, as shown in FIG. 7, the pore size distribution is continuous and uninterrupted, the total pore number is relatively large, and the pore depth is basically uniform, which can reduce the local resistance caused by the change in diameter, is conducive to the entry of silane molecules, improves the silicon loading efficiency, and is conducive to improving the electrochemical performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0146] The pore size distribution curve of the porous carbon in Comparative Example 1 of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 4. It can be seen that, in the pore size range of 1-2 nm, the pore size curve has multiple intersections with the abscissa, and as the pore size increases, the pore distribution changes in a peak-valley type manner with high peaks and low valleys, and the pore transition is relatively steep, that is, the micropore channels are not uniform, and there are significant diameter changes. The schematic diagram of the peak type pores of the porous carbon in Comparative Example 1 is shown in FIG. 8. The pore size distribution is discontinuous, and the total pore number is insufficient. When the pore is deep and the pore diameter is small, the resistance that needs to be overcome for the nanosilicon to enter is greater, and the relative distance that can diffuse (compared with the pore depth) is shorter. Therefore, the utilization rate of the pores is also lower, which is not conducive to the loading of silicon materials and the performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material.

[0147] The porous carbon in Comparative Example 2 of the present disclosure is purchased from Dachao Carbon Energy Co., Ltd. The pore size distribution curve of the porous carbon is shown in FIG. 5. The pore volume of the pores with a pore size less than 0.7 nm accounts for a relatively high percentage of the total pore volume.

[0148] The porous carbon in Comparative Example 3 of the present disclosure is purchased from Jiangsu Pusida Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. The pore size distribution curve of the porous carbon is shown in FIG. 6. The specific surface area is relatively low, and the micropore rate is low.

Before measurement, the sample was degassed at 443K until a static vacuum of less than 0.01 torr was reached. The adsorption point distribution was calculated according to the adsorption isotherm, and the standard instrument software DFT (NLDFT) software. In order to reduce the dead volume, a packing rod was added to the reference tube and sample tube (the specific test method is the same as that of the test method of the specific surface area of the porous carbon).

[0152] Particle size test: The Malvern 3000 device was used for testing, and the test was carried out according to the national standard GB / T 19077-2016.

[0153] Tap density test: The Dandong Bitai BT313 tap density instrument was used for testing, and the test was carried out according to the national standard GB / T 24533-2019.

[0154] Silicon content test: The silicon content was tested by a thermogravimetric analyzer at 1000℃ in air for 1h, the carbon was completely oxidized and lost weight, and the silicon was completely converted into silicon dioxide, and then the weight of the added oxygen was used to calculate the silicon content in the silicon-carbon material. The specific process is as follows:

[0155] (1) About 2g of silicon-carbon material was weighed, and the actual mass was recorded as m0; and was placed in a crucible with a mass of m1;

[0156] (2) The crucible was placed in a tube furnace or a muffle furnace, and compressed air was continuously supplied, and the temperature was raised to 600℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min, and was kept for 1h, and then was raised to 1000℃ at the same rate, and was kept for 1h;

[0157] (3) After natural cooling to room temperature, the crucible was taken out, and the mass was m2;

[0158] (4) The Si content Si% was calculated as (m2-m1)×MSi÷MSiO2÷m0×100%;

[0159] Wherein, Note: MSiO2 is the relative molecular mass of SiO2 60.084g / mol; MSi is the relative molecular mass of Si 28.0855g / mol.

[0160] Silane utilization rate% = [amount of collected material (g) x silicon content (%)] / [volume of silane (L) x density of silane (g / L)].

[0161] The performance test results of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material are shown in Table 2.

[0162] Table 2 Performance test results of silicon-carbon negative electrode material

[0163] As can be seen from Table 2, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material obtained by the method of the embodiments of the present disclosure has suitable particle size, specific surface area, tap density and silicon content, and the silane utilization rate is high, reaching 93% and above.
