This invention discloses a method for preparing
fluorine-
doped carbon materials and their applications, belonging to the field of battery materials technology. Addressing the core bottlenecks of severe
volume expansion and unstable SEI (
Sediment Interface) in high-energy-density
metal-
ion batteries, this invention abandons the traditional approach of directly modifying the active material of the negative
electrode. Instead, it proposes
fluorine doping modification of any carbon component in the
metal-
ion battery negative
electrode. Utilizing the
fluorine transfer from the fluorine-
doped carbon component to the active material interface during charge-
discharge cycles, a stable SEI rich in
metal fluorides and active material-fluorine bonds is induced, thereby improving the stability of the negative
electrode interface and suppressing
volume expansion. Directly
coating the active material with a fluorine source results in severe HF
etching of active materials such as
silicon and
tin. This invention achieves
fluorine doping by mixing a
fluorinated polymer with an HF-resistant carbon material, and then combining it with the active material, fundamentally avoiding the
etching risk. Furthermore, the process is simple and cost-controllable, providing a novel approach for the control of the metal-
ion battery negative
electrode interface.
