Background technology
Lithium ion battery is the secondary chemical sources of electric energy that repeats to discharge and recharge of the tool development prospect of people approval up to now, it has than cadmium nickel secondary batteries and the much higher energy density of lead-acid battery, and has a smaller volume specific energy, inside battery does not contain the element that environment is had severe contamination, be that current people study one of maximum chemical power source system, good development prospect is arranged.Lithium ion battery has been widely applied to small portable electrical equipment now, as fields such as mobile phone, palmtop PC, CD players.Along with the develop rapidly of science and technology, constantly new power consumption equipment that occurs and people to improving constantly of requiring of power supply unit cause people require lithium ion battery towards littler, lighter, energy density is higher, the direction of longer service life develops.In order to satisfy these requirements, people are seeking has more high-energy-density and the better active material of cycle life.
The lithium ion battery negative material of current trend mostly adopts graphited material with carbon element, the theoretical capacity of this material is 372mAh/g, the actual now capacity (340-360mAh/g) that uses is near this numerical value, therefore, in order further to improve the specific capacity of battery, seeking new negative material has become everybody common task.At present, the material with carbon element that people have a new structure except research is used for the lithium ion battery, and non-carbon-based material also is the focus that everybody studies.In Al, Sn, Si and the alloy thereof and lithium titanate of existing research, silicon-based anode material and tin base cathode get more and more people's extensive concerning because of having very high reversible lithium storage amount (the reversible lithium storage amount as monocrystalline silicon is 4200mAh/g).But existing studies show that, silica-base material and tin-based material all have bigger irreversible capacity first, and in the removal lithium embedded process, all there is serious bulk effect in they, and these shortcomings cause their practicality to be restricted.In order to improve the shortcoming of these negative materials, people attempt adopting multiple mode that it is carried out modification in the hope of reducing its irreversible capacity, raising cycle life first.Propose silica flour is broken into small-particle as CN1913200A, use the organic method of cracking carbon coated outside then, with specific capacity that improves negative material and the bulk effect that reduces silicon.By accessing first cycle efficieny after coat handling greater than 85%, capacity is greater than the silicon-carbon composite cathode material of 450mAh/g first.The raising of its negative pole performance has benefited from the bulk effect that surface coated carbon has suppressed silicon to a great extent.In like manner, in order to suppress the bulk effect of tin base cathode material, proposed a kind of method among the patent CN 1585160, this method is by solution reaction synthesis of nano~micron-sized Sn
