Technical field
The invention belongs to new material and electrochemical field, be specifically related to a kind of novel can charging-discharging lithium ion battery silicon oxide/carbon composite negative material and preparation method thereof.
Technical background
The fast development of portable electric appts and electric vehicle, requires that lithium ion battery possesses the advantages such as high power capacity, high security, high-energy-density.But the actual lithium storage content of current commercial graphite negative material of lithium ion battery used more and more its theoretical capacity of convergence (graphite theoretical capacity is 372mAh/g, 855mAh/cm
3), seriously limit lithium ion battery and apply widely.For meeting the demand of high performance lithium ion battery to high-capacity cathode material, the lithium ion battery negative electrode material of Novel high-specific capacity flexible must be researched and developed.
Silicium cathode causes the extensive concern of researchers with the theoretical lithium storage content (4200mAh/g) of its superelevation.But silicon-based anode easily causes electrode to ftracture and efflorescence up to the change in volume of 300% in charge and discharge process, and then causes electrode capacity to be decayed rapidly; And the electron conduction ability of silicon is poor, affect the performance of active component capacity and the high rate performance of electrode.For the above shortcoming of silicon, researchers have passed a lot of methods to improve the chemical property of silica-base material.
Preparing silica based composites is wherein a kind of highly effective approach.Silica material can form nano Si particle and nonactive phase Li in embedding lithium process first

4, active phase Si even particulate dispersion, in nonactive phases, forms silicon based composite material.Nonactive phase can prevent the reunion of nano Si particle on the one hand, and all right effectively bulk effect of buffer Si in charge and discharge process, obtains good cycle performance simultaneously.Therefore be oxidized silica-based composite negative pole material to cause researchers and pay close attention to widely.
At present in this field, people generally adopt the methods such as high temperature evaporation to prepare commercial Nano-meter SiO_2 powder, and as silicon source, further modification is carried out to it, as it mixed with graphite or amorphous carbon material, preparing SiO/C composite negative pole material by high-energy ball milling.Si-SiO for silicon source, by high-energy ball milling and high-temperature heat treatment, prepares with commercialization silica powder in power supply research institute Liu Xing river, Tianjin seminar
2-C composite.With electrode prepared by this material, its first reversible capacity be 730mAh/g, the capability retention after 80 times that circulates is about 80%(Z.Lu, etal.JournalofPowerSources195 (2010): 4304-4307).Chil-HoonDoh seminar of electrician research institute of Korea S carries out high-energy ball milling process to commercialization silica powder and graphite mixing and prepares SiO/C composite material, with electrode prepared by this material, its first discharge specific capacity and charge specific capacity are respectively 1556 and 693mAh/g(C.H.Doh,, 30 circulation after reversible capacity still have 688mAh/g etal.JournalofPowerSources179 (2008): 367-370).Also some researchers are had to utilize hydro thermal method to prepare silica based composites.Inst. of Physics, CAS Wang Zhaoxiang teaches research group and utilizes TEOS for silicon source, prepares silicon dioxide/hard carbon composite negative pole material by hydro thermal method.With electrode prepared by this material, its first reversible specific capacity up to 630mAh/g(B.Guo, etal.ElectrochemistryCommunications10 (2008): 1876-1878), but cycle performance is general.This seminar take tetraethoxysilane as silicon source, silica/carbon composite is prepared in conjunction with heat treatment by st ber method, electrode cycle reversible capacity is about 800mAh/g, there is good cycle performance (J.Wang, etal.JournalofPowerSources196 (2011): 4811-4815).
Adopt business-like silica powder be raw material due to preparation method, cause its price costly, and preparation silica powder performance not easy-regulating.The technique such as high-energy ball milling and hydro thermal method simultaneously, the danger that productive rate is low, operation tool is certain, is unfavorable for the industrial applications being oxidized silicon based anode material.
Low-temperature combustion synthesis technology (LCS) is a kind of material synthesis technology of rising in recent years, and it adopts slaine saturated aqueous solution-organic-fuel mixture to be raw material, synthesizing superfine powder under lower firing temperature and combustion heat release temperature.The appearance of LCS is the important expansion to SHS technology (SHS), and the preparation for nano-powder opens new approach.Liquid phase batching ensure that the dispersed of each component, and firing temperature is lower by (200 ~ 500
oc), combustion process is rapid, and technique is simple, consumes energy low.This reaction liberated heat makes reaction spontaneously carry out, and synthetic product, has autocatalytic characteristics.And in course of reaction, discharge a large amount of gas, cause combustion product to expand into loose foam, avoid intergranular hard aggregation, be conducive to the dispersion of powder granule.Since the later stage nineties, adopt the research of LCS synthesis oxide nano-powder to receive researchers and more and more paid close attention to.Adopt LCS technology to prepare silica based composites, can obtain the nanoporous powder of good dispersion, this process yields is large, is convenient to scale preparation.
