Technical field
The invention belongs to new material and electrochemical field, be specifically related to a kind of novel can the preparation method of charging-discharging lithium ion battery silicon oxide/carbon composite negative material.
Technical background
Along with the raising of the electrified demand of the industrial expansions such as electronics, communication, space flight, automobile and daily necessities, people are miniaturized to lithium ion battery, high-octane requirement is day by day urgent.Current business-like lithium ion battery negative material mainly graphite cathode material, through a large amount of improvements, the actual lithium storage content of current graphite more and more its theoretical capacity of convergence (graphite theoretical capacity is 372 mAh/g, 855 mAh/cm
3), be difficult to meet portable electric appts and electric automobile to the requirement of lithium ion battery high-energy-density, the lithium ion battery negative electrode material of Novel high-specific capacity flexible must be researched and developed.
The theoretical lithium storage content of silicon, up to 4200 mAh/g, is a kind of very rising height ratio capacity negative material, now one of focus becoming this area research.But silicon-based anode with huge change in volume, easily causes electrode to ftracture and efflorescence, causes electrode cycle degradation in charge and discharge process.And the electron conduction ability of silicon is poor, affect the performance of electrode active component capacity and the multiplying power property of electrode.For the above shortcoming of silicon, researchers conduct extensive research improving silicon-based anode.Preparing silica based composites is exactly a kind of wherein method effectively can improving silicium cathode cycle performance.Oxidation silicon based anode material can form active phase nano Si particle and nonactive phase Li in embedding lithium process first
2o and Li
4siO
4, active phase Si particle will be dispersed in nonactive mutually in.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 silica based combined electrode material causes researchers' more and more concern.
At present in this field, the general commercialization SiO powder standby with high temperature evaporation legal system of researchers, for silicon source, carries out modification to it.As prepared SiO/C composite negative pole material by methods such as high-energy ball milling, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or hydro-thermals.Chil-Hoon Doh 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 693 mAh/g(C.H. Doh, et al. Journal of Power Sources 179 (2008): 367-370), after 30 circulations, reversible capacity still has 688 mAh/g.Wu Naili seminar of chemical engineering institute of Univ Nat Taiwan carries out high-energy ball milling to commercialization SiO powder and chemical vapor deposition process prepares SiO/C composite material, material is made electrode, it discharges first and charging capacity is respectively 1056 and 675 mAh/g, 620 mAh/g(W. Liu are still kept, et al. Journal of Applied Electrochemistry 39 (2009): 1643-1649) after 50 circulations.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 800 mAh/g(J. Wang, et al. Journal of Power Sources 196 (2011): 4811-4815).
Adopt commercialization SiO powder to be silicon source preparation oxidation silicon based anode material, owing to adopting high temperature evaporation legal system complicated for commercialization SiO powder craft, cost is higher, is unfavorable for suitability for industrialized production, and the performance of material not easy-regulating.And the high-energy ball milling adopted, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and hydro thermal method technique are comparatively complicated; productive rate is low; cost is high; be unfavorable for the scale preparation of silica based composites; therefore be necessary to study a kind of raw material relatively cheap; technique is simple and easy to manipulation, the preparation method of the oxidation silicon based anode material that output is larger.
Carbon aerogels is prepared with sol-gel process, freeze-drying and high temperature cabonization technique by Ma Zifeng seminar of chemical industry system of Shanghai Communications University, then carbon aerogels and silica powder are carried out ball-milling treatment prepares silica-carbon aerogels composite negative pole material.Material is made electrode, reversible capacity is 685 mAh/g first, after 30 circulations, capacity is still 539 mAh/g, and electrode has good high rate performance (Y. Chao, et al. Electrochimica Acta 53 (2008): 3468-3473).The porosity characteristic of carbon aerogels can the effective change in volume of buffer Si O material in charge and discharge process, and can increase the electronic conductance ability of material, improves cycle performance and the high rate performance of electrode.Carbon aerogels can also provide good electron propagation ducts simultaneously.But freeze drying and high temperature cabonization technique comparatively complicated, cost is higher, limits the possibility of its industrialization.If the preparation of nano silicon oxide and the preparation of carbon aerogels are combined as a whole, and adopt constant pressure and dry technique to prepare material, on the one hand by Simplified flowsheet, reduce costs, nano silicon oxide being uniformly distributed in carbon aerogels can be realized on the other hand, be conducive to the raising of electrode cycle stability.
