Compared with lead-acid and nickel-hydrogen batteries, the lithium ion battery has the advantages of high energy density, high working voltage, small volume, light weight, no pollution, good safety, long service life and the like, and is an ideal energy storage device. In recent years, lithium ion batteries have been developed vigorously in the aspects of mobile portable devices (mobile phones, notebook computers, digital cameras, tablet computers and the like), energy storage devices, power grid peak shaving and vehicle power batteries, but with the social progress and scientific and technological development, people have more and more urgent needs for miniaturized, lightweight and multifunctional devices, and higher requirements for the performance of the lithium ion batteries are provided, and the improvement of the performance of the lithium ion batteries greatly depends on the development and improvement of a negative electrode material.
At present, the carbon material is the most successful negative electrode material of commercial lithium ion batteries, and comprises natural graphite, artificial graphite, mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) and the like, wherein the natural graphite has the advantages of high specific capacity, high compacted density, wide sources, simple process and the like, and always occupies the main position of the negative electrode material market, but the deficiency of the natural graphite is also obvious: the first charge-discharge efficiency is low, the irreversible capacity loss is large, the dependence on electrolyte is strong, the electrode expansion rate is large, the cycle life is limited, and the like.
Among the methods for improving the electrochemical performance of carbon negative electrode materials, the secondary granulation process is a very effective approach. The secondary granulation is a process of bonding carbon precursors with surface activity into secondary particles through high-temperature heat treatment under the assistance of adhesive pitch or other organic matters, and can shorten the transmission path of lithium ions, improve the multiplying power performance, increase the isotropy, promote the reduction of the isotropic expansion of the pole piece and the like.
CN 103311520B discloses a composite graphite negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries and a preparation method thereof, which comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly mixing spherical natural graphite, mesophase graphite and a graphitization catalyst to obtain a mixture; (2) kneading the mixture and the binder to obtain a kneaded mass; (3) carbonizing the kneaded mass, cooling, and then carrying out catalytic graphitization high-temperature treatment; (4) crushing and grading the product obtained in the step (3); wherein, the binder in the step (2) is petroleum asphalt and/or coal asphalt. The obtained composite graphite cathode has good electrochemical performance, the discharge capacity is more than 360mAh/g, the composite graphite cathode has high charge-discharge efficiency, high-current charge-discharge performance, good cycle performance and good safety. However, a large number of crushing and grinding processes adopted for preparing the material can destroy the cohesiveness among secondary particles, and simultaneously can generate a large number of active surfaces, thereby increasing the side reaction of the electrode plate in the charging and discharging processes.
