Description

Silicon-carbon composite material, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lithium ion battery cathode materials, and particularly relates to a silicon-carbon composite material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Lithium ion batteries have become an important energy storage device for portable electronic devices due to their high energy density, however, new batteries used in emerging electric transportation systems should have higher specific capacity, energy density and better cycle life than conventional batteries. Among the numerous lithium ion battery negative electrode materials, silicon is considered to be the most promising material due to its exceptionally high specific capacity, abundant reserves in the earth's crust, and the advantages of the developed manufacturing industrial infrastructure. The research history of silicon for lithium ion batteries has been over 30 years, but the mechanical pulverization and rapid capacity decay of the silicon material seriously affect the cycle performance thereof, thereby limiting the practical application of the silicon material in lithium ion batteries. Carbon materials have extremely stable cycle characteristics although their specific capacities are not high, and thus are the main negative electrode materials on the market at present. The carbon material has higher electronic conductivity and provides a better electronic channel for the composite material; meanwhile, the stress change caused by the volume deformation of the silicon material can be alleviated after the carbon and the silicon material are compounded. The combination of the two materials has attracted more and more attention to the preparation of silicon/carbon composite negative electrode materials with high specific capacity and long service life for lithium ion batteries.
At present, the silicon-carbon composite material mainly comprises a coating type and an embedding type. The coated silicon-carbon composite material is formed by coating a layer of carbon on the surface of silicon, so that the coated silicon-carbon composite material has the functions of buffering phase change caused by the volume effect of the silicon and providing an electron transmission channel. According to different composite structures of silicon and carbon, the coated silicon-carbon composite material can be divided into a core-shell type, a fiber type and a porous type; the active silicon particles are embedded into the structural conductive carbon matrix to obtain the embedded silicon-carbon composite material. However, the existing methods for preparing the silicon-carbon composite material have the disadvantages of harsh conditions, high cost, complex steps, serious pollution, involvement of a plurality of toxic substances and great harm to people. For example, in "preparation method of silicon carbon anode material" (CN104103821A), a catalyst is first placed in a chemical vapor deposition reaction chamber; heating the chemical vapor deposition reaction chamber, introducing a reaction gas source and a carrier gas into the chemical vapor deposition reaction chamber, and making Si-SiOx generated in the chemical vapor deposition reaction process pass through a dynamically rotating carbon matrix subjected to carboxylation treatment to prepare a precursor of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material. The reactant gas source is SiH4、SiH3R、SiH2R2、SiHR3One or more of them, chemical vapor deposition is carried out. The process has high risk coefficient, large operation difficulty coefficient and high cost, and is not suitable for large-scale production. For another example, in "a method for preparing a silicon-carbon negative electrode composite" (CN201710064083.4), a hydrothermal method is used to coat a carbon precursor on the surface of silicon powder, and then the carbon precursor is calcined in an inert atmosphere; dispersing the calcined material in the mixed solution, and drying after high-speed dispersion; and corroding the dried material with a corrosive liquid. The hydrothermal method is adopted to coat carbon on the surface of the silicon, which is not only unsafe, but also low in yield, and the porous silicon obtained by corrosion of the corrosive liquid has a pore channel structureMessy and can be pulverized during circulation. In addition, the carbon coating of nano-silicon is performed by Laser treatment, for example, the document "One-Step Synthesis of Si @ C Nanoparticles by Laser Pyrolysis": High performance inorganic materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries (ACS appl. Material. interfaces 2015,7(12): 6637-) 6644), which requires a Laser treatment apparatus, requires High usage of acetylene gas, has High requirements on equipment, is expensive, and cannot be widely applied in large scale.
In addition, the composite material prepared by the method has the defects of low volume energy density and power energy density and incapability of meeting the application requirements of the battery cathode material.
