Description

Silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material of lithium ion battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof
Background
At present, the cathode material of the commercial lithium ion battery is mainly a graphite cathode material, however, with the improvement of the requirement of the electric automobile and the large-scale equipment on the energy density of the battery, the graphite cathode material cannot meet the actual requirement due to the low theoretical capacity (372mAh/g), and therefore, the development of the cathode material with high energy density is urgently needed.
Silicon is considered to have the potential of replacing graphite cathode materials in the next generation due to the fact that the silicon has high theoretical capacity (4200mAh/g) and lower lithium extraction potential (< 0.05V), the voltage platform is slightly higher than that of graphite, lithium extraction on the silicon surface is difficult to cause during charging and discharging, and safety performance is better. However, silicon also has problems when used as a negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery, and during the charge and discharge cycle, lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation can cause the volume of the material to expand and contract by 300%, and the generated mechanical stress can cause the material to be gradually pulverized and the structure to collapse, so that an active substance is finally dropped on a current collector, and the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery is greatly reduced. In addition, since silicon is a semiconductor material, poor conductivity further limits the application of silicon to lithium ion battery negative electrode materials. Therefore, a host material capable of not only increasing the conductivity of the material but also suppressing the volume expansion of the silicon material, thereby improving the electrochemical performance, is urgently needed to be found.
Graphene is considered as a star material due to the unique flexible two-dimensional planar structure, ultrahigh conductivity and specific surface area, so that the graphene and nano silicon are compounded to form the graphene/nano silicon composite material, the volume expansion of the nano silicon in the charging and discharging process can be relieved, the conductivity of the material can be improved, and the electrochemical performance of the material can be improved.
However, most of the methods for preparing graphene/nano silicon composite materials disclosed in the prior art adopt a process of preparing graphene and then compounding the graphene with silicon materials, which results in high cost and is not suitable for industrialization. Huang et al (Journal of physical chemistry Letters,2012,3(13):1824) use atomization method to prepare graphene and silicon aerosol, and prepare core-shell structured folded graphene and silicon composite material through pretreatment and calcination, wherein the composite material has no specific capacity decay phenomenon after 200 weeks of circulation in a button cell. Guo (chemical communications,2012,48(16):2198-200) adopts freeze drying and thermal reduction methods to prepare silicon-carbon composite materials in which nano-silicon is embedded on graphene nano-sheets.
Chinese patent CN201510252804.5 discloses a preparation method of graphene-based silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material, which comprises the following steps: the preparation method comprises the steps of firstly preparing three-dimensional graphene particles, and then depositing nano-silicon on the surface of graphene by a deposition method, so that the process is complex, the cost is high, and the deposited nano-silicon is easy to agglomerate in the sintering process, so that the cycle performance of the electrode material is reduced.
Chinese patent CN201710544133.9 discloses a preparation method of a graphene-silicon carbon lithium ion battery cathode material, which comprises the following steps: graphene coating of nano silicon particles, carbon coating of the primary composite material, carbonization and mixing; however, the graphene and silicon sand milling process of the method is easy to cause silicon to be oxidized into silicon dioxide, so that the capacity of the silicon-based composite material is reduced.
