Description

Graphene-based composite negative electrode material, preparation method thereof and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials, relates to a negative electrode material, and particularly relates to a graphene-based composite negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery.
Background
As a mature electrochemical power system, lithium ion batteries have been applied to various aspects of people's daily life, but their performance still cannot fully meet various requirements in application. The most widely applied lithium ion battery cathode material at present is a graphite material, which has a good layered structure, a stable discharge platform, small volume change in the lithium intercalation and deintercalation process and no voltage hysteresis phenomenon, but the graphite cathode material has a capacity upper limit value and is difficult to break through; the compatibility and the liquid absorption capacity with the electrolyte are poor, so that the cycling stability of the battery is poor; and the high-current charge and discharge performance and the multiplying power performance need to be improved. At present, the successful modification methods such as oxidation or halogenation on the surface of a graphite matrix, coating of amorphous carbon, metal and oxides thereof, polymers and the like on the surface, or doping of metal or nonmetal elements can achieve the purpose of improving the comprehensive performance of the graphite cathode by simultaneously modifying the composition and the surface state of the graphite matrix.
The difference of the rate charge and discharge of the lithium ion battery depends on the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the material and the conduction speed of electrons. For the graphite cathode material, the conduction rate of electrons is good, and the electron conduction is difficult to further improve unless graphene with better conductivity is adopted to enhance the electron conduction. Graphene is a single-layer structure of graphite, can be obtained by liquid-phase oxidation, thermal expansion, mechanical peeling and reduction of graphite, and has the characteristics of high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, high mechanical strength, high flexibility, high stability and the like, so that the composite of graphene and graphite shows various excellent performances. The composite material is used as a lithium ion battery cathode material, shows enhanced conductivity and improves the battery power characteristic; the lithium storage capacity is increased, and the energy density of the battery is improved; enhanced cycle stability, extended battery life, etc. However, the pure-phase graphene material has high production cost, and the graphene sheet has a large specific surface area, is difficult to exist independently, is easy to agglomerate, and is difficult to disperse uniformly in the graphite phase. Therefore, the selection of a proper graphene-based composite process in the graphite negative electrode material is the first technical problem to be solved in the field.
For graphite negative electrode materials, the conduction rate of lithium ions is mainly influenced by factors such as particle size, particle size distribution, orientation, morphology and surface state. The smaller particles lead to the great shortening of the lithium ion diffusion path, can reduce the concentration polarization of lithium ions, and is more favorable for the rapid charge and discharge and the cycling stability of the battery; the polymer particles are formed by aggregating a plurality of smaller particles, have better orientation and imbibition capability, and are beneficial to the diffusion of lithium ions, especially the charging performance and the cycling performance at low temperature. Therefore, how to select a proper process to control the composition of the material, construct the structural morphology of the particles, and improve the comprehensive performance of the graphite anode material is a second technical problem to be solved in the field.
In the production process of graphite as a negative electrode material, raw materials need to be subjected to multiple processes of crushing, shaping, grading and the like, and the processes can cause the problems of reduction of the utilization rate of the raw materials, pollution of dust environment, increase of process cost and the like, and the raw material utilization rate in the whole production process is usually 40-50% and the rest 50-60% of the raw materials form 'tailings', and the 'tailings' consist of micro powder and have the characteristics of small particle size, high specific surface area, irregular shape, low tap density and the like, can not be directly used as the negative electrode material of the lithium ion battery, and are usually used as a carburant in the aspects of ferrous metallurgy and the like, so the utilization value is extremely low, the production cost is increased, and a large amount of material waste is caused. Therefore, finding a suitable method to treat the 'tailings' in the production process and improve the utilization value of the materials is a third technical problem to be solved urgently in the field.
CN108206268A discloses a negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof, a negative electrode plate and a lithium ion battery, wherein the negative electrode material includes a plurality of first particles and a cross-linked polymer, and the plurality of first particles are close-packed by the cross-linked polymer to form second particles, wherein the first particles include a silicon core and a shell material coating layer, and a cavity is formed between the silicon core and the shell material coating layer. The negative electrode material further comprises a conductive additive, wherein the conductive additive comprises at least one of graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers and conductive carbon black. The homodisperse of graphite alkene can't effectively be realized to this scheme, can't solve the processing problem of graphite tails simultaneously.
CN107200322A discloses a method for preparing a negative electrode material for a lithium battery by using special graphite tailings. The method comprises the following steps: s1, performing spheroidization treatment on special graphite tailing particles, adding a binder, and uniformly mixing to obtain a premix; s2, ultrasonically dispersing graphene oxide in a solvent to obtain a suspension dispersion liquid, standing, and uniformly spraying and mixing the upper layer stable dispersion liquid into the premix in the S1 to obtain a mixture; and S3, pressing the mixture in the S2 to obtain a pressed block, roasting the pressed block in the mixed atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen, cooling to room temperature, and then sequentially performing crushing, demagnetizing and screening on the pressed block to obtain the magnetic material. Although the scheme can solve the problem of processing graphite tailings, the problem of dispersion of graphene in the negative electrode material cannot be solved, and the appearance of the negative electrode is further optimized to improve the material performance.
CN107863511A discloses a method for preparing negative electrode powder for a lithium battery by recycling high-purity graphite scraps. Which comprises the following steps: sl, performing spheroidization treatment on special graphite tailing particles, then adding a binder and uniformly mixing to obtain a premix; s2, mixing graphene oxide and nano silicon in proportion in a solvent, performing ultrasonic dispersion to obtain a suspension dispersion liquid, standing, and uniformly spraying and mixing an upper layer of stable dispersion liquid into a premix in Sl to obtain a mixture, wherein the upper layer of stable dispersion liquid can be regarded as a dispersion system of the graphene oxide and the nano silicon powder; and (3) pressing the mixture in the step (S2) to obtain a pressed block, roasting the pressed block in the mixed atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen, cooling to room temperature, and crushing, demagnetizing and screening the pressed block in sequence to obtain the negative electrode material for the lithium battery. Although the scheme can solve the problem of processing the graphite tailings, the problem of dispersion of graphene in the negative electrode material cannot be solved, and the appearance of the negative electrode is further optimized to improve the material performance.
Therefore, the development of the cathode material which has a proper structural morphology and high graphene dispersion degree and can solve the problem of graphite tailing treatment is of great significance to the field.
