Description

Lithium borosilicate alloy cathode active material of lithium secondary battery, cathode, preparation and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery electrode materials, and particularly relates to a lithium borosilicate alloy cathode and a preparation method thereof.

Background

With the continuous update of consumer electronic products and the increasing development of electric automobiles, the demand for new generation of high specific energy lithium ion batteries is increasing, and the development of cathode materials of the batteries from embedded carbon-based materials (with a theoretical capacity of 372mAh/g) to lithiatable metal materials, metal compounds and composite materials with high theoretical capacity is promoted. Wherein, silicon has the advantages of high theoretical capacity (4211mAh/g), good safety performance, wide source and the like, and becomes the mainstream of the research of novel cathode materials at home and abroad at present. However, when silicon is used as a negative electrode, the conductivity and the lithium ion diffusion coefficient are both low, so that the internal resistance is large and the rate performance is poor; the lithium ion causes a large volume change (about 300%) during insertion, and causes the phenomena of silicon particle breakage, pulverization, falling off, etc., the internal structure of the electrode is damaged, and the capacity is rapidly reduced.

In order to improve the characteristics of the silicon cathode, the general idea is to slow down the huge volume change of the silicon material in the process of lithium intercalation/deintercalation and improve the conductivity and the structural stability of the material. The prior art means is mainly to carry out nano-crystallization of silicon materials and various composite and porous structure designs on the basis of nano-crystallization. Patent CN106784707 discloses a method for preparing a nano silicon-carbon composite lithium ion battery cathode material, which is obtained by using micron silicon, organic matter and carbon source as raw materials and adopting the technical scheme of ball milling, granulation, high-temperature sintering and mixing with graphite, and overcomes the expansion of silicon material in the charging and discharging processes. Patent CN 105070894 discloses a porous silicon-based composite negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries, which is obtained by etching silicon alloy particles to obtain amorphous porous silicon, and further mixing and sintering the amorphous porous silicon with a carbon source.

However, the large specific surface area of nano-silicon and porous silicon results in large initial irreversible capacity loss, large consumption of electrolyte and lithium ions in the positive electrode material, low charge-discharge efficiency and poor stability, reduced energy density and cycle life of the battery, and is not favorable for commercial application. Therefore, reducing the irreversible capacity loss of the nano-silicon and improving the coulombic efficiency are the keys of practical application of the silicon negative electrode. The lithium-silicon alloy cathode formed by the metal lithium and the silicon can effectively reduce the irreversible capacity loss and improve the coulomb efficiency. The lithium-silicon alloy can be manufactured by a high-temperature melting method or a powder metallurgy method, however, because the metal lithium has extremely high activity, the requirements on oxygen partial pressure and water partial pressure in the manufacturing process are high, the process is complex, the cost is high, and the lithium-silicon alloy is not suitable for mass production. In addition, when the lithium-silicon alloy is applied to a lithium secondary battery, certain lithium dendrite problem still exists, and the problem of silicon expansion and pulverization is inevitable at the same time, so that the cycle performance of the battery is poor.
