The method of preparing the negative active material for a lithium battery according to an embodiment of the present invention is further described in detail below. According to an embodiment of the invention, the method comprises:
s100: obtaining a first SiO dispersion and a first graphene oxide dispersion
In the step, the silicon monoxide is mixed with a solvent to obtain a first silicon monoxide dispersion liquid; and mixing the graphene oxide with a solvent to obtain a first graphene oxide dispersion liquid. In the above mixing, the ratio of the silica, the graphene oxide and the solvent is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can select the ratio according to actual needs.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the average particle size of the silica is 15 to 25nm, such as 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, and the like. Before the first SiO dispersion is prepared, the SiO is ball milled and milled to the above particle size. Therefore, the specific surface area of the silicon oxide can be further increased, and the coating of the surface of the graphene oxide is further facilitated. In addition, the specific operating conditions of the ball milling are not particularly limited, and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. In some embodiments of the present invention, the silica and the solvent may be put into a ball mill according to a certain ratio, the beads are added for ball milling, then the silica with the target particle size is obtained by washing and filtering, and the material for preparing the silica dispersion is obtained by vacuum drying. According to the specific example of the invention, the silicon monoxide and the solvent can be mixed according to the mass ratio of 1 (10-30), and the diameter of the grinding bead can be 1-3 mm. Therefore, the ball milling effect is better.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol. The solvent used for preparing the first silicon monoxide dispersion liquid is preferably water, the solvent used for preparing the first graphene monoxide dispersion liquid is preferably a mixed solvent of water and the organic solvent, and the solvent used for ball milling the silicon monoxide is preferably the organic solvent.

That is, the mixing ratio of the first SiO dispersion and the first graphene oxide dispersion is determined such that the mass ratio of SiO in the first SiO dispersion to graphene oxide in the first graphene oxide dispersion is 100 (0.1-2). By mixing the first silicon oxide dispersion liquid and the first graphene oxide dispersion liquid according to the above ratio, the coating effect of graphene oxide on the surface of the silicon oxide can be further improved.
S300: granulation treatment
In this step, the first product is mixed with a binder and a solvent, and subjected to granulation treatment to obtain fine silica particles. Therefore, the particles with larger particle size can be prepared from the silicon oxide coated with the graphene oxide for the second coating of the graphene oxide. In some embodiments of the present invention, after mixing the first product with the binder and the solvent, ultrasonic dispersion may be assisted to further improve the dispersion effect of the material.

The inventor finds in research that if the dosage of the binder is too low, the primary coating amount is less, the coating effect is not obvious, and the performance of the final product as a negative active material is affected; if the amount of the binder is too high, the electrical properties of the material may be affected.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the binder may include at least one selected from the group consisting of styrene-butadiene rubber, polyvinyl alcohol, a hydroxymethylcellulose salt, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylate and its derivatives, polyacrylonitrile, an acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymer, and polymethylmethacrylate. The adhesive has wide source, low cost and easy obtaining, has good adhesive effect on the first product, and has small influence on the electrical property of the material.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the granulation process comprises a closed cycle spray drying process. The first product, the binder and the solvent are mixed and granulated through closed circulation spray drying treatment, the product granularity is easy to control, and no external impurity is introduced into the material.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the average particle size of the silica fine particles is 5 to 15 μm, for example, 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, or the like.

S400: obtaining a second silica dispersion and a second graphene oxide dispersion
In this step, the silica fine particles are mixed with a solvent to obtain a second silica dispersion; and mixing the graphene oxide with a solvent to obtain a second graphene oxide dispersion liquid. In the above mixing, the ratio of the fine silica particles, the graphene oxide, and the solvent is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can select the ratio according to actual needs.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol. The solvent used for preparing the second silica dispersion is preferably water, the solvent used for preparing the second graphene oxide dispersion is preferably a mixed solvent of water and the above organic solvent, and the solvent used for ball milling silica is preferably the above organic solvent.
S500: secondary coating
In the step, the second silica dispersion liquid, the second graphene oxide dispersion liquid and a reducing agent are mixed so that graphene oxide is coated on the surface of the silica particles, and graphene oxide introduced in the secondary coating and the primary coating is reduced to graphene under the action of the reducing agent, so that a second product is obtained. Specifically, the second graphene oxide dispersion liquid can be added into the second silica oxide dispersion liquid, stirred at room temperature for 4-8 hours, and then filtered and dried to obtain a graphene secondary-coated silica oxide material (i.e., a second product).
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the reducing agent may include at least one of hydrazine hydrate and sodium borohydride. By adopting the reducing agent, the reduction effect of the graphene oxide can be further improved, the graphene oxide can be easily removed from a reaction system, and impurities cannot be introduced into a product.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the silica particles to the graphene oxide is 100 (0.1-2), such as 100:0.1, 100:0.5, 100:1, 100:1.5, 100:2, and the like. That is, the mixing ratio of the second silica dispersion liquid and the second graphene oxide dispersion liquid is determined such that the mass ratio of the silica fine particles in the second silica dispersion liquid to the graphene oxide in the second graphene oxide dispersion liquid is 100 (0.1 to 2). By mixing the second silica dispersion liquid and the second graphene oxide dispersion liquid in the above ratio, the coating effect of graphene oxide on the surface of the silica fine particles can be further improved.
S600: calcination treatment
In this step, the second product is calcined to obtain a negative electrode active material. Specifically, the above calcination treatment is performed in an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen, helium, argon) atmosphere. By calcining the second product, the stability of the graphene coated on the surface of the silicon oxide can be obviously improved.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the calcination treatment can be performed at 100-800 ℃ for 3-8 hours. Specifically, the calcination temperature may be 100 degrees celsius, 200 degrees celsius, 400 degrees celsius, 600 degrees celsius, 800 degrees celsius, or the like, and the calcination time may be 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, or the like.

Therefore, on the basis of having excellent electrochemical performance of the silicon oxide material, the negative active material is subjected to secondary coating by the graphene, so that the volume change in the lithium removal/insertion process is small, the stability is high, and the negative active material is not easy to pulverize and lose efficacy, thereby relieving the loss of electrolyte and active substances and the corrosion of the material.

Test example
Negative electrode active materials (1#, 2#, 3#, and 4#) prepared in example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were used to prepare button cells for testing, and then rate performance testing and cycle performance testing were performed, and the results are shown in fig. 2 and 3, respectively.
