Description

Artificial graphite negative electrode material, preparation method thereof and application thereof in lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and particularly relates to an artificial graphite cathode material, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in a lithium ion battery.
Background
In a battery energy storage system, lithium ion batteries are distinguished by the characteristics of high energy density, long cycle life, environmental friendliness and the like. The negative electrode material is a carrier of lithium ions and electrons in the process of charging and discharging of the battery and plays a role in storing and releasing energy. In the cost of the battery, the negative electrode material accounts for 5-15% and is one of the important raw materials of the lithium ion battery, the most widely and mature negative electrode material in commercial application at present is a graphite negative electrode material, and the requirement of the energy storage lithium ion battery on the negative electrode material is long-term stable cycle performance so as to ensure the continuous and stable normal operation of an energy storage system in long-term cycle use. However, due to structural limitation, the graphite negative electrode material has many defects in the actual use process, firstly, the compatibility of graphite and electrolyte is poor, larger irreversible capacity exists, secondly, lithium ions and an organic solvent generate a co-intercalation reaction in a graphite negative electrode layer sheet, and the phenomena of swelling, collapse, particle pulverization and the like of a graphite sheet layer are accelerated by repeated intercalation and side reactions, so that the cycle performance of the graphite negative electrode is reduced. In order to overcome the problems, some domestic graphite cathode manufacturers adopt high-temperature asphalt for modification and coating to solve certain circulation problems, but the rheological property is poor, and the practical application is difficult.
CN107039654A adopts liquid phase coating modification and carbon coating treatment after high-temperature graphitization, and the method can improve the phenomenon of nonuniform coating caused by the conventional coating method to a certain extent, but cannot substantially change the crystal structure of graphite, and later circulation can cause the conditions of collapse of the internal structure of graphite particles and the like.
The CN106495144A is a method for exploring the coating treatment of various raw coke and various coating agents under certain pressure, and some methods in the scheme are actually methods widely applied in the industry at present, but are partially poor in consistency.
CN109935778A generalCoating the mixture by combining the stearic acid and the high-temperature asphalt, and mixing Fe in the later period3O4Although the problem of coating uniformity is solved to a certain extent, the raw material of the petroleum coke is pure petroleum coke, and the petroleum coke has high content of internal volatile components and impurities, and high content of impurities such as nitrogen, sulfur, hydrogen and the like at the later stage, so that the cycle performance is greatly influenced.
CN106848316A coats natural graphite through high-temperature asphalt and phenolic resin modification, and because the natural graphite is a sheet structure, the structure is easy to swell and collapse in the process of graphite charging and discharging, and the graphite structure is damaged, so that the cycle performance is poor due to the rapid capacity attenuation.
Therefore, there is a need in the art to develop a novel graphite anode material having the advantages of excellent cycle performance, easy control of the production process, high production efficiency, etc.

As can be seen from tables 1-4, the calcined needle coke raw material is added on the basis of the comparative example 1, on the premise of improving the capacity and compacting, the stability of the negative electrode in the circulation process can be ensured by the stable crystal structure of the calcined needle coke, meanwhile, the processability of the calcined needle coke can be improved by petroleum coke secondary particles, the comparative example 1 adopts a vertical reaction kettle for granulation, the granulation uniformity is poor, the particles are incompletely coated, the uncoated surface and electrolyte generate more side reactions in the circulation process, and the circulation water jump is easily caused, the Acheson graphitization mode adopted by the comparative example 1 has long time period and slow cooling speed, the graphitization degree difference of graphite particles at different positions of the same furnace is larger, the graphite particles are easily oxidized, the specific surface area of the oxidized graphite particles is increased, and the newly added pores caused by oxidation in the circulation process can generate more side reactions with the electrolyte because the newly added pores are not coated, the graphite crystal structure is damaged to cause circular water jumping, and the continuous graphitization mode adopted by the embodiment adopts whole-process nitrogen protection, so that the cooling speed is high, the graphitization degree of each position in the same furnace is uniform, and the integrity of particles is well protected.
As can be seen from Table 4, the electrochemical performance of examples 4-5 is inferior to that of example 1, because the mass ratio of the petroleum coke particles to the resin in example 4 is 1:1, the content of the petroleum coke particles is too low, the resin is too much, the coating is excessive, and the lithium ions are prevented from being inserted and extracted by the excessively thick coating layer; in example 5, the mass ratio of the petroleum coke particles to the resin is 10:1, the content of the petroleum coke particles is too much, and the resin is too little, so that the coating is not complete, and further, the electrochemical performance of examples 4-5 is inferior to that of example 1.
As can be seen from Table 4, the electrochemical performance of examples 8-9 is inferior to that of example 1, because the mass ratio of the petroleum coke secondary particles to the calcined needle coke particles in example 8 is 0.5:1, the content of the petroleum coke secondary particles is less, and the material processability is poor; in example 9, the mass ratio of the petroleum coke secondary particles to the calcined needle coke particles is 2:1, the content of the petroleum coke secondary particles is large, the material cycle performance is weakened, and further, the electrochemical performance of examples 8 to 9 is inferior to that of example 1.
