Description

Preparation method of silicon-carbon alkene material and preparation method of electrode active material of silicon-carbon alkene material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of rechargeable batteries, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-specific-energy long-service-life stable rechargeable battery electrode active material-silicon-carbon-alkene material and a preparation method of the rechargeable battery electrode active material applied to the same.
Background
At present, lithium ion batteries are mainly iron phosphate lithium batteries and ternary positive electrode material batteries. The former needs phosphorus element, if the phosphorus amount for the battery is large according to the rapid increase trend of the current electric automobile, the phosphorus element is in competition with the agricultural chemical fertilizer. Phosphorus is a non-renewable resource and is indispensable for animals and plants. Once phosphorus is used according to the current trend, the earth is under a phosphorus deficiency condition after 80 years. It will be disastrous to human beings and animals and plants. And the ternary positive electrode material battery can cause heavy metal pollution. The ternary positive electrode material battery has an autoignition phenomenon of unknown reasons and is exposed by frequency. Therefore, development of an environmentally friendly and pollution-free battery is required.
The lithium ion battery has high energy, but lithium resources are relatively short, sodium is abundant and cheap, the theoretical specific capacity of the sodium is 1166mAh/g, the electrode potential is Na/Na +, -2.71V; sodium metal batteries are gaining importance as a viable rechargeable battery. The sodium metal battery is a rechargeable battery which uses sodium metal as a negative electrode, a counter electrode made of other materials and a lithium/sodium ion electrolyte conducting medium. Sodium metal is not oxidation resistant, while lithium/sodium alloys have better oxidation resistance, and lithium/sodium alloys are eutectic alloys. Sodium metal can ignite and explode when it encounters water, whereas lithium/sodium (or lithium-sodium) alloys do not. The use of a lithium/sodium alloy results in a substantial reduction in the amount of lithium used without causing a reduction in capacity. As silicon carbide is very hard in three-dimensional crystal lattice, an ion channel is not easy to strut, and lithium ions cannot be stored in a large scale. Conventional wisdom holds that nano-silicon carbide is also not effective in storing sodium ions due to their large diameter. However, no exact experimental support has been given to what limit is reached when sodium ions cannot be stored. Sodium ions and carbon atoms can form carbon-sodium alloys, and few studies have been made on the formation of sodium-silicon complexes by sodium ions and silicon atoms. Experiments have shown that silicon can effectively form sodium-silicon compounds. For the silicon atoms which are effectively bonded or store sodium ions, the direct silicon atom dangling bond is given, so that the sodium ions can effectively form metal compounds, the sodium ions can be directly stored in a large scale, and the silicon carbide unit layer can form a wide sodium ion storage space due to one bond suspension in the polar covalent bonds of the chemical bonds.
The silicon carbene is a two-dimensional crystal formed by orderly arranging silicon carbide (cubic lattice or hexagonal lattice or other polytype lattices) unit layers stacked by silicon atoms and carbon atoms along a one-dimensional direction, and the silicon atoms and the carbon atoms are connected by polar covalent bonds. Three stacking modes are arranged between silicon atoms and carbon atoms, and the structure is similar to a polytype of silicon carbide, wherein the structure is more in a cubic polytype crystal lattice (beta-SiC) and a hexagonal polytype (alpha-SiC, including polytypes of 4H,6H, 15R and the like), and the physical property is stable.
Silicon carbenes can be used for lithium ion battery active materials, however, high temperatures are required for synthesizing silicon carbenes, and therefore, it is necessary to develop a battery active material having properties similar to silicon carbide in a relatively low temperature process for use in a lithium ion battery electrode, which is one such material.
Silicon carbenes are distinguished from silicon carbide in that, in general, silicon carbide crystals are formed by stacking unit layers of silicon atomic layers and carbon atomic layers periodically in three dimensions with each other, with a polar covalent bond-sp 3 hybridized bond bonding in and between layers, forming crystals, each hybridized sp3 bond of each unit layer at the surface terminating in a dangling bond; the silicon-carbon alkene is formed by combining a silicon atom layer and a carbon atom layer in the layers and between the layers by a polar covalent bond-sp 3 hybridized bond, only three crystal structures of three layers of silicon atoms and carbon atom layers are formed, and the surface is terminated by a dangling bond of an sp3 hybridized bond. Can be classified into three forms of Si-C-Si, Si-C and C-Si-C.
Although silicon-carbon-ene can be viewed as a single layer of silicon carbide, it differs greatly in properties from silicon carbide crystals. One is band gap narrowing, and the dangling bond among covalent bonds tends to weaken the covalent bond due to the sp3 hybrid orbital deformation of silicon atom and carbon atom; secondly, the crystal growing along the layer has stronger toughness and can generate larger expansion space; the silicon carbene has smaller pore diameter inside and stronger optical characteristics.
The prior art has the problems that a silicon atomic layer is directly grown on graphene by adopting enhanced plasma combined with femtosecond strong laser, a static magnetic field and a bias technology or silicon carbene is directly grown by using graphene and silicon alkene, so that the formation of sp3 hybrid bonds is difficult and the yield is very low.

Lithium doping of the silicon carbene:
growing silicon carbene, adding a lithium-containing compound, and at 700-900 ℃, fully diffusing and transferring lithium ions in the synthesized silicon carbene crystal to each part including the surface of a reactant crystal, uniformly distributing the lithium ions and limiting the lithium ions in the grown crystal, wherein the lithium ions are kept in the crystal as interstitial impurities or substitutional impurities, so that the content of the lithium ions in the silicon carbene is improved. The capacity can be improved as an electrode material. This is because the lithium ion is doped with lithium silicon carbene, which means that the silicon carbene material is effectively doped with lithium during the preparation process (the weight percentage of lithium atom is between 0.01 and 0.1 percent). When the silicon carbide is grown, metal elements such as iron, nickel, manganese, tin and the like are effectively doped, so that the silicon carbide crystal can generate lattice defects and lattice deformation, and the defects and the lattice deformation can cause lithium ion migration channels to form a silicon carbide lithium storage structure, thereby increasing the capacity of storing lithium ions by the silicon carbide. The doping amount of the metal elements can reach 0.01-0.5% of the weight percentage of the silicon-carbon alkene atoms.
The invention aims to grow a silicon carbene active material for an electrode of a lithium and sodium rechargeable battery, the material enables silicon carbene to generate large reversible lithium and sodium storage capacity, aims to solve the problems that the capacity of a negative electrode carbon material of the lithium and sodium rechargeable battery is low, the cycle life of other alloy-based negative electrode materials is short, and the migration of silicon carbide serving as a bulk material to lithium ions is closed, and provides the silicon carbene active material for the lithium rechargeable battery and the preparation method thereof, wherein the silicon carbene active material has high specific capacity and stable cycle performance. Aiming at the problems of the weak point of lithium ion migration passivation of the silicon carbide material and low capacity of the common nanometer silicon carbide, the active material of the electrode, which is effectively doped, uniformly doped and high in specific energy silicon carbene, is prepared by the technology. This improves the charge and discharge performance of the lithium rechargeable battery, thereby increasing the energy density and power density of the lithium rechargeable battery.
The invention provides a novel lithium ion and sodium ion battery electrode material, which is a silicon-carbon alkene, and the crystal state of the silicon-carbon alkene can change the percentage value of the solid content of the silicon-carbon alkene within a certain range along with the change of preparation conditions. In general, the relationship between the contents of three solid phases of the product is typically that the content of silicon-carbon alkene is 50-100%, the content of silicon alkene is 0-50%, and the molecular structural formula (Si, Me) is 1-x (C,Me) x Wherein x represents a variable silicon and carbon composition, represents an atomic percent value, and is 0<x<Me represents a metal element contained in the nano-silicon carbene crystal, such as Li, Fe, Co, Ni, V, Y and the like, and represents that silicon atoms and carbon atoms or interstitial atoms exist on lattice points in a substitutional silicon carbene crystal latticeIn the lattice interstices, these metal elements do not produce a new phase or a simple substance phase. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps:
(1) the active material with high lithium and sodium storage capacity has one and/or two of silicon carbene with cubic crystal structure and silicon alkene with two crystal structures, and the chemical bond is a Si-C polar covalent bond containing 10% of ionic bond instead of a compound of Si and C. The silicon carbide alkene in the active material with high lithium storage capacity has cubic polytype, hexagonal polytype (4H and 6H) and rhombohedral polytype crystal structures.
(2) The prepared silicon carbide alkene with high lithium and sodium storage capacity and stable reversible lithium and sodium intercalation and deintercalation performance can be crystalline. The silicon carbene electrode active material can lead the chemical components in the silicon carbene to deviate from the chemical proportion due to different preparation conditions, namely the silicon carbene electrode active material is prepared by the molecular structural formula (Si, Me) 1-x (C,Me) x Where x represents the variability of the silicon and carbon components, is in atomic weight percent, and is 0<x<0.5, Me represents a metal element contained in the crystal, here Li, Fe, Co, Ni, V, Y, etc., and is present in the nanocrystal as a dopant element without forming another phase. The reactant phase is limited to one phase or two phases of the silicon carbene, and the crystallography component refers to a silicon carbene single phase, and the metal elements exist in interstitial impurities and substitutional impurities or are in the same-class phase and do not generate solid solution or new phases except the silicon carbene phase. The molecular structural formula referred to herein considers the case where the carbon atom is substituted, but for convenience of representation, the present invention uniformly represents the substitution in the structural formula as an alternative to the silicon atom. The chemical components are expressed by the atomic percent coefficient of silicon atoms and substitutional atoms thereof, namely (Si, Me) 1-x C x . This is a representation of the crystal formula of the non-integral compound. This means that the positions of the silicon atoms on the lattice points and the positions of the carbon atoms on the lattice points in the lattice are replaced by the metal elements. The reason is that the composition of the compound deviates from the uniformity due to the occurrence of vacancies, substitutional atoms or interstitial atoms in the crystal when the conditions of the preparation process are changed, which is a common phenomenon of the chemical composition of nano-scale crystals, quasi-crystalline crystals and amorphous crystals, and the compound is called non-uniformityA compound is one whose composition does not have the relative number of atoms in the class expressed as a small integer ratio of a few.
(3) The synthesized silicon-carbon alkene material can also have different crystalline states along with the difference of temperature and components, and the crystalline silicon-carbon alkene material has crystalline silicon-carbon alkene, namely, the atomic arrangement is in an ordered state from a short distance, and a corresponding characteristic peak on an x-ray spectrogram is a peak with sharp and wide outline, which is shown in that the Raman spectrogram shows that the position of the corresponding characteristic peak is wide and the outline is clear, but an electron diffraction pattern is in a mode of an inclusion dispersed point ring shape with diffraction spots. The silicon carbene has only short-range order and has a diffraction peak in an x-ray diffraction pattern.
(4) The high-resolution transmission electron microscope morphology image can observe that the silicon-carbon alkene is in a coiled lamellar shape, the dimension is in a micron order, and the thickness is 0.38 nm-5 nm.
In example 1, the composition contains solid phase components mainly consisting of silylene, silylene and graphene. Generally, the content of silicon-carbon alkene is 80-100% (weight percentage), the content of silicon alkene is about 10-15%, and the rest is graphene. Separating out the silicon carbene by a specific gravity method.
(5) The silylene is a new phase in the synthesis process, and is generated in the reactants when the reactant raw materials contain lithium, a combination of copper and iron, lithium, nickel and tin or a combination of rare earth, and the graphene is the reactant residue.

The analysis of the x-ray diffraction pattern shows that the diffraction peaks respectively show the diffraction peaks of lithium and sodium metals. Conventional lithium/sodium alloys have shown that lithium metal crystals are often embedded in sodium metal in irregular shapes of varying sizes. Because these two metals are active elemental metals, it is not feasible to pulverize lithium and sodium metals at room temperature by a preprocessing process.

The invention aims to provide a method for preparing a silicon carbene electrode active material. The conventional sol-gel process generates sewage and pollutants, and the raw material compounds generated by a special process also pollute the environment. The invention mainly utilizes green and cheap raw materials of starch, sorghum micropowder and relatively small amount of organic matter to prepare the gel-grown silicon carbene. This method is difficult and the growth mechanism of the silicon carbene is complicated. In general, special measures are needed in the process for synthesizing the silicon carbene, for example, a catalyst and a special carbon triple-bond substance, preferably an ethynyl organic substance and/or polymer, such as sodium phenylacetylene and the like, and a silicon double-bond substance, preferably a silicon alkenyl substance, are needed in the process for growing the silicon carbene by using starch. The purpose is to combine oxygen atoms in starch with one bond state in a carbon-carbon triple bond state in the oxidation process, the oxygen atoms are exhausted after the bond is broken, and the rest double-bond state substance is combined with double bonds in the silicon alkene substance to form layered or tubular silicon carbene. However, such material combinations cannot be put together at the same time, but are made into gel powder respectively, because relatively independent gel powder firstly undergoes a local chemical reaction in the heating process, and crystals preferentially grow in a one-dimensional direction; under the action of catalyst metal elements of iron, copper, nickel or rare earth metal elements, metal atoms are embedded into lattice points and serve as unbalanced charges to create vacant sites, the growth in the three-dimensional direction is degraded into the growth in the one-dimensional direction, hydrogen atoms, carbon atoms and oxygen atoms consumed by a bond triggered and broken by triple bonds in the oxidation process of the polymer in the three-dimensional growth direction are limited to the growth in a nanoscale size or smaller size, the breakage of the double bonds of the silicon atoms and the double bonds of the carbon atoms triggers the combination of the silicon atoms and the carbon atoms to grow into silicon carbene crystal nuclei, and the crystal nuclei further grow into micron-sized layers or tubes. Acetylene organic matters and substances doped with metal elements are put together to prepare sol and gel; the silylene substance is combined with starch and the doping substance to prepare the gel. During sintering, the two gel powders are mixed, and in the process of temperature rise, because the compound is doped with metal elements such as iron, lithium and the like, the elements play a catalytic role in the growth of the silicon carbene on one hand, and replace silicon atoms or carbon atoms on lattice points in the generated silicon carbene to form substitutional impurities on the other hand. This causes local deformation of the lattice structure, which makes vacancies, layers or even tubular crystals of the lattice structure, which allows sufficient coordination space for the silicon and carbon atoms to the lithium metal, thereby creating a space for lithium storage and becoming the active material. In addition, the silicon carbene has strong toughness and structural stability, the structure of the silicon carbene is not collapsed enough in the charge-discharge process, and the cycle period of the silicon carbene electrode material can be greatly prolonged. If single-bonded silicon organics and polymers are used, as well as single-bonded carbon organic compounds, the above process does not produce silicon carbenes.
The silicon carbene electrode active material is prepared by the following steps:
the method comprises the following steps of (I) according to the molar ratio of compounds (1-1.5): (1-2): (4-6): (7-9) matching polysiloxane, sodium acetylide, starch and absolute ethyl alcohol, and weighing corresponding compounds and organic matters;
secondly, putting the weighed components into a 1000ml beaker; stirring for 12 hours by a mechanical stirrer, and forming a transparent sol after the mixture is uniform;
thirdly, drying the sample for 10 hours at the temperature of 160-200 ℃ to obtain white powder;
(IV) according to a compound molar ratio (7-10): (7-10): (1-2): (1-3): (0.5-1), respectively weighing micron-sized sorghum micropowder (calculated by 82% of starch content in the sorghum micropowder, the same below), sodium ethoxide, ferrocene, 1, 2-dimethyl-1, 2-diphenyldisilene, urushiol lanthanum formal polymer and dialkyl sodium sulfonate, placing the mixture into a second 1000ml beaker, adding deionized water, and stirring and mixing the mixture into a colloidal body by using a mechanical stirrer; putting the colloid into a vacuum drying oven, and heating the colloid into a gel state at 120-200 ℃ to obtain yellow powder;
mixing the two gel powders in the two beakers, and stirring for 12 hours by using a mechanical pump to obtain mixed uniform pale yellow powder;
putting the obtained gel into a crucible, putting the crucible into a vacuum atmosphere reaction furnace, and vacuumizing to enable the vacuum degree of the atmosphere reaction furnace to reach 1-3 Pa;
filling argon into the atmosphere reaction furnace to enable the pressure in the furnace to reach 3-2.1 MPa;
(VIII) heating the atmosphere sintering furnace at a temperature rise rate of 20-30 ℃/min until the temperature rises to 800-1300 ℃. Sintering for 1-3 hours at the temperature;
and (ninthly), cooling to room temperature to obtain the silicon carbene electrode material.
Wherein the silicon carbene is layered and curly into a spiral cylinder shape, and the thickness is between 0.6nm and 5.7 nm. The chemical composition of the product is that the atomic weight percentage of the silicon element is 43-59%, the atomic weight percentage of the carbon element is 40.2-56%, and the atomic weight percentage of the metal element is 0.8-1%. The product is solid phase component, and the weight percentage ratio of the product is 90-100% of silicon carbide and 0-10% of silicon alkene phase.
The reason for generating the silicon carbene is very likely to be that the directional catalysis generated by the combination of the doped sodium, lithium, iron, copper and lanthanum elements generates Si-C polar covalent bonds, the silicon carbene (or called silicon carbide) layer grows along the plane, particularly rare earth lanthanum has a special electronic structure which is beneficial to reducing a silicon atomic layer when the silicon carbene is formed so as to form free silicon atoms, and the silicon atoms are stripped to form a plurality of layers of silicon atoms, and the silicon carbene grows in a self-organization mode with the carbon atoms to form a silicon carbene coiled cylindrical layer.
The electrode active material of the silicon carbide alkene prepared by the process is added with a conductive agent and a binder PVDF, and the electrode active material is prepared by mixing silicon carbide alkene: conductive agent carbon black: 60 weight percent of PVDF: 20: 20, adding NMP to dissolve the mixture into a colloid, uniformly stirring, coating the colloid on a current collector copper foil, putting the current collector copper foil into a vacuum drying oven, drying the current collector copper foil for 18 hours at 170 ℃, taking out the current collector copper foil, and pressing the current collector copper foil into a sheet under the pressure of 1 MPa. The cathode sheet is cut into R2025 round sheets, and the round sheets, the counter electrode lithium sheet and the diaphragm are combined together, and electrolyte is added to assemble the button cell. Putting the mixture into a formation box, forming for 60 hours at the temperature of 40-90 ℃, and taking out. And (5) carrying out a battery cycle test.

The figure shows that the silicon carbene prepared by the invention has two shapes of a layer shape and a spiral tube shape, the volume of the two shapes in a reactant phase accounts for more than 99.9 percent, and the thickness of the layer shape and the spiral tube shape silicon carbene is more than 0.6 nanometer.
FIG. 2 is an x-ray diffraction pattern of a silicon-carbon alkene material, from which the diffraction peaks show that the crystal structure of this phase is a cubic polytype (β -SiC). The lattice constant of the silicon carbide crystal is obviously different from that of an ideal silicon carbide crystal, which shows that the local lattice structure of iron, copper and neodymium elements can be changed due to relatively large atomic radius, and the deformation of the lattice structure can be reflected by a slight shift of the peak position of an x-ray diffraction pattern. The electron diffraction pattern shows that the electron diffraction spots showing the structure of the silicon carbide substance are dispersed in a sharp diffraction ring, and are the structure of the silylene (not shown). The lithium ion has small radius, does not influence the lattice structure too much, exists in the lattice in the form of interstitial impurities, and has little influence on the structure; it can be seen from table 1 that the silylene is a cubic polytype structure, and it can be seen that the diffraction peak positions of the silylene are all shifted to different degrees, the crystal lattice is deformed, and may be caused by doping iron, copper, and neodymium, and only one phase of the silylene is present. The x-ray diffraction pattern shows the diffraction peak of graphene, indicating that the composite active material prepared here has a very low graphene content. The chemical composition of the product is that the atomic weight percentage of the silicon element is 54-69%, the atomic weight percentage of the carbon element is 31-46%, and the atomic weight percentage of the metal element is 0.8-1%. The product is solid phase component, and the weight percentage of the product is 98-100% of silicon-carbon alkene and 0-2% of graphene phase.

As shown in Table 2, when the coefficient of Si in the chemical structural formula reached 0.49 and the coefficient of Fe was 0.03, the nanocrystalline SiC underwent a structural polytype transformation from cubic polytype to hexagonal polytype 4H-SiC. However, when the iron element coefficient is decreased and the copper element coefficient is increased, the structure remains cubic polytype although the silicon element coefficient is further increased.
Each of the samples of examples 3-6 listed in Table 2 was formed into an electrode for characterization in an electrochemical cell having a lithium metal counter electrode.

Wherein for the first circulation, the capacity reaches 900mAh/g under 0.15mA discharging current; and under the current of 0.2mA, the charging capacity reaches 870mAh/g, and the coulombic efficiency is 96.7 percent. The first charging circulation is to discharge under the current of 0.2mA, the capacity reaches 1400mAh/g, the capacity reaches 1360mAh/g when the battery is charged under the same current, and the coulombic efficiency is 97.1%.

Table 3 shows the cycle results for 60 cycles for an electrode prepared with the silicon carbene active material versus a half cell with the sodium/lithium alloy as the electrode. The data in the table show that the concentration of iron element in the silicon-carbon alkene crystal is not more than 5%, and the capacity is large when the cycle period reaches 60 times. The iron-containing silicon-carbon alkene crystal only has one solid phase, and the robustness of the iron-containing silicon-carbon alkene crystal is not damaged by the deformation of the crystal structure, so that the electrochemical performance of the active material is enhanced.

There appears a new phenomenon, what is what causes the silicon carbene to have the property of storing lithium? The explanation for this problem can be that when the silicon carbene is formed, iron, copper and neodymium ions make silicon carbide bond effectively formed due to double-bonded silicon and triple-bonded carbon, and promote one-dimensional growth of the silicon carbene, a silicon carbene phase is generated while a crystalline lattice is formed, which increases sodium and lithium storage space, and these metal ions exist in the crystalline lattice of the silicon carbene to deform the crystalline lattice, so as to generate corresponding vacancies, increase the space for coordination of lithium ions, and further form migration channels of the lithium ions, and at nanoscale scale, under the action of the stability of the restoring force of the crystalline lattice elastic-plastic deformation, the continuous lithium deintercalation is within the range of elastic restoring force although the crystalline lattice is deformed, so that the crystalline lattice of the silicon carbene is kept stable after the elastic-plastic deformation, and has stable sodium, lithium and sodium and lithium storage capacity. Theoretically this cycle of sodium and lithium insertion is infinite. In practice, the circulation can reach more than 6000 times.
Example 2
The other steps were the same as in example 1. The experiment further increases the content of carbon, and the content of silicon carbene in the solid phase of the product is up to 91 percent and the content of graphene is reduced to 9 percent in percentage by mass. The silicon carbene atomic composition ratio is carbon: silicon 37: 63. the electrode is prepared by the method of comparative example 1 by using the silicon-carbon alkene material prepared by the example, and the lithium-sodium alloy (lithium: sodium mass percent is (100-10): 0-90)) is used for the counter electrode, and the battery assembling method and the test conditions are the same as those of comparative example 1. Charging and discharging at 2.0V to 0.02V with current density of 0.1mA/cm 2 . The first lithium intercalation capacity is 1881mAh/g, the first lithium deintercalation capacity is 1865mAh/g, and the coulomb efficiency is 100.8%. It is shown that increasing the carbon content in the reactants reduces the first lithium intercalation sodium capacity of the composite material, but the coulombic efficiency thereof is improved because the silylene has a layered structure and the first charge-discharge coulombic efficiency is high. And after 12 subsequent cycles, the lithium intercalation sodium capacity is slowly reduced, the lithium intercalation sodium capacity is gradually increased within 10 cycles, and the lithium intercalation sodium capacity is gradually reduced after 10 cycles, so that the lithium intercalation sodium performance of the composite material is reduced due to the increase of the content of the silicon carbene alkene. The lithium intercalation capacity of the 12 th time is 1855mAh/g, the lithium deintercalation capacity is 1863mAh/g, the coulombic efficiency is 99.51%, and the lithium intercalation capacity is attenuated by 1.41% after 12 cycles (relative to the lithium intercalation capacity of the first time), while the lithium deintercalation capacity is reduced by 0.10% (relative to the lithium deintercalation capacity of the first time). The lithium intercalation sodium capacity of the electrode taking the silicon-carbon-olefin/graphene-carbon composite material as an active substance is higher, and the attenuation is reduced during the additional cycle. The increase of the content of silicon-carbon alkene in the silicon-carbon alkene material can be seen, and the cycling stability is improved. The first discharge capacity is reduced due to the increase of the carbon content, the capacity is reduced less in the subsequent 12 times of circulation, and the increase of the silicon carbene content to 90 percent has great influence on the electrical property optimization of the lithium intercalation/deintercalation sodium.
