Background
The lithium ion battery is distinguished from the existing chemical power supply by the advantages of environmental friendliness, high energy conversion rate, rapid charge and discharge and the like, and is considered as a preferred power supply of the electric automobile. However, limited by the low discharge capacity (372mAh/g) of the conventional graphite cathode, the energy density and power density of the current lithium ion power battery are far from those of the internal combustion engine, and the current lithium ion power battery cannot meet the requirement of the endurance mileage of the electric vehicle. As one of the core components, the negative electrode material is a key factor for increasing the energy density of the lithium ion battery and determining the performance of the battery, and therefore, developing a high-capacity and high-performance negative electrode material is a primary task and a common target in the academic and industrial fields at present.
Compared with graphite, P element can perform multi-electron reaction with metallic Li to generate Li3P, thereby contributing to the theoretical capacity of 2596mAh/g, which is 7 times as much as that of graphite, and being expected to become a candidate of a high-capacity cathode material due to the characteristics of rich lithium storage, low price and environmental protection of the P element. However, red phosphorus in nature has very poor conductivity (<1×10-14S/cm), the electrochemical lithium storage activity is low, the reversible capacity is less than 130mAh/g when the lithium storage material is used as a negative electrode material, and the first coulombic efficiency is only 5%. Therefore, how to improve the conductivity and reactivity of red phosphorus is a common problem for researchers. For this reason, it has been proposed to introduce Ge element, which itself has lithium storage activity, into P, to develop a new class of P-Ge compounds with dual active components, and to synthesize GePxHas excellent electronic conductivity (2.4 multiplied by 10)6S/m), which is comparable to graphite, has much higher conductivity than the Ge elementary substance and the P elementary substance, and shows typical metal conductivity characteristics. GeP when used as a negative electrode material for lithium ion batteriesxCan show higher reversible specific capacity (>1800mAh/g), ultra-high first coulombic efficiency (ICE)>90%) and a stable suitable voltage plateau (0.5V). However, it is worth noting that the price of Ge is up to 700 ten thousand yuan/ton, with GePxThe proportion of medium Ge is increased, the cost price of raw materials is more and more expensive, and further practical application and industrialization of the P-based alloy negative electrode material are greatly hindered.

On one hand, Zn, Si and Cu are in adjacent elements with Ge in the periodic table, the atomic radius and the electronegativity are very similar, and preconditions are provided for replacing partial Ge sites and reducing the Ge content. On the other hand, Zn and Si have lithium storage activity and can be used in combination with Li+Alloying to generate LiZn and LixSi alloy, which contributes extra capacity to the electrode without lowering GePxOriginal high reversible capacity. More importantly, the reserves of the raw materials of Zn, Si and Cu are rich, the price of Zn is only 1.2 ten thousand yuan/ton, and the Zn is 1/600 of Ge, so that the preparation cost of the raw materials can be greatly reduced, and the further development and application of the P-based negative electrode material are promoted.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:

In addition, the invention utilizes the mechanical flexibility, high conductivity and chemical stability of the carbon material to effectively improve the cycle stability and rate capability of the cathode active material, and the ball milling process for mixing the ternary compound and the carbon material ensures that the ternary compound and the carbon material are in an atomic-level high composite state, rather than a simple physical mixing process.
In general, the lithium ion battery multi-element alloy cathode material and the preparation method thereof provided by the invention have the advantages of simple process, low cost, capability of batch synthesis preparation and easiness in large-scale production and synthesis. Compared with the existing like products, the invention also has the following advantages:
compared with the traditional binary metal phosphide such as CoPx、GePx、MnPxAnd the like (Co is toxic, and Co, Mn and Ge are expensive), the ternary metal phosphide is synthesized by replacing and partially replacing Zn, Cu and Si simple substances with rich resources and low price, the cost of the phosphide is greatly reduced on the basis of keeping the same electrochemical performance level, and the preparation, the popularization and the use in a large scale are easy.
Compared with a binary alloy type cathode material, the series Zn-Ge-P, Zn-Si-P, Cu-Si-P multi-element alloy cathode provided by the invention can promote the rapid conduction of electrons, buffer the volume expansion in the lithiation process and maintain the integrity of the electrode appearance by utilizing the 'synergistic effect' among the components, thereby improving the cycling stability of the electrode.

Compared with the traditional commercialized graphite cathode material (the theoretical capacity is only 372mAh/g), the series of Zn-Ge-P, Zn-Si-P, Cu-Si-P alloys synthesized by the invention are multi-active materials, wherein Zn, P, Ge and Si elements can be subjected to alloying reaction with Li to generate LiZn and LixGe、Li3P and LixSi, contributing to a larger discharge capacity: (>1000mAh/g)。

According to the invention, the conductive carbon material and the active material are compounded by adopting a mechanical ball milling method to prepare the composite material of the multi-element alloy cathode and the carbon material, the electron transmission of the active material in the lithiation process can be promoted by utilizing the high conductivity, the mechanical flexibility and the chemical stability of the carbon material, and the volume expansion is inhibited, so that the completeness of the appearance is maintained, the cycle stability of the battery is greatly improved, and the service life of the battery is greatly prolonged. The carbon compounding method can also be applied to improving the cycle life and the electrochemical performance of other alloy type cathode materials.

In contrast, ZnGeP after complexing with carbon materials2The first-turn discharge capacity of the/C composite electrode material is 1385.2mAh/g, after 100 cycles, the reversible discharge capacity still has 546.5mAh/g, the capacity retention rate is 39.45%, and the cycle life of the battery is greatly prolonged.
For another example, in Table 6, the phase pure ZnGe3P4The discharge capacity of the electrode material at the first circle is 1766.7mAh/g, after 100 cycles, the reversible discharge capacity is attenuated to 246.5mAh/g, and the capacity retention rate is only 14.9%. In contrast, after complexing with carbon materials, ZnGe3P4The first-turn discharge capacity of the/C composite electrode material is 1702mAh/g, the reversible discharge capacity is still 897.5mAh/g after 100 cycles, the capacity retention rate is 52.73%, and the electrochemical cycling stability is effectively improved.
