1. Negative electrode active material
The negative active material provided by the application comprises a second material and a first material covering at least one part of the surface of the second material, wherein the lamella interval of the first material is d1, the lamella interval of the second material is d2, and the following conditions are met: d1/d2 is more than or equal to 0.85 and less than or equal to 1.05.
According to some embodiments of the application, d1/d2 is 0.86, 0.88, 0.90, 0.92, 0.94, 0.95, 0.97, 0.99, 1.00, or any value in between. When the ratio of d1/d2 is between 0.85 and 1.05, the interplanar spacing of the second material is wider than that of the first material, so that a channel for rapidly extracting lithium ions can be provided, and the resistance of lithium ions in the first material is reduced. Meanwhile, the first material layer with relatively small crystal face spacing can increase material conductance, reduce polarization and maintain higher multiplying power and circulation level of the material. When d1/d2 is larger than 1.05, the second material has small crystal face distance, lithium ion intercalation internal resistance is increased, rate performance is poor under large rate, and meanwhile, the problem of large expansion caused by small crystal face distance is solved, and the cyclic expansion rate of the electrochemical device is large.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the lamella spacing d1 of the first material is 0.33nm to 0.34nm. According to some embodiments of the present application, the lamella spacing d1 of the first material is 0.33nm, 0.333nm, 0.336nm, or 0.337nm.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the second material has a lamella spacing d2 of 0.34nm to 0.40nm. According to some embodiments of the present application, the second material has a lamella spacing d2 of 0.35nm, 0.36nm, 0.37nm, 0.38nm, or 0.39nm. In some embodiments of the present application, the inter-sheet distance d2 of the second material is 0.36nm to 0.40nm. The second material has smaller interlayer spacing, which causes larger lithium intercalation resistance and slows down the diffusion of lithium ions, so that the overall rate capability of the material is reduced, and the capacity loss of high-rate charge-discharge cycle is larger. At the same time, the smaller spacing of the second material results in lithium intercalation expansion and greater expansion of the overall electrochemical device.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the average coverage of the first material on the surface of the second material is 50% or more. In some embodiments of the present application, the average coverage of the first material on the surface of the second material is 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%. According to some embodiments, the average coverage of the first material on the surface of the second material is 70% or more. In some embodiments, the average coverage of the first material on the surface of the second material is 90% or more.
In the present application, the average coverage of the first material on the surface of the second material means the coverage of the surface of the second material by the first material, which is determined by the following method: randomly selecting 20 TEM (equipment model is Talos F200X) samples, observing the surface area of the second material under the condition of magnifying a ruler to 10nm, wherein the frequency of the occurrence of the first material layer is N, and the coverage of the first material on the surface of the second material is as follows: (N/20). Times.100%.
According to some embodiments of the application, the first material has a thickness of 3nm to 500nm, such as 5nm, 10nm, 30nm, 50nm, 70m, 90nm, 100nm, 110nm, 130nm, 150nm, 180nm, 200nm, 220nm, 250nm, 270nm, 290nm, 310nm, 350nm, 370nm, 400nm or 450nm. In some embodiments of the present application, the first material has a thickness of 20nm to 300nm. The first material is too thick, so that a part of lithium embedding channels are difficult to enter rapidly by lithium ions, the integral rate capability of the material is reduced, the components of the first material in the material are increased along with the increase of the thickness of the first material, and the expansion degree of the pole piece is increased.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the angle θ between the length direction of the first material and the surface of the second material is 45 ° to 135 °, for example 50 °, 55 °, 60 °, 65 °, 70 °, 75 °, 80 °, 85 °, 90 °, 95 °, 100 °, 105 °, 110 °, 115 °, 120 °, 125 °, or 130 °. In the present application, the included angle θ between the length direction of the first material and the surface of the second material is determined by: taking an SEM (scanning Electron microscope) picture of a CP (Cross Section Polisher) sample of an ion beam Cross Section of an active material layer by using a scanning electron microscope, wherein the visible surface of a particle on the outermost layer in an SEM picture has a structure approximately vertical to the surface of the particle, making a tangent line (straight line 1) at the contact point of the particle surface and a first material by using an image processing system, forming a straight line (straight line 2) between the contact point of the first material and the particle surface and two points of the other end point of the first material farthest from the particle surface, wherein the included angle of the two straight lines is theta 1, randomly selecting 5 theta 1 in each SEM picture, then selecting 10 SEM pictures, and calculating the average value of 10 multiplied by 5 positions theta 1, namely the included angle theta of the first material and the second material surface. According to some embodiments of the present application, at least 50% of the first material is at an angle θ of 70 ° to 120 ° to the surface of the second material, for example at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80% or at least 90% of the first material is at an angle θ of 70 ° to 120 ° to the surface of the second material. In some embodiments of the present application, at least 50% of the first material in the first material layer is at an angle θ of 70 ° to 120 ° with respect to the surface of the second material, i.e., 10 × 5 positions θ 1 are randomly counted, and at least 50% (25 positions) of the first material is at an angle θ of 70 ° to 120 ° with respect to the surface of the second material.
According to some embodiments of the application, the first material has a size of 3nm to 500nm, such as 5nm, 10nm, 30nm, 50nm, 70m, 90nm, 100nm, 110nm, 130nm, 150nm, 180nm, 200nm, 220nm, 250nm, 270nm, 290nm, 310nm, 350nm, 370nm, 400nm or 450nm. According to some embodiments of the present application, the first material has a size of 20nm to 300nm. When the first material is oversized, lithium ion channels are reduced, resulting in loss of rate capability.
According to some embodiments of the application, the first material is a graphite sheet. According to some embodiments of the present application, the second material is hard carbon.
According to the negative active material, at least part of the surface of a second material, such as hard carbon, is coated with a first material, such as a graphite sheet, so that the specific surface area of the material is reduced due to the covering effect of the first material, and the rate capability of the material is improved. Meanwhile, the conductivity of the material is increased, so that the integral polarization of the material is reduced, and the polarization resistance can be reduced in the charging process, thereby improving the lithium embedding capacity of the material to a certain extent, accelerating the electronic conductance and obtaining better rapid charge and discharge performance. However, only the first material is simply coated on the surface of the second material in an amorphous form, and the thickness of the first material needs to be ensured to be thinner so as to reduce the degree of coating on the surface of the second material, and further avoid affecting the lithium release and insertion path of the material. Therefore, the first material covers the surface of the second material at a certain angle, so that a direct extraction channel is provided for partial lithium ions, the extraction path of the lithium ions is shortened, the extraction speed of the lithium ions is accelerated, and the cycle and rate performance of the whole material are further optimized.
As shown in fig. 3, since the extraction of lithium ions needs to be performed by the microcrystalline layer of hard carbon, which is irregularly arranged, the transmission path of lithium ions is lengthened (fig. 3-1), which affects the extraction rate. The graphite sheet layer vertical to the surface of the hard carbon is synthesized on the surface of the hard carbon, and the sheet layer not only has a certain surface covering effect, reduces the specific surface area and enhances the electronic conductance. Meanwhile, as a direct extraction channel is provided for partial lithium ions, the extraction path of the lithium ions is shortened, and the extraction rate of the lithium ions is accelerated (figure 3-2), so that the cycle and rate performance of the whole material are optimized.
According to some embodiments of the present application, I of the negative active material G /I 2D Is 0.3 to 5, such as 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0, wherein I 2D Is at 2500cm in Raman spectrum -1 To 2800cm -1 Peak intensity of the range of (1), I G Is located at 1580cm in Raman spectrum -1 To 1620cm -1 Peak intensity of the range of (a).
According to some embodiments of the present application, I of the negative active material G /I D Is 0.3 to 1.5, such as 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0 or 1.3, wherein I D Is located at 1300cm in Raman spectrum -1 To 1400cm -1 Peak intensity of the range of (1), I G Is located at 1580cm in Raman spectrum -1 To 1620cm -1 Peak intensity of the range of (a). The testing equipment adopted is a laser micro-confocal Raman spectrometer (Raman, HR Evolution, HORIBA scientific instruments and institutions).
In this application, the Raman spectrum shows a 2D peak, indicating the presence of the coated graphite sheet (fewer graphite layers), while the mere mixing of graphite and hard carbon does not show a distinct 2D peak. Meanwhile, because the proportion of the amorphous carbon part of the material is still the main part, the proportion of the graphite part is smaller, and the ratio of the amorphous carbon part of the material is I G /I D Between 0.3 and 1.5.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the anode active material has a specific surface area of 2m 2 G to 10m 2 (ii) in terms of/g. According to some embodiments of the present application, the specific surface area of the anode active material is 3m 2 /g、4m 2 /g、5m 2 /g、6m 2 /g、7m 2 /g、8m 2 /g、9m 2 G or any value in between.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the anode active material has an X-ray diffraction pattern in which a first peak and a second peak exist between 18 ° and 30 °, wherein the first peak is located between 22 ° and 26 °, the second peak is located between 26.3 ° and 26.6 °, and a ratio R of an intensity of the second peak to an intensity of the first peak is 0.9 to 20. According to some embodiments of the application, R is 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19. In some embodiments of the present application, R is 3 to 15.
According to some embodiments of the application, the first peak has a half-width of 4 ° to 10 °. According to some embodiments of the application, the second peak has a half-width of 0.1 ° to 2 °.
In the application, a first peak between 22 and 26 degrees represents a diffraction peak of a (002) crystal face of a hard carbon microchip layer, a second peak between 26.3 and 26.6 degrees represents a diffraction peak of a (002) crystal face of a graphite microchip layer, and the ratio R of the intensity of the second peak to the intensity of the first peak can reflect the coating amount of the graphite sheet layer, so that the number of the graphite sheet layers is more, and the R value is larger. An excessively small R value means that the coating amount of the graphite sheet is excessively low, and the improvement effect on the material is not obvious. The R value is too large, so that partial lithium storage sites are easily covered, and the capacity of the material per se is influenced.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the XPS spectrum of the anode active material second material has peaks in at least one of the following ranges: 398eV to 404eV, 102eV to 104eV, and 130eV to 132eV. According to some embodiments of the present application, the XPS spectrum of the anode active material second material has at least one peak in a range of 285eV to 289 eV. In the XPS spectrum of this application, the peak in the range of 398eV to 404eV represents a nitrogen-containing group, the peak in the range of 102eV to 104eV represents a siloxy group, the peak in the range of 130eV to 132eV represents a phosphorus oxy group, and the peak in the range of 285eV to 289eV represents a carbon oxy group.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the anode active material second material comprises at least one of N, P, S, si or B element. According to some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode is activeThe powder conductivity of the material was 1X 10 7 S/cm to 9X 10 8 S/cm。

Table 1 shows the effect of the inter-lamellar spacing of the first material (graphite platelets), the inter-lamellar spacing of the second material (hard carbon), the thickness of the first material on the cell performance. Wherein, the XRD peak intensity ratio R is the ratio of the diffraction peak intensity of the (002) crystal face of the hard carbon microchip layer to the diffraction peak intensity of the (002) crystal face of the graphite flake microchip layer. The anode active materials of examples 1 to 10 and comparative examples 1 to 5 were of a coated type as shown in fig. 1.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003124667710000201
By comparing examples 1 to 10 with comparative examples 1 to 5, the ratio d1/d2 is between 0.85 and 1.05, i.e. when the interplanar spacing of the second material is wide relative to the interplanar spacing of the first material, the material has excellent rate performance at super-high rates and can keep the cyclic expansion at a small level. The resistance of lithium ion insertion into the interior is reduced mainly because the material can provide a path for rapid lithium ion extraction. Meanwhile, the first material with relatively small interplanar spacing can increase the material conductance and reduce polarization. When d1/d2 is more than 1.05, the interplanar spacing of the second material is small, the lithium ion intercalation internal resistance is increased, the rate performance is poor under a large rate, and the battery cyclic expansion rate is large due to the small interplanar spacing.
As can be seen from the comparison between examples 1 and 6, examples 2 and 7, examples 3 and 8, examples 4 and 9, and examples 5 and 10, respectively, when the microcrystalline interlayer spacing of the second material is small, the resistance to lithium intercalation is relatively large, the diffusion of lithium ions is slowed down, so that the overall rate capability of the material is relatively reduced, and at the same time, the second material spacing is relatively small, so that the expansion of the overall battery is large.
As can be seen from comparison between examples 1 and 5, the coated first material is too thick to allow the lithium intercalation channels to be reduced and to be difficult to rapidly enter by lithium ions, so that the rate capability of the whole material is reduced, and as the thickness of the coated first material is increased, the composition of graphite sheets in the material is increased, and the degree of battery expansion is increased to different extents.
Comparative example 6 parameters: comparative example 6 is a blending system of graphite and hard carbon, in which the Dv99 of graphite particles is between 17 μm and 25 μm, and the negative electrode is made after mixing with hard carbon in the slurry stage, the R value of XRD test is 80, and the battery of comparative example 6 negative electrode, using the same test procedure as example 1, gives D1:12%, D3:5%, 400-cycle capacity retention ratio: 62.4%, 400-cycle cell expansion: 13.5 percent
As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 6, although the rate performance of the battery in comparative example 6 is improved to a certain extent, the rate performance is still lower than that of example 1, and the material performance is damaged under the condition of high-rate charge and discharge. Meanwhile, the negative active material obtained by simply doping graphite and hard carbon in the comparative example 6 has no way of inhibiting the expansion in the circulation process, and the expansion degree of the material is larger, so that the circulation performance is reduced.
The difference from the coating conditions in table 1 is that in table 2, a very small amount of silicon is preferentially deposited on the surface of the hard carbon substrate during the experimental treatment process, the target is guided to form vertical growth, and the hard carbon substrate in the coating material is not subjected to deposition treatment after being removed by acid washing.
Table 2 shows the influence of the inter-lamellar spacing of the first material (graphite sheet), the inter-lamellar spacing of the second material (hard carbon), R (the ratio of the intensity of the diffraction peak of the crystal face of the hard carbon microchip layer (002) to the intensity of the diffraction peak of the crystal face of the graphite sheet microchip layer (002)), the negative electrode active material specific surface area BET, the first material (graphite sheet) size, and the like on the battery performance. In examples 11 to 30, the negative active material was a vertical sheet type as shown in fig. 2, and the angle θ between the length direction of at least 50% of the first material in the first material and the surface of the second material was 70 ° to 120 °.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0003124667710000221
From a comparison of example 11 to example 30, it can be seen that: the second material structure of examples 11 to 20 has a lattice spacing of 0.36nm, and has a relatively large resistance in the lithium insertion process, a relatively slightly lower rate capability and a relatively larger expansion compared with the material with a lattice structure of 0.38nm to a certain extent. The second material structure of examples 21 to 30 has a relatively large crystal plane spacing, the overall rate capability of the material is relatively good, and the battery expansion is relatively small.
Examples 21 to 23 show the influence of the size of graphite sheets, wherein the size of the sheets is preferably 20nm to 50nm, and when the size of the sheets reaches 200nm, the sheets on the surface of the material grow into large sheets with certain coverage effect, lithium ion channels of the relatively small sheets are reduced, and the multiplying power and the like are partially lost.
Examples 24 to 27 were conducted by comparing the influence of the parameter R representing the number of graphite sheets, the parameter being larger the more the graphite sheets are. When R is 0.97, the clad sheet content is small, contributing relatively little to the performance. When R is 3-10, the comprehensive performance of capacity retention rate and multiplying power is better, a certain number of coating layers increase electron conductance, and meanwhile, enough channels are provided, so that lithium ions can be conveniently extracted. However, when R reaches 20, the number of cladding layers is dense, the lithium intercalation channels are partially blocked, and the expansion of the laminated layer after lithium intercalation is larger, so that the expansion of the battery is larger indirectly, the specific surface area of the material is increased, and the performances of material circulation and the like are influenced. (wherein the average coverage varies with R and is 50%)
Examples 28 to 29 mainly examine the relationship between the specific surface area BET and the cell performance, and the BET is 2m in comparison with example 30 2 G to 5m 2 In/g, the better cycle performance is at comparable rate performance, probably due to BET of greater than 10m 2 At the time of/g, an SEI film is easy to decompose and reconstruct continuously in the circulation process, a large amount of electrolyte is consumed, adverse effects are generated on circulation, and the capacity retention rate is reduced quickly.
Table 3 shows the effect on performance of a change in the number fraction of graphite flakes with theta of 70 ° to 120 °, where examples 31 and 32 differ from example 22 by the number fraction (%) of graphite flakes with theta of 70 ° to 120 °.
TABLE 3
Figure BDA0003124667710000241
Examples 31 and 32 compared to example 22, the angle θ between the length direction of at least 50% of the first material in the first material and the surface of the second material was 70 ° to 120 °, and the rate and capacity retention performance was better improved.

Note: liFSI 187.07g/mol, liPF 6 The molar mass was 151.91g/mol.
In Table 4, examples 33 to 35 differ from example 7 only by LiFSI and LiPF in the electrolyte 6 The compositions (see table 4) of examples 33 to 35 were improved in both capacity retention and battery swelling properties; in Table 5, examples 36 to 38 differ from example 22 only in LiFSI and LiPF in the electrolyte 6 The compositions (see Table 5) of examples 36 to 38 were improved in both capacity retention and battery swelling properties. The possible reason is that since LiFSI has high conductivity, it interacts with the anode material to improve the capacity retention rate and the battery swelling property.
