Abstract
The invention discloses a silicon-carbon composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. In the charging process of the secondary battery, when the silicon particles deposited in the pores of the activated carbon expand, enough space is provided around the silicon particles to accommodate the expanded silicon particles, so that the change of the electrode thickness caused by the expansion or contraction of the silicon is greatly inhibited, and the occurrence of electrode degradation problems such as the falling of a negative electrode material is reduced.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of negative electrode materials of lithium ion secondary batteries, and particularly relates to a silicon-carbon composite material, a preparation method of the silicon-carbon composite material and application of the silicon-carbon composite material in the negative electrode materials of the lithium ion secondary batteries.
Background
The lithium ion secondary battery has the characteristics of high energy storage ratio, high safety, low cost, easiness in large-scale production and the like, and is widely applied as a power supply of a smart phone, an electric automobile and an energy storage system. The negative electrode material of the lithium ion secondary battery which is currently industrialized is mainly graphite material, and with the extensive research on the secondary battery in recent years, the energy storage capacity of the lithium ion secondary battery which takes graphite as the main negative electrode material is greatly improved. The theoretical energy storage ratio of graphite is 372mAh/g, and although the prior battery technology is close to the limit energy storage ratio of the graphite cathode, the requirements of miniaturized intelligent equipment and electric automobiles on secondary batteries with high energy storage ratio and high output power are still difficult to meet.
In order to solve the problem, researchers introduce an element with higher lithium ion energy storage efficiency into the existing graphite negative electrode as a solution, wherein silicon has the advantages of high lithium ion energy storage efficiency (theoretical capacity of 4200Amh/g), easy obtainment and the like, and has great attraction as a negative electrode material of a novel secondary battery.
The silicon particles expand and contract greatly during the storage and release of lithium ions (the literature reports that the volume of silicon increases by more than 3 times after lithium ions are adsorbed). After repeated charging and discharging, the silicon particles which are continuously expanded and contracted are gradually cracked, so that the silicon particles are further fragmented and react with the electrolyte to consume the electrolyte in the battery. In addition, the negative electrode particles are particularly likely to fall off from the electrode by breaking the bond of the binder due to the stress generated by the change in the thickness of the electrode caused by the expansion and contraction of the silicon particles. At present, the expansion and contraction of silicon causes the degradation of battery electrodes and the severe capacity fading, so that the practical requirements are temporarily difficult to achieve.
In order to solve the above problems, researchers have proposed various proposals for suppressing the volume expansion of the silicon material and further improving the structural stability of the silicon material, such as a silicon-carbon composite material in which silicon particles are coated between carbon matrix materials to form a core-shell structure.
CN2013103597397 mentions that a silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material sequentially comprises nano silicon/graphite particles, a first carbon coating layer and an organic cracking carbon layer structure from inside to outside, wherein the nano silicon/graphite particles are formed by coating a nano silicon particle layer with graphite as an inner core of a volume expansion buffer substrate to form spherical or spheroidal composite particles; the first carbon coating layer is a carbon nano tube and/or amorphous carbon, the carbon nano tube and/or amorphous carbon is inserted into a gap network formed among the nano silicon particles and/or coated outside the nano silicon particles, and the ionic conductivity of the material is improved; and the organic cracking carbon layer is an outermost coating layer of the silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material. The silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material improves the cycle performance and the charge and discharge performance of the battery to a certain extent, but still cannot thoroughly inhibit the overall expansion of the electrode caused by the expansion of silicon element, and the preparation process is extremely complex, the quantity of the silicon element which can be embedded is not large, the capacity of the battery cannot be greatly improved, and the large-scale industrial production is difficult to carry out.
The chinese patent CN103326023A discloses a silicon-based composite negative electrode material, which is an embedded composite core-shell structure, wherein the core is a structure formed by embedding nano-silicon particles in the inner layer gap of hollow graphite, and the shell is a non-graphite carbon material. According to the invention, the nano silicon particles are embedded in the graphite inner layer and the surface of the graphite particles is uniformly coated by adopting a mode of combining mechanical grinding, mechanical fusion, isotropic pressure treatment and a carbon coating technology. Although the cycle performance and the first efficiency of the battery are improved to a certain extent, the material still cannot inhibit the overall expansion of the electrode due to the expansion of the silicon particles, and the amount of the silicon particles which can be embedded is not large, so that the capacity of the battery cannot be greatly improved. In addition, the preparation method is also extremely complex, the cost is high, and large-scale industrial production cannot be realized.
Chinese invention patent CN103078092A mentions a preparation method of a silicon-carbon (Si/C) composite cathode material of a lithium ion battery, in the invention, a silicon source (before or after etching treatment) and graphite are dispersed in a solvent under the condition that a second additive exists, and a precursor solid is obtained after the solvent is completely volatilized by controlling the temperature; and coating the precursor solid with amorphous carbon. The nano silicon prepared by etching has large specific surface and is difficult to be uniformly dispersed on the graphite surface, so that the silicon-carbon material prepared by the method has serious silicon agglomeration and cannot solve the problem of poor cycle performance of the material caused by the expansion of silicon.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above technical problems, the first invention of the present application aims to provide a microspherical silicon carbon composite material.
The second invention of the present application is to provide a method for preparing the microspherical silicon-carbon composite material.
A third object of the present invention is to provide a negative electrode material containing the microspherical silicon carbon composite material.
A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery containing the negative electrode material.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a silicon carbon composite comprising activated carbon and silicon particles deposited on the inner and outer surfaces of the pores of the activated carbon.
According to the present invention, the deposition rate of the silicon particles is 1.0 to 70%, more preferably 10 to 70%. When the battery is charged and discharged circularly, firstly, because the silicon particles are excessively filled, the volume expansion of the silicon does not have enough space to accommodate, and therefore strong internal stress is generated in the expansion process to damage electrode particles; secondly, when excessive silicon is deposited, the adhesion of silicon deposited on the outer surface of the microsphere is greatly increased, and the silicon in the part also expands and contracts in the charge and discharge processes, so that the electrode is deteriorated.
According to the invention, the activated carbon is microspherical.
According to the invention, the activated carbon comprises pores with the pore diameter of 0.1-50nm, including micropores 0.1-2nm and mesopores 2-50nm, and also has macropores more than 50 nm; the content of mesopores is 5% by volume or more, more preferably 10% by volume or more, and still more preferably 15% by volume or more. When the content of the mesoporous silicon particles, which is used as a deposition space for the main silicon particles, is too low, the amount of silicon particles that can be introduced is limited, and the introduction of the silicon particles requires a longer time, resulting in a low production efficiency. If the content of macropores is too large, local aggregation of a large amount of silicon is likely to occur, and the aggregated portion is likely to expand and contract during cyclic charge and discharge to cause cracking, thereby shortening the life of the electrode; preferably, the volume content of the macropores is less than 10%, preferably less than 5%.
According to the invention, the activated carbon has an average particle size of 10 μm or less, preferably a particle size of 0.1 to 10 μm, preferably 0.1 to 5 μm. When the active carbon with the particle size of more than 10 microns is selected as a raw material and silicon particles are introduced into the active carbon by adopting a vapor deposition method and then used as a negative electrode material, the thickness of the prepared electrode is thicker, and in the charging and discharging process of the battery, the path of lithium ions reaching the central part of the active carbon particles through pores of the active carbon is too long, so that the rapid and high-current charging and discharging performance is reduced.
According to the invention, the specific surface area of the activated carbon is 500-3000m2Per g, preferably 800-2(ii) in terms of/g. When the specific surface area is too small, as a carrier of silicon particles, sufficient space cannot be provided for depositing silicon, so that the energy storage property is not remarkably improved; when the specific surface area is too large, the strength of the activated carbon microspheres used as a carrier is easily low, and the activated carbon particles are damaged in the vapor deposition of silicon and the specific application process.
According to the invention, the activated carbon has a sphericity of 0.5 or more, preferably 0.7 or more, for example 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.
According to the invention, the raw material of the activated carbon is microspherical phenolic resin.
According to the present invention, the source of the silicon particles includes, but is not limited to, SiH4，Si2H6，Si3H8，SiCl4，SiHCl3，Si2Cl6，SiH2Cl2，SiH3One or more of Cl.
According to the invention, the silicon particles are of nanometric size.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the silicon-carbon composite material, which comprises the following steps: and depositing silicon particles in the activated carbon by adopting a vapor deposition method to prepare the silicon-carbon composite material.
According to the invention, the mass ratio of the silicon particles to the activated carbon is 1: 10-1, preferably 1: 5-1, and more preferably 1.72: 1.
According to the present invention, the vapor deposition method may employ vapor deposition equipment such as a rotary furnace, a fluidized bed, etc.
According to the invention, the temperature in the furnace during deposition is 400-1200 ℃; the deposition time is determined according to the amount of silicon deposited required. For example, the furnace temperature is 400 ℃, 500 ℃, 600 ℃, 800 ℃, 1000 ℃, 1200 ℃.
According to the invention, the specific preparation method of the silicon-carbon composite material comprises the following steps: the raw material of the active carbon is carbonized at high temperature under the inert gas environment to form the active carbon with a porous structure, and then silicon particles are deposited in the active carbon by adopting a vapor deposition method to prepare the silicon-carbon composite material.
The method can be used for preparing the activated carbon with different particle sizes, and can be used for the working procedures of carbonizing, crushing, finely crushing, classifying after activation and the like of the raw materials of the activated carbon.
The preparation of the activated carbon adopts the method commonly used in the prior art, for example, the activated carbon raw material (such as thermosetting phenolic resin) is dissolved in water or organic solvent, and then is atomized, dried, carbonized and activated to obtain the activated carbon.
The silicon-carbon composite material has the advantages that in the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery, when silicon particles deposited in active carbon pores expand, enough space is reserved around the silicon particles after expansion, so that the change of the electrode thickness caused by silicon expansion and contraction is greatly inhibited, and the problem of electrode degradation caused by falling of a negative electrode material due to the change of the electrode thickness is solved.

Advantageous effects
(1) Through the sieve mesh effect of the pores of the activated carbon, silicon particles are uniformly distributed to the micropores (below 2 nm), mesopores (2-50nm) and macropores (above 50nm) of the activated carbon in a nanoscale size by a vapor deposition method, so that silicon-carbon compounding is realized.
(2) In the charging process of the secondary battery, when the silicon particles deposited in the pores of the activated carbon expand, enough space is provided around the silicon particles to accommodate the expanded silicon particles, so that the change of the electrode thickness caused by the expansion or contraction of the silicon is greatly inhibited, and the occurrence of electrode degradation problems such as the falling of a negative electrode material is reduced.
(3) Compared with the common irregularly-shaped activated carbon particles, the microspherical activated carbon has the advantages of minimum external surface area and smooth and uniform particle surface due to the symmetrical spherical shape, and when silicon particles are introduced into the activated carbon by adopting a vapor deposition method and then used as a negative electrode material, the compacted density per unit volume is high, the particles are in close contact, and the electrical conductivity of the electrode material can be greatly improved. In addition, compared with irregularly-shaped activated carbon, the microspherical activated carbon has small surface area, so that the prepared battery has high initial charging and discharging efficiency, and when lithium ions reach the center of particles through the activated carbon in the charging and discharging processes of the battery, the path length is uniform, so that the charging and discharging speed is stable.
In addition, the microspherical activated carbon has smooth, edge-angle-free and uniform surfaces, so that the risk that the optimal performance of the electrode cannot be exerted due to the fact that particles are mutually rubbed, collided and broken to generate new surfaces and a large amount of nano-scale fine dust in the transportation and use processes can be effectively reduced.

(5) The preparation process is simple and convenient to operate.
