Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a silicon composite negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof and a secondary battery.
Background
At present, the theoretical specific capacity of graphite negative electrode materials widely adopted by lithium ion batteries is only 372mAh g-1And the theoretical specific capacity of the silicon reaches 4200mAh g-1And the lithium intercalation potential is lower than 0.5V. The silicon is abundant in the earth, low in price and environment-friendly. Under the urgent need of improving the performance of the lithium ion battery, silicon is expected to become a new generation of high-capacity cathode material. However, the lithium ion battery silicon negative electrode material has these bottleneck problems during the charging and discharging process: (1) the volume expansion of silicon can exceed 300 percent in the lithiation/delithiation process, so that the problems of particle cracking, pulverization, falling and the like are caused, and finally the performance of the battery is attenuated; (2) in the charging and discharging process, due to the constant change of the electrode volume, a Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) on the surface of the silicon cathode can be repeatedly damaged and regenerated, so that the problems of reduction of the conductive capacity of the material, reduction of the charging and discharging efficiency and the like are caused; (3) the silicon has poor conductivity, and the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions in the silicon material is small, so that the power density of the silicon negative electrode material is poor, and the requirement of high specific capacity is difficult to achieve.
In contrast, in the aspect of composite material structure design, a plurality of yolk-shell structures are adopted, and the yolk-shell structure silicon carbon material which takes carbon as a shell and silicon as a core is generally adopted, and a certain gap is formed between the core and the shell. The structure can provide a buffer layer for the volume expansion of the electrode, and avoid the direct contact of the silicon cathode and the electrolyte, thereby improving the problem of instability of the SEI film. Although the prior art alleviates the problems associated with the volume change of silicon to some extent, there is still room for improvement in improving the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of the silicon negative electrode.

As shown in fig. 1, a first aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a silicon composite anode material, where the silicon composite anode material is a core-shell structure, and includes a silicon-based material core, and a middle layer and a shell layer that are sequentially coated on an outer surface of the core; wherein the intermediate layer comprises a carbon nanomaterial loaded with a metal element, and the outer shell layer comprises an amorphous carbon material.
The silicon composite negative electrode material provided by the first aspect of the embodiment of the application is of a core-shell structure and comprises a silicon-based material core with high theoretical specific capacity, and a middle layer and a shell layer which are sequentially coated on the outer surface of the core; on one hand, the toughness of the metal and the flexibility of the carbon nanomaterial enable the middle layer to well absorb stress generated by the violent change of the volume of the core silicon-based material, so that adverse effects such as damage of a pole piece and the like caused by the volume change of the silicon-based material are avoided; on the other hand, the metal and carbon nano material has high ionic or electronic conductivity, and can effectively improve the transfer rate of lithium ions and electrons between the amorphous carbon material outer shell layer and the silicon-based material inner core, so that the integral power density of the silicon composite negative electrode material is improved. In addition, the outer shell layer comprises an amorphous carbon material which has higher reversible specific capacity, higher conductivity and good compatibility with electrolyte, and has a certain buffer effect on the volume change of the core silicon nano material. Therefore, the silicon composite negative electrode material provided by the embodiment of the application has excellent specific capacity, good structural stability and high ion electron transfer transmission efficiency through the synergistic effect of the core silicon-based material, the carbon nano material with the middle layer loaded with the metal element and the shell amorphous carbon material, and can effectively improve the electrochemical properties of the battery, such as energy density, cycle life, safety and the like.
In some embodiments, in the carbon nanomaterial loaded with the metal element, the metal element includes: at least one of copper and silver; the metal elements not only have excellent electron migration and transmission performance, but also improve the diffusion rate of electrons between the inner core and the outer shell; and the core silicon-based material has excellent ductility and toughness, can well absorb the stress generated by the volume drastic change of the core silicon-based material in the charging and discharging process, reduces the volume change of the pole piece, improves the stability of the pole piece, prevents the pole piece from cracking, falling powder and the like, and improves the cycling stability of the battery.
In some embodiments, in the metal element-loaded carbon nanomaterial, the carbon nanomaterial includes: at least one of graphene and carbon nanotubes; the carbon nano materials have excellent ionic conductivity, and can improve the ion embedding and removing effect of the battery in the charging and discharging processes, thereby improving the rate capability of the battery. In addition, the carbon nano materials are easy to form an intermediate coating layer with a loose structure through acting forces such as Van der Waals force and the like, so that a buffer space is provided for volume change of the core silicon-based material in the charging and discharging processes, and the stability of the silicon nano core material is further improved.
In the middle layer of the silicon negative electrode material, metal is loaded in the carbon nano material, so that the load uniformity of metal elements can be improved, the volume deformation of the silicon-based material of the inner core is relieved through the synergistic effect of the metal elements and the carbon nano material, and the migration transmission efficiency of ionic electrons in the inner core and the outer shell is improved. In some embodiments, the loading amount of the metal element in the carbon nanomaterial loaded with the metal element is 18-23 wt%, and the loading amount fully ensures the effect of the intermediate layer on relieving the volume deformation of the core silicon-based material, and simultaneously ensures the gram volume of the silicon-based composite material. If the loading amount of the metal element is too high, the gram capacity of the silicon composite negative electrode material can be obviously reduced because the metal element and the carbon nano material can not participate in the ion deintercalation cycle in the charging and discharging processes of the battery, so that the energy density of the battery is reduced. When the metal simple substance directly forms an independent coating layer, the gram capacity of the silicon composite cathode material can be obviously reduced, and the metal simple substance coating layer can influence the embedding and extracting efficiency of lithium ion plasma in the core silicon-based material, so that the multiplying power performance of the battery is reduced.
In some embodiments, the metal element-loaded carbon nanomaterial is selected from: copper-graphene composites. In the intermediate layer formed by the copper-graphene composite material in the embodiment of the application, on one hand, the toughness of copper and the flexibility of graphene enable the intermediate layer to well absorb stress generated by the violent volume change of the core silicon-based material, so that adverse effects caused by the volume change are avoided; on the other hand, the high ionic conductivity of copper and graphene can effectively improve the diffusion rate of lithium ions between the amorphous carbon outer shell layer and the silicon-based material inner core, so that the overall power density of the negative electrode material is improved.
In some embodiments, in the silicon composite anode material, the mass ratio of the silicon-based material core, the middle layer and the outer shell layer is 1: (0.5-0.8): (0.5 to 0.8); the proportion fully ensures the comprehensive performances of the silicon composite negative electrode material such as specific capacity, structural stability, cycle performance and the like. If the proportion of the middle layer or the outer shell layer is too low, the volume deformation relieving effect of the core silicon-based material in the charging and discharging process is poor, the stability of the cathode material is difficult to improve, and the migration and transmission effects of ions and electrons in the silicon composite cathode material are not favorably improved; if the proportion of the intermediate layer or the outer shell layer is too high, the content of the silicon-based material is reduced, so that the gram capacity of the negative electrode material is reduced, and the energy density of the battery is reduced. In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the silicon-based material core, the intermediate layer, and the outer shell layer in the silicon composite anode material includes, but is not limited to, 1: 0.5: 0.5, 1: 0.5: 0.6, 1: 0.5: 0.7, 1: 0.5: 0.8, 1: 0.6: 0.8, 1: 0.7: 0.8, 1: 0.8: 0.8, 1: 0.6: 0.7, 1: 0.7: 0.6, 1: 0.8: 0.7, etc.
In some embodiments, in the silicon composite negative electrode material, the particle size D50 of the inner core of the silicon-based material is 200nm to 1 μm, preferably 200 to 500nm, the thickness of the middle layer is 100nm to 1 μm, preferably 100 to 500nm, and the thickness of the outer shell layer is 100nm to 1 μm, preferably 100 to 500 nm. In the silicon composite negative electrode material, the particle size of the core of the silicon-based material and the thicknesses of the middle layer and the shell layer also effectively ensure the comprehensive performances of the silicon composite negative electrode material, such as specific capacity, structural stability, cycle performance and the like, and the ghost composite negative electrode material has a larger specific surface area, so that a larger active specific surface area is provided for the de-intercalation of lithium ions, and the cycle charge and discharge efficiency of the battery is improved. If the middle layer or the outer shell layer is too thin, the volume deformation relieving effect of the core silicon-based material in the charging and discharging process is poor, the stability of the cathode material is difficult to improve, and the migration and transmission effects of ions and electrons in the silicon composite cathode material are not favorably improved; if the intermediate layer or the outer shell layer is too thick, the content of the silicon-based material is reduced, so that the gram capacity of the negative electrode material is reduced, and the energy density of the battery is reduced.
In some embodiments, the silicon-based material is selected from: at least one of silicon simple substance, silicon oxide and silicon carbide, and the silicon-based materials have high theoretical specific capacity and can effectively improve the energy density of the battery.
