Comparative example 1

Comparative example 2
A nano silicon-based composite anode material was prepared in substantially the same manner as in example 1, except that: PVDF was added as a binder in the precursor preparation process, and other preparation methods and conditions were the same as in example 1.
Electrochemical cycling performance was tested using the following method: dissolving the negative electrode material, the conductive agent and the binder in a solvent according to the mass percentage of 94:1:5, mixing, controlling the solid content to be 50%, coating the mixture on a copper foil current collector, and drying in vacuum to obtain a negative electrode plate; then preparing a ternary positive pole piece prepared by a traditional mature process and 1mol/L LiPF6Electrolyte of/EC + DMC + EMC (v/v ═ 1:1:1), Celgard2The 400 diaphragm, housing, used a conventional manufacturing process to assemble 18650 cylindrical cell. The charge and discharge test of the cylindrical battery is carried out on a LAND battery test system of Wuhanjinnuo electronic Limited company, and the charge and discharge voltage is limited to 2.75V-4.2V at the constant current of 0.2C under the normal temperature condition.
Fig. 3 is a first charge-discharge curve of the nano silicon-based composite anode material prepared in example 1 of the present invention, and it can be seen from the graph that the material has a higher first charge-discharge capacity and a higher first efficiency.

TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002659398730000231
Figure BDA0002659398730000241
As can be seen from the above table, the composite anode material prepared by coating the protective layer on the metal nanoparticles such as silicon and introducing the specific binder has a low specific surface area (3.0 m)2/g~5.0m2The discharge capacity is high (more than 1000mAh/g), the first coulombic efficiency is high (more than 88%), and the capacity retention rate is more than 92.5% after 100 cycles.
In example 7, the silicon is not coated with the protective layer, so that the capacity retention rate of the obtained composite anode material is only 80.3% after the anode material is cycled for 100 weeks. In the preparation process of comparative example 1, no binder is used, so that the first efficiency of the composite anode material is only 84.1%, and the capacity retention rate of the composite anode material after 100 cycles is only 84.1%. Therefore, the protective layer and the binder in the composite negative electrode material have unexpected technical effects on effect improvement.
In comparison with example 10, it is seen that the sample not subjected to the fusion treatment has increased small particles, and further increased the specific surface area of the material, and thus the first efficiency was low and the cycle performance was slightly lowered.
As is clear from comparison between example 1 and example 11, since the active material and the carbon source material are not uniformly dispersed without VC mixing, the carbon coating effect is deteriorated in the carbonization process, the specific surface area of the material is increased, the conductivity is reduced, the first efficiency is low, and the cycle is worse.
The composite material of example 1 had a 50-cycle expansion rate of 37%, and the composite material of comparative example 1 had an expansion rate of 49.2% using a common silicon particle.
In comparison between example 1 and example 12, the specific surface area of the material is significantly increased without the surface coating layer, and during the circulation process, silicon is in direct contact with the electrolyte, which results in reduced first effect and poor circulation performance.
Comparing example 1 with example 13, the materials prepared by using two binders have slightly better cycle performance and first-effect performance, because the conductive silver colloid has improved conductivity and is beneficial to electron transmission.
Comparing example 1 with comparative example 1, it is clear that the expansion of silicon is not restrained without using a binder, and thus the expansion of the material is large and the cycle is poor.
Comparing example 1 with comparative example 2, it can be seen that some conventional binders fail after high temperature carbonization treatment, do not have a bonding effect, and have a similar effect to that of the binders, and cannot restrict the expansion of silicon, so that the expansion of the material is large, and the cycle is poor.
The invention is applicable to silicon-based materials, and also applicable to other metal negative electrodes such as Ge, Sn-based materials and the like.
The applicant states that the present invention is illustrated by the above examples to show the detailed process equipment and process flow of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above detailed process equipment and process flow, i.e. it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above detailed process equipment and process flow to be implemented.
