However, the silicon negative electrode material has problems of large volume change, low conductivity and ionic conductivity, unstable solid electrolyte interface, and the like, which leads to serious pulverization and capacity attenuation of silicon, and hinders practical application of the silicon negative electrode material. Among the numerous solutions, carbon compounding is a promising and effective solution, and is receiving increasing attention.
In the silicon/carbon composite negative electrode material, silicon is used as an active substance with high capacity, and carbon improves the conductivity and simultaneously slows down the expansion of the silicon. In order to solve the problems of poor conductivity and volume expansion of silicon materials, the modification method mainly comprises the steps of silicon particle size nanocrystallization, carbon coating and the like.

Detailed Description
The invention provides a lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material, a preparation method and application thereof, and the invention is further described in detail below in order to make the purpose, technical scheme and effect of the invention clearer and clearer. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of a lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano silicon composite material, which comprises the following steps:
s1, sintering the nano silicon for 1-5 hours at the temperature of 300-600 ℃ in the air atmosphere to generate a silicon oxide coating layer on the surface of the nano silicon;
s2, dispersing the nano-silicon with the silicon oxide coating layer in an organic solvent, adding lithium hydroxide monohydrate, and stirring to obtain a first suspension;
s3, adding the carbon nano tube and the polyvinylpyrrolidone into an organic solvent, and performing ultrasonic dispersion to obtain a second suspension;
s4, mixing the first suspension and the second suspension, and then stirring, heating and drying to obtain a lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano silicon composite material precursor;
s5, carrying out heat treatment on the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material precursor to obtain the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material.
In this embodiment, the nano-silicon is subjected to surface treatment, and is sintered in an air atmosphere to generate a silicon oxide coating layer, and then reacts with lithium hydroxide to obtain lithium orthosilicate-coated nano-silicon, and finally is compounded with a carbon material to obtain the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material. Namely, the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite includes: the silicon-based composite material comprises a nano silicon substrate, lithium orthosilicate coated on the surface of the nano silicon substrate and a carbon material coated on the surface of the lithium orthosilicate.
In the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material described in this embodiment, the lithium orthosilicate is a fast ion conductor, and the lithium orthosilicate coating layer can improve the ionic conductivity of the composite material, effectively alleviate the volume expansion effect of the nano-silicon particles in the charging and discharging processes, and can prevent the nano-silicon particles from directly contacting with the electrolyte to generate an excessively thick solid electrolyte interface film. The carbon nano tube and the polyvinylpyrrolidone are used as carbon sources, and the three-dimensional conductive network carbon material with a coating structure can be formed on the surface of the lithium orthosilicate coating layer after heat treatment. Therefore, the prepared lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material has higher specific capacity, rate capability and cycling stability. Meanwhile, the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material of the embodiment has low preparation cost and simple preparation method, and is easy for industrial production.
The lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material provided by the embodiment is used as a lithium ion battery cathode material, the specific capacity of the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material is superior to that of other carbon-coated nano-silicon composite materials, the voltage range is 0.01-3V, and the average specific discharge capacity is 1200.7mAh/g, 1098.08mAh/g, 937.37mAh/g, 822.9mAh/g and 734.16mAh/g respectively under the current densities of 0.1A/g, 0.2A/g, 0.5A/g, 1A/g and 2A/g.
In the embodiment, the nano silicon is used as a raw material and has low price; the thermal oxidation treatment in the air atmosphere is simple, and the preparation cost is low; lithium hydroxide is used as a lithium source for lithiation treatment, so that uniform dispersion at an atomic level is easily realized, and a uniform lithium orthosilicate lithium ion conductor coating layer can be prepared; the carbon nano tube and the polyvinylpyrrolidone are used as carbon sources, and a three-dimensional conductive network with a coating structure can be formed after heat treatment.
In step S1, in one embodiment, the nano-silicon is prepared by the following method: high-energy ball milling the micron silicon in absolute ethyl alcohol, and drying to obtain powdery nano silicon (the particle size is 50-200 nanometers). The nano silicon is obtained by high-energy ball milling of the micron silicon, and the nano silicon is used as a raw material and has low price.
In step S2, nano-silicon having a silicon oxide coating layer is dispersed in an organic solvent, lithium hydroxide monohydrate is added, and the mixture is stirred uniformly (for 5 to 15 minutes, for example, 10 minutes) to obtain a first suspension. In this step, the lithium source is uniformly dispersed in the first suspension.
In one embodiment, the addition amount of the lithium hydroxide monohydrate is 10.5-17.5% of the mass of the nano silicon. When the content is less than 10.5%, the electrochemical performance of the prepared lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano silicon composite material is not obviously improved due to too small lithium source, and when the content is more than 17.5%, the lithium orthosilicate coating layer on the silicon surface is too thick, the capacity is difficult to exert, and the commercial application is not facilitated.
In one embodiment, the organic solvent is one or more of methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propanol, and the like, without limitation.
In step S3, the carbon nanotubes and polyvinylpyrrolidone are added to the organic solvent, and ultrasonic dispersion is performed (for 20 to 40 minutes, for example, 30 minutes) to obtain a second suspension. The polyvinylpyrrolidone can uniformly disperse the carbon nanotubes in an organic solvent, amorphous carbon can be generated after subsequent heat treatment, the silicon nanoparticles are coated, and the carbon nanotubes are mutually bonded to form a conductive network with a coating structure.
In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the nano-silicon is 1: 2. Since the carbon nanotube has a low capacity, the capacity is low when the amount of the carbon nanotube is too large, and the cycle stability is deteriorated when the amount of the carbon nanotube is too small.
In one embodiment, the organic solvent is one or more of methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propanol, and the like, without limitation.
In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the polyvinylpyrrolidone is 1: 1.
In step S4, in one embodiment, the stirring time is 5-15 minutes, such as 10 minutes. In one embodiment, the temperature for the heat drying is 100-.
In step S5, performing heat treatment on the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite precursor, in which lithium hydroxide reacts with silicon oxide on the surface of the nano-silicon to generate lithium orthosilicate, polyvinylpyrrolidone undergoes a carbonization reaction to generate amorphous carbon, coating the nano-silicon particles, and simultaneously bonding the carbon nanotubes to each other to form a conductive network with a coating structure, thereby obtaining the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite.
In one embodiment, the step of performing a heat treatment on the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano silicon composite precursor to obtain the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano silicon composite specifically includes:
and putting the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material precursor into a sintering furnace, and carrying out heat treatment for 1-5 hours at the temperature of 800-1000 ℃ in the inert gas atmosphere to obtain the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano-silicon composite material.
In one embodiment, the temperature is raised to 800-1000 ℃ at a temperature rise rate of 3-10 ℃/min. For example, the temperature increase rate can be 3 deg.C/min, 5 deg.C/min, or 10 deg.C/min, etc. By controlling the heating rate during the heat treatment, the reaction process can be more stable, and the reaction can be more thoroughly carried out.
In one embodiment, after the heat treatment is finished, the lithium orthosilicate and the carbon-coated nano silicon composite material are obtained by sequentially cooling, grinding and sieving. Further, cooling is carried out at a certain cooling rate, wherein the cooling rate can be 5 ℃/min or 7 ℃/min and the like. By controlling the cooling rate, the reaction process can be more stable, and the reaction can be more thorough. It should be noted that the temperature rising rate and the temperature lowering rate may be the same or different.
In one embodiment, the inert gas is selected from one or more of nitrogen, helium, argon, and the like.
The embodiment of the invention provides a lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano silicon composite material, which comprises the following components: nano silicon, lithium orthosilicate coated on the surface of the nano silicon and a carbon material coated on the surface of the lithium orthosilicate;
and/or the lithium orthosilicate and carbon-coated nano silicon composite material is prepared by the preparation method provided by the embodiment of the invention.
