Description

Silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material with high compact structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery anode materials, and particularly relates to a silicon-carbon composite anode material with a high compact structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In order to meet the requirements of the market on the battery of the portable digital product and the requirement that the energy density of a battery unit of the pure electric vehicle proposed by the industrial information department reaches 300Wh/kg, the development of a new generation of high-capacity negative electrode material becomes a development direction. As a traditional negative electrode material, the graphite capacity is difficult to meet the requirement, while the silicon-based negative electrode has a future mass production trend due to the high capacity, but the silicon-based negative electrode has poor conductivity and large volume expansion, so that the problems of low initial efficiency and poor cycle performance in the application process of the battery are directly caused, and the silicon-based negative electrode is difficult to be used in large-scale commerce. In the current industrialized application, the silicon is doped into the graphite to be regarded as a more reasonable strategy, so that on one hand, the capacity of the negative electrode is improved, and on the other hand, the silicon and the carbon material are compounded, so that a series of problems in the application of the silicon-based negative electrode material can be solved. The excellent conductivity of graphite compensates for the low conductivity of silicon and also serves as a buffer medium to relieve the volume expansion of silicon during charging and discharging.
The shape and structure of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material in the current industry are different, and the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is generally prepared by mixing nano silicon, graphite and other carbon materials, granulating into secondary particles and then coating. Although the energy density of the battery is improved compared with that of a pure graphite cathode, the cycle performance and the compaction density of the product are still not higher than those of a graphite cathode, and the key is that the problems of dispersion of silicon and graphite and interface impedance between silicon and graphite are difficult to solve. The specific surface area of the nano silicon is large, agglomeration is easy, the nano silicon is difficult to uniformly disperse with graphite, and the formed silicon is enriched to cause local excessive expansion; the graphite is of a lamellar structure, the grain diameter and the nano silicon have order-of-magnitude difference, and the grain diameter and the nano silicon are compounded to form larger pores, so that the compactness and the structural stability of the material are poor. Meanwhile, more coating agents are needed for repairing pores on the surface of the material, so that the capacity and the compaction density of the material are reduced, the energy density of a battery is further influenced, and the capacity advantage of the silicon-based material is difficult to embody.
Patent CN107785560a discloses a method for preparing a silicon-carbon negative electrode material by mixing, kneading and pressing, which can better improve the strength of a particle core, but nano silicon and graphite cannot be prevented from filling pores formed by filling flake graphite in a direct granulation mode by spray drying, so that the charge-discharge stability of the material is not high.
In the patent CN112310363a, amorphous carbon is dispersed between gaps of a graphite skeleton to control the size of internal pores of the material to be not more than 50nm, so that the structural stability of the composite material is improved to a certain extent, but from the structural design, the pores formed by disordered graphite sheets in granulation are not solved, and the non-compact morphology of the particle surface influences the processing performance of the material.
