Description

Preparation method of micron silicon-graphene composite aerogel, electrode and preparation method of electrode
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of new energy materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a micron silicon-graphene composite aerogel, a negative electrode and a preparation method of the micron silicon-graphene composite aerogel.
Background
Lithium ion batteries have been widely used in the fields of portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, power grid energy storage, and the like due to their advantages of high energy density, high open circuit voltage, long cycle life, no memory effect, and the like. However, the current commercial lithium ion battery mainly adopts carbon-based negative electrode materials such as graphite, the theoretical specific capacity of the lithium ion battery is low (372 mAh/g), a lithium intercalation potential platform of the lithium ion battery is close to metal lithium, and the lithium precipitation is easy to occur during rapid charging, so that the potential safety hazard is caused, and the requirement of the future lithium ion battery on high energy density cannot be met.
Silicon is a lithium battery negative electrode material with the highest specific capacity, which is discovered at present, the theoretical specific capacity of the silicon is up to 4200mAh/g, but the most fatal defects are that the volume expansion change in the reaction reaches 320%, the silicon reacts with an electrolyte to grow an SEI film and consume lithium ions, the conductivity of the silicon is poor, and the factors seriously restrict the application of the silicon as the negative electrode material. In order to solve the above problems, a method of compounding with a conductive material is necessary.
In recent years, reports of compounding graphene and silicon as a negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery are frequent. However, the existing production method of the graphene/silicon negative electrode material only adopts a mode of coating graphene on the surface of silicon particles, and partially solves the problems of expansion and poor conductivity of a silicon electrode. The pulverization of the silicon electrode is not well solved, and the graphene and the silicon are very good in stability and very high in melting point and are difficult to combine together, so that the constructed three-dimensional graphene grid is not firm, and the graphene grid can collapse along with the expansion and contraction of the silicon electrode, so that the performance is greatly reduced. Therefore, the development of a silicon-graphene composite negative electrode material with high mechanical strength and long cycle life is a technical problem in the field of lithium ion batteries.
In order to solve the problems, the micron silicon material is embedded into the graphene aerogel, when the compounding condition and the compounding ratio of silicon and graphene are controlled, the graphene aerogel can be used as a better conductive framework supporting material, meanwhile, the preparation process of the negative electrode material is simplified by optimizing the compounding ratio and the preparation method of the negative electrode slurry, and finally, the micron silicon-graphene composite aerogel negative electrode with long service life and high specific capacity is obtained.

S1, firstly, carrying out surface treatment on micron silicon powder with mass m =21g, wherein the surface treatment comprises but is not limited to coating the micron silicon material with a carbon-based material, and forming a uniform carbon coating layer on the surface of the micron silicon powder after sintering; sintering at 700-1000 deg.c in argon atmosphere for 1-6 hr; mixing graphite oxide slurry prepared from 42g of graphite with deionized water, wherein the volume of the deionized water mixed with the graphite is V =7L, and performing ultrasonic dispersion to obtain a graphene dispersion liquid A; mixing the coated micron silicon with 1L of deionized water to obtain a dispersion liquid B; then mixing the dispersion liquid A, the dispersion liquid B and 100g of sodium ascorbate, and then uniformly stirring by magnetic force to obtain a dispersion liquid C; the dispersion C was added to the closed reactor.

weighing the micron silicon-graphene composite aerogel particles, the conductive agent and the binder according to the mass ratio of a: b: c, wherein a =85, b =7 and c =8.
Compared with micron silicon, the micron silicon has poor conductivity, so that the micron silicon is coated by the carbon-based material on the first aspect, the conductivity of the micron silicon is improved, and a first-order expansion limiting structure is formed; the formed graphene aerogel is micron silicon
In the process of preparing the negative electrode, the binder plays a vital role, and because the aerogel is loose and porous, a relatively large amount of binder is selected, the aerogel powder can be well bound, firm binding is provided among powder particles, and the electric conductivity is not greatly lost.
S5, uniformly stirring and mixing the micron silicon-graphene composite aerogel particles (85 wt%), the conductive agent (3 wt% CNT and 4wt% SP), the binder (5.6 wt% CMC and 2.4wt% SBR) and deionized water into slurry, wherein the weight% represents the percentage of each component in the total weight of the core-shell structure composite material, the conductive agent and the binder.

Examples 2 to 12
The process steps of examples 2-12 are the same as in example 1, except for the specific compounding ratio parameters, as shown in Table 1.
The process steps of comparative examples 1-12 are the same as example 1, except for the specific compounding ratio parameters, as shown in Table 2.
Test example 1 lithium battery preparation and Performance test
Cutting the electrode plates obtained in the examples 1-12 and the comparative examples 1-12 into round sheets matched with the button half cell to be tested, assembling the round sheets with a counter electrode lithium sheet and a conventional electrolyte into the button half cell, and carrying out charge and discharge tests under the following test conditions: the voltage range of 5mV-0.8V is activated for 2 cycles at 0.1C/0.1C, and the cycle is performed at 0.3C/0.3C. The electrochemical performance parameters of the batteries fabricated with the electrodes of examples 1-12 and comparative examples 1-12 were tested as shown in tables 1-2 below.
Table 1: example associated proportioning parameters and test data
Figure BDA0003775046350000101
Table 2: comparative example related proportioning parameters
Figure BDA0003775046350000111
It can be seen by comparing examples 1-12 with comparative examples 1-6 that too few micron silicon particles (comparative examples 1-3) have improved cycle retention, but the capacity is lower because the Si content is too low; with the increase of the addition amount of silicon, the capacity is multiplied, but when the silicon micron is excessive (comparative examples 4-6), although the capacity is high, the cycle retention rate is low, particularly the retention rate is lower than 50% after 100 cycles of the cycle, the excessive Si causes that the aerogel does not keep much, the Si is not completely in the frame structure, and the expansion during the cycle causes that a large amount of Si fails; thus, the mass ratio of the silicon element to the carbon element is selected to be 2.
Comparing example 5 with comparative examples 7 to 9, it can be seen that when the powder particles obtained by grinding the microsilica-graphene composite aerogel are smaller, the cycle retention rate is lower, because the smaller the powder particles are, the more seriously the frame is damaged, and the buffer effect on Si expansion is reduced, which is one of the most critical parameters in the electrode preparation method provided by the present invention, when the powder particles are controlled to be 100 to 200 μm, the buffer structure of the frame can be maintained, and the density of the electrode can not be too low, and in the range of these dimensions, the density of the manufactured negative electrode is in a usable range.
Comparing example 5 with comparative examples 10 to 12, it can be seen that when the powder particles obtained by grinding the micron silicon-graphene composite aerogel are bonded with a proper amount of conductive agent and binder, the content of the conductive agent and the binder is too low, so that firstly the aerogel particles are not well bonded, secondly the conductivity of the micron silicon is not enhanced by the conductive agent, firstly the electrode falls off seriously in the electrolyte, further the cycle retention rate is very low, secondly the electron transport performance of the electrode material is poor, the first reversible capacity is greatly reduced, and the electrode material is not suitable for being used as the electrode material of a battery.
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
