Description

Composite anode layer, preparation method and application thereof in battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of battery materials, in particular to a composite anode layer, a preparation method and application thereof in batteries.
Background
The carbon nanotube as one-dimensional nanometer material has light weight, perfect hexagonal structure connection and many abnormal mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. Carbon nanotubes, if composed of a single sheet, are also known as single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs); consisting of several concentric sheets, also known as multiwall nanotubes (MWNTs). In recent years, with the deep research of carbon nanotubes and nano materials, the wide application prospect is also continuously shown, and particularly, the conductivity of electrodes (including anodes and cathodes) is enriched as an additive in lithium ion batteries.
When the lithium ion battery is charged and discharged, lithium dendrites are inevitably generated in the repeated deposition and precipitation processes of lithium ions, and the growth of the lithium dendrites not only causes irreversible loss of lithium elements, so that the cycle performance of the battery is weakened, but also can puncture a diaphragm, so that the battery is short-circuited, even fire is caused, and great hidden danger is caused to the use of the lithium metal secondary battery. Therefore, inhibition of lithium dendrite growth has become a highly desirable problem.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention discloses a composite anode layer, which comprises a plurality of active sites of a spiral porous nano tube material containing transition metal, wherein the transition metal is distributed at the tube end, the tube diameter is uniformly dispersed, lithium metal is induced to be uniformly deposited, lithium dendrite formation is avoided, and simultaneously, the defect sites of the spiral material are more, especially, the defect sites are increased after N is doped, the sites can promote lithium ions to pass through, and the conductivity is improved without reducing the lithium ion transmission performance. The lithium-philic material is of a spiral nanotube structure, a composite negative electrode layer is formed after the surface of the existing basic negative electrode plate is compounded, transition metal is positioned at a nanotube port on one hand for forming a core for the growth of a carbon nanotube, and on the other hand, when a battery is charged, the uniformly distributed transition metal can not only induce the deintercalation of lithium in the negative electrode, but also timely disperse lithium ions, so that the situation that the lithium ions are not timely embedded between the negative electrode layers and are locally gathered on the surface when the lithium intercalation speed of the negative electrode is too high is avoided; the composite material is used as an interface layer of the basic negative electrode plate, the high porosity promotes lithium ion transmission, the dense nano tube has high stability, the interface layer can further prevent negative electrode lithium dendrite from penetrating through a diaphragm, and the safety performance of the battery is improved.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention provides a composite negative electrode layer, which comprises a basic negative electrode plate, wherein at least one surface of the basic negative electrode plate is compounded with an interface layer, the interface layer contains a carbon nano tube material, the carbon nano tube material is bent or spiral, transition metal nano particles exist at the port of the carbon nano tube material, and the carbon nano tube material is of a hollow structure. The basic negative plate can be a common negative plate and comprises a graphite negative plate, a silicon-containing negative plate and a lithium metal negative plate.
According to the design of the invention, the inventor researches and discovers that the morphology characteristics of the hollow carbon nanotube material can be adjusted, and the further construction of an electron transmission network of the carbon nanotube material can be realized on the premise of less addition. Different active sites and specific surface areas are realized by adjusting the helicity of the carbon nano tube, so that the conductivity of the carbon nano tube material and the liquid absorption rate of electrolyte are improved; the carbon nano tube has uniform tube diameter distribution, can avoid material agglomeration, is beneficial to dispersion, and can improve the resistance, the multiplying power performance and the cycle performance of the battery by only adding a small amount. The transition metal nanoparticles at the ports of the carbon nanotube material are nucleation sites formed by the carbon nanotube material of the present invention. In the in-situ synthesis process of the carbon nano tube, the shape of the carbon nano tube can be controlled to be straight, curved and spiral with different degrees by controlling the synthesis conditions, the screw pitch is uniform when in spiral, and the screw angle changes along with the number of spiral turns, so that the stability of the carbon nano tube is maintained. When the carbon nanotubes are used for improving the conductivity of the silicon material, the carbon nanotubes with high spiral degree are more beneficial to improving the conductivity of the silicon material and inhibiting the expansion because the silicon material has poor conductivity and high expansion compared with the carbon material; when the carbon nano tube is used for the positive electrode active material containing the transition metal, the performance requirement can be met when the carbon nano tube is in a straight line shape, a bent shape or a low-degree spiral shape because the positive electrode has relatively small expansion and the conductivity requirement is smaller than that of a silicon material; when the carbon nano tube is used for a sulfur-containing positive electrode, the high-degree spiral morphology advantage is higher as the mechanism of a silicon negative electrode is similar.
The inventor further researches to compound the carbon nano tube on a basic negative plate to form a compound negative layer, wherein transition metal is positioned at a nano tube port on one hand for forming a core for the growth of the carbon nano tube, and on the other hand, when the battery is charged, the uniformly distributed transition metal can not only induce the deintercalation of lithium in the negative electrode, but also enable lithium ions to be uniformly intercalated to avoid local lithium dendrites; the composite material is used as an interface layer of the composite anode layer, the high porosity promotes lithium ion transmission, the dense nano tube has strong stability, and when the interface layer is arranged between the diaphragm and the anode, the interface layer can be used as an intermediate layer to prevent lithium dendrite from penetrating through the diaphragm, so that the safety performance of the battery is improved; when the interface layer is positioned on the other side of the negative electrode piece and far away from the diaphragm end, lithium can be induced to be embedded into the deep part of the negative electrode, and lithium dendrite formation on the surface of the negative electrode piece near the diaphragm end can be prevented.
As a further scheme, the diameter of the carbon nanotube material is 5nm-100nm. The bending of the carbon nano tube material is facilitated while the electrical property of the carbon nano tube is improved.
As a further aspect, the diameter of the carbon nanotube material is 20nm-40nm.
As a further scheme, the pitch of the carbon nanotube material is 90nm-100nm. The appropriate screw pitch not only can easily realize the stability of the curled carbon nano tube, but also can avoid the influence of difficult dispersion of conductive material agglomeration when the screw pitch is too small, and the internal resistance of the battery is increased because the spacing between active material particles cannot be further reduced after the active material is mixed when the screw pitch is too large, thereby increasing the consumption of the binder and the internal resistance of the battery.
The pitch of the carbon nanotube material in the invention represents the straight line distance between two points corresponding to the centers of the planes of the adjacent two spirals by the spiral coil.
As a further aspect, the helix angle of the carbon nanotube material is 30 ° to 120 °.
The helix angle of the carbon nanotube material in the invention represents a bending angle formed by starting bending growth in a direction deviating from a straight line in the growth process of the nearly straight line by using the growth start point at the end opening of the tube, and the sequentially-appearing spiral bending angles can be respectively represented as theta 1, theta 2 and theta 3.
As a further scheme, the aspect ratio of the carbon nanotube material is 3-1000. When the length-diameter ratio is too small, the performance of the conductive battery is reduced like that of the spherical granular conductive agent; when the aspect ratio is too large, the nanotube structure is liable to be unstable.
As a further proposal, the diameter ratio of the particle size of the transition metal nano particles to the diameter of the carbon nano tube material is (1-1.5): 1-1.5. The diameters of the two are similar, so that the transition metal particles are stably connected to the carbon nano tube ports, and the formation of longer spiral morphology is promoted through the stable chemical bond action.
As a further proposal, the thickness of the interface layer is 2-200 μm. An excessively thick interface layer can increase the distance of an ion transmission path, so that the impedance of a lithium battery is increased, and more irreversible capacity is lost; the too thin interface layer cannot thoroughly inhibit the growth and puncture of dendrites due to lower mechanical strength, and has no obvious modification effect on the negative plate.
As a further alternative, the thickness of the interfacial layer is 5-40 μm.
As a further aspect, the transition metal nanoparticles comprise one or more of transition metals;
as a still further aspect, the transition metal includes one or more of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and manganese.
As a further aspect, the transition metal includes one or both of iron and copper. Iron and copper facilitate the formation of multi-coordination bonds.
As a still further aspect, the transition metal is a mixture of iron and copper. The combination of iron and copper is more beneficial in promoting the formation of the helical shape of the carbon nanotubes.
The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a composite anode layer, comprising the steps of:
s1: uniformly mixing a transition metal-containing lithium-philic material precursor, a carbon source and a nitrogen source, drying, and calcining in an inert atmosphere to obtain an A1 material;
s2: mixing the A1 material obtained in the step S1 with an electrophile and a protonic acid solution under a certain condition, and drying to obtain an A2 material;
s3: and (3) compositing the A2 material obtained in the step (S2) with at least one surface of the basic negative plate, so that the A2 material is uniformly covered on at least one surface of the negative plate, and obtaining the composite negative plate.
In the method, a transition metal-containing lithium-philic material precursor, a carbon source and a nitrogen source are calcined at high temperature, so that non-spiral Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) which are short and straight tend to be easily obtained, and then the carbon nanotubes are treated under the combined action of an electrophile and protonic acid, so that a curved or spiral carbon nanotube material is obtained. The transition metal salt is reduced by the carbon source during high temperature calcination to form the transition metal nanoparticles. The transition metal and the carbon nitrogen form coordination bonds, more carbon nitrogen fragments are adsorbed to migrate to the transition metal nano particles and grow gradually, other irregular structural fragments or particles are formed in the process, and in the S2 step, the particles, chain-shaped and irregular annular fragments which do not form a tube are subjected to electrophilic reagent and protonic acid mixing treatment, so that the nano tubes are further promoted to stably form a bending shape with a certain degree of helicity, and even form a helix shape which is stable to different degrees through the rupture and recombination of chemical bonds. In addition, in the step S2, defective sites in the tube are filled by fragments, and the originally separated tubes are caused to be combined together by metal complexation effect, so that the tube is prolonged, the appearance is more dense and uniform, and the carbon nano tubes are crosslinked to form a stable structure by the comprehensive coordination of multiple bond energies. In the S3 step, the composite material is used as an interface layer of the composite negative plate, the high porosity promotes lithium ion transmission, the dense nano tube has high stability, the interface layer can further prevent lithium dendrites from penetrating through a diaphragm, the safety performance of the battery is improved, when the interface layer is loaded on two sides of the negative plate, one side of the interface layer material far away from the diaphragm can attract part of lithium to be deposited on one side close to the interface layer, lithium precipitation on the surface of the negative electrode is prevented, and the performance of the battery is further improved.
As a further scheme, the precursor of the lithium-philic material in S1 is selected from transition metal inorganic salts.
As a still further aspect, at least one of the transition metal chloride, the transition metal nitrate, the transition metal acetate, and the transition metal fluoride.
As a further scheme, the carbon source in S1 includes at least one of biomass carbon source, carbon powder, graphene and activated carbon.
As a further scheme, the nitrogen source in S1 includes one or more of nitrogen-containing heterocycle and its derivative, guanidine salt derivative.
As a further scheme, the electrophilic reagent solution in S2 includes at least one of aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, boron trifluoride, sulfur trioxide, ferric bromide, titanium bromide, tin chloride, zinc chloride, ferric trichloride, and molybdenum pentachloride.
As a further scheme, the protonic acid solution in S2 includes at least one of formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, oxalic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, citric acid, camphorsulfonic acid, and benzoic acid. Under the combined action of no electrophile and proton acid, the carbon nano tube tends to be in a relatively short eccentric line shape, the helicity of the carbon nano tube is improved after the step of adding S2, and each turning part of the carbon nano tube with high helicity can form a new topological structure active site, so that the conductivity is improved.
As a further scheme, in S1, besides the carbon source and the nitrogen source are uniformly mixed, other nonmetallic sources are also included, and the other nonmetallic sources are one or more of a phosphorus source and a fluorine source. P, F is easy to form a coordination bond with transition metal, so that the active site is further improved, the formation of nano tubes is promoted, the porosity of the material is increased, and the ion transmission, the conductivity and the safety of an interface layer are comprehensively improved. The phosphorus source is an organic or inorganic substance containing phosphorus, and the fluorine source is an organic or inorganic substance containing fluorine, typically but not limited to, for example, the phosphorus source is at least one of triphenylphosphine, tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, sodium 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, hydrogen phosphide, sodium phosphate, sodium phosphite, elemental phosphorus, sodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphite and phosphoric acid, and the fluorine source is at least one of hydrogen fluoride, lithium fluoride, ammonium fluoride, sodium fluoride, ammonium fluoride, potassium fluoride, aluminum fluoride, magnesium fluoride, sodium fluoride, calcium fluoride, tetrabutylammonium fluoride, triethylmethoxyammonium fluoride, ammonium fluoroborate, tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate and polyvinylidene fluoride.
As a further scheme, the carbon source, the nitrogen source, other non-metal sources and the precursor of the lithium-philic material have the molar ratio of carbon, nitrogen, other non-metal and transition metal elements of (5-20): (50-150): (5-50): (1-5).
As a further proposal, the carbon source, the nitrogen source, the other non-metal source and the precursor of the lithium-philic material have the molar ratio of carbon, nitrogen, other non-metal and transition metal elements of (5-20): 50-120): 5-50): 1-5. At this ratio, the resulting carbon nanotube helix is suitable, the ionic conductivity and the electronic conductivity of the negative electrode interface are both good, the comprehensive performance is good, the electronic conductivity is insufficient when the relative ratio of nitrogen is lower than 50, the nanotubes tend to be more linear, the too long and denser porosity decrease of the tubes gradually starts to inhibit lithium ion transmission when the relative ratio of nitrogen exceeds 120, and the electronic conductivity is better but the ionic conductivity slightly decreases.
As a further scheme, the mass ratio of the A1 material to the electrophilic reagent solution to the protonic acid solution in the S2 is 1 (5-10): 10-200.
As a further scheme, the calcination temperature in the S1 is 500-800 ℃ and the calcination time is 2-10 h. When the calcination temperature is too high, the metal-nitrogen bond is broken, and the performance is lowered.
As a further scheme, the calcination temperature in the step S1 is kept at 550 ℃ for 2 hours, and the temperature is continuously increased to 750 ℃ for 2 hours. Calcination at the staged temperature may allow nucleation and tube growth reactions to proceed more fully.
As a further scheme, the temperature of the treatment in the step S2 is 10-100 ℃, and the reaction time is 1-20 h.
As a further scheme, the S3 is coated by adopting preparation slurry, and the mass ratio of the A2 material in the slurry is not less than 80%.
A third aspect of the present invention is to provide a battery or an electrochemical device having the composite anode layer and the composite anode layer prepared by the method of preparing the same.
The invention has the characteristics and beneficial effects that:
(1) The spiral porous nano tube material containing transition metal has more active sites, the transition metal is distributed at the tube end, the tube diameter is uniformly dispersed, and the spiral material has more defect sites, especially the defect sites are increased after N is doped, the sites can promote lithium ions to pass through, and the conductivity is improved without reducing the transmission performance of the lithium ions. The lithium-philic material is of a spiral nanotube structure, a composite negative electrode layer structure is formed after the surface of a basic negative electrode plate is compounded, transition metal is positioned at a nanotube port on one hand for forming a core for carbon nanotube growth, and on the other hand, when a battery is charged, uniformly distributed transition metal can not only induce the deintercalation of lithium ions, but also enable the uniform intercalation of lithium ions to avoid the formation of local lithium dendrites; the composite material is used as an interface layer of the composite anode layer, the high porosity promotes lithium ion transmission, the dense nano tube has high stability, the interface layer can further prevent lithium dendrites from penetrating through a diaphragm, and the safety performance of the battery is improved.

The transition metal is positioned at the port of the nano tube for forming the core for the growth of the carbon nano tube on one hand, and on the other hand, when the battery is charged, the uniformly distributed transition metal can not only induce the deintercalation of lithium in the anode, but also disperse lithium ions which do not enter the anode layer so as to avoid local lithium aggregation; the carbon nano tube material is used as an interface layer, the high porosity promotes lithium ion transmission, the dense nano tube has high stability, the interface layer can further prevent lithium dendrite from penetrating through a diaphragm, and the safety performance of the battery is improved. Therefore, the invention of example 1-example 7 has better electrical performance. In addition, the morphological characteristics of the carbon nano tube also increase the active site and the specific surface area of the carbon nano tube, and are beneficial to improving the liquid absorption rate of the carbon nano tube material to the electrolyte, so that the wettability of the cathode is beneficial to improving, the multiplying power performance and the cycle performance of the battery are further improved, the side reaction of the cathode material and the electrolyte is inhibited, the gas production is reduced, and the safety performance of the battery is improved. In comparative example 1, since the transition metal salt was not added (as in fig. 4-1 μm sem), nucleation sites could not be formed at the ports, and thus, carbon nanotubes could not be formed finally, and the battery performance was greatly reduced. Comparison of example 1, example 3 and example 6 shows that the effect of the interface layer on the battery performance on which side of the basic negative electrode sheet is not much different when single-sided coating is performed, and the battery performance is better when double-sided simultaneous coating is performed than when single-sided coating is performed. Further comparing example 1 with example 7, an excessively thick interfacial layer increases the distance of the ion transport path, increasing the impedance of the lithium battery, resulting in more irreversible capacity loss, and thus the solution of example 7 results in a small amount of lithium evolution from the final pole piece.
In the method of the invention, electrophilic reagent solution and protonic acid solution are further added, and the mixed treatment of electrophilic reagent solution and protonic acid is found, so that on one hand, irregular annular fragments such as particles, chain, five-membered or seven-membered rings and the like which are not completely formed into tubes can further promote the carbon nano tube to form a bending shape with a certain helicity through the rupture and recombination of chemical bonds, and even form a stable helicity with different degrees; on the other hand, the defect sites in the carbon nano tube can be filled by fragments, and the originally separated tubes are promoted to be combined together by the metal complexing effect, so that the tubes are prolonged, the appearance is more dense and uniform, and the carbon nano tube is crosslinked to form a stable structure by the multiple bond energy comprehensive coordination effect, as shown in figure 3. Comparative example 1 and comparative example 3, after removal of the electrophile, did not co-act with the protonic acid, and were disadvantageous in that long spiral nanotubes were formed to precipitate lithium from the negative electrode, and battery performance was degraded.
We also add a nitrogen source during the preparation process, although nitrogen is not a necessary condition for the formation of the tube shape, nitrogen doping can increase the active sites, promoting the formation of a more dense tube shape. We verify the findings by comparing example 1-example 7 with comparative example 2. The batteries of examples 1 to 7 are superior to comparative example 2 in both rate performance and cycle performance, particularly in long cycle process, and as charge and discharge are continued, the addition of no nitrogen causes instability of nanotubes, and also there is no way to well inhibit the generation of lithium dendrites in the battery.
The fluorine source is added in the preparation process, and although fluorine is not a necessary condition for forming the tube shape, the fluorine has strong polarity, and is easy to form a matched bond with transition metal, so that active sites are further increased, more dense tube shapes are promoted to be formed, and meanwhile, the polarization of the battery and the internal resistance of the battery can be reduced. Comparison of example 1 and example 2 shows that the rate performance and the cycle performance of the battery of example 2 are better than those of example 1, and the addition of fluorine is proved to actually further improve the battery performance.
Finally, the formation of carbon nanotubes was not separated from the sintering process, and we found that the electrical properties of the cells of examples 1-7 were better than that of comparative example 4 by comparing examples 1-7 with comparative example 4. It is believed that when the temperature is greater than 800 c, most of the metal ions do not remain coordinated with the original nanotube structure, the metal-nitrogen bonds are broken, more fragments are formed, and a tubular structure is not easily formed, resulting in a decrease in performance.
In summary, the carbon nanotubes with certain helicity and bending or high helicity are used in the negative electrode interface layer of the battery, so that not only can the electrical performance of the battery be improved, but also the generation of lithium dendrite of the battery can be reduced.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, and any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
