+Storage lithium platform, the lithium capacity is put in the suction of composite material raising by a relatively large margin.
Fig. 4 is the x-ray diffraction pattern XRD of the silico-carbo composite material of the embodiment of the invention 1 preparation, contrast the standard powder diffraction data PDF card of the international X-ray powder diffraction committee, the diffraction maximum that in the diffraction pattern of composite material, contains carbon PDF card number 41-1487 and silicon PDF card number 27-1402, illustrate that Si-C composite material of the present invention is by carbon and silicon, form.
Carbon phase particle in the above-mentioned matrix is any one or more than one the mixing in natural flake graphite, micro crystal graphite, Delanium, MCMB and the coke, and carbon phase particle accounts for 99~50wt% of described composite particles matrix.Carbon phase particle is mainly as absorbing and the buffer Si bulk effect of particle when lithium is put in suction mutually, and certain embedding lithium capacity is provided.Above-mentioned material is flexible material with carbon element, has preferably elasticity and has higher embedding lithium capacity.When carbon phase particle during less than 50wt%, Si phase particle can not effectively disperse, carbon phase particle absorb and the bulk effect effect of buffering active material Si relatively poor, unfavorable to the cycle performance of material; And when the ratio of carbon phase particle greater than 99% the time, the ratio of active Si reduces, thereby influences the raising of the specific capacity of material.
Above-mentioned composite carbon coating thickness is 0.1~5 μ m, calculates after the particle average grain diameter before and after being coated by the test of Malvern laser particle analyzer.The composite carbon coating layer contains organic substance pyrolytic carbon, conductive carbon, and the ratio of shared negative material is 1~25wt%, and wherein to account for the ratio of coating layer be 0.5~20wt% to the organic substance pyrolytic carbon, and the ratio that conductive carbon accounts for coating layer is 0.5~5wt%.When the composite carbon coating thickness, can not form complete coating layer, thereby influence the cyclical stability of negative material during less than 1wt% less than 0.1 μ m or the ratio that accounts for negative material; And blocked up when coating layer, when for example the ratio that accounts for negative material greater than 5 μ m or coating layer is greater than 25wt%, can influence the specific capacity of negative material and efficient first again, be unfavorable for the raising of the chemical property of negative material equally.
Organic substance pyrolytic carbon in the above-mentioned coating layer is by water miscible polyvinyl alcohol, butadiene-styrene rubber breast, carboxymethyl cellulose, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polytetrafluoroethylene, Kynoar, polyacrylonitrile organic substance, phenolic resins, the epoxy resin of organic solvent system, glucose, sucrose, fructose, cellulose, starch or pitch etc. are presoma, through the formed pyrolytic carbon of high temperature cabonization.This type organic evenly is coated on the composite particles matrix surface as the presoma of later stage pyrolytic carbon or as binding agent, dispersant or the suspending agent of solution system when mixing with the composite particles matrix, and pyrolysis and thermal polycondensation reaction take place in the pyrolysis charring process in later stage.In the high temperature pyrolysis process, the compound that elements such as contained H, O, N are formed in the organic compound is decomposed, and the continuous cyclisation of carbon atom, aromatisation, result are that atoms such as H, O, N constantly reduce, and C constantly concentrates and enrichment.It is soft charcoal that above-mentioned organic substance forms easy graphitized charcoal through the liquid phase carbonization process, and perhaps only through the solid phase carbonization process, forming difficult graphitized charcoal is hard charcoal.This class pyrolytic carbon is ungraphitised carbon, contain the micropore that forms when more micromolecular compound pyrolysis is overflowed in the material, can absorb and cushion the bulk effect of active material in the charge and discharge process better, and the pyrolytic carbon layer spacing helps the embedding of lithium ion more greatly and deviates from.The Turbostratic of pyrolyzed carbon materials also prevented the solvation lithium ion altogether the graphite linings that causes of embedding peel off, improved cyclical stability.Conductive carbon in the coating layer is acetylene black, carbon nano-tube, nano-sized carbon microballoon, carbon fiber or conductive carbon black Super-P.
The composite particles matrix is mixed the method that coats do not limit especially with presoma, the conductive carbon of organic substance pyrolytic carbon, any known mixing granulator equipment all can use.Mixing to coat adopts mixing and ball milling, wet method to stir 1~12h, carry out vapour deposition afterwards and coat granulation, the temperature of vapour deposition and coating granulation is chosen in 100 ℃~400 ℃, when treatment temperature is lower than 100 ℃, powder drying speed is slower, covered effect is relatively poor, is easy to cause inter-adhesive between the particle, influences production efficiency and product quality; When treatment temperature is higher than 400 ℃, can cause coating layer carbonization or oxidation, also can influence covered effect.Subsequently, above-mentioned compound is carried out carbonization treatment, temperature is incubated 1~10 hour at 450 ℃~1500 ℃, reduces to room temperature then.For guaranteeing the coating layer densification, carry out secondary and coat processing, the secondary clad material is a pitch, covering amount is 1~30wt%.Above-mentioned carbonization treatment is carried out in nonoxidizing atmosphere, for example, carries out in mist, vacuum or the reducing atmosphere of nitrogen, argon gas, helium, neon or above-mentioned gas.Carburizing temperature is carried out at 450 ℃~1500 ℃, is incubated 1~10 hour, reduces to room temperature then.
Because composite material surface has coated agraphitic organic substance pyrolytic carbon, its electric conductivity descends, in order to improve the electric conductivity of negative material, guarantee the stable circulation of negative material and giving full play to of specific capacity, the present invention has carried out on the surface of composite material coating or conductive doped carbon is handled, and conductive carbon accounts for 0.5~5wt% of negative material.When the amount of conductive carbon during less than 0.5wt%, can't form continuous conductive network, the electric conductivity of material can not effectively improve; And, can the specific capacity and the efficiency for charge-discharge of material be had a negative impact again when the ratio of conductive carbon during greater than 5wt%.Suitable conduction addition is chosen between 0.5~5wt%.
The Si-C composite material after the mixing coating is handled and the method for coating of conductive carbon are not particularly limited, and any known mixing apparatus all can use, and as homogenizer, planetary stirring machine etc., the mixed processing time is 1~6 hour.For conductive carbon is uniformly dispersed, used the suspension of above-mentioned composite material of ultrasonic Treatment and conductive carbon, ultrasonic treatment time 1 minute~30 minutes, ultrasonic frequency 40kHz~28kHz, ultrasonic power are 50W~3600W.
