Description

鋰離子電池用矽碳複合材料、其製造方法及鋰離子電池用電極Silicon carbon composite material for lithium ion battery, method for producing the same, and electrode for lithium ion battery

本發明係有關於一種鋰離子電池用矽碳複合材料、其製造方法及鋰離子電池用電極,且特別是有關於一種可提升電極電容量及電池循環壽命之鋰離子電池用矽碳複合材料。The present invention relates to a silicon-carbon composite material for lithium ion batteries, a manufacturing method thereof, and an electrode for lithium ion batteries, and in particular, to a silicon-carbon composite material for lithium ion batteries that can improve electrode capacity and battery cycle life.

電池係將化學能或物理能直接變成電能的儲能裝置,且依據放電特性及工作性質,可大致分成一次電池(primary cell)及二次電池(secondary cell)。舉例而言,一次電池包含碳鋅電池、鹼性電池和鋰錳電池,而二次電池包含鋰離子電池、鉛酸電池和鎳氫電池。A battery is an energy storage device that directly converts chemical energy or physical energy into electrical energy, and can be roughly divided into primary cells and secondary cells according to discharge characteristics and working properties. For example, primary batteries include carbon-zinc batteries, alkaline batteries, and lithium-manganese batteries, and secondary batteries include lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries.

就鋰離子電池而言,於充電時(即外加電壓時),鋰離子從正極脫出,並經由電解液傳輸並嵌入負極。此時正極處於貧鋰狀態,負極則處於富鋰狀態。同時電子的補償電荷從正極經由外部迴路流向負極,以確保電荷平衡。於放電時,鋰離子由負極嵌出,經由電解液傳輸並進入正極,電子亦由負極釋出而流向正極。藉由鋰離子於正負兩極間來回地嵌入與嵌出,鋰離子電池進行可逆的電化學氧化還原反應,以反覆地充放電。For lithium-ion batteries, during charging (ie, when a voltage is applied), lithium ions are extracted from the positive electrode, transported through the electrolyte, and intercalated into the negative electrode. At this time, the positive electrode is in a lithium-poor state, and the negative electrode is in a lithium-rich state. At the same time, the compensation charge of the electrons flows from the positive electrode to the negative electrode via the external loop to ensure charge balance. During discharge, lithium ions are intercalated from the negative electrode, transported through the electrolyte and enter the positive electrode, and electrons are also released from the negative electrode and flow to the positive electrode. By intercalating and intercalating lithium ions back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes, the lithium ion battery undergoes a reversible electrochemical redox reaction to repeatedly charge and discharge.

目前,最普遍用於鋰離子電池的負極材料為石墨,且其電容量實測值已接近理論值(372mAh/g)。惟隨著電子產品及電動車之高性能化,鋰離子電池之電容量的要求亦逐漸提高。因此,需要導入電容量更高的負極材料,以提升全電池電容量。更高電容量的負極材料可包含純矽材料。當矽材料形成Li 15Si 4合金相時,理論重量電容量為3580mAh/g,而當其於高溫下形成Li 22Si 5合金相時,理論重量電容量更高達4200mAh/g。 At present, the most commonly used anode material for lithium-ion batteries is graphite, and the measured value of its capacitance is close to the theoretical value (372mAh/g). However, with the high performance of electronic products and electric vehicles, the requirements for the electric capacity of lithium-ion batteries are gradually increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce anode materials with higher electric capacity to improve the electric capacity of the whole battery. Higher capacity anode materials may include pure silicon materials. When the silicon material forms the Li 15 Si 4 alloy phase, the theoretical gravimetric capacitance is 3580mAh/g, and when it forms the Li 22 Si 5 alloy phase at high temperature, the theoretical gravimetric capacitance is even higher than 4200mAh/g.

然而,於充放電過程中,導入矽材料的負極材料具有顯著之體積膨脹效應(例如:體積變化率為280%),而易使矽材料的顆粒粉碎化,進而降低電池的循環壽命,並且在經過500次充放電後,其電容量維持率為小於75%。However, in the process of charging and discharging, the negative electrode material introduced with silicon material has a significant volume expansion effect (for example, the volume change rate is 280%), and the particles of the silicon material are easily pulverized, thereby reducing the cycle life of the battery. After 500 times of charge and discharge, the capacity retention rate is less than 75%.

以下仔細討論本發明實施例之製造和使用。然而,可以理解的是,實施例提供許多可應用的發明概念,其可實施於各式各樣的特定內容中。所討論之特定實施例僅供說明,並非用以限定本發明之範圍。The manufacture and use of embodiments of the present invention are discussed in detail below. It should be appreciated, however, that the embodiments provide many applicable inventive concepts that can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments discussed are provided for illustration only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

本發明之鋰離子電池用矽碳複合負極材料之製造方法係藉由縮小矽顆粒的平均粒徑,以降低矽顆粒與鋰矽合金間的應變差異,進而抑制矽顆粒於充放電過程中粉碎化。其次,矽顆粒之平均粒徑愈小,鋰離子擴散路徑愈短,而電容量的效果愈容易完全地呈現。再者,此製造方法利用碳層包覆技術(即於包覆瀝青之矽顆粒經碳化後,瀝青可形成碳層),以提高材料導電度,並減少矽與電解液直接接觸發生副反應,而產生過多的固態電解質界面層,從而提升電極的電容量且增長電池的循環壽命。The manufacturing method of the silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries of the present invention reduces the strain difference between the silicon particles and the lithium-silicon alloy by reducing the average particle size of the silicon particles, thereby inhibiting the pulverization of the silicon particles during the charging and discharging process. . Secondly, the smaller the average particle size of the silicon particles, the shorter the diffusion path of lithium ions, and the easier and more complete the effect of the capacitance is. Furthermore, this manufacturing method utilizes the carbon layer coating technology (that is, after the silicon particles covering the asphalt are carbonized, the asphalt can form a carbon layer) to improve the conductivity of the material and reduce the side reactions caused by the direct contact between the silicon and the electrolyte. However, excessive solid-state electrolyte interfacial layers are generated, thereby increasing the capacitance of the electrode and prolonging the cycle life of the battery.

請參閱圖1,其係繪示根據本發明之一實施例的鋰離子電池用矽碳複合負極材料之製造方法的流程圖。在此製造方法100中,使用煤焦油系列瀝青對矽顆粒進行包覆步驟,以獲得瀝青包覆顆粒,如操作110所示。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this manufacturing method 100 , the coating step is performed on the silicon particles with coal tar series pitch to obtain the pitch-coated particles, as shown in operation 110 .

本發明之煤焦油系列瀝青可為煉焦的副產品,以提升其再利用性。此煤焦油系列瀝青之軟化溫度為80℃至320℃,且較佳為80℃至100℃。申言之,軟化溫度會影響瀝青的質地及流動性,例如,軟化溫度愈低,瀝青質地愈軟且流動性愈高,故易與矽顆粒混合均勻,而有利於包覆矽顆粒。反之則相反。The coal tar series pitch of the present invention can be a by-product of coking, so as to improve its reusability. The softening temperature of the coal tar series pitch is 80°C to 320°C, and preferably 80°C to 100°C. In other words, the softening temperature will affect the texture and fluidity of asphalt. For example, the lower the softening temperature, the softer the asphalt texture and the higher the fluidity, so it is easy to mix with silicon particles uniformly, which is beneficial to coating silicon particles. The opposite is true.

當煤焦油系列瀝青之軟化溫度小於80℃時,煤焦油系列瀝青含有過多的易氣化的組成分,所以經過後續之碳化步驟後,瀝青所形成之碳層過薄或不均勻,故包覆效果不佳,使矽與電解液產生大量固態電解質界面層,因此電容量衰退。反之,當煤焦油系列瀝青之軟化溫度大於320℃時,煤焦油系列瀝青的流動性較差,而不易均勻地包覆矽顆粒,故包覆效果亦不佳,且同樣存在前述之產生大量固態電解質界面層的問題。When the softening temperature of the coal tar series pitch is less than 80°C, the coal tar series pitch contains too many components that are easy to gasify, so after the subsequent carbonization step, the carbon layer formed by the pitch is too thin or uneven, so the coating The effect is not good, causing a large amount of solid electrolyte interface layer between silicon and electrolyte, so the capacitance declines. On the contrary, when the softening temperature of coal tar series pitch is higher than 320℃, the fluidity of coal tar series pitch is poor, and it is not easy to coat the silicon particles uniformly, so the coating effect is also not good, and there is also a large amount of solid electrolyte as mentioned above. interface layer problems.

在一些實施例中,基於煤焦油系列瀝青之重量為100重量百分比,煤焦油系列瀝青之固定碳比例為50重量百分比至80重量百分比,且較佳為50重量百分比至60重量百分比。當煤焦油系列瀝青之固定碳比例為50重量百分比至80重量百分比時,瀝青經碳化後形成之碳層具有適當的厚度,而可均勻地包覆矽顆粒,以降低體積膨脹效應,從而提升電極的電容量且增長電池的循環壽命。In some embodiments, the fixed carbon ratio of the coal tar series pitch is 50 to 80 wt %, preferably 50 to 60 wt %, based on 100 wt % of the coal tar series pitch. When the fixed carbon ratio of the coal tar series pitch is 50% to 80% by weight, the carbon layer formed by the carbonization of the pitch has an appropriate thickness, and can evenly coat the silicon particles, so as to reduce the volume expansion effect and improve the electrode. capacity and increase the cycle life of the battery.

在一些實施例中,煤焦油系列瀝青與矽顆粒之重量比為0.2:1至1:1,且較佳為0.5:1至0.7:1。當煤焦油系列瀝青與矽顆粒之重量比為前述之範圍時,瀝青可完全且均勻地包覆矽顆粒,且所形成之碳層具有適當的厚度,故可抑制矽與電解液直接接觸發生副反應,從而提升電極的電容量且增長電池的循環壽命。In some embodiments, the weight ratio of coal tar series pitch to silicon particles is 0.2:1 to 1:1, and preferably 0.5:1 to 0.7:1. When the weight ratio of coal tar series pitch and silicon particles is within the aforementioned range, the pitch can completely and uniformly coat the silicon particles, and the formed carbon layer has an appropriate thickness, so the direct contact between the silicon and the electrolyte can be prevented from causing side effects. reaction, thereby increasing the capacitance of the electrode and increasing the cycle life of the battery.

矽顆粒之平均粒徑與矽與鋰矽合金間的應變差異及鋰離子擴散路徑有關。本發明之矽顆粒的平均粒徑為小於50nm,且較佳為小於46nm。當矽顆粒之平均粒徑不小於50nm時,矽與鋰矽合金間的應變差異增大,而導致矽顆粒於充放電過程中容易粉碎,故降低電極的電容量及電池的循環壽命。在其他實施例中,矽顆粒之平均粒徑為大於40nm且小於50nm,其中當矽顆粒之平均粒徑為前述之範圍時,所製得之電池更具有優越的首次充放電電容量及循環充放電電容量維持率。The average particle size of the silicon particles is related to the strain difference between silicon and lithium-silicon alloys and the diffusion paths of lithium ions. The average particle size of the silicon particles of the present invention is less than 50 nm, and preferably less than 46 nm. When the average particle size of the silicon particles is not less than 50 nm, the strain difference between silicon and lithium-silicon alloys increases, and the silicon particles are easily crushed during the charging and discharging process, thus reducing the capacitance of the electrode and the cycle life of the battery. In other embodiments, the average particle size of the silicon particles is greater than 40 nm and less than 50 nm, and when the average particle size of the silicon particles is within the aforementioned range, the prepared battery has superior initial charge-discharge capacity and cycle charge. Discharge capacity retention rate.

請再參閱圖1,於操作110後,對瀝青包覆顆粒進行碳化步驟,以獲得矽碳複合顆粒,如操作120所示。此碳化步驟係於高溫下碳化瀝青包覆顆粒中之瀝青,以在矽顆粒之外表面形成碳層。Referring to FIG. 1 again, after operation 110 , a carbonization step is performed on the asphalt-coated particles to obtain silicon-carbon composite particles, as shown in operation 120 . This carbonization step is to carbonize the pitch in the pitch-coated particles at high temperature to form a carbon layer on the outer surface of the silicon particles.

在一些實施例中,碳化溫度可為700℃至1100℃,且較佳可為900℃至950℃。碳化步驟可於惰性氣體之環境下進行,以避免矽顆粒發生氧化現象,藉此保留原本矽材料之高電容量特性。舉例而言,惰性氣體可包含但不限於氮氣、氬氣、氦氣及其任意組合。In some embodiments, the carbonization temperature may be 700°C to 1100°C, and preferably 900°C to 950°C. The carbonization step can be performed in an inert gas environment to avoid oxidation of the silicon particles, thereby retaining the high capacitance characteristics of the original silicon material. For example, inert gases may include, but are not limited to, nitrogen, argon, helium, and any combination thereof.

當碳化溫度為700℃至1100℃時,碳化效果較完全,而不殘留未碳化的瀝青,從而提升電極的導電性,並且所製得之矽碳複合材料具有較佳的電化學活性,以利於與鋰離子進行反應,故可提升電極的電容量且增長電池的循環壽命。When the carbonization temperature is 700°C to 1100°C, the carbonization effect is more complete, and no uncarbonized pitch remains, thereby improving the conductivity of the electrode, and the obtained silicon-carbon composite material has better electrochemical activity, which is beneficial to It reacts with lithium ions, so it can increase the electric capacity of the electrode and prolong the cycle life of the battery.

於操作120後,對矽碳複合顆粒進行破碎步驟,以製得鋰離子電池用矽碳複合材料,如操作130所示。此破碎步驟係用以破碎矽碳複合顆粒,以使其成為具有特定平均粒徑(D 50)的顆粒(即鋰離子電池用矽碳複合材料)。舉例而言,但不以此為限,此特定平均粒徑可為4μm至8μm。 After operation 120 , a crushing step is performed on the silicon-carbon composite particles to prepare a silicon-carbon composite material for lithium ion batteries, as shown in operation 130 . The crushing step is used for crushing the silicon-carbon composite particles to make them into particles with a specific average particle size (D 50 ) (ie, a silicon-carbon composite material for lithium ion batteries). For example, but not limited thereto, the specific average particle size may be 4 μm to 8 μm.

在一些實施例中,破碎步驟可藉由但不限於機械式粉碎設備來進行,例如,振動式研磨機、衝擊式粉碎機、旋轉筒式球磨機或具有通常知識者慣用之設備等。In some embodiments, the crushing step may be performed by, but not limited to, mechanical crushing equipment, such as, for example, a vibratory mill, an impact mill, a rotating drum ball mill, or equipment commonly used by those of ordinary skill.

請再參閱圖1,在進行操作110(即包覆步驟)前,製造方法100可選擇性包含進行研磨步驟,其中研磨步驟包含使用溶劑對矽微粒進行研磨,以獲得平均粒徑小於50nm之矽顆粒。在一些實施例中,矽微粒的來源(即矽材料)可為但不限於矽晶圓切削廢料,以達到廢物利用之環保目的。Please refer to FIG. 1 again, before performing the operation 110 (ie, the coating step), the manufacturing method 100 may optionally include a grinding step, wherein the grinding step includes grinding silicon particles with a solvent to obtain silicon with an average particle size of less than 50 nm particles. In some embodiments, the source of silicon particles (ie, silicon material) may be, but not limited to, silicon wafer cutting waste, so as to achieve the environmental protection purpose of waste utilization.

在一些實施例中,研磨步驟可採用乾式或濕式研磨,且較佳為濕式研磨。此濕式研磨係利用研磨液來進行,其中研磨液可包含溶劑及分散劑等助劑。In some embodiments, the grinding step may use dry or wet grinding, and preferably wet grinding. This wet grinding is carried out using a polishing liquid, wherein the polishing liquid may contain auxiliary agents such as a solvent and a dispersant.

此濕式研磨所使用的溶劑之沸點為80℃至300℃,且較佳為210℃至250℃。當溶劑之沸點為80℃至300℃時,此溶劑可於整個研磨過程中保持液態,而不汽化,以幫助研磨矽微粒,從而獲得平均粒徑小於50nm之矽顆粒。較佳地,此溶劑對於瀝青具有良好的相容性,以便於在不除去溶劑的情況下,於研磨後可直接進行後續之包覆步驟。此外,溶劑之具體例可包含但不限於具有芳香環結構之有機溶劑。The boiling point of the solvent used in this wet grinding is 80°C to 300°C, and preferably 210°C to 250°C. When the boiling point of the solvent is 80°C to 300°C, the solvent can remain liquid during the entire grinding process without vaporizing, so as to help grind the silicon particles, thereby obtaining silicon particles with an average particle size of less than 50 nm. Preferably, the solvent has good compatibility with the bitumen, so that the subsequent coating step can be carried out directly after grinding without removing the solvent. In addition, specific examples of the solvent may include, but are not limited to, organic solvents having an aromatic ring structure.

在另一些實施例中,前述之分散劑係利用自身化學結構的立體效應,幫助矽顆粒分散於前述溶劑中,並避免矽顆粒聚集,以利於矽顆粒的奈米化。分散劑之具體例可包含但不限於含有丙烯酸或丙烯酸鹽的單體單元之均聚物或共聚物。In other embodiments, the aforementioned dispersant utilizes the steric effect of its own chemical structure to help the silicon particles to disperse in the aforementioned solvent, and to prevent the silicon particles from agglomerating, so as to facilitate the nanoization of the silicon particles. Specific examples of dispersants may include, but are not limited to, homopolymers or copolymers containing monomeric units of acrylic acid or acrylate.

在一些實施例中,基於研磨液的重量為100重量百分比,矽顆粒的使用量為10重量百分比。當矽顆粒的使用量為10重量百分比時,所製得之矽顆粒的平均粒徑可小於50nm,以抑制矽顆粒於充放電過程中粉碎化並縮短鋰離子擴散路徑,從而提升電極的電容量及電池的循環壽命。In some embodiments, the amount of silicon particles used is 10 weight percent based on 100 weight percent of the slurry. When the amount of silicon particles used is 10% by weight, the average particle size of the prepared silicon particles can be less than 50 nm, which can inhibit the pulverization of silicon particles during the charging and discharging process and shorten the diffusion path of lithium ions, thereby improving the capacitance of the electrode. and battery cycle life.

此外,在一些實施例中,研磨步驟可包含複數個研磨階段。舉例而言,可先使用較大顆的研磨珠,進行第一研磨階段,再使用較小顆的研磨珠,進行第二研磨階段。惟,本發明不以前述條件為限制,而以達到前述之矽顆粒的平均粒徑小於50nm為必要的目的。此外,此研磨珠的具體例包含釔穩定氧化鋯珠。Furthermore, in some embodiments, the grinding step may comprise a plurality of grinding stages. For example, the first grinding stage may be performed using larger-sized grinding beads, and then the second grinding stage may be performed using smaller-sized grinding beads. However, the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned conditions, and it is a necessary objective to achieve the aforementioned average particle size of the silicon particles less than 50 nm. In addition, specific examples of the grinding beads include yttrium-stabilized zirconia beads.

在一些應用例中,前述鋰離子電池用矽碳複合材料之製造方法可製得本發明之鋰離子電池用矽碳複合材料。基於此矽碳複合材料之重量為100重量百分比,矽的含量為50重量百分比至80重量百分比,且較佳為70重量百分比至80重量百分比。由於矽材料較碳材料具有更高的電容量,所以矽碳複合材料中的矽的含量會影響電極的電容量。In some application examples, the silicon-carbon composite material for lithium-ion batteries of the present invention can be obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method of the silicon-carbon composite material for lithium-ion batteries. Based on the weight of the silicon-carbon composite material being 100% by weight, the content of silicon is 50% by weight to 80% by weight, and preferably 70% by weight to 80% by weight. Since silicon material has higher capacitance than carbon material, the content of silicon in the silicon-carbon composite material will affect the capacitance of the electrode.
