Description

一种负极材料及其制备方法与用途A kind of negative electrode material and its preparation method and application 技术领域technical field
本公开涉及锂离子电池技术领域，例如涉及负极材料及其制备方法与用途。The present disclosure relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, for example, to negative electrode materials and their preparation methods and applications.
背景技术Background technique
现随着动力电池能量密度以及其他综合性能要求不断提高，天然石墨和人造石墨负极材料理论容量为372mAh/g,目前已经能做到360mAh/g，再提高负极容量已经比较困难，天然石墨和人造石墨负极材料已经很难满足高能量密度电池的要求。而纳米硅，氧化亚硅虽也具有较高的比容量，纳米硅负极材料理论比容量高达4200mAh/g(Li 4.4Si)，但是在嵌锂过程中体积膨胀高达300％以上，这不仅仅会破坏电极的结构，造成掉料等问题，还会导致Si颗粒表面形成的SEI膜出现裂纹，导致电解液持续的分解。氧化亚硅负极材料膨胀相对硅负极较小，但其首次库伦效率较低，只有75％左右。 With the continuous improvement of the energy density and other comprehensive performance requirements of power batteries, the theoretical capacity of natural graphite and artificial graphite anode materials is 372mAh/g, and it can reach 360mAh/g at present, and it is difficult to increase the capacity of the anode. Graphite anode materials have been difficult to meet the requirements of high energy density batteries. Although nano-silicon and silicon oxide also have a high specific capacity, the theoretical specific capacity of the nano-silicon negative electrode material is as high as 4200mAh/g (Li 4.4 Si), but the volume expansion is as high as 300% during the lithium intercalation process. Destroy the structure of the electrode, cause problems such as material drop, and also cause cracks in the SEI film formed on the surface of the Si particles, resulting in continuous decomposition of the electrolyte. The expansion of silicon oxide negative electrode material is smaller than that of silicon negative electrode, but its first Coulombic efficiency is low, only about 75%.
因此如何得到一种具有高容量、高首效和低膨胀系数等综合性能较优的负极材料，是目前亟待解决的技术问题。Therefore, how to obtain a negative electrode material with better comprehensive properties such as high capacity, high first effect and low expansion coefficient is a technical problem to be solved urgently.

从表1中的实施例1-6的数据结果可知，本公开所提供的负极材料，不仅环境稳定性好，且具有较高的容量和首效，使得本公开提供的电池，充放电可逆容量在1680mAh/g以上，首次库伦效率可达122％以上，且循环50周后其容量保持率在90％以上，当第一碳包覆层和第二碳包覆厚度在一定范围内时，电池的充放电可逆容量在2124mAh/g以上，首次库伦效率可达135.3％以上，且循环50周后其容量保持率在92％以上。From the data results of Examples 1-6 in Table 1, it can be seen that the negative electrode material provided by the present disclosure not only has good environmental stability, but also has high capacity and first effect, so that the battery provided by the present disclosure has a reversible charge-discharge capacity Above 1680mAh/g, the first coulombic efficiency can reach above 122%, and the capacity retention rate after 50 cycles is above 90%. When the thickness of the first carbon coating layer and the second carbon coating layer are within a certain range, the battery The charge-discharge reversible capacity is above 2124mAh/g, the first Coulombic efficiency can reach above 135.3%, and the capacity retention rate after 50 cycles is above 92%.
从实施例1与实施例4和实施例5的数据结果可知，无论是第一碳包覆层还是第二碳包覆层厚度变厚，负极材料的首效都随着包覆厚度的增加而下降明显，但却对其表面钝化效果变好，从材料的循环性能会有所提升。From the data results of Example 1, Example 4 and Example 5, it can be seen that no matter whether the thickness of the first carbon coating layer or the second carbon coating layer becomes thicker, the first effect of the negative electrode material increases with the increase of the coating thickness. The decline is obvious, but the passivation effect on the surface becomes better, and the cycle performance of the material will be improved.
从实施例1与实施例6的数据结果可知，当真空热处理温度升到750℃时，得到的锂硅合金材料容量，首效以及循环性能变化都不大，说明当达到预锂反应温度时，再提高反应温度对材料的性能影响不大，徒增加能源的消耗。From the data results of Example 1 and Example 6, it can be seen that when the vacuum heat treatment temperature rises to 750°C, the obtained lithium-silicon alloy material capacity, first effect and cycle performance have little change, indicating that when the pre-lithium reaction temperature is reached, Increasing the reaction temperature has little effect on the performance of the material, but only increases energy consumption.
从实施例1与对比例1的数据结果可知，制备得到锂硅合金内核后，不进行二次碳包覆，材料表面的钝化保护效果明显不如实施例1，导致材料的循环性能衰退明显。From the data results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that after the lithium-silicon alloy core is prepared, without secondary carbon coating, the passivation protection effect of the material surface is obviously not as good as that of Example 1, resulting in a significant decline in the cycle performance of the material.
从实施例1-6与对比例2的数据结果可知，氧化亚硅预锂后的容量与硅预锂的容量和首效下降明显，这是因为氧化亚硅中的氧与锂发生反应生成了硅酸锂， 为非活性物质。但同时由于硅酸锂的存在使得循环性能提升。From the data results of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 2, it can be known that the capacity and the first effect of silicon oxide pre-lithium after the silicon oxide pre-lithium decrease significantly, and this is because the oxygen in the silicon oxide reacts with lithium to generate Lithium silicate is an inactive substance. But at the same time, the cycle performance is improved due to the presence of lithium silicate.
综上，本公开所提供的负极材料，最外层的第二碳包覆层形成了一层致密的钝化层，提高了内核中非晶态锂硅合金的稳定性，使其在干燥空气中性能几乎不发生衰减，内核表面的第一碳包覆层先包覆于纳米硅表面，然后锂金属通过碳包覆层的空隙处进入，形成非晶态锂硅合金，且锂硅合金作为内核，既有较高的可逆比容量，又有很高的首次库伦效率，使得最终得到的负极材料膨胀系数低，环境稳定好，提升了电池的容量和首效。In summary, in the negative electrode material provided by the present disclosure, the second carbon coating layer on the outermost layer forms a dense passivation layer, which improves the stability of the amorphous lithium-silicon alloy in the inner core, making it stable in dry air. There is almost no attenuation in the medium performance. The first carbon coating layer on the surface of the core is first coated on the nano-silicon surface, and then lithium metal enters through the gaps in the carbon coating layer to form an amorphous lithium-silicon alloy, and the lithium-silicon alloy acts as The core has both high reversible specific capacity and high initial Coulombic efficiency, which makes the final negative electrode material have a low expansion coefficient and a stable environment, which improves the capacity and first effect of the battery.
