技术领域
本申请属于负极材料技术领域,特别涉及一种负极材料及其制备方法、负极极片、电池及用电设备。

石墨化是负极材料生产中的重要环节,现有的石墨化工艺一般在间歇式石墨炉中进行,间歇式石墨炉在物料装炉后不移动,经过升温、石墨化、降温等过程后断电出炉,间歇式石墨炉的石墨化周期较长,成本高,同时,作业过程中产生的粉尘及高温下的烟气排放等容易造成环境污染。
连续式高温炉生产周期短,可以节约生产成本,但是现有的连续式高温炉通常多用于生产增碳剂等对碳量、石墨化度要求较低的碳/石墨产品,其对物料状态及颗粒大小有较高要求,无法实现对粉料的加工,另一方面,目前,现有技术的连续式高温炉没有对应配套的石墨制备工艺,无法满足石墨负极行业的性能要求。因此,目前急需一种可以对粉体材料进行加工的连续石墨化制备工艺及石墨化度高的负极材料。

附图说明
为了更清楚的说明本申请实施例或现有技术的技术方案,下面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单的介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本申请的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

图2为本申请实施例1提供的负极材料的SEM图;
图3为本申请实施例1提供的负极材料制成扣式电池的首次充放电曲线图。
具体实施方式
1为了更好的理解本申请的技术方案,下面结合附图对本申请实施例进行详细描述。
应当明确,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请中,关于“和/或”的描述,如“特征1和/或特征2”,均是指可以单独地为“特征1”、单独地为“特征2”、“特征1”加“特征2”,该三种情况。
此外,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种负极材料的制备方法,如图1所示,为本实施例负极材料制备方法的流程图,包括以下步骤:
步骤S100、将粉体原料进行成型处理得到前驱体;
步骤S200、将前驱体连续加料至石墨化设备的入口,前驱体自该入口向靠近高温区的方向运动,依次经历预热处理和石墨化处理,之后从石墨化设备的出口连续排出,得到负极材料。
成型处理是指将粉体原料进行挤压成型,使得多个颗粒挤压在一起,形成粒径和单颗质量比粉体原料更大的块状。本申请中,块状表示粉体原料挤压在一起形成的非粉体形态,其用于和粉体的粒径和单颗质量进行区分,但是对形状不产生限定,该块体的形状可以是球状、椭球状、棒状、片状等规则形状或者其他不规则形状。
前驱体自石墨化设备入口向靠近高温区的方向运动的过程中,前驱体在到达高温区之前的运动阶段经历该预热处理,前驱体在高温区内的运动阶段经历石墨化处理。前驱体在高温区内经历石墨化处理后,可被粉碎复原为粉体形态。
连续加料是指在每一个生产周期内,从开始加料到结束加料,整个过程中连续不间断地进行加料。
连续排出是指在每一个生产周期内,从开始排料到结束排料,整个过程中连续不间断地进行排料。
由于在石墨化设备中进行连续化生产的过程中,石墨化设备内部是填充有物料的状态,因 此,从石墨化设备入口连续进料,此时石墨化设备内部的前驱体会自石墨化设备入口向靠近石墨化设备高温区的方向连续运动,同时经过高温区石墨化处理后粉碎复原粉末形态的物料会从石墨化设备的出口连续排出。在控制连续进料的下料速度不变的情况下,在石墨化设备中,每一时刻的物料会重复上一时刻的物料的轨迹,因此使得不同时刻进料的所有前驱体进行石墨化处理的温度及时间均相同。
本申请通过对粉体原料进行成型处理得到前驱体,再将前驱体进入石墨化设备进行石墨化处理并连续的排出得到负极材料,本申请的制备方法使得材料的形状能够进行粉-块状-粉的转变,本申请采用石墨化处理后可粉碎复原的方式使得负极材料的形态复原,解决了传统立式石墨炉无法对粉体原料进行连续石墨化生产的问题。此外,本申请采用前驱体连续进入及排出石墨化设备的方式,使得所有前驱体进行石墨化处理的温度及时间均相同,不存在温度梯度所造成的物料受热不均匀的问题,大大降低了负极材料的生产周期及成本。
以下结合实施例具体介绍本申请的制备方法:
步骤S100、将粉体原料进行成型处理得到前驱体。
在一些实施方式中,粉体原料包括焦类粉料和/或石墨,可以理解的,粉体原料可以是单一的焦类粉料或石墨,还可以是焦类粉料和石墨的混合。
在一些实施方式中,焦类粉料包括石油焦、沥青焦、针状焦、生焦、半煅焦和煅后焦中的至少一种。

在一些实施方式中,成型处理的保压时间为10s~60s,成型处理的保压时间具体可以为10s、20s、30s、40s、50s和60s等,当然也可以是上述范围内的其他值,在此不做限定。
本申请对粉体原料进行成型处理的压力和保压时间控制在上述范围内,有利于进行连续石墨化的过程生产;同时,有利于后续成型物料的形态的复原,形成最终的粉体材料。
在一些实施方式中,前驱体的平均粒径为5mm~100mm,具体平均粒径可以是5mm、10mm、15mm、20mm、30mm、40mm、50mm、60mm、70mm、80mm、90mm和100mm等,当然也可以是上述范围内的其他值,在此不做限定。
平均粒径是指,对于一个由大小和形状不相同的粒子组成的实际粒子群,与一个由均一的球形粒子组成的假想粒子群相比,如果两者的粒径全长相同,则称此球形粒子的直径为实际粒子群的平均粒径。
在一些实施方式中,前驱体的体积密度为0.8g/cc~1.2g/cc,具体体积密度可以是0.8g/cc、0.85g/cc、0.9g/cc、0.95g/cc、1.0g/cc、1.05g/cc、1.1g/cc、1.15g/cc和1.2g/cc等,当然也可以是上述范围内的其他值,在此不做限定。
在一些实施方式中,粉体原料的粉体振实密度为T1,前驱体的粉体振实密度为T2,其中,T1-T2≤0.03g/cc,具体地,粉体原料的振实密度T1和前驱体材料的粉体振实密度T2差值可以是0.01g/cc、0.02g/cc和0.03g/cc等,当然也可以是上述范围内的其他值,在此不做限定。在上述范围内,前驱体材料与原料粉体的振实密度差距不大,说明成型处理后的前驱体具有可复原性,即成型处理后的前驱体经粉碎后可复原成粉体,成型处理对粉体原料的粉体形态不构成破坏。
在成型处理之前还包括将粉体原料与粘合剂和溶剂混合的步骤。
可以理解地,在成型处理之前加入粘合剂,使得成型后的颗粒之间通过粘合剂形成二次颗粒,成型处理后形成的二次颗粒之间粘结强度大、密度高。
在一些实施方式中,粘合剂在石墨化处理后转化为炭和石墨类物质中的至少一种。作为示例,粘合剂在石墨化处理后基本完全转化,例如90%以上、95%以上或者99%以上的粘合剂完成转化。可以理解的是,粘合剂可以在石墨化处理刚开始时就开始转化,也可以在石墨化处理中途开始转化。另外,粘合剂可以在石墨化处理中途就基本转化完全,也可以在石墨化处理结束时才基本转化完全。
示例性地,粘合剂包括重油、矿物质油、煤焦油、沥青、石油树脂、酚醛树脂、环氧树脂、古玛隆树脂、土豆淀粉、小麦淀粉、玉米淀粉、红薯淀粉、葛粉和木薯粉中的至少一种,本申请选择的粘合剂,在石墨化处理的高温下可以转化为炭或者石墨类物质,不会对最终产品造成污染。

实施例1~29及对比例1~3的测试数据入下表1所示:
表1.实施例1~29及对比例1~3的测试数据

Figure PCTCN2022130296-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2022130296-appb-000003
通过表1可以看出,本申请实施例1~29制备的负极材料,粉体原料的粉体振实密度T1和前驱体粉体振实密度T2差异不大,说明本申请成型处理后的前驱体具有可复原性,且本申请的制备方法对材料的粉体形态不构成破坏。具体地,本申请通过对粉体原料进行液相包覆并进行成型处理,将粉料转化为颗粒或块状再进行预炭化处理,从而达到管道输送物料的目的,粘合剂经预炭化后可在颗粒之间形成架桥,达到对其进行二次造粒的作用,最后在2800℃~3500℃经连续石墨化处理后得到的物料颗粒形貌好,振实密度高,加工性能优异。由于本申请中石墨化加工过程为连续式作业,所有物料通过高温区的温度及时间均相同一致,不存在受热不均或温度梯度问题,使得制备的负极材料具备产品一致性好、容量高、纯度高和成本低的优点,可满足于高端动力或3C类锂电池产品需求。
在实施例6~9中,石墨化温度过低(实施例6),导致负极材料的石墨化度和容量性能较差,晶向指数OI值较大,材料的各项同性性能差,且负极材料的振实密度和粉体压实密度也出现一定的下降。
在实施例10~13制备的负极材料中,石墨化处理的时间过短(实施例10),导致材料的石墨化度和容量性能较差,晶向指数OI值较大,材料的各项同性性能较差,且负极材料的振实密度和粉体压实密度也出现一定的下降。石墨化处理的时间过长(实施例13),材料的振实密度、粉体压实密度、石墨化度、容量性能和晶向指数等性能指标不再有效提升甚至出现下降。
在实施例14~19制备的负极材料中,成型处理压力太小(实施例14),导致粒块的强度降低,导致负极材料的首次效率和石墨化度略差;成型压力太大(实施例19),导致负极材料体积密度过高,比表面积较小,不利于负极材料粉末形态的复原,且负极材料的振实密度也出现一定的下降。
在实施例20~23制备的负极材料中,粉体原料和溶剂二者各自和粘合剂的质量比均太小(实施例20),比表面积较小,不利于负极材料粉末形态的复原,且晶向指数较大;粉体原料和溶剂二者各自和粘合剂的质量比均太大(实施例23),比表面积较小,不利于负极材料粉末形态的复原,且晶向指数较大。
在实施例24制备的负极材料中,不添加粘合剂和溶剂,直接采用石油焦原料进行成型处理,导致负极材料的比表面积较小,不利于负极材料粉末形态的复原;且晶向指数较大,材料的各项同性性能差。
在实施例25~28制备的负极材料中,粉体原料的D50太小(实施例25),导致材料的容量性能较差,晶向指数较大,且负极材料的振实密度和粉体压实密度也出现一定的下降;粉体原料的D50太大(实施例28),材料的容量性能和晶向指数等性能指标不再有效提升。
本申请所述方法制备的负极材料实施例1~5的振实密度、比表面积、首次可逆容量、石墨化度等指标与对比例1~3的均接近,而本申请实施例1~5的OI值(I 004/I 110)明显较对比例1~3的小,说明本申请的制备方法制备的负极材料取向更优。
对比例2和对比例3未经过石墨化设备内的连续进料、预热和石墨化处理,而是替换为在艾奇逊炉内石墨化后粉碎,其制备的负极材料的OI值(I 004/I 110)明显要高,粉末取向差,不利于锂离子的嵌入和迁移。
以上所述仅为本申请的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本申请,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
本申请虽然以较佳实施例公开如上,但并不是用来限定权利要求,任何本领域技术人员在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,都可以做出若干可能的变动和修改,因此本申请的保护范围应当以本申请权利要求所界定的范围为准。
