目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源***,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
本发明人注意到,硅负极材料的能量密度较高,可达到4200mAh/g,且硅负极材料还具有嵌锂电位低及来源广泛等优势,有望成为下一代负极材料。然而,硅负极材料在实际充放电时存在剧烈的体积膨胀,一定次数循环后极片发生粉化和剥落,电池性能因此发生跳水。
为了缓解硅负极材料的膨胀问题,申请人研究发现,可以从两个方面进行改进,一方面是实现硅的纳米化,纳米硅颗粒具有更小的应力应变,但是纳米硅颗粒存在制备、分散和表面活性高等方面的问题,加工难度大;另一方面是与碳基体复合,如采用石墨、硬炭、石墨烯或碳纳米管等对硅进行隔离、包覆或者为活性硅预留膨胀空间,硅通过复合碳基体加强结构稳定性,常见的复合 方法包括液相包覆(沥青、树脂等)和气相包覆(乙炔及各类烷烃),形成的碳层均属于刚性碳结构,该类结构承受应力超出阈值时易发生破裂,在收缩过程中又不具备弹性而坍塌,应力范围极为有限。
基于以上考虑,为了缓解硅负极材料的膨胀并增加硅负极材料的收缩性,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种硅碳复合材料,硅材料至少部分分布于具有交联型孔结构的碳基体中,C1为硅碳复合材料的反弹形变量对压缩形变量的倍数,用于表示硅碳复合材料的柔性度。当C1值满足0.4≤C1≤2时,硅碳复合材料具有较好的柔性度,一方面可以减少硅碳复合材料整体受硅膨胀应力的影响,另一方面碳基体框架具有一定的收缩性,可进一步容纳和释放残余应力,从而维护硅碳复合材料整体的稳定性。
