When the mass percentage of carbon in the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material is too low, for example, less than 2%, the Si-C bonds formed inside the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material particles and the Si-O-C bonds formed on the surface of the particles are less, and the growth of silicon grains during the cycle cannot be effectively restricted. The stability of the particle surface is not significantly improved, and the particles are easily pulverized during the charge and discharge cycle, which affects the expansion performance of the particles and the conductivity of the negative electrode. When the mass percentage of carbon in the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material is too high, for example, higher than 10%, it will affect the gram capacity and first coulomb efficiency of the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material, and thus affect the energy density of the electrochemical device.

通常情况下,可以通过改变热处理的温度、升温速率和保温时间来调控碳掺杂硅氧复合材料中碳元素、硅元素和氧元素的质量百分含量。例如,提高热处理温度,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料中碳元素的质量百分含量升高,硅元素的质量百分含量升高,氧元素的质量百分含量降低;降低热处理温度,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料中碳元素的质量百分含量降低,硅元素的质量百分含量降低,氧元素的质量百分含量升高。提高升温速率,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料中碳元素的质量百分含量降低,硅元素的质量百分含量降低,氧元素的质量百分含量升高;降低升温速率,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料中碳元素的质量百分含量升高,硅元素的质量百分含量升高,氧元素的质量百分含量降低。延长热处理的保温时间,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料中碳元素的质量百分含量升高,硅元素的质量百分含量升高,氧元素的质量百分含量降低;缩短热处理的保温时间,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料中碳元素的质量百分含量降低,硅元素的质量百分含量降低,氧元素的质量百分含量升高。Generally, the mass percentage of carbon, silicon and oxygen in carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite materials can be controlled by changing the temperature, heating rate and holding time of heat treatment. For example, by increasing the heat treatment temperature, the mass percentage of carbon in carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite materials increases, the mass percentage of silicon increases, and the mass percentage of oxygen decreases; by reducing the heat treatment temperature, the mass percentage of carbon in carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite materials decreases, the mass percentage of silicon decreases, and the mass percentage of oxygen increases. By increasing the heating rate, the mass percentage of carbon in carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite materials decreases, the mass percentage of silicon decreases, and the mass percentage of oxygen increases; by reducing the heating rate, the mass percentage of carbon in carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite materials increases, the mass percentage of silicon increases, and the mass percentage of oxygen decreases. By extending the holding time of the heat treatment, the mass percentage of carbon element in the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material increases, the mass percentage of silicon element increases, and the mass percentage of oxygen element decreases; by shortening the holding time of the heat treatment, the mass percentage of carbon element in the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material decreases, the mass percentage of silicon element decreases, and the mass percentage of oxygen element increases.
改变热处理的温度、升温速率和保温时间还可以调控表面区域中碳元素、硅元素和氧元素的质量百分含量。例如,提高热处理温度,表面区域中碳元素的质量百分含量升高,硅元素的质量百分含量升高,氧元素的质量百分含量降低;降低热处理温度,表面区域中碳元素的质量百分含量降低,硅元素的质量百分含量降低,氧元素的质量百分含量升高。提高升温速率,表面区域中碳元素的质量百分含量降低,硅元素的质量百分含量降低,氧 元素的质量百分含量升高;降低升温速率,表面区域中碳元素的质量百分含量升高,硅元素的质量百分含量升高,氧元素的质量百分含量降低。延长热处理的保温时间,表面区域中碳元素的质量百分含量升高,硅元素的质量百分含量升高,氧元素的质量百分含量降低;缩短热处理的保温时间,表面区域中碳元素的质量百分含量降低,硅元素的质量百分含量降低,氧元素的质量百分含量升高。Changing the temperature, heating rate and holding time of the heat treatment can also regulate the mass percentage of carbon, silicon and oxygen in the surface area. For example, increasing the heat treatment temperature increases the mass percentage of carbon in the surface area, increases the mass percentage of silicon, and decreases the mass percentage of oxygen; decreasing the heat treatment temperature decreases the mass percentage of carbon in the surface area, decreases the mass percentage of silicon, and increases the mass percentage of oxygen. Increasing the heating rate decreases the mass percentage of carbon in the surface area, decreases the mass percentage of silicon, and increases the mass percentage of oxygen; decreasing the heating rate increases the mass percentage of carbon in the surface area, increases the mass percentage of silicon, and decreases the mass percentage of oxygen. Prolonging the holding time of the heat treatment increases the mass percentage of carbon in the surface area, increases the mass percentage of silicon, and decreases the mass percentage of oxygen; shortening the holding time of the heat treatment decreases the mass percentage of carbon in the surface area, decreases the mass percentage of silicon, and increases the mass percentage of oxygen.
改变热处理的温度、升温速率和保温保温时间还可以调控碳掺杂硅氧复合材料的粒径分布范围、Dv50和Dv99。例如,提高热处理温度,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料的粒径分布范围变宽,Dv50增大,Dv99增大;降低热处理温度,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料的粒径分布范围变窄,Dv50减小,Dv99减小。提高升温速率,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料的粒径分布范围变窄,Dv50减小,Dv99减小;降低升温速率,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料的粒径分布范围变宽,Dv50增大,Dv99增大。延长热处理的保温时间,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料的粒径分布范围变宽,Dv50增大,Dv99增大;缩短热处理的保温时间,碳掺杂硅氧复合材料的粒径分布范围变窄,Dv50减小,Dv99减小。Changing the temperature, heating rate and heat preservation time of the heat treatment can also regulate the particle size distribution range, Dv50 and Dv99 of the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material. For example, by increasing the heat treatment temperature, the particle size distribution range of the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material becomes wider, Dv50 increases, and Dv99 increases; by reducing the heat treatment temperature, the particle size distribution range of the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material becomes narrower, Dv50 decreases, and Dv99 decreases. By increasing the heating rate, the particle size distribution range of the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material becomes narrower, Dv50 decreases, and Dv99 decreases; by reducing the heating rate, the particle size distribution range of the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material becomes wider, Dv50 increases, and Dv99 increases.

The contents of carbon, silicon, and oxygen in the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen material can be regulated by the mixing ratio of silicon and silicon dioxide and the content of the carbon source gas introduced. For example, the content of silicon increases and the content of oxygen decreases as the mixing ratio of silicon and silicon dioxide increases; the content of silicon decreases and the content of oxygen increases as the mixing ratio of silicon and silicon dioxide decreases; the content of carbon increases as the carbon source gas introduced increases; the content of carbon decreases as the carbon source gas introduced decreases.

It should be noted that the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen material usually contains some impurity elements with a relatively low content (for example, the mass percentage is less than or equal to 0.1%). When calculating the mass percentage of carbon, silicon, and oxygen in the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen material, the present application refers to the total mass obtained after excluding the above-mentioned impurity elements, and then obtaining the mass percentage of carbon, silicon, and oxygen.

The lithium-ion battery obtained in the example has a higher cycle capacity retention rate and a smaller expansion rate, which shows that the use of the negative electrode sheet provided by the present application can effectively improve the cycle performance and expansion performance of the lithium-ion battery. Although the negative active materials in Comparative Examples 1 and 3 have higher gram capacity, the cycle performance and expansion performance of the lithium-ion battery are significantly worse than those in the examples; the gram capacity of the carbon-doped silicon-oxygen composite material in the example is basically equivalent to or higher than that in Comparative Example 2, but the cycle performance and expansion performance of the lithium-ion battery in Comparative Example 2 are also significantly worse than those in the example.
