A kind of preparation method of lithium cell cathode material and application
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method and application thereof of cathode of lithium battery composite material, belong to electrochemical field.
Background technology
Lithium battery is that a class is negative material, the battery that uses non-aqueous electrolytic solution by lithium metal or lithium alloy.The lithium battery occurred the earliest comes from great inventor Edison, uses following reaction: Li+MnO2=LiMnO2 should react for redox reaction, electric discharge.Because the chemical characteristic of lithium metal is very active, make processing, preservation, the use of lithium metal, very high to environmental requirement.At present, growing along with mobile electronic equipment to high power capacity, long-life batteries demand, people have higher requirement to the performance of lithium ion battery.Because the chemical characteristic of lithium metal is very active, make processing, preservation, the use of lithium metal, very high to environmental requirement, so lithium battery production will be carried out under special environmental condition.The lithium battery major advantage: energy Ratios is higher, has reached at present 460-600Wh/kg, is approximately 6-7 times of lead-acid battery; Long service life, can reach more than 6 years useful life; Rated voltage high (the monomer operating voltage is 3.7V or 3.2V), approximate the series voltage of 3 NI-Gs or nickel-hydrogen chargeable cell, is convenient to form the battery supply group; Possess high power and bear pressure, wherein the ferrous phosphate lithium ion battery of used for electric vehicle can reach the ability that 15-30C discharges and recharges, and is convenient to high-intensity Acceleration of starting; Self-discharge rate is very low, and this is one of the most outstanding superiority of this battery, generally can accomplish at present below 1%/moon, less than 1/20 of Ni-MH battery; Environmental protection, no matter produce, use and scrap, do not contain, do not produce yet poisonous and harmful heavy metallic element and the materials such as any lead, mercury, cadmium.Due to the lot of advantages of lithium battery, lithium battery is widely used on electronic instrument, number and household appliances.
But capacity of lithium ion battery is on the low side has become a bottleneck of restriction battery industry development, find the more positive electrode of height ratio capacity and the developing direction that negative material has become the battery material field.Since early 1990s, Sony Corporation released business-like lithium ion battery, the specific capacity of positive electrode is always relatively on the low side, and this problem does not have large breakthrough all the time, and its research focus is to find new positive electrode system, reduce the cost of positive electrode, improve the security performance of positive electrode.Current business-like negative material is carbon, and since the lithium ion battery commercialization, the research of material with carbon element has obtained significant progress, and actual specific capacity improves very fast, has approached the theoretical value of 372mAhPg, is difficult to have the space of lifting again.Finding the negative material that substitutes carbon becomes an important developing direction, and the material theoretical specific capacity higher with it such as Si, Sn, Al, Sb are subject to attracting attention of lithium ion battery material circle.
Silicon has lot of advantages, and on the earth, reserves are abundant, cost is lower, environmental sound.Silicon and lithium can form alloy, have 4 kinds of phase: Li12Si7, Li13 Si4, Li7 Si3 and Li22 Si5.Silicon has higher theoretical specific capacity (Li22 Si5:4200mAhPg) and lower embedding lithium current potential (vsLi+PLi), thereby is a kind of very rising lithium ion battery negative material.Yet, in charge and discharge process, the reaction of the removal lithium embedded of silicon will be followed 310% change in volume, easily cause that electrode cracking and active material come off, thereby cause the electrode cycle performance to worsen.One of thinking addressed this problem is the synthesis of silica-base compound, the volumetric expansion of buffer electrode, the cyclical stability of raising electrode.
