Background technology
Lithium ion battery negative material is generally material with carbon element, and such as graphite, needle coke, carbonaceous mesophase spherules, carbon fiber, carbon nano-fiber etc., the theoretical reversible lithium storage specific capacity of commercial applications graphite cathode material is 372mAh/g at present.Improve the capacity of lithium ion battery, depend primarily on the embedding lithium ability of negative material, the research and development of high power capacity negative material have become the key that improves performance of lithium ion battery.The theoretical lithium storage content of silicon (Si) material is 4200mAh/g, is a kind of ideal material that improves capacity of negative plates.Yet the volumetric expansion of Si material in embedding lithium process can reach 300%, will cause destruction and the mechanical crushing of material structure, so that separate between conductive network and the silicon particle.The poorly conductive of silicon materials, first charge-discharge efficiency is low, energy attenuation is fast, the cycle performance extreme difference, is that such material is applied to the key scientific problems that the high specific energy lithium ion battery needs to be resolved hurrily.In order to alleviate the volumetric expansion of alloy material in charging process, improve its cyclical stability, the silicon grain of preparation nanoscale, or carbon/silicon nano composite material is the comparison effective method.
The employing silane crackings such as Jung get the amorphous silicon film of 50nm, and its first capacity can reach more than the 3000mAh/g, but after 20 circulations, the capacity rapid attenuation is to 400mAh/g[H.Jung, M.Park, Y.Yoon, et al.Journal of Power Sources, 2003,115:346.].Bourderau adopt the CVD legal system standby the Si film of 1.2 μ m, find that capacity can reach 1000mAh/g first, yet circulate after 20 times, capacity namely decays to rapidly [S.Bourderau about 200mAh/g, T.Brousse.Journal of Power Sources, 1999,81:233.].Cui has introduced nucleocapsid structure in preparation Si nano wire, examine to be the good Si line of crystal formation, play constitutionally stable about; Shell is the unformed Si film of one deck, plays the effect [L.Cui, Y.Cui.Nano Letters, 2009,9:491.] of capacity storage.
Silicon and carbon are compound for the preparation of negative material, especially in recent years study hotspot.Researchers have also studied the application of composite aspect lithium ion battery negative material of Si and graphite, carbonaceous mesophase spherules, CNT, Graphene, how empty carbon, amorphous carbon, carbon aerogels etc.Electrostatic spinning technique is the effective ways of preparation nanofiber, the polymer precursor of electrospinning carbon, after the oxidation carbonization, can prepare the carbon nano-fiber with unique microstructures, such as [M.Inagani, Y.Yang, F.Kang.Advanced Materials such as loose structure, hollow structure, embedding nano particle, nucleocapsid structure, surface abnormity, 2012,24:2547.].Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solution that Li etc. will mix the nano-silicon particle carries out electrostatic spinning, after the oxidation carbonization, obtain the carbon nano-fiber in the silicon grain embedding carbon base body, and with this as the negative material that is lithium ion battery, first capacity can reach 1000mAh/g, and after 50 circulations, capacity attenuation is to 700mAh/g, mainly be because reserve cushion space in the carbon base body expansion of silicon, limited the raising of material cycle performance; And obvious reunion occured in the silicon particle, and a large amount of silicon particles exposes on the surface of carbon nano-fiber [Y.Li, B.Guo, L.Ji, et al.Carbon, 2013,51:185.].Patent CN102623680A discloses a kind of silicon-carbon composite cathode material with three-dimensional preformed hole structure and preparation method thereof, in carbon base body, utilize silica to be template coated Si particle, finally with hydrofluoric acid silica is etched away, thereby obtain the reservation gap structure on silicon grain surface, material first reversible capacity can reach 1190mAh/g, and enclosed pasture efficient is 78.2%, the reversible capacity that circulates after 100 times is 1056mAh/g, and capability retention is 88.7%.But in this patent, because reserving hole forms after by etching silicon dioxide, after silica etches away, can't fully contact (the some contact that only causes because of gravity) with carbon base body thereby silicon particle integral body is arranged in hole, thereby cause its electronic transmission performance relatively poor.
