Description

Nano silicon metal composite material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a silicon metal composite material for a lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Lithium ion secondary batteries are widely used in various electronic devices. As the demand for and performance of electronic devices for their power system-chemical power source-grows dramatically, most commercial lithium ion batteries have anodes comprising materials such as graphite that incorporate lithium via an intercalation mechanism upon charging. Such an insertion-type anode exhibits better cycle life and coulombic efficiency, but is limited by a lower theoretical capacity (372 mAh/g) and it is difficult to improve the performance of the battery through a battery preparation process.
The second anode material such as Si, Sn and Sb, which introduces lithium through an alloying mechanism during charging, is a better choice of high-capacity anode materials, wherein silicon has the advantages of more than 10 times of theoretical electrochemical capacity (4200 mAh/g) compared with widely used carbon materials, low lithium intercalation voltage (lower than 0.5V), no co-intercalation of solvent molecules in the intercalation process, abundant content in earth crust and the like. However, the silicon material as an anode shows relatively poor cycle life and coulombic efficiency, and the main reasons are that the silicon material has poor conductivity, and the generated internal stress causes the damage of the material structure in the severe volume effect (volume change rate: 280% -310%) generated in the electrochemical lithium-releasing process, so that the separation of electrode materials, electrode materials and conductive agents (such as carbon), adhesives and electrode materials and current collectors is caused, and further the electrical contact is lost, and the cycle performance of the electrode is reduced rapidly.
There are two main solutions proposed to solve this problem: one of the methods is to make silicon into a nano-scale. Because the volume change of silicon can be reduced to some extent with the reduction of particles, the internal stress of the electrode is reduced. However, the nano material is easy to agglomerate in the circulation process, which is not enough to improve the performance of the battery to be practical. Secondly, the method adopts the compounding of materials such as silicon and metal, namely the compounding of nano silicon with electrochemical activity and metal materials with good conductivity. On one hand, the metal material can improve the conductivity of the silicon material, so that all silicon plays a role of an active material in electrochemical lithium desorption, and on the other hand, the metal material can be used as a buffer framework to disperse and buffer internal stress generated by volume change of the silicon material in the lithium desorption process, so that the silicon metal composite material has good cycle performance.
Wang G.X. et al (J.Power. sources, 2000, 88: 278-. Kang kibum et al (chem.Sci., 2011, 2: 1090) grow a silicon-nickel nanowire array on a nickel substrate, silicon is deposited on the outer layer through a vapor deposition method and used for a lithium ion battery cathode material, the inner layer silicon-nickel nanowire is used as a framework, the outer layer silicon is used as an active material, the volume effect of the silicon material in the lithium desorption and intercalation process is restrained to a certain extent, meanwhile, the conductivity of the silicon material is improved, and the good cycle performance is kept. ZhangShichao et al (adv. Mater.2010, 22: 5378-. These studies indicate that nano silicon metal composites are generally formed by compounding metal and silicon or silicon alloy and silicon, and the silicon metal can be physically or chemically bonded. The physical combination does not help greatly to improve the cycle performance of the silicon material, and preferably, the silicon and the metal form chemical combination, so that the volume effect of the silicon material can be effectively improved, and the material with stable cycle performance is obtained. The main methods for preparing the silicon metal composite materials at present comprise a chemical vapor deposition method, a thermal vapor deposition method, a high-energy ball milling method and the like. These methods of preparation involve complicated processes (e.g., templating), difficult control of the processes, expensive equipment (e.g., chemical vapor deposition), and difficult mass production.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defect that the cycle stability of the existing nano silicon metal composite material is poor due to the separation of silicon and metal in the process of lithium intercalation and deintercalation when the silicon and the metal are used as a negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery because of physical combination, and provides the nano silicon metal composite material with good cycle stability. A small amount of silicon metal alloy can limit the volume change of the nano silicon metal composite material in the process of lithium intercalation and deintercalation, so that silicon and metal in the nano silicon metal composite material can not be separated from each other due to the increase of cycle times, and the cycle stability of the nano silicon metal composite material is improved.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to the figures and examples. The description is intended to be illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention.
The invention provides a nano silicon metal composite material for a lithium ion battery, which at least contains simple substance silicon and metal. The simple substance silicon in the material is obtained by electrolyzing silicon dioxide in raw materials through molten salt by an electrochemical method, the metal is obtained by metal in the raw materials and electrolyzing metal oxide, and the simple substance carbon is obtained by simple substance carbon in the raw materials. Therefore, the ratio of the simple substance silicon to the metal or the carbon in the nano silicon metal composite material can be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of the silicon dioxide, the metal and the metal oxide to the carbon in the raw materials. The lithium intercalation capacity of the nano silicon metal composite material can be adjusted by adjusting the proportion of the simple substance silicon, the metal and the carbon in the material. The silicon content is too low, the specific capacity of the nano silicon metal composite material is too low, and the requirement of the battery can not be met. The ratio of silicon is too high, and under the same other conditions, the specific capacity of the nano silicon metal composite material is higher, but the volume change of silicon caused by lithium intercalation and deintercalation is more severe because partial simple substance silicon cannot form effective combination with metal, so that the cycle performance of a battery using the nano silicon metal composite material is poorer. Thus, the nano-silicon metal composite has a molar percentage of elemental silicon of at least 10%, at least 15%, or at least 20%; the mole percent of elemental silicon may also be up to 35%, up to 40%, up to 45%, up to 50%, or up to 55%. For example, the mole percentage content of the simple substance silicon in the nano silicon metal composite material can be 10-55%, 10-45%, 10-35%, 10-25%, 15-55%, 15-45%, 15-35%, 15-25%, 20-55%, 20-45%, 20-35%, 20-25%, 30-55%, 30-45%, 30-35%, 40-55%, 40-45% or 50-55%.
The second component of the nano silicon metal composite material can comprise a first component of transition metal, or a combination thereof, or a compound formed by the transition metal and the silicon, a second component of aluminum, tin, antimony, or a combination thereof, or a compound formed by the silicon, a third component of alkaline earth elements or a combination thereof, and a fourth component of carbon, oxygen, or a compound formed by the transition metal, the tin, the antimony, or the combination thereof and the silicon, or the compound formed by the transition metal and the silicon. A molar percentage of the second component of at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, or at least 30%; the mole percentage of the second component may also be up to 50%, up to 55%, up to 60%, up to 65%, up to 70%, up to 75%, up to 80%, up to 85%, or up to 90%. Some metals in the second component are electrochemically active and can provide a part of the capacity, while other metals are not electrochemically active, and therefore, the molar percentage of the second component is more preferably 10 to 70%. For example, the second component may be present in an amount of 10 to 20%, 10 to 30%, 10 to 40%, 10 to 50%, 10 to 60%, 10 to 70%, 20 to 30%, 20 to 40%, 20 to 50%, 20 to 60%, 20 to 70%, 30 to 40%, 30 to 50%, 30 to 60%, 30 to 70%, 40 to 50%, 40 to 60% or 40 to 70% by mole.
Silicon-oxygen compound SiO in nano silicon metal composite materialxElemental silicon in the silicon dioxide which is not completely reduced in the raw material or the nano-silicon metal composite material which is the electrolysis product is oxidized again in the post-treatment process, so that the silicon-oxygen compound is attached to the surface of the elemental silicon. The content of the silicon oxide compound in the electrolytic product nano silicon metal composite material can be adjusted by controlling the electrolytic capacity, namely the electrolytic time. If the electrolysis time is controlled to be enough to completely electrolyze the raw material silicon dioxide, the nano silicon metal composite material does not contain silicon oxygen compound. The silicon oxide in the nano silicon metal composite material can embed lithium, and the lithium silicate attached to the surface of the nano silicon formed after lithium embedding has good conductivity and can effectively limit the volume change in the process of lithium embedding and lithium removing of silicon. Therefore, the silicon-oxygen compound in the nano silicon-metal composite material is beneficial to improving the cycle stability of the silicon-metal composite material, but lithium cannot be completely extracted by lithium silicate formed after the silicon-oxygen compound embeds lithium, so that the first coulombic efficiency of the nano silicon-metal composite material is lower. Therefore, the mol percentage of the silicon oxide compound in the nano silicon metal composite material is 0.1-5 mol%.
The nano silicon metal composite material has the following structural characteristics: the metal is one or more of spherical, spheroidal, flaky and linear; the simple substance silicon is in one or more of a linear shape, a granular shape, a tubular shape and a sheet shape. Wherein the simple substance silicon is at least one of nano silicon wire, nano silicon particle, nano silicon tube and nano silicon chip. The particle size of the granular simple substance silicon is less than 100nm, the diameter of the linear simple substance silicon is less than 100nm, the diameter of the tubular simple substance silicon is less than 100nm, and the thickness of the flaky simple substance silicon is less than 100 nm. The simple substance carbon is one or more of spherical shape, similar spherical shape, sheet shape, linear shape and tubular shape. The structure of the nano-silicon metal composite is related to the structure of each component part, and includes but may not be completely consistent with the structure of each component part.
The metal in the nano silicon metal composite material is derived from metal and metal oxide in raw materials and can be in a crystalline and/or amorphous state; the simple substance carbon in the nano silicon metal composite material is derived from a carbon material in the raw material, and can be a graphite negative electrode material commonly used in the field of lithium ion batteries, such as natural graphite, artificial graphite, mesocarbon microbeads and the like; the carbon material may be conductive carbon material for lithium ion battery, such as acetylene black, carbon fiber or carbon tube, etc., or organic pyrolytic carbon, such as polyvinyl alcohol, styrene-butadiene rubber latex, carboxymethyl cellulose, polymethacrylate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyacrylonitrile, phenolic resin, epoxy resin, glucose, sucrose, fructose, cellulose, starch or asphalt, etc.
The metal in the nano silicon metal composite material and silicon can generate metal silicide, and the metal silicide is mainly generated by slowly soaking the nano silicon and the metal in metal reduction silicon dioxide or molten salt for a long time in the electrode sintering process. The metal silicide can effectively improve the binding force between the simple substance silicon and the metal, improve the conductivity and inhibit the overlarge volume change of the silicon material in the lithium desorption process. Therefore, the uniformity of silicon dioxide and metal materials in the raw materials is ensured, and the generated silicon, metal and metal silicide can be uniformly combined together.
The preparation method of the nano silicon metal composite material provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
1. compounding a porous block consisting of metal, metal oxide and silicon dioxide with a conductive cathode current collector to serve as a cathode, taking graphite or an inert anode as an anode, placing the anode at a certain temperature, and adding CaCl2Or with CaCl2Applying voltage between cathode and anode in mixed salt melt electrolyte to electrolyze electric quantityAs the control means for finishing the electrolysis process, the silicon dioxide in the porous block is electrolyzed and reduced into nano silicon, and the nano silicon metal composite material is prepared at the cathode. The electrolysis time is the electric quantity needed by the theory and above when the electrolysis electric quantity reaches. The theoretically required electric quantity is the electric quantity calculated according to the electrons consumed by SiO2 to become simple substance Si, and the electric quantity changes along with the change of the content of SiO 2.
The structure (such as microscopic uniformity, porosity and pore diameter), composition and size of the porous block body composed of metal, metal oxide and silicon dioxide are key factors influencing the composition proportion, morphology and distribution uniformity of elemental silicon, metal silicide and silicon-oxygen compound of the electrolytic product nano-silicon metal composite material and the specific capacity of the lithium ion battery cathode material. The microscopic uniformity of the metal, the metal oxide and the silicon dioxide in the porous block body consisting of the metal, the metal oxide and the silicon dioxide can directly influence the distribution uniformity of the simple substance silicon, the metal and the metal silicide of the electrolytic product nano silicon metal composite material, so that the porous block body which is uniformly mixed must be manufactured. When the porosity of the porous electric block body consisting of the metal and the silicon dioxide is large, for example, when the porosity of the porous block body is more than 60%, the volume of the silicon generated by electrolytic reduction of the silicon dioxide in the electrolytic process is reduced by 50% due to the release of oxygen, and the porosity of the porous block body consisting of the metal and the silicon is increased after reduction, so that the strength of the porous block body is not enough and the porous block body cannot be completely taken out of the molten salt. When the porosity of the porous block composed of metal and silica is small, for example, when the porosity of the porous block is less than 5 vol%, the pores in the porous block for molten electrolyte calcium chloride to pass through are small, the electrolytic reduction reaction speed is reduced, and the electrolysis time is too long, so that the content of metal silicide in the product is too large.
The specific implementation process of compounding the porous block body consisting of metal, metal oxide and silicon dioxide and the conductive cathode current collector to be used as the cathode comprises the steps of firstly preparing silicon dioxide powder into silicon dioxide colloid, adding the metal and the metal oxide into the silicon dioxide colloid, carrying out high-speed mechanical fusion to ensure that the silicon dioxide is uniformly coated on the metal oxide and the metal to form a mixture, then preparing the mixture into a block green body, forming the porous block body by the block green body at a certain mechanical pressure or a certain temperature, wherein the porous block body is prepared at the mechanical pressure of 10-100 MPa and the temperature of 800-1400 ℃, and the porosity of the obtained porous block body is 10-30%.

6. According to the preparation method of the step 1, the electrolysis voltage is lower than the theoretical decomposition voltage of the electrolyte, and the electrolysis electric quantity is the electric quantity required by the theory and above for the electrolysis electric quantity.
7. According to the preparation method described in step 1, electrolysis is carried out at a temperature of 500-1000 ℃.
8. According to the preparation method of the step 1, after the electrolysis process is finished, the product can be taken out of the molten salt along with the working electrode, and if necessary, a porous block electrode consisting of metal or metal oxide and silicon dioxide can be put in the molten salt to start a new round of electrolysis, so that the continuous production of the nano silicon metal composite material is realized.
9. According to the preparation method of the step 1, after an electrolysis product is taken out, the electrolysis product is cooled to room temperature under an inert atmosphere, and then the electrolysis product is fully washed in water and an organic solvent, and molten salt electrolyte included in the electrolysis product is removed.
10. According to the preparation method described in the step 1, the washed electrolysis product is dried in vacuum for more than 12 hours.
