Description

Hard carbon material, preparation method and application thereof, and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a hard carbon material, a preparation method and application thereof, and a lithium ion battery.
Background
The graphite cathode material has the advantages of stable capacity, high efficiency and low voltage platform, so that the graphite cathode material is generally adopted in the traditional lithium ion battery. However, because the graphite cathode material has small graphite flake spacing and large grain size, the lithium ion diffusion in the graphite cathode material can only proceed along a specific direction and path; and the lithium ion has large migration resistance among graphite lattices, so that the dynamic performance of the lithium ion battery is insufficient and the lithium ion battery is difficult to apply to a large-current continuous charging and discharging environment.
The microstructure of the hard carbon material is different from that of a graphite material, and the hard carbon material mainly comprises a short-range ordered graphite microcrystal region, an orientation ordered region, an orientation disordered region and micropores formed by disordered stacking. Therefore, the diffusion of lithium ions in the hard carbon material is approximately isotropic, the diffusion resistance is small, and the diffusion rate is high. And the interlayer spacing of the short-range ordered graphite microcrystals in the hard carbon material is far greater than 0.3354nm of graphite, so that the migration resistance of lithium ions in the hard carbon is low, and the lithium ions can be rapidly migrated and diffused in the hard carbon material. In addition, when the hard carbon material is used as the negative electrode material of the lithium ion battery, the lithium ion battery has higher electrochemical potential and negative lithium precipitation potential, so that the lithium ion battery using the hard carbon material as the negative electrode has higher safety. Therefore, when the hard carbon material is used for the lithium ion battery, the hard carbon material not only has excellent rate characteristic and higher safety performance, but also has excellent performances of stable electrochemical cycle, long service life, good low-temperature performance and the like.
However, since the graphite crystallite region and the orientation disorder region of the hard carbon material have an imperfect graphite lattice structure, the conductivity of the hard carbon material is low due to the weak electron conductivity of the region. The lower conductivity of the hard carbon material is a main factor for restricting the poor dynamic performance of the hard carbon material when the hard carbon material is applied to the cathode of a lithium ion battery, and is also one of the reasons for causing the voltage hysteresis of the hard carbon material.
At present, in the prior art, a conductive agent is coated on the surface of a hard carbon material, or the conductive agent is added when the hard carbon material is prepared into an electrode, so that the resistivity of the hard carbon material is improved. However, the surface coating cannot effectively improve the internal conductivity of the hard carbon material, so that the problems of increased electrochemical polarization, potential lag, easy generation of battery heating and the like are caused; and when the hard carbon material is prepared into the electrode, the process of adding the conductive agent is complex, and the improvement degree is limited. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a hard carbon material with low resistivity and excellent electrochemical performance and a preparation method thereof.

Figure BDA0002875245420000101
As can be seen from Table 1, the hard carbon material prepared in the above example has a significant advantage in 5C fast discharge constant current ratio. In particular, in the embodiments 1 to 4, the carbon nanotube is added as a conductive agent in the preparation of the hard carbon precursor, so that the carbon nanotube forms a conductive network in the hard carbon material, thereby increasing the conductive capability of the hard carbon material and having a high 5C rapid discharge constant current ratio; the problem that the lithium ion fast desorption and insertion capability of 5C of the hard carbon material is influenced due to high resistivity of the hard carbon material is solved. The oxidation temperature in example 6 was higher than the other examples, resulting in less formation of hard carbon structure and thus lower first charge capacity.
Comparative example 1 although the first charge capacity and the first efficiency are not much different from those of examples 1 to 6, the resistivity is high and the 5C fast discharge constant current ratio is also low because a conductive network is not constructed inside the hard carbon material. The ultra-thin crystalline flake graphite in comparative example 3 has better conductivity and can provide partial capacity, but the 5C constant current of the graphite is lower, so that the 5C constant current of the prepared hard carbon material is also lower. Comparative example 4 has a low capacity and a low 5C constant current ratio because it does not include an oxidative curing process step and forms a soft carbon structure.
