Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to an electrode material, a preparation method thereof and a battery.
Background
At present, a commercial lithium ion power battery generally uses a graphite material as a negative electrode, and the actual discharge specific capacity of the commercial lithium ion power battery is close to the theoretical value 372mAh/g, so that the technical route using the graphite material as the negative electrode material cannot meet the requirement of high energy density of the commercial lithium ion power battery, and therefore, a lot of negative electrode material production enterprises begin to adjust the strategic direction of the negative electrode material production enterprises, increase the layout of novel negative electrode materials, and the silicon-based negative electrode attracts attention.
The silicon material has high theoretical lithium intercalation specific capacity and low lithium intercalation and deintercalation potential, so that the silicon material has high theoretical lithium storage capacity which can reach 4200mAh/g generally, and therefore, the silicon material is considered as the next generation negative electrode material which is most hopeful to replace graphite. However, when the silicon material is applied to a battery electrode as an electrode material, in the process of charging and discharging, the repeated lithium ion deintercalation can cause the silicon material to generate huge volume expansion, and the volume expansion rate even reaches 300%, so that the silicon material is easy to be pulverized and crushed, and at the moment, the silicon material and a current collector lose electric contact, so that the reversible capacity of the material is sharply reduced, and the cycle performance is rapidly reduced.

At the moment, the graphite carbon material with the lamellar structure is pasted on the surface of the graphene material, and the silk-like folds of the graphene material are shielded by the carbon material with the lamellar structure, so that the silk-like folds of the graphene material are ensured to have a large enough space. Therefore, when the electrode material provided by the invention is applied to a battery, in the process of repeated charging and discharging, the silk-like folds of the graphene material have a large enough space to provide an expansion space for the silicon material, so that the electrode material is prevented from being pulverized and broken, and the cycle stability of the electrode material is improved. In addition, when the carbon material and the graphene material are used as substrates for compounding carbon and silicon materials to prepare the electrode material, the carbon material and the graphene material have very high specific surface areas, so that the lithium storage capacity of the electrode material obtained by compounding the carbon material and the graphene material with silicon is increased, the transmission distance of lithium ions in the electrode material is shortened, and the lithiation reaction rate of silicon is increased.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
With the rapid growth of the market of new energy automobiles, related fields such as upstream materials and the like are rapidly developed. The requirement of people on the endurance of new energy automobiles is higher and higher, and the requirement of consumers on the endurance mileage of the automobiles is continuously improved depending on the energy density of batteries, so that the high energy density becomes the future development direction of power batteries.
The silicon material has very high theoretical lithium intercalation specific capacity and lower lithium intercalation and deintercalation potential, so that the silicon material has high theoretical lithium storage capacity and is considered as the next generation negative electrode material which is most hopeful to replace graphite. However, during the charging and discharging processes of the lithium ion battery, the silicon material generates huge volume expansion due to the repeated deintercalation of lithium ions, and the volume expansion rate even reaches 300%, which easily causes the damage and mechanical pulverization of the silicon material structure. At this time, electrical contact between the silicon materials and the current collector is lost, so that the reversible capacity of the material is sharply reduced, and the cycle performance is rapidly reduced. Meanwhile, when the silicon-based material is applied to a negative electrode, silicon is continuously exposed to an electrolyte due to the volume effect of the silicon-based material in the charging and discharging processes, so that a stable solid electrolyte membrane (hereinafter referred to as SEI membrane) is difficult to form on the surface of the negative electrode, and therefore, a large amount of lithium ions contained in the electrolyte are consumed, and the first charging and discharging efficiency of the silicon-based material is reduced and the capacity of the silicon-based material is rapidly attenuated. In addition, silicon is a semiconductor material having low electrical conductivity, and the use of a silicon-based material as a negative electrode also reduces the transport rate of lithium ions.
Example one
The embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of an electrode material, which is used for preparing the electrode material by compounding a silicon material, a carbon material and a graphene material. When the electrode material is used for an electrode of a battery, the pulverization and the crushing of a silicon material in the process of repeated charging and discharging can be avoided, and the cycling stability of the electrode material is improved. As shown in fig. 1, the preparation method of the electrode material comprises:
step S140: mixing the carbon material, the graphene material, the adhesive and the silicon material together to obtain the precursor. The binder can be selected from a wide range, such as one or more of polyvinylpyrrolidone, carboxymethyl cellulose, glucose, polyvinyl alcohol, and acrylic resin. The carbon material can be selected from one or more of graphite material, carbohydrate material, lipid material and acetylene material.
And S150, sintering the precursor in an inert environment to convert the carbon material contained in the precursor into the graphite carbon material with a lamellar structure, thereby obtaining the electrode material. The sintering temperature may be set according to actual conditions as long as the carbon-based material contained in the precursor can be converted into the graphite-based carbon material having a lamellar structure while carbonizing the binder, and is generally set to 650 to 900 ℃.
The preparation method of the electrode material provided in the above example shows that: the carbon material and the graphene material contained in the precursor have stable physical and chemical properties and excellent mechanical property, electrical property and thermal property, and in the electrode material prepared by compounding the silicon material with the carbon material and the graphene material, the carbon material and the graphene material can serve as a buffer matrix to inhibit and relieve volume change of silicon during lithium desorption, so that the volume expansion inclusion of the electrode material to the silicon material is enhanced. At this time, when the electrode material is applied to an electrode of a battery, in the process of repeated charge and discharge, shear stress and compressive stress generated by expansion when the silicon material repeatedly deintercalates lithium are absorbed by the sheet layer of the graphene-based material and the carbon-based material, so that the volume expansion of the silicon material does not cause the structural damage and mechanical pulverization of the electrode material, the structural collapse of the electrode material and the peeling of the electrode material are avoided, and the cycle performance of the electrode material is improved.
Meanwhile, the specific surface area of the graphene material is very large, which can generally reach 2630m 2 And/g, the graphene has a silk-like folded structure, so when the silicon material is compounded with the graphene material, the silicon material is coated in folds of the graphene material, and the surface of the prepared electrode material is less exposed. When the electrode material is used for an electrode of a battery, in the process of repeated charging and discharging, the graphene material serves as an isolation layer to isolate the silicon material from the electrolyte, so that the silicon material is prevented from being agglomerated, and meanwhile, the electrolyte is prevented from contacting the silicon material in the electrode material, so that the probability of expansion of the silicon material in the electrode material in the process of repeated charging and discharging is reduced, and the cycle performance of the electrode material is improved.
However, the conventional electrode material is obtained by simply physically compounding a silicon material and graphite or graphene, and since the graphene material and the graphite material are both in a layered structure, when the silicon material is mixed with one of the materials in the mixture of graphite or graphene, gaps between graphites or gaps between graphenes in the obtained electrode material are small. At this time, when the existing electrode material is used for an electrode of a battery, in the process of repeated charge and discharge, when the volume expansion of the silicon material exceeds the buffer capacity of the graphite material or the graphene material, the structure of the electrode material is damaged and mechanically pulverized, the structure of the electrode material is collapsed, the electrode material is peeled off, and the cycle performance of the motor material is reduced.
In the embodiment of the invention, the silicon material is distributed in the silk-like folds of the graphene material in the precursor obtained by mixing the silicon material with the graphene material, the carbon material and the binder, and the carbon material and the binder are attached to the graphene material, so that the carbon material contained in the precursor is converted into the graphite-like carbon material with a lamellar structure after the precursor is sintered. At the moment, the graphite carbon material with the lamellar structure is pasted on the surface of the graphene material, and the silk-like folds of the graphene material are shielded by the carbon material with the lamellar structure, so that the silk-like folds of the graphene material are ensured to have a large enough space. Therefore, when the electrode material provided by the invention is applied to a battery, in the process of repeated charging and discharging, the silk-like folds of the graphene material have enough large space to provide expansion space for the silicon material, so that the electrode material is prevented from being pulverized and broken, and the cycle stability of the electrode material is improved. In addition, when the carbon material and the graphene material are used as substrates for compounding carbon and silicon materials to prepare the electrode material, the carbon material and the graphene material have very high specific surface areas, so that the lithium storage capacity of the electrode material obtained by compounding the carbon material and the graphene material with silicon is increased, the transmission distance of lithium ions in the electrode material is shortened, and the lithiation reaction rate of silicon is increased.
As can be seen from the above, in the preparation method of the electrode material in the embodiment of the present invention, the electrode material is obtained by using the carbon-based material and the graphene-based material as the substrate, and compounding the carbon and the silicon material. When the carbon material and the graphene material are used as substrate carbon, the cycling performance of the electrode material can be improved by buffering the volume change of the silicon material and isolating the silicon material from electrolyte, and the carbon material can be converted into a graphite structure in a sintering mode, so that sufficient expansion gaps are reserved between the graphene material and the carbon material for the silicon material to improve the cycling performance of the electrode material. In addition, the carbon material and the graphene material are good conductors of electrons, and the conductivity is superior to that of a silicon material, so that the electrode material prepared by compounding the carbon material, the graphene material and the silicon material has good conductivity.
If the silicon material is mixed with the carbon material, the graphene material and the adhesive at the same time, the silicon material is distributed on the surface of the carbon material, the surface of the adhesive and the surface of the graphene material, so that the silicon material cannot be completely wrapped in silk-like folds of the graphene material. In this case, when the electrode material is used in an electrode of a battery, a portion of the silicon material is exposed to an electrolyte during repeated charge and discharge, so that it is difficult to form a stable SEI film on the surface of the electrode of the battery. Based on this, as shown in fig. 2, the mixing of the carbon-based material, the graphene-based material, and the silicon material to obtain the precursor includes:
step S141, preparing the graphene material and the silicon material into silicon-graphene material dispersion liquid. The mass ratio of the graphene-based material to the silicon material is (1.5 to 3.5): 3, and may be set according to actual needs. The graphene material and the silicon material are mixed by a wet method, and the silicon material is distributed in silk-like folds of the graphene material.
And step S142, uniformly mixing the carbon material, the binder and the silicon-graphene material dispersion liquid to obtain a precursor solution. The mass ratio of the carbon-based material to the silicon material in the precursor solution is (20-25): 3, and the mass ratio of the binder to the silicon material is (1.5-3.5): 3, which can be set according to actual needs. At this time, since the silicon material is already distributed in the silk-like wrinkles of the silicon material, the silicon material is not distributed on the surface of the carbon-based material and the surface of the adhesive.
And step S143, granulating the precursor solution to obtain a precursor. The granulation mode is more, for example, the common spray drying granulation mode can not only realize granulation, but also play a drying role.
In the above description, in the preparation method of the electrode material, the silicon material and the graphene material are mixed to obtain the silicon-graphene material dispersion liquid, and then the carbon material and the binder are mixed with the silicon-graphene material dispersion liquid, so that the silicon material is only distributed in the silk-like folds of the graphene material. At the moment, when the electrode material is applied to an electrode of a battery, the silicon material and the carbon material can form a protective layer in the process of charging and discharging for many times, so that the silicon material is prevented from being exposed in the electrolyte, a stable SEI film can be formed on the surface of the electrode material, and the cycling stability of the motor material is ensured.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the step of preparing the silicon-graphene dispersion solution from the graphene-based material and the silicon material includes:
step S1411, the graphene-based material and the dispersion solvent are uniformly mixed to obtain a graphene-based material dispersion liquid. The graphene-like material and the dispersion solvent can be uniformly mixed by means of ultrasonic stirring or mechanical stirring. The selection of the dispersing solvent is various, such as: aqueous dispersion of polyvinylpyrrolidone. When the aqueous dispersion of polyvinylpyrrolidone is mixed with the graphene material to prepare the dispersion of graphene material, the mass ratio of the graphene material to the polyvinylpyrrolidone is (80-120): 1, and it is needless to say that the amount may be selected according to actual needs.
Silicon material is prepared into silicon material dispersion liquid. The particle size of the silicon material in the silicon material dispersion liquid is 150nm to 180nm, and may be set according to actual needs. When the particle diameter of the silicon material in the silicon material dispersion liquid is 150nm to 180nm, the silicon material can be dispersed in the silk-like wrinkles of the graphene-based material, and the structure of the graphene-based material is not damaged when the silicon material expands.
Step S1412, adding the silicon material dispersion to the graphene material dispersion to obtain a silicon-graphene material dispersion. The silicon material dispersion liquid and the graphene material dispersion liquid can be uniformly mixed in a stirring mode or a ball milling mode. The silicon material dispersion may be directly poured into the graphene-based material dispersion, and the silicon material dispersion may be added dropwise to the graphene-based material dispersion. When the silicon material dispersion liquid is dripped into the graphene material dispersion liquid, the amount of the graphene material is far greater than that of the silicon material, so that the silicon material can be uniformly distributed on the surface and the folds of the graphene material, the silicon material is prevented from agglomeration, and the cycle performance of the electrode material is improved.
Illustratively, in order to make the electrode material have a higher specific capacity, the tap density of the carbon-based material in the embodiment of the present invention is greater than that of the graphene-based material. At this time, the specific surface area of the graphene-based material and the carbon-based material in the prepared electrode material is large, and therefore, the electrode material has sufficient processing capacity so that the motor material has high specific capacity. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the carbon material, the adhesive and the silicon-graphene material dispersion are uniformly mixed to obtain a precursor solution, which includes:
step S1421, the carbon-based material is prepared into a carbon-based material dispersion. The binder is formulated into a binder dispersion.
The carbon-based material dispersion liquid can be obtained by uniformly mixing the carbon-based material with a dispersion solvent. When the carbon material is mixed with the dispersing solvent, the uniformly mixed carbon material dispersion liquid can be obtained by an ultrasonic dispersion or mechanical stirring mode. The dispersion solvent is various, such as: an aqueous dispersion of polyvinylpyrrolidone. When the aqueous dispersion of polyvinylpyrrolidone is used as the dispersion of the carbon material, the mass ratio of the carbon material to the polyvinylpyrrolidone in the dispersion of the carbon material is (80 to 120): 1. the binder dispersion can be obtained by dispersing the binder in water. The mass fraction of the binder in the binder dispersion liquid is 11-17%.
Step S1422, the carbon material dispersion, the adhesive dispersion, and the silicon-graphene material dispersion are put into a ball mill and mixed uniformly to obtain a precursor solution. The graphene dispersion solution can be firstly put into a ball mill, and then the silicon-graphene material dispersion solution is dropwise added into the graphene dispersion solution. The ball milling speed is 300rmp, and the ball milling time is 3-4 h.
Specifically, the precursor solution is granulated by spray drying, and the precursor solution is generally put into a centrifugal spray drying agent for granulation. The pressure, temperature and rotation speed of the precursor solution during granulation can be selected according to actual conditions, and the precursor solution can be prepared into a precursor, wherein the temperature of the precursor solution is 260-280 ℃, the rotation speed is 3-5 rpm/min, and the pressure is 0.3-0.5 mPa in general. It should be understood that the above rotational speed is the rotational speed of the electric high-speed centrifugal atomizer.
In some possible implementations, sintering the precursor in an inert gas environment to obtain the electrode material includes:
and sintering the precursor at 650-900 ℃ in an inert environment such as a nitrogen atmosphere or an argon atmosphere to carbonize the precursor, thereby obtaining the electrode material. Generally, the sintering time may be 90min to 150min. In addition, when sintering the precursor, the temperature should be raised to 650-900 ℃ at a rate of 2-5 ℃/min.
In some realizable modes, in order to ensure that the silicon material is uniformly distributed on the surfaces of the graphene-based material and the carbon-based material and prevent the silicon material from agglomerating due to overhigh surface energy, in the preparation method of the electrode material, the carbon-based material is a carbon-based material with negative charges, the graphene-based material is a graphene-based material with negative charges, and the silicon material is a silicon material with positive charges. At this time, the silicon nano material with positive charges can be uniformly distributed in the graphene sheet layer or the space structure of the carbon material through the charge attraction between the silicon nano material with positive charges, the graphene material with negative charges and the carbon material with negative charges. The carbon material with negative charges, the graphene material with negative charges and the silicon material with positive charges can be obtained by self-made products or purchased from manufacturers.
Specifically, the carbon-based material with negative charges is a carbon-based material with carboxyl groups on the surface, and may be a carbon-based material with other groups on the surface, as long as the carbon-based material is ensured to exhibit negative charges.
The silicon material with positive charges is nano silicon with amino groups on the surface, and certainly can also be nano silicon with other groups on the surface as long as the nano silicon can be ensured to show positive charges. For example: when the silicon material with positive charges is nano-silicon with amino on the surface, the nano-silicon with amino on the surface is in the amino of the acidic aqueous solution and H contained in the acidic aqueous solution + The combination causes the protonation of the amino group, so that the nano silicon with the amino group on the surface is positively charged in the acidic aqueous solution.
The graphene material with negative charges is provided with a plurality of sheets, and is graphene oxide and/or carboxylated graphene; at least one of the plurality of sheets of the carboxylated graphene contains a carboxyl group. The bonding of the carboxyl group contained in the carboxylated graphene to the graphene means that the graphene has a lamellar structure in which not every lamellar contains a carboxyl group. When the graphene-based material having a negative charge is carboxylated graphene, the carboxyl group of the carboxylated graphene is negatively charged in an acidic aqueous solution.
When the silicon nano material with positive charges, the graphene material with negative charges and the carbon material with negative charges are obtained in a self-made mode, the preparation method of the electrode material further comprises the following steps:
step S110, mixing the organic carboxylation reagent and the carbon material by adopting a solid phase mixing mode.
For example, as shown in fig. 5, mixing the organic carboxylation reagent with the carbon-based material by solid-phase mixing to obtain the carbon-based material with negative charges includes:
and step S111, putting the organic carboxylation reagent and the carbon material into a planetary ball mill, and mixing in a ball milling mode to perform a carboxylation reaction on the carbon material and the organic carboxylation reagent to obtain a crude product of the carboxylated carbon material. The process of the carboxylation reaction of the carbon-based material and the organic carboxylation reagent is substantially a process of combining the hydrophobic group of the carbon-based material and the hydrophobic group of the organic carboxylation reagent.
As for the mass ratio of the total mass of the organic carboxylation agent and the carbon-based material to the grinding ball, it may be set according to actual conditions, and is generally 1: (20 to 40). The ball milling time is also required to be set according to actual conditions, and is generally 1 h-3 h. As for the kind of the organic carboxylating agent, one or both of carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxyethyl cellulose may be included, though not limited thereto. Meanwhile, the ball milling mode can be dry ball milling or wet ball milling, and when the dry ball milling is selected, the energy generated in the dry ball milling process can be used for promoting the carboxylation reaction of the graphene to be carried out.
And S112, removing the coarse product of the carboxylated carbon material with poor dispersion effect from the coarse product of the carboxylated carbon material to obtain the carboxylated carbon material.

When the alkaline substance is commercially available ammonia water, even if certain ammonia is doped on the obtained silicon material with positive charges, the alkaline substance can be removed in the subsequent calcination process; when the alkaline substance is inorganic alkali, the obtained silicon material with positive charges is doped with certain inorganic alkali and cannot be removed in the subsequent calcining process, so that the prepared graphene-silicon composite material contains impurities, and the application of the graphene-silicon composite material in the electrode of the battery is influenced.

From fig. 11, it can be found that: after the circulation for 350 times, the retention rate of the button cell prepared by the electrode material obtained in the third embodiment is up to 99%, the 0.5C specific discharge capacity is maintained at 510mAh/g, while the retention rate of the button cell prepared by the electrode material obtained in the first comparative example is only 68%, and the 0.5 capacity is reduced from 550mAh/g to 37 mAh/g. From the above, the button cell prepared from the electrode material obtained in example three has better cycle performance.
Fig. 12 shows an SEM image of the electrode material containing a carboxylated carbon material, after 500 cycles of a button cell made of the electrode material containing a carboxylated carbon material. As can be seen from fig. 12, after 500 cycles, the silicon thin film in the electrode material containing the carboxylated carbon material was only roughened, but the silicon thin film did not show exfoliation. Fig. 13 shows SEM images of electrode materials containing carbon-based materials at the time of maintenance after the button cell made of electrode materials containing unmodified carbon-based materials was cycled 500 times. As can be seen from fig. 13, since there is no electrostatic attraction and support in the electrode material containing the unmodified carbon-based material, a part of the silicon particles are agglomerated, which results in severe expansion and surface roughness of the electrode material during the circulation process.
The carbon material with negative charge on the surface, the silicon material with positive charge on the surface and the graphene material with negative charge on the surface are combined through electrostatic interaction, so that the dispersion uniformity of the silicon material on the graphene sheet layer and the carbon material can be improved, the carbon material and the carbon material are mutually supported, the agglomeration phenomenon and volume expansion in the charging and discharging process when only a single component exists are relieved, the circulation stability of the material is improved, and the charging and discharging performance and the rate capability of the prepared button cell are better.
In the foregoing description of embodiments, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and shall cover the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the appended claims.
