Description

Composite negative plate, preparation method thereof and secondary battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a composite negative plate, a preparation method thereof and a secondary battery.
Background
The lithium ion battery is a rechargeable battery widely applied in the fields of power, energy storage and consumption at present, and the positive electrode of the lithium ion battery mostly adopts transition metal oxide lithium salts such as Lithium Cobaltate (LCO) and lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM), or transition metal phosphate lithium salts such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Manganese Phosphate (LMP); a carbon material mainly containing graphite is often used for the negative electrode. In order to further improve the specific energy of the battery, attention is increasingly paid to novel negative electrode materials such as silicon materials, tin materials, silica materials and the like, wherein the theoretical specific capacity of the negative electrode materials is 5-10 times higher than that of graphite carbon materials. However, the silicon-oxygen material, the silicon material and the tin material have huge volume changes in the charging and discharging processes, so that the materials are rapidly broken and pulverized, and are separated from an electronic communication channel with a current collector, the cycle life of the battery is seriously shortened, and even the cycle life is only tens of weeks or less. To this end, improved approaches have been proposed from several aspects. For example, the silicon material is processed by nano treatment to reduce the surface damage caused by volume expansion; the one-dimensional conductive agents such as carbon nano tubes are adopted to improve the conductivity and limit the expansion of the active substances; a binder such as polyacrylate or the like is used. However, these methods still cannot solve the problem of short cycle life caused by the expansion of the silicon material in the negative electrode having a silicon content of more than 10 wt%.
In addition, in order to increase the energy density of the battery, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the active material coating layer in the electrode, increase the compaction density of the active material coating layer, and decrease the thickness of the inactive material (e.g., current collector), but this causes difficulty in wetting the electrode active layer with the electrolyte, and also slows down the transport of lithium ions in the thick electrode. Therefore, the prior art proposes that the electrode is three-dimensionally formed by punching, but the ratio of positive and negative active materials (namely, NP ratio) around the electrode hole is changed by the punching position, which may cause potential safety risks such as lithium precipitation.

Further, in order to verify the improvement of the examples of the present invention, the energy density, the cycle life, the quick charge capacity, the low temperature performance, and the like of the secondary batteries prepared in examples 1 to 10 and comparative example 1 were respectively tested, and the test results are shown in table 1 below:
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003164371710000181
Figure BDA0003164371710000191
From the above test results, it can be seen that the composite negative electrode sheet according to examples 1 to 10 of the present invention shows better rate capability and cycle stability than the secondary battery having the composite negative electrode sheet prepared by directly mixing the silicon-based material with the carbon material, in which the silicon-based material is filled in the micropores of the carbon active layer. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
from the test results of comparative example 1 and example 1, it can be seen that the SiO material and the graphite material in comparative example 1 are uniformly distributed, the ratio of SiO to graphite is the same, but no favorable space is provided for the expansion of Si during the charging and discharging processes in the system, and therefore, the cycle performance is poor; the holes in example 1 provide space for the expansion of the silicon-based material and convenient paths for the shuttling of lithium ions, so the rate capability is more excellent.
From the test results of example 1 and example 2, it is understood that when O in SiO is replaced by Si in example 1, the amount of active material actually exerting capacity is large in example 2 at the same ratio, and thus the cell energy prepared therefrom is higher. The rate capability is inferior to that of example 2 because the contact with lithium ions is affected by the dielectric effect of the O atom in example 1. In addition, the cell made in example 2 had poor cycling performance because no O atoms provided a buffer for the expansion of Si.
From the test results of example 1, example 6 and example 11, it is known that in the nano silicon carbon materials of example 6 and example 11, nano silicon is attached to the graphite surface, and the proportion of silicon particles is less than that of the Si negative electrode material with the same mass, which results in a great reduction in the cell energy density, and similarly, the graphite particles in the nano silicon carbon material are larger, which is not beneficial to lithium ion shuttling, which results in a reduction in the rate capability. In addition, the silicon surface of the nano silicon carbon material is coated by a carbon layer, so that the cycle performance is poor.
From the test results of example 6 and example 11, it is understood that increasing the mass percentage of nano-silicon while maintaining the same amount of SiC composite increases the amount of actual Si that exerts capacity, and increases the cell energy density. Because the whole content of the SiC material is unchanged, the rate capability is kept flat. But the increase of the Si content causes more expansion in the circulation process, and the cell circulation performance is reduced sharply.
From the test results of example 2 and example 3, it can be seen that when Si is substituted by Sn in example 2, the cell energy of example 3 is lower at the same ratio because the theoretical capacity of Sn is lower. In addition, Sn expands less during charge and discharge, so the cell fabricated in example 3 has better cycle performance.
From the test results of comparative example 2 and example 4, it is known that when the pore size in example 4 is increased and the same amount of Si paste is added, the filling ratio is decreased. The particles that exert capacity do not change, and therefore the energy density of the battery does not change. But the holes are increased, so that a larger space is provided for the expansion of Si particles, and the rate capability and the cycle performance of the battery are improved to a certain extent.
From the test results of example 4 and examples 2, 5 and 7, it is understood that when the amount of Si paste is increased in example 5, the filling volume ratio of the silicon negative electrode paste in the pores is as same as that in example 2, that is, 80%. The number of particles for developing capacity increases, and therefore the energy density of the battery is improved to some extent. The large pores provide room for the expansion of Si and therefore the rate capability is higher than example 2, but on par with example 4. Since the Si content was increased, the cycle back loss was increased, and the cycle performance was inferior to that of example 4. However, when the filling volume ratio of the silicon negative electrode slurry in the holes of example 7 is too high, and is as high as 95%, the space provided by the holes for the volume expansion of the silicon negative electrode material is too small, and the volume expansion effect of the negative electrode material in the charging and discharging processes cannot be effectively relieved, so that the cycle performance of the battery of example 7 is reduced. And lithium ion channels are reduced, resulting in deterioration of rate performance.
From the test results of example 1 and example 8, it is known that when the particle diameter D50 of the graphite powder used in the graphite negative electrode is too large, the compactness and film forming property of the graphite negative electrode are reduced, thereby affecting the film layer stability, resulting in a reduction in the battery cycle performance. The energy density and rate performance are on par with example 1.
From the test results of example 1 and example 9, it is known that when the compacted density of the graphite negative electrode is too low, the film stability is poor, resulting in a decrease in the battery cycle performance. The low compaction density improves the lithium ion shuttle channel to a certain extent, and the multiplying power is improved to a certain extent.
From the test results of the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 10, the amount of the filled silicon negative electrode is the same, and the energy density of the battery cell is equal; when the pore diameter of the graphite negative electrode open pore is too large and the pore volume ratio is too high, the stability of the negative electrode sheet is not improved, and the cycle performance of the battery is also influenced.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
