TABLE 2
Figure BDA0003456062980000091
From the test results of examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that, in comparative examples 1 and 2, no metal element is doped, and after the metal element is doped in the silicon-based materials of different types in examples 1 to 4, the first effect of the silicon-based materials is improved, and the first effect and the charging/discharging efficiency of the battery made of the materials are improved. According to the test results of the embodiments 1 to 4, under the condition that the doping depth and the doping amount are similar, the first efficiency of the silicon oxide material is lower and the gram capacity of the silicon oxide material is lower due to lower electronic conductivity, more side reactions and high oxygen content of the silicon oxide material, so that the first efficiency of the battery is lower; since the electronic conductivity of the silicon monoxide is lower than that of other materials, the charge/discharge efficiency is also lower; but the volume change caused by lithium intercalation and deintercalation is smaller, so that the capacity retention rate and the cell expansion rate are better.
According to the test results of the embodiment 4 and the comparative example 2, the Ge-doped silicon material can improve the lattice structure, increase the kinetics of lithium intercalation and deintercalation of the material, obviously improve the first effect of the material, and further improve the electrochemical performance of the battery. The silicon-carbon composite materials in the examples 2 and 3 have carbon components to enhance the electronic conductivity of the silicon-carbon composite materials, so that the first efficiency of the examples 2 and 3 is higher than that of the examples 1 and 4 and the comparative examples 1 and 2, and further the first efficiency and the charge/discharge efficiency of the battery are higher; meanwhile, due to the existence of the carbon component, the capacity retention rate of the battery is improved, and the expansion rate of the battery is reduced.
The elemental silicon powder and the silicon monoxide powder in comparative examples 1 and 2 are not doped with the metal element Ge, and although the gram capacity of the material is not affected, the first effect is lower than that in examples 1 and 4, and the material does not have a protective interface of a carbon material, so that more SEIs are easily generated, and the electrochemical performance parameters such as the first effect, the charge/discharge rate, the capacity retention rate, the cell expansion rate and the like of the battery are deteriorated.
A comparison of the test data according to examples 5 to 7 illustrates the effect of different doping elements on the material and cell properties. In example 5, Si and Sn cannot form a solid solution, so that the Sn element exists as Sn metal simple substance particles in a doped form on the surface of the silicon-based material, and the Sn metal simple substance can be used as a bulk phase conductive agent of the silicon-based material to increase the electronic conductivity of the silicon-based material, thereby improving the charge/discharge efficiency of the battery. In example 6, Si and Al can form two solid solutions, so that the doping form of Al on the surface of the silicon-based material exists in the form of two solid solutions, which not only can be used as a bulk conductive agent to improve the electronic conductivity of the silicon material, but also can improve the existing form of part of Si element, increase the deintercalation rate of lithium ions in the solid solutions, and improve the dynamic performance of the material. In example 7, Si and Cu have 5 or more eutectic morphologies and a plurality of solid solutions, and since Cu has high electronic conductivity, the conductivity of the material can be increased more than that of Si and Al alloy. In addition, although the Cu element can not provide capacity for lithium intercalation, the gram capacity of the material is low, the doped metal element Cu can stabilize the interface of the material, reduce the formation of SEI (solid electrolyte interphase), and improve the first effect of the silicon-based negative electrode material. Therefore, the negative electrode material of example 7 is best in all properties among examples 5 to 7.
The comparison of the test data according to examples 1, 8 to 10 and comparative examples 3, 4 illustrates the effect of metal doping depth on the electrochemical performance of the material and cell. Under the condition that the doped metal elements are the same and the doping amount is similar, the gram capacity of the cathode material is similar; with the increase of the doping depth of the metal element, the doping metal element on the surface of the silicon-based material is reduced, the first effect of the material is reduced, and further the first effect of the battery is reduced. While the element is doped on the outermost surface in the comparative example 2, the improvement on the performance of the material and the battery is limited. In comparative example 3, the element doping penetrates almost the entire interior of the particles of the base material, and the surface doping metal element is less, so that the first efficiency of the negative electrode material and the battery of comparative example 3 is lower, but the charge/discharge rate of the battery is higher, compared to example 1. And because the doping distribution of the metal elements is uniform, the surface layer has a limited effect on limiting the internal volume expansion, and the expansion rate of the battery is improved.
The comparison of the test data according to examples 1, 11 to 13 and comparative examples 1, 5 and 6 illustrates the effect of the doping amount of the metal element on the electrochemical performance of the anode material and the battery. According to examples 11 to 13, it can be seen that in the case where the doping depths of the metal elements are close, the gram capacity of the anode material decreases as the doping amount of the metal element increases, because the gram capacity of silicon is higher than that of the doped metal element; but the first effect of the negative electrode material and the electrochemical performance of the battery are improved along with the increase of the doping amount. Comparative example 5 illustrates that when the doping amount of the metal element is too small, the performance of the anode material and the battery is only slightly improved compared with comparative example 1. Comparative example 6 illustrates that the doping amount of the metal element is too high, the gram capacity of the material is reduced, and the improvement effect on the electrochemical performance of the material and the battery is also reduced; and the cost of the doping element is larger than that of the silicon element, which is not beneficial to practical application and production cost reduction.
Although the present application has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the scope of the claims, and many possible variations and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the application.
