Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium secondary batteries, and relates to a porous carbon material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Because of its high theoretical specific capacity and lowest electrochemical potential, lithium metal is recognized as the negative electrode material of the next generation of high energy density battery with the greatest development prospect. However, due to the active chemical property of lithium metal, an unstable Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) is formed between the electrode and the electrolyte in the circulation process, and the electrolyte is continuously consumed, so that irreversible deposition of metal lithium is caused, and the stability is affected. Secondly, the generation of lithium dendrites can also puncture the separator causing short circuits inside the battery, creating a serious safety problem, and the formation of dead lithium can lead to low coulombic efficiency. Further, the problem of volume expansion during the cycle also causes damage and breakage of the SEI film, powdering of the material, and the like, which affect the battery life.
The existing lithium metal negative electrode has the problems of extremely large volume expansion, serious lithium dendrite growth and the like, and has great challenges in the aspects of safety, cycling stability and the like.
CN110416522A discloses a lithium-containing composite negative electrode material, which comprises: the three-dimensional framework material comprises a three-dimensional framework material with a core-shell structure and metal lithium compounded in the core shell of the three-dimensional framework material, wherein the three-dimensional framework material takes a carbon-containing cathode material as a core, the surface of the core is covered with a shell layer, the shell layer has a porous carbon structure, and the thickness of the shell layer is larger than the particle size of the core. The lithium-containing composite negative electrode material can realize the storage of double-activity lithium of lithium intercalation/lithium over intercalation and lithium deposition, improve the specific capacity of the negative electrode, enlarge the lithium deposition area to promote the uniform deposition of lithium, reduce the generation of lithium dendrites to improve the safety, and control the volume change of the negative electrode to reduce the polarization of the battery.
CN110197899A discloses a preparation method of lithium foil, which comprises: 1) acidifying carbon nano tubes, 2) preparing a spinning solution, 3) spinning and forming a film, 4) carbonizing, 5) immersing the carbon nano-fiber film serving as a cathode and a lithium metal sheet serving as an anode in an electrolyte for carrying out an electrodeposition reaction to obtain a lithium foil. Compared with the conventional lithium foil, the impedance of the surface SEI film is obviously reduced, and the lithium battery taking the matrix as the negative electrode has high energy density and excellent cycle performance.
According to the method, the carbon conductive network framework is used for adsorbing lithium metal to prepare the lithium-carbon composite negative electrode material, however, the affinity of the carbon material and metal lithium is poor, the lithium metal is deposited on the carbon material to form a large overpotential, and uneven deposition of lithium is easy to occur in the circulation process to induce the generation of lithium dendrites.
Although the generation of lithium dendrites is inhibited to a certain extent by methods such as adding a lithium-philic substance in the prior art, the problems of excessive volume expansion and some side reactions still exist, so how to further solve the problems and better improve the performance of the battery is a technical problem which needs to be solved urgently at present.

TABLE 3 Positive electrode 6mAh/cm2Performance of area capacity battery
By comprehensively comparing the data results of the examples 1 to 11 with the data results of the comparative examples 1 to 3, the pole piece prepared from the porous carbon material provided by the invention has the advantages of higher porosity, obviously reduced volume expansion rate and more obviously improved electrochemical performance.
As can be seen from the data results of example 1 and example 4, the introduction of the network-like pyrolytic carbon is beneficial to stabilizing the structure and increasing the porosity, and the first coulombic efficiency and the cycle performance of the battery are improved.
From the data results of examples 1 and 6, it is known that when the porous carbon material is coated with carbon, if the thickness is too small, the carbon substrate undergoes volume change during charge and discharge to cause cracking of the carbon layer, and the volume expansion of the electrode sheet cannot be effectively inhibited, so that the expansion rate is large; it also exposes a large amount of metallic lithium to the outside, increasing side reactions. The reason for the slight increase in cycling performance may be that a thinner carbon coating layer is more favorable for intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions.
From the data results of example 1 and example 7, it is known that when the porous carbon material is carbon-coated, the diffusion resistance of lithium ions increases due to an excessively large thickness of the porous carbon material, and lithium ions cannot rapidly diffuse into the particles during large-current charge and discharge, so that a part of metal lithium is deposited on the surface of the carbon-coated layer.
As is clear from the data results of example 1 and comparative example 1, when the porous carbon material is not coated, metallic lithium is deposited inside the particles, but is in direct contact with the electrolyte, increasing side reactions, and irreversibly consuming active lithium and the electrolyte, which drastically deteriorates the cycle performance of the battery.
As can be seen from the data results of example 1 and comparative example 2, the technical effect that can be achieved by the porous carbon material provided by the present invention cannot be achieved by the commercially available porous carbon material, because the porous carbon material provided by the present invention has an interconnected porous structure inside, and contains a lithium-philic substance capable of providing more active sites for the deposition of metallic lithium and enabling the deposition of metallic lithium inside the structure.
From the data results of example 1 and comparative example 3, it is known that when no lithium-philic substance is added to the porous carbon material, metallic lithium cannot be guided to be uniformly deposited into the particles, lithium dendrites are easily formed on the surface, and the electrolyte is consumed to increase side reactions, so that the first effect is reduced, and the performance of the battery is affected.
The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention.
