Description

Silicon monoxide composite material, preparation method and application thereof, and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a silicon monoxide composite material, a preparation method and application thereof, and a lithium ion battery.
Background
The maximum theoretical specific capacity of silicon can reach 4200mAh/g, and the silicon negative electrode material cannot realize wide-range commercial application in time because the silicon negative electrode material has several disadvantages while having many advantages. Firstly, the silicon negative electrode material undergoes volume change of more than 300% in the charging and discharging processes, such high volume expansion and shrinkage easily leads to the pulverization of the electrode material, the separation of the electrode material from the contact with the current collector and the electrode conductive network, and the volume change brings about the generation of new surfaces, so that a new solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) needs to be formed, thereby leading to the large consumption of the electrolyte and further leading to the substantial reduction of the cycle life. On the other hand, the electrical conductivity and lithium ion diffusion speed of silicon are lower than those of graphite, which limits the performance of silicon under high-current and high-power conditions.
The theoretical specific capacity of the silicon monoxide is more than 2000mAh/g, although the capacity is reduced compared with the silicon, the cycle performance is greatly improved because the lithium ions and the silica material react to generate Li in the first charge-discharge process of the silicon monoxide 2 O and Li 2 SiO 4 The volume expansion of the negative electrode material can be effectively relieved, but the volume change still experiences 200wt% in the charging and discharging process, and the normal graphite expansion is about 10%; after the material compounded by the silicon oxide and the graphite expands and contracts during charging and discharging, the graphite and the silicon oxide are changed from the initial surface contact into point contact, so that the silicon oxide loses electric contact and is deactivated, and the reason is that the battery cycle performance of the silicon carbon material as an electrode material is rapidly attenuated.
At present, commercial silicon oxide composite negative electrode materials are generally subjected to carbon coating and/or compounding with zero strain materials so as to improve the pulverization of electrode materials and avoid the direct contact of the silicon oxide materials with electrolyte, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery:
for example, CN111170364a in the prior art discloses a carbon-coated silicon-based titanium-niobium composite material, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium ion battery, wherein a titanium source and a niobium source are used as raw materials to perform a first calcination process, and then the silicon source, a first calcination product, and a carbon source are mixed to perform a second calcination process; the carbon-coated silicon-based titanium-niobium composite material prepared by the secondary calcination method has a smaller volume effect in the charge-discharge process, and after the carbon-coated silicon-based titanium-niobium composite material is used as a negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery, the first discharge gram capacity can reach more than 1000mAh/g, but the gram capacity can only be kept below 400mAh/g after 50 cycles, and the capacity retention rate is only 40%.
Therefore, in view of the above problems, there is a need in the art for an electrode material capable of improving the expansion and contraction of the silicon oxide, and when the electrode material is used as a negative electrode material of a battery, the cycle performance of the battery can be further improved while the capacity of the battery is ensured.
