Description

Silicon negative electrode and preparation method thereof, and all-solid-state lithium ion battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a silicon cathode and a preparation method thereof, and an all-solid-state lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the development of science and technology, the traditional graphite negative electrode cannot meet the development requirement due to the limited theoretical specific capacity of the graphite negative electrode. Researchers have turned their attention to silicon anodes with theoretical specific capacities up to 4200mAh/g, which can significantly increase the energy density of batteries due to their high specific capacities, and moreover, silicon anodes are abundant in raw materials and environmentally friendly. However, the silicon negative electrode has a fatal disadvantage that the silicon expands more than 300% in volume when lithium is inserted, because in a liquid lithium ion battery, every time the electrolyte soaks one silicon negative electrode particle, a solid electrolyte interface film is formed on the surface of the silicon particle, and the expansion of the silicon during lithium insertion and lithium removal can cause continuous fracture and formation of the solid electrolyte interface phase on the surface of the silicon particle, so that active lithium is lost, and finally, the capacity of the silicon negative electrode is rapidly reduced.
Compared with a liquid lithium ion battery, the all-solid-state lithium ion battery adopts the solid electrolyte to replace the liquid electrolyte, so that only the solid electrolyte on the surface layer can be in contact with the surface layer of the negative electrode, the repeated generation of the interface phase of the solid electrolyte can be reduced, and the silicon negative electrode has great application potential in the all-solid-state lithium ion battery. At present, in order to relieve the expansion of silicon, most of the applications are based on the combination of nano silicon and a carbon skeleton, but the application is not applicable to an all-solid-state lithium ion battery because the carbon skeleton can not conduct lithium ions, the content of silicon in the silicon-carbon negative electrode is low, the high specific capacity of silicon can not be exerted, and the carbon skeleton can react with a solid electrolyte, so that the energy density of the all-solid-state battery is reduced, and the cycle life is shortened.

Also, the use of the terms a, an, etc. do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one. The terms "connected" or "coupled" and the like are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like are used merely to indicate relative positional relationships, and when the absolute position of the object being described is changed, the relative positional relationships are changed accordingly.
The silicon negative electrode according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention will be described first in detail.
In order to provide sufficient accommodation space for silicon which expands in volume when lithium is intercalated, a porous structure is formed on the silicon negative electrode to buffer the lateral expansion of the silicon lithium intercalation layer. As shown in fig. 1, the silicon negative electrode includes: a current collector 001; and a silicon active layer formed on the surface of the current collector 001, wherein the silicon active layer comprises a plurality of silicon lithium intercalation regions 001a distributed in an island-shaped spaced manner and gaps 001b between the plurality of silicon lithium intercalation regions 001a. That is to say, a silicon active layer is formed on the surface of the current collector 001, and the silicon active layer comprises a plurality of silicon lithium intercalation regions 001a distributed in an island-shaped spaced manner and gaps 001b positioned among the silicon lithium intercalation regions 001a, so that the gaps 001b enable the silicon active layer to be formed into a porous structure, and further, a containing space can be provided for silicon with volume expansion generated during lithium intercalation, cracking and falling-off of the silicon active layer during lithium deintercalation are avoided, and the cycle life of the all-solid-state lithium ion battery is prolonged.
In some embodiments, the problem of deterioration of interface contact characteristics of the silicon active layer and the current collector 001 due to silicon expansion upon lithium intercalation may be improved by increasing the adhesion of the silicon active layer to the current collector 001. For this purpose, the silicon lithium insertion region 001a contains a binder in addition to the silicon active material, wherein the mass ratio of the silicon active material in the silicon lithium insertion region 001a is 70wt% to 99.9wt%. That is, by forming the silicon embedded lithium region 001a using a silicon active material and a binder, the silicon active material has a larger specific capacity than a carbon material, and the binder can improve the interface contact performance of the silicon embedded lithium region 001a with the current collector 001, further improving the cycle life of the all-solid-state battery. Further, the mass ratio of the silicon active material in the silicon lithium insertion region 001a may be, for example, 70wt%, 80wt%, or 99.9wt%, and compared with a dense silicon active layer, the silicon active layer of the present application may greatly increase the silicon content, so that the silicon negative electrode has a higher specific capacity, that is, by designing the components of the silicon active material and the binder, while obtaining a silicon negative electrode with a better specific capacity, the silicon active layer and the current collector 001 also have a good interface contact characteristic.
The silicon active material may be any one or more of silicon, silicon/carbon composite, silicon/titanium diboride composite, and silicon/titanium nitride composite, for example. Among them, in order to further increase the silicon content in the silicon negative electrode, silicon powder is preferably used.
The particle size of the silicon active material may be, for example, 0.01 μm to 30 μm. That is, the silicon active material may be, for example, a nanoscale powder, for example, having a particle diameter of 0.01 μm to 1 μm or less, or a micron-sized powder, for example, having a particle diameter of 1 μm to 30 μm, specifically, 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, or 30 μm. The micron-sized silicon active material can keep better interface contact characteristic with the current collector 001, and compared with nano silicon, the micron-sized silicon active material can form larger interface clearance among large-sized silicon active materials to limit interface side reaction, so that the risk of cracking and falling of the silicon active layer during lithium intercalation and deintercalation can be further reduced, and the cycle life of the all-solid-state battery can be further prolonged.
Further, a plurality of silicon lithium intercalation areas 001a are distributed on the surface of the current collector 001 in a checkerboard shape. That is, as shown in fig. 1, the silicon lithium intercalation regions 001a and the gaps 001b are alternately arranged repeatedly, so that the gaps 001b are formed around the periphery of each silicon lithium intercalation region 001a, and a larger accommodating space can be provided for silicon which expands in volume during lithium intercalation, thereby preventing the silicon active layer from cracking and falling off, and further improving the cycle life of the all-solid-state lithium ion battery. It should be noted that the shape of the silicon lithium insertion region 001a is not limited to the square shape shown in fig. 1, and the silicon lithium insertion region 001a may also be one or more of a circle, a triangle, a polygon, and a special shape, for example. The fact that the silicon embedded lithium regions 001a are distributed on the surface of the current collector 001 in a checkerboard shape means that the current collector 001 is mostly in a square structure, and when the silicon embedded lithium regions 001a are square, the silicon embedded lithium regions 001a can be arranged on the current collector 001 as much as possible, so that the performance of the all-solid-state battery is improved. In addition, the method also has the advantages of convenient design and typesetting.
Further, the area ratio of the gap 001b in the silicon active layer is 15 to 45%. That is, the area ratio of the gap 001b in the silicon active layer may be, for example, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%. Under the area ratio, on one hand, when the silicon expands due to lithium intercalation, the gap 001b can provide enough space to accommodate the expanded silicon, so that the cracking and falling of a silicon active layer can be avoided, and the cycle life of the all-solid-state lithium ion battery is further prolonged; on the other hand, more silicon lithium-embedded regions 001a can be formed on the silicon negative electrode, thereby ensuring better battery performance. If the area ratio of the gap 001b is greater than 45%, the gap 001b between any two adjacent silicon lithium-embedded regions 001a is enlarged, and the silicon lithium-embedded regions 001a formed on the limited current collector 001 are relatively reduced, so that the specific capacity of the silicon negative electrode is reduced, and the performance of the battery is influenced; if the area ratio of the gap 001b is less than 15%, the gap 001b between any two adjacent silicon lithium insertion regions 001a is smaller, and when the silicon expands in volume due to lithium insertion, the smaller gap 001b may not accommodate the silicon expanding in volume, so that the silicon active layer may crack and fall off when lithium is inserted, and the cycle life of the all-solid-state battery is reduced. Preferably, the area ratio of the gap 001b in the silicon active layer is 25 to 45%.
Further, the width of the gap 001b is 10 μm to 1mm. That is, the width of the gap 001b may be, for example, 10 μm, 20 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, 300 μm, 500 μm, 700 μm, 900 μm, 1mm, based on the consideration of allowing the battery to have better battery performance and longer service life.
Further, the binder is one or more selected from PVDF, PAA, CMC, NBR, SBR and SBS. One or more of PVDF, PAA, CMC, NBR, SBR and SBS is/are selected as the binder, so that the interface contact performance and the battery performance of the silicon lithium-embedded region 001a and the current collector 001 can be further improved. Specifically, PVDF has high dielectric constant, good chemical stability and temperature characteristics, and has a positive effect of improving the adhesive force between the silicon active layer and the current collector 001; PAA can ensure the stability of the pole piece structure in the charging and discharging process of the battery, so that polar groups with high proportion are caused, and the PAA can form a film with the surface of a silicon active material through hydrogen bonds, and has excellent cycle performance; CMC is widely used as a binder of a water-based system negative electrode material, can obtain larger battery capacity, improve the cycle life of the battery and reduce the internal resistance of the battery; the NBR has a molecular chain structure containing cyano, oil resistance is superior to that of natural rubber, compared with other rubbers, the NBR has a wider use temperature, the long-term use temperature of the NBR is 120 ℃, meanwhile, the NBR has good low-temperature resistance, and the NBR has good chemical stability and good processability; the SBR binder has high binding strength, good mechanical stability and operability, is used as a binder in the battery industry, and has good effect and stable quality; SBS has good bonding strength, and has the characteristics of high solid matter content, quick drying and low temperature resistance.
In some embodiments, the interface contact characteristics of the silicon active layer and the current collector 001 may be further improved by controlling the thickness of the silicon active layer, which is 20 μm or less. That is, the thickness of the silicon active layer may be, for example, 19 μm, 15 μm, 10 μm, 5 μm, to further improve the interface contact characteristics of the silicon active layer and the current collector 001, and to help form the gap 001b by controlling the thickness of the silicon lithium intercalation layer.
The following describes a method for manufacturing a silicon negative electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to fig. 2, and the method for manufacturing a silicon negative electrode according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes the following steps:
s1, providing a current collector 001;
s2, preparing negative electrode slurry;
s3, arranging the negative electrode slurry on the surface of the current collector 001 to form a silicon active layer,
wherein, the silicon active layer comprises a plurality of silicon lithium insertion regions 001a distributed in an island-shaped spaced manner and gaps 001b positioned between the plurality of silicon lithium insertion regions 001a.
That is, as shown in fig. 2, first, a current collector 001 is provided, then, a negative electrode slurry is prepared, and then, in step S3, the negative electrode slurry is disposed on the surface of the current collector 001 to form a silicon active layer having a plurality of silicon lithium insertion regions 001a and gaps 001b, and the plurality of silicon lithium insertion regions 001a are spaced apart in an island shape, and the gaps 001b are located between the plurality of silicon lithium insertion regions 001a, so that the gaps 001b on the silicon active layer allow the silicon active layer to be formed into a porous structure, which can provide a receiving space for silicon that expands in volume during lithium insertion, prevent the silicon active layer from cracking and falling off during lithium extraction, and improve the cycle life of the all-solid-state lithium ion battery.
The following describes each of the above S1 to S3 in detail.
First, step S1 of providing a current collector 001 is described.
The current collector 001 is at least one of a copper foil, a carbon-coated copper foil, a lithium magnesium alloy foil, a stainless steel foil and a lithium copper composite tape. That is, a copper foil, a carbon-coated copper foil, a lithium magnesium alloy foil, a stainless steel foil, and a lithium copper composite tape may be selected as the current collector 001 in consideration of the material properties and the cost.
Next, step S2, i.e., preparation of anode slurry, is explained.
In some embodiments, the negative electrode slurry includes a silicon active material, a binder, and a solvent, wherein a solid content of the negative electrode slurry is 40wt% to 70wt%. That is, 70 to 99.9 parts by mass of a silicon active material, 0.1 to 30 parts by mass of a binder, and a solvent are uniformly stirred to obtain a negative electrode slurry, and the solid content of the negative electrode slurry is made to be 40wt% to 70wt%. That is to say, by controlling the solid phase content in the cathode slurry within the above range, on one hand, the slurry has sufficient dispersibility and uniformity, and on the other hand, the silicon active layer obtained after the solvent is volatilized has higher mechanical strength, which is beneficial to improving the comprehensive performance of the all-solid-state battery.
The silicon active material and the binder are described above with reference to the silicon negative electrode, and detailed description thereof is omitted here. The solvent is not particularly limited as long as it can sufficiently disperse the silicon active material and the binder, and for example, an organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, or acetone can be selected. Next, step S3, i.e., preparation of the silicon active layer, is explained.
In some embodiments, step S3 includes printing the anode paste on the surface of the current collector 001 by a screen printing method to form a silicon active layer. That is, a silicon active layer having a porous structure is formed on the current collector 001 by screen printing, and by selecting the shape and size of the mesh of the screen, silicon active layers having different patterns of silicon embedded lithium regions and different sizes of the gaps 001b can be formed on the current collector 001.
In some embodiments, step S3 includes printing the negative electrode paste on the surface of the current collector 001 by a printing method to form a silicon active layer. That is, a silicon active layer with a porous structure is formed on the current collector 001 by a printing method, the interface contact characteristic of the silicon active layer and the current collector 001 can be further improved by controlling the process parameters of the printing method, and a silicon lithium-embedded layer which is uniformly distributed is obtained, so that the comprehensive performance of the all-solid-state battery is further improved.
