Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
The technical solution of the present application was completed based on the following findings: in the related technology, nano-silicon is uniformly dispersed into a solution by using a dispersing agent such as Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), and then a metal organic framework compound (MOFs) precursor is added to grow on the surface of the nano-silicon; then reducing and carbonizing the porous material by using reducing metal to obtain the N-doped carbon-coated porous material, and specifically comprising the following steps of:
(1) Uniformly mixing nano silicon and CTAB in solvent water to prepare a dispersible solution;
(2) Adding metal salt into the solution obtained in the step (1), adding organic ligands (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, lactic acid and the like) for reaction, and centrifuging to obtain the MOFs-coated nano silicon composite material;
(3) And (3) putting the material prepared in the step (2) and reducing metals (Cu, fe and Al) into a tubular furnace filled with argon for full carbonization to obtain nitrogen-doped Si @ MOFs with a buffer structure.
However, this technique has the following disadvantages:
(1) The preparation method comprises the following steps of uniformly dispersing nano-silicon into a solution through a dispersing agent such as CTAB (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide), and then adding an MOFs precursor, wherein the MOFs is intended to grow on the surface of the nano-silicon, but the surface of the nano-silicon is not modified in the mode, so that the MOFs can grow unevenly;
(2) The carbonization through a tube furnace filled with argon generally needs to be heated to over 800 ℃, the energy consumption is very high, and the production cost is higher for enterprise production.
(3) In the carbonization process, reducing metal is used, and hydrogen, oxygen and other components in the MOFs are volatilized, so that the atom utilization rate is not high, and raw materials are wasted.
To this end, in a first aspect of the invention, a silicon-based material is proposed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the silicon-based material includes a core, a first cladding layer, and a second cladding layer.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the core comprises silicon-based material particles, which are negatively charged. The inventor finds that by adopting the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity, metal ions in the metal organic framework compound can be actively close to the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity according to the principle of opposite attraction, so that the growth uniformity of the metal organic framework compound can be improved, a first coating layer with the metal organic framework compound uniformly distributed is formed on the surface of the silicon-based material particles, and the three-dimensional network structure provided by the uniformly grown metal organic framework compound can better inhibit the volume expansion of silicon, so that the silicon can provide stable high capacity in the battery circulation process.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further reduce the volume expansion of the silicon-based material, the particle size of the core in the present application is 20nm to 2000nm, and may be, for example, 20nm, 50nm, 100nm, 200nm, 500nm, 1000nm, 1500nm, 2000nm, or the like. The inventors found that if the particle size of the core is too large, the structure of the formed first coating layer is unstable, and the first coating layer cannot effectively suppress the volume expansion of silicon during charge and discharge; if the particle size of the core is too small, the cost becomes too high. According to the invention, by controlling the particle size of the core, the cost can be controlled, and the stability of the formed first coating structure can be ensured, so that the volume expansion of silicon can be further inhibited in the charging and discharging processes.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further reduce the volume expansion of the silicon-based material, the particle size of the silicon-based material particles in the core is 20nm to 1000nm, preferably 20nm to 300nm. The inventors found that if the particle size of the silicon-based material particles is too large, the structure of the formed first coating layer is unstable, and the first coating layer cannot effectively suppress the volume expansion of silicon during charge and discharge; if the particle size of the silicon-based material particles is too small, the cost becomes too high. According to the invention, by controlling the particle size of the silicon-based material particles, the cost can be controlled, and the stability of the formed first coating layer structure can be ensured, so that the volume expansion of silicon can be further inhibited in the charging and discharging processes.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the silicon-based material particles have the general formula SiO X Wherein X is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2. Therefore, compared with graphite negative electrode materials, the silicon-based material has higher capacity, so that the capacity of the lithium battery can be improved by taking the silicon-based material as the negative electrode material.
According to an embodiment of the invention, a first coating layer is formed on at least a portion of the surface of the inner core, the first coating layer comprising a metal organic framework compound. Specifically, as the silicon-based material core with electronegativity is adopted, the first coating layer with uniformly distributed metal framework compounds can be formed on the surface of the silicon-based material core, so that the volume expansion of the silicon-based material is reduced.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further reduce the volume expansion of the silicon-based material, the thickness of the first cladding layer is 10nm to 3000nm, and may be, for example, 10nm, 100nm, 500nm, 1000nm, 2000nm, 3000nm, or the like. The inventors have found that if the thickness of the first clad layer is too thick, li is not favored during charge and discharge + Insertion/removal of (a); if the thickness of the first cladding layer is too thin, the volume expansion of silicon in the charge and discharge process cannot be effectively inhibited, and the collapse of crystal lattices is further caused. By controlling the thickness of the first coating layer, the invention is not only beneficial to Li in the charge and discharge process + The insertion/extraction of (A) and (B) can also ensure the stability of the silicon-based material, thereby further being beneficial to inhibiting the volume expansion of silicon in the charging and discharging processes.
According to the bookIn an embodiment of the invention, the composition of the metal-organic framework compound in the first coating layer is not particularly limited, and the metal ion in the metal-organic framework compound may include Cu 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Co 2+ The organic ligand in the metal-organic framework compound may include at least one of trimesic acid, terephthalic acid, and dimethylimidazole. This makes it possible to form a three-dimensional network structure on the surface of the inner core, and thus to suppress the volume expansion of silicon more effectively.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the second cladding layer comprises a carbon material, the second cladding layer being at least partially embedded in the first cladding layer. Specifically, the second coating layer including a carbon material formed on the first coating layer can improve the electrical conductivity of the silicon-based material, and the second coating layer is partially embedded in the pores of the metal-organic framework compound, i.e., the second coating layer and the metal-organic framework compound of the first coating layer cooperate to suppress the volume expansion of silicon.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further reduce the volume expansion of the silicon-based material, the thickness of the second cladding layer is 10nm to 3000nm, and may be, for example, 10nm, 100nm, 500nm, 1000nm, 2000nm, 3000nm, etc. The inventors found that if the thickness of the second clad layer is too thick, li is not favored + Insertion/removal of (a); if the thickness of the second cladding layer is too thin, the silicon volume expansion cannot be suppressed better. According to the invention, by controlling the thickness of the second coating layer, the conductivity can be enhanced, and the stability of the silicon-based material can be ensured, so that the second coating layer can further inhibit the volume expansion of silicon in the charging and discharging processes.
It should be noted that the composition of the carbon material in the second coating layer is not particularly limited as long as the purpose of providing a certain electrical conductivity to the bulk silicon-based material and inhibiting the volume expansion of silicon together with the first coating layer can be achieved, and the carbon material can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and as a preferred scheme, the carbon material may include at least one of graphite, multi-walled carbon nanotube, single-walled carbon nanotube, graphene, and biomass carbon.
Therefore, the silicon-based material disclosed by the invention has lower volume expansion and higher conductivity, so that the specific capacity and the cycle performance of a lithium battery can be improved by taking the silicon-based material as a negative electrode material.
In a second aspect of the invention, the invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned silicon-based material. According to an embodiment of the invention, with reference to fig. 1, the method comprises the following steps:
s100: providing negatively charged particles of a silicon-based material
In the step, by providing silicon-based material particles with electronegativity, according to the principle of opposite attraction, in the subsequent mixing process of the silicon-based material particles, metal salt, organic ligand and solvent, metal ions in the metal salt can actively approach the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity, so that the growth uniformity of the metal organic framework compound can be improved, a first coating layer with the metal organic framework compound uniformly distributed is formed on the surfaces of the silicon-based material particles, and the three-dimensional network structure provided by the uniformly grown metal organic framework compound can better inhibit the volume expansion of silicon, so that the silicon-based material particles can provide stable high capacity in the battery circulation process.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity may be prepared by the following steps:
s101: mixing surfactant, solvent and silicon-based material particles
In the step, the surface of the silicon-based material particles is modified by the surfactant, and negatively charged groups dissociated by the surfactant in the solution are attached to the surface of the nanometer silicon, so that the silicon-based material particles can be negatively charged, and the active approach of metal ions in the metal salt is facilitated according to the principle of opposite attraction, so that the growth uniformity of the metal organic framework compound can be improved, a first coating layer with the uniformly distributed metal organic framework compound is formed on the surface of the silicon-based material particles, and the three-dimensional network structure provided by the uniformly grown metal organic framework compound can better inhibit the volume expansion of silicon, so that the silicon-based material particles can provide stable high capacity in the battery circulation process.
According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the temperature of mixing is between 0 ℃ and 100 ℃. The inventors found that if the mixing temperature is too high, the evaporation rate becomes too high and the coating becomes nonuniform, and if the mixing temperature is too low, the reaction rate becomes too slow. According to the invention, by controlling the temperature conditions, the solvent in the reaction system can be further removed, and silicon-based material particles with electronegativity can be further obtained.
According to the specific embodiment of the invention, the mass ratio of the silicon-based material particles to the surfactant is 100: (1-5). The inventors found that if the ratio of the silicon-based material particles to the surfactant is too high, the electrochemical performance may be degraded by introducing the surfactant during the preparation of the battery, and if the ratio of the silicon-based material particles to the surfactant is too low, the silicon-based material particles may not be completely modified. According to the invention, the proportion of the surfactant to the silicon-based material particles is controlled, so that the modification of the surfaces of the silicon-based material particles can be further facilitated, and the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity can be further obtained.
According to the specific embodiment of the present invention, the composition of the above surfactant is not particularly limited as long as the purpose of negatively charging the silicon-based material particles can be achieved, and the surfactant may be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and as a preferable embodiment, the surfactant may include at least one of PSS, CTAB and PVA.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the composition of the above solvent is not particularly limited, and may include at least one of water, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and propanol, for example.
S102: solid-liquid separation of the mixed solution obtained in step S101
In the step, liquid is removed through solid-liquid separation, and silicon-based material particles with electronegativity are obtained. The solid-liquid separation method is not particularly limited, and for example, centrifugal separation may be used.
S200: mixing metal salt, organic ligand, solvent and silicon-based material particles with electronegativity
In the step, metal salt, organic ligand and solvent are mixed and stirred with silicon-based material particles with electronegativity, so that a first coating layer comprising a metal organic framework compound can be formed on the surfaces of the silicon-based material particles, metal ions in the metal salt can actively approach the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity, the uniformity of the growth of the metal organic framework compound can be improved, the first coating layer with the metal organic framework compound uniformly distributed is formed on the surfaces of the silicon-based material particles, and a three-dimensional network structure provided by the uniformly grown metal organic framework compound can better inhibit the volume expansion of silicon, so that the silicon-based material particles can provide stable high capacity in the battery circulation process.
According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the temperature of mixing is between 40 ℃ and 60 ℃. The inventors have found that if the mixing temperature is too high, the metal organic framework compound in the first cladding layer cannot be uniformly grown on the silicon-based material particles, and if the mixing temperature is too low, the reaction is too slow, and in the present invention, by controlling the above temperature conditions, it is possible to further contribute to improving the uniformity of the growth of the metal organic framework compound, and further to more effectively suppress the volume expansion of silicon.
According to the specific embodiment of the invention, the mass ratio of the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity, the metal salt and the organic ligand is (1-5): (1-50): (1-50). The inventors have found that if the metal salt and organic ligand are used in too high an amount, the first coating layer formed is too thick to be beneficial to Li during charge and discharge + If the amount of the metal salt and the organic ligand is too low, the first coating layer formed is too thin to effectively suppress the volume expansion of silicon during the charge and discharge processes. The invention can further help to inhibit the volume expansion of silicon by controlling the proportion of the metal salt, the organic ligand and the silicon-based material particles with electronegativity.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the composition of the above solvent is not particularly limited, and may include, for example, at least one of ethanol, ethylene glycol, and propanol.
S300: mixing and ball-milling a carbon material with the silicon-based material particles having the first coating layer obtained in S200
In this step, a second coating layer including a carbon material is formed on the first coating layer by mixing and ball-milling the carbon material with the silicon-based material particles having the first coating layer obtained in S200, and the second coating layer is at least partially embedded in the first coating layer. By mixing and ball-milling the carbon material with the silicon-based material particles having the first coating layer, on the one hand, a second coating layer comprising the carbon material can be formed on the first coating layer, improving the conductivity of the silicon-based material; on the other hand, partial second coating layer can be embedded into the pore channels of the metal organic framework compound, namely the second coating layer and the metal organic framework compound of the first coating layer cooperate to inhibit the volume expansion of silicon; on the other hand, directly form the second cladding layer including the carbon material through the ball-milling mode, both improved the convenience of operation, reduced the reaction energy consumption, improved atom utilization ratio again, and then avoided the problem that hydrogen, oxygen etc. that the high temperature carbonization process brought volatilize and cause the atom utilization ratio not high, raw materials are extravagant and the power consumption is high.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the silicon-based material particles having the first coating layer to the carbon material is 1: (1-4). The inventors found that if the amount of the carbon material is too high, the capacity of the material is reduced, and if the amount of the carbon material is too low, the second coating layer cannot be uniformly coated on the surface of the first coating layer. According to the invention, by controlling the proportion of the silicon-based material particles and the carbon material of the first coating layer, on one hand, a second coating layer comprising the carbon material can be formed on the first coating layer, so that the conductivity of the silicon-based material is improved; on the other hand, partial second coating layer can be embedded into the pore channels of the metal organic framework compound, namely the second coating layer and the metal organic framework compound of the first coating layer cooperatively inhibit the volume expansion of silicon; on the other hand, directly form the second cladding layer including the carbon material through the ball-milling mode, both improved the convenience of operation, reduced the reaction energy consumption, improved atom utilization ratio again, and then avoided the problem that hydrogen, oxygen etc. that the high temperature carbonization process brought volatilize and cause the atom utilization ratio not high, raw materials are extravagant and the power consumption is high. The manner of adding the carbon material is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, one-time addition or multiple-time addition.
According to the specific embodiment of the invention, the ball milling conditions are as follows: the ball material ratio is (5-10): 1, the rotating speed is 100r/min-500r/min, and the ball milling time is 1h-6h. The inventors have found that if the ball/material ratio is too high, the yield of the objective product is lowered, and if the ball/material ratio is too low, the polishing is not uniform. If the rotating speed is too high, the energy consumption is too high, and if the rotating speed is too low, the ball milling is not uniform. If the ball milling time is too long, meaningless energy consumption is caused, and if the ball milling time is too short, the ball milling is not uniform. According to the invention, by controlling the ball milling time, the second coating layer comprising the carbon material is favorably formed on the first coating layer, the conductivity of the silicon-based material is improved, and the second coating layer is at least partially embedded into the first coating layer and cooperates with the metal organic framework compound of the first coating layer to inhibit the volume expansion of silicon, the convenience of operation can be improved, the reaction energy consumption is reduced, and the atom utilization rate is improved, so that the problems of low atom utilization rate, raw material waste and high energy consumption caused by volatilization of components such as hydrogen, oxygen and the like in the high-temperature carbonization process are solved.
