Description

Silicon-carbon negative electrode material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of secondary battery materials and preparation methods thereof, in particular to a silicon-carbon negative electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In the current power battery and consumer battery markets, lithium ion batteries become an absolute mainstream energy storage system because of great advantages in terms of voltage, service life, self-discharge, energy density and the like. And also because of the continuous improvement demands of different use scenes on the endurance of the lithium ion battery, improving the Energy Density (ED) (volume energy density VED, mass energy density GED) of the lithium ion battery is a final target on the premise that other basic performances are met.
Both the positive and negative electrode materials affect the energy density of the lithium ion battery. The positive electrode material has reached the limit of capacity exertion in the process use or has low lifting ratio (150/175 mAh/g of lithium iron phosphate, 190/205mAh/g of nickel cobalt manganese ternary positive electrode and 142/148mAh/g of lithium manganate). Graphite is a commonly used commercial negative electrode material due to its high stability and proper voltage, but graphite negative electrodes have also reached a capacity and first efficiency compromise (355/372 mAh/g). In order to break through the bottleneck of energy density, silicon-based negative electrodes are gradually used by consumer batteries and start to develop into power batteries, the main value of the silicon-based negative electrodes is ten times as high as graphite (4200 mAh/g vs 372 mAh/g), but at the same time, because the silicon-based negative electrodes can accommodate a large amount of lithium ions for alloying reaction, the silicon-based negative electrodes can generate volume expansion of more than 300% in the process of lithium deintercalation of battery circulation. The volume expansion can significantly affect the cycling performance of the silicon-based negative electrode material.
The route of the silicon-based negative electrode mainly comprises a silicon-oxygen route, a pre-lithiated silicon-oxygen material and a silicon-carbon material. In the silicon-oxygen route, the first effect of the cathode material is low (76%), which can cause a great deal of loss of active lithium ions of the cathode; the pre-lithiated silica material can compensate the problem of low first effect of the silica material to a certain extent, but the lithium source used in the pre-lithiation process is expensive, and the first effect is improved to be close to the limit (82 percent); most of the traditional silicon-carbon materials are prepared by mixing and grinding a silicon source and a carbon source so as to reduce the particle size of the silicon source, the lower limit of the particle size of silicon particles in the grinding method is very close to that of silicon particles (in the shape of a sheet with the thickness of 20nm and the length of 100 nm), but the obtained silicon-carbon materials still cannot solve the structural impact on a battery cell caused by lithium intercalation expansion.
In summary, the current industrial lead-in verification proves that the common scheme route of the silicon-based negative electrode reaches the design limit of capacity: 390mAh/g, 420mAh/g, 400mAh/g; and the problem of volume expansion of the obtained silicon-based anode material still cannot be well solved, namely, the cycle performance and other electrochemical performances of the battery comprising the silicon-based anode material are still to be further improved.

The present test example also tested the particle diameters of silicon-based components in the silicon-carbon anode materials obtained in examples 1 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 3. The specific test method is to adopt FIB-TEM to carry out optical observation, but the particle size of the silicon-based component is generally less than 10nm, and the optical observation under the scale can only obtain the difference of brightness and contrast, so that the silicon, namely the particle size of the component, can only be obtained within the range of 2-10 nm, but cannot obtain a definite numerical value. But within this scale, it has been possible to alleviate as much as possible the volume change of the silicon-based component during delithiation. The application performance of the silicon-carbon anode material obtained by the invention in a lithium ion battery is improved.
The silicon carbon negative electrode materials obtained in examples 1 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were also tested for tap density. The electrochemical performance of the obtained silicon-carbon anode material in the button cell is tested, and the specific method is as follows:
testing electrode formula: si84% + CNTs slurry +10% PAA-Li (lithiated PAA binder) +5% sp; in the CNTs slurry, the solids are CNTs and CMC mixed according to the mass ratio of 4:6, wherein the mass of the solids accounts for 1% of the mass of all solids in the test electrode formula.
The counter electrode is a lithium metal sheet.
A battery case: 2032, and a spring piece, foam nickel or a gasket are arranged between the test electrode or the negative electrode and the battery case to avoid breaking, so that the test result can be accurately reflected.
Electrolyte solution: A1M solution of lithium hexafluorophosphate in carbonate contains 15% FEC+VC1-2%.
Test electrode coat weight: about 4mg/cm 2
Test voltage range: 2V-0.005V, or 0.8V-0.005V.
The testing process comprises the following steps:
standing for 8-12 h;0.05C lithium is intercalated to 5mV and kept stand for 5min;50uA intercalates lithium to 5mV and stands for 5min;10uA intercalates lithium to 5mV and stands for 5min; delithiation to 2V at 0.05C and standing for 5min.
And testing to obtain the gram specific capacity, the first effect and the thickness increase percentage of the obtained silicon-carbon anode material when the lithium intercalation thickness is full.
At the same time, the cycle number (compared with the first week of 0.33C rate) at which the gram specific capacity decays to 90% was tested at 0.33C charge-discharge rate (1C current of 1700 mAh/g).
The test results are shown in Table 2.

Table 2 test results illustrate:
examples 1-3 used the same carbon matrix (PV-0.7 g/cc) and deposited silicon at different levels, with increasing amounts of silicon deposited, the denser the material, the fewer internal voids remaining, the better the electron and ion conductivity, and the denser the material, with a consequent increase in true and tap densities and a higher onset of performance in button cells. Meanwhile, as the deposition amount of the silicon-based component is increased, and the lithium intercalation expansion of the silicon-based component is larger, the increase percentage of the full intercalation thickness in the button cell pole piece is inevitably large, so that the attenuation is accelerated. ρ of example 1 TD Outside its preferred range, it is seen that the apparent material first efficiency is lower because the pores inside the carbon matrix are underutilized, which would result in a portion of the "dead lithium" present in the lithium-intercalated silicon-carbon negative electrode material during delithiation.
Examples 4, 5 and comparative example 1, with example 2 as a comparison, show the difference in performance of the carbon-coated silicon-carbon negative electrode material of the present invention itself and in a button cell. The increase of the carbon coating amount has a slight reduction effect on the true density and tap density of the silicon-carbon anode material, and the reduction effect on the capacity of the silicon-carbon anode material is more obvious because the capacity of the silicon-based component is far greater than that of the deposited carbon. Meanwhile, because of the agglomeration of small particles and the reduction of the specific surface area of the particles caused by the increase of the carbon coating, the first effect of the silicon-carbon anode material is improved to a certain extent. While less carbon coating, especially no carbon coating in comparative example 1, will have an important impact on the cycling performance of the silicon carbon negative electrode material designed according to the present invention in a button cell: without or with less carbon coating, more SEI components will be formed due to the sensitivity of the silicon-based component to the electrolyte, thereby increasing the resistance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material during cycling, resulting in rapid decay of cycling.
The silicon-based component in the silicon-carbon anode material designed by the invention should exist in the pore volume of the porous carbon skeleton in a great part. While examples 6, 7 and comparative example 2 were compared with example 2, although the lithium intercalation capacities were similar, i.e., the total lithium intercalation capacities provided by the silicon-based component and the porous carbon skeleton were similar, the carbon matrix PV used was 0.47g/cc, 0.92g/cc, 0.11g/cc, respectively, and at the same amount of silicon-based component deposition, example 6 and comparative example 2 were even lower to 0.11g/cc due to insufficient pore volume (the carbon matrix PV used in example 6 was less than the lower limit of the preferred range, and the comparative example was even more lower than the lower limit of the defined range), resulting in deposition of a certain amount of silicon on the outer layer of the particles, forming a pure silicon coating, and comparative example 2 was even more preferred. Whereas the silicon deposition in example 7 does not fully utilize the pores within the carbon matrix. Comparative example 2> example 6> example 2> example 7 were made in terms of true density and tap density. Because of the existence of the pure silicon coating layer, the first effect of the silicon-carbon anode material in the button cell in the comparative example 1 is improved, meanwhile, because the expansion of the silicon-based component is fully restrained by the porous carbon matrix, the lithium intercalation expansion of the obtained silicon-carbon anode material is increased, and further, because the expansion is overlarge, ion and electron bridge breakage in the pole piece is caused, and the cycle attenuation of the battery is accelerated.
Examples 8, 9 and comparative example 3 were compared with example 2 using carbon substrates having different strengths in the order of strength of example 9> example 2> example 8> comparative example 3. Because the porous carbon skeleton has opposite relation between isotropic strength uniformity and graphitization degree, and the high graphitization degree usually corresponds to the porous carbon skeleton with higher true density, and the porous carbon skeleton with high graphitization degree is beneficial to the first effect of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material designed by the invention, the relation between the true density and tap density of the four is as follows: comparative example 3> example 9> example 2> example 8; the first effect relation of the button cell is as follows: comparative example 3> example 9> example 2> example 8. However, it should be noted that the high true density of the porous carbon skeleton as in comparative example 3 is not different from that of graphite because of the relationship between true density of the porous carbon skeleton and graphitization degree and strength, because too high true density would result in a decrease in the uniformity of strength of the porous carbon skeleton in isotropy due to higher graphitization degree: in particular, example 8 is below the preferable range, so that it has a better expansion suppressing effect; comparative example 3 exceeded the upper limit of the defined range, but rather reduced the uniformity of the expansion suppressing effect in all directions inside the resultant silicon carbon negative electrode material due to the increase in graphitization degree, so the expansion and cycle relationship in the button cell was: example 8> example 2> example 9> comparative example 3.
Test example 2
This test example uses the silicon carbon negative electrode materials and commercial graphite materials (purchased from Jiangxi-purple-cell technology Co., ltd., raw materials were artificial and touched by raw materials) obtained in the examples and comparative examples as negative electrode active materials (wherein the silicon carbon negative electrode materials were represented by the following table 3) and 9-series ternary materials (purchased from Jiangmen-Kogyo Co., ltd., the molar content of nickel was about 90%) as positive electrode materials, and a soft pack battery having an NP ratio of 1.08 was designed. And the obtained soft-packed battery is subjected to electrochemical test under the conditions of 0.5C charge multiplying power and 1C discharge multiplying power within the voltage range of 2.5-4.2V, and the initial effect, gram specific capacity, the thickness increase percentage of the negative plate when lithium is fully embedded and the number of turns when the capacity is attenuated to 80% at 25 ℃ and 45 ℃ of the soft-packed battery are specifically tested. Some of the design parameters and the results are shown in Table 3.
Table 3 performance of the silicon carbon negative electrode materials obtained in examples 1 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 3 in soft pack batteries
Table 3 results illustrate:
the silicon carbon negative electrode materials obtained in example 2 were used for the tests with the serial numbers of 1 to 3, and negative electrode sheets were prepared according to the same negative electrode formulation (96.6%). And when the first effect of the negative electrode obtained by accounting the NP ratio is the same as that of the positive electrode, the silicon-carbon doping amount provided by the invention is 10.3%, so that when the gram capacity of the negative electrode is designed at 420mAh/g, the first effect of the full cell is determined by the first effect of the negative electrode by taking the positive electrode material as a reference, and when the using amount of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is further improved, and the gram capacity of the negative electrode is designed at 500mAh/g and 630 mAh/g. Meanwhile, as the usage amount of the silicon-carbon anode material is increased, the expansion ratio of anode lithium intercalation is increased; meanwhile, the bridge is broken by electrons and ions in the circulating process of the negative electrode plate in the full cell more easily, so that the circulating life is reduced.
In the soft pack batteries of numbers 4 to 5 and 10, the silicon carbon negative electrode materials used were obtained in examples 4, 5 and comparative example 1 in this order, and the negative electrode active formulation was designed using the same negative electrode gram capacity as that of the soft pack battery of number 2. The results were similar to the trend of the results for the button cell in table 2, and even in the case of no adequate carbon coating, even in comparative example 1, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material in the full cell was insufficiently protected, a large amount of SEI was accumulated, and limited active lithium ions in the positive electrode material were continuously consumed in the cycle, resulting in cycle degradation.
In the soft pack batteries of nos. 6 to 7 and 11, the silicon carbon negative electrode materials used were sequentially from examples 6, 7 and comparative example 2, and the design of the negative electrode gram capacity of the soft pack battery and the formulation of the negative electrode active material were the same as those of the soft pack battery of No. 2. The trend of the test results of the soft pack full cell is similar to the test results of the button cell in table 2: in the matched porous carbon skeleton Kong Rongxia, the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon anode material is reasonably controlled, and the volume inside the material can be fully utilized to relieve the impact of the lithium intercalation expansion on the cell structure and the cycle performance; in the abundant porous carbon skeleton Kong Rongxia, the cycle performance of the full cell is obviously improved, but the initial effect is insufficient, so that the usage amount of the silicon-carbon anode material is increased; in the case of the shortage, even as in the case of the very few porous carbon frameworks Kong Rongxia of comparative example 2, there was a significant silicon layer in the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, and it was not sufficiently protected by the carbon coating layer during the cycling, thereby causing a similar cycle acceleration decay phenomenon as the button cell.
In the soft pack batteries of serial nos. 8 to 9 and 12, the silicon carbon negative electrode materials used were sequentially from examples 8, 9 and comparative example 3, and the negative electrode gram capacity design and the negative electrode active material formulation of the soft pack battery were the same as those of the soft pack battery of serial No. 2. The trend of the test result of the full electricity is similar to that of the test result of the button cell: the greater the strength of the porous carbon skeleton, the more the lithium intercalation expansion of the silicon-based component in the silicon-carbon negative electrode material can be restrained. However, also because the strength of the porous carbon skeleton and the graphitization degree are opposite, the increase of the strength of the porous carbon skeleton can reduce the first effect of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material, as shown in the silicon-carbon negative electrode material obtained in comparative example 3, although the porous carbon skeleton can obviously inhibit the lithium intercalation expansion of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material and ensure the cycle performance, the low first effect of the porous carbon skeleton can obviously increase the use amount of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material under the same design of gram capacity of the negative electrode, and the increase of the BoM cost of cell production is brought.
In conclusion, the silicon-carbon anode material provided by the invention can improve the comprehensive performances such as cycle performance, safety performance (volume change), first effect and the like under the condition of extremely small volume expansion through structural design and parameter constraint. Is expected to be widely applied in the fields of energy storage batteries, 3C batteries and power batteries.
