The theoretical capacity of silicon is up to 4200mAh/g, the detachment potential is lower (less than 0.5V), the voltage platform is slightly higher than that of graphite, lithium is difficult to separate out during charging, the safety performance is better, the earth reserves are rich, the environment is friendly, the research and application potential is high, and the silicon-silicon composite electrode material becomes a hot spot for research and development in novel electrode materials. However, in the process of charging and discharging silicon, the lithium intercalation and deintercalation cycle can generate serious silicon volume expansion and contraction, so that the collapse of a material structure and the pulverization and the peeling of an electrode are caused, the connection between an active material and a current collector is influenced, and the electron transmission is not facilitated; on the other hand, the volume effect causes the solid electrolyte interface (SEI film) formed between the silicon-based material and the electrolyte to be destroyed, and forms a new SEI film at the new interface, the active material and the electrolyte are gradually lost, and the battery capacity is further reduced sharply, and the cycle performance is seriously deteriorated.
In order to solve the technical problem, the prior art mainly adopts the following processes: and (3) carrying out wet grinding on silicon powder in a solvent, adding graphite or other carbon materials for wet mixing after the granularity is qualified, carrying out atomization drying on the uniformly mixed slurry by a spray dryer, compounding the spray-dried powder with the carbon materials such as asphalt, and carrying out high-temperature carbonization and mechanical shaping to obtain the silicon-carbon composite material. However, the carbon material used in the wet mixing has smaller specific surface, the available pore number is small, nano silicon particles are enriched on the surface layer of the carbon material, and the space provided by the carbon material for the volume expansion of silicon is limited; when the silicon-carbon composite material is compounded with carbon materials such as asphalt and the like, mechanical mixing is adopted, physical acting force is relied among material particles, the particle size of spray-dried powder is larger, asphalt particles are coated on the surface of the spray-dried powder and are filled in the pores of the powder, and a carbonized carbon layer is not compact and has poor coating effect, so that the capacity of the silicon-carbon composite material is exerted and the cycle performance is poor.

Detailed Description
For a better explanation of the present application, the main content of the present application is further elucidated with reference to the embodiments of the present application, and is further elucidated with reference to the specific examples, but the content of the present application is not limited to the following examples.
The inventor provides a porous silicon-carbon-based composite material, which comprises a porous silicon-carbon composite bracket, nano silicon particles and a coated carbon layer;
wherein the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold comprises uniformly dispersed nano silicon-containing particles; the nano silicon particles are attached to the surface of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket and are dispersed inside and outside the pores of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket;
The mass sum of the nano silicon-containing particles and the nano silicon particles accounts for 30-85 wt% of the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material.
The porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold is a composite scaffold containing carbon and nano silicon-containing particles, wherein the carbon structure is a porous carbon structure formed by carbonizing an organic carbon source at high temperature; the nano silicon-containing particles are uniformly distributed in the porous carbon structure and are tightly combined with the porous carbon structure. The term "the nano silicon particles are attached to the surface of the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold and dispersed inside and outside the pores of the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold" means that the nano silicon particles are uniformly dispersed in the pores and on the surface of the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold, namely: some or all of the nano silicon particles enter the pores of the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold.
In the present application, the content of the silicon element in the porous silicon-carbon based composite material is preferably 30wt% to 85wt% in terms of mass fraction, and the content of the silicon element in the porous silicon-carbon based composite material may be any one of 32wt%, 40wt%, 46wt%, 53wt%, 64wt%, 70wt%, 79wt% by way of example; preferably, the content of silicon element in the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material is 35-70 wt%; the content of silicon element in the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material is 40-55wt%, namely the content of silicon element and the content of carbon element in the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material are about 1:1, so that the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material has excellent electrochemical performance, the silicon element provides higher specific capacity, the carbon element promotes the conductivity of the material, reduces the internal resistance, improves the dynamics of nano silicon in the anode material, and simultaneously isolates the erosion of electrolyte, thereby the material has high first reversible capacity, high first coulomb efficiency and good cycle performance.
In order to achieve the ratio of the sum of the masses of the nano silicon-containing particles and the nano silicon particles in the porous silicon-carbon based composite material, the mass ratio of the nano silicon-containing particles in the porous silicon-carbon composite support and the distribution of the silicon element content in the nano silicon particles and the coated carbon layer can be adjusted within a certain range. However, the content of nano silicon-containing particles in the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket is not too high or too low, because the content of nano silicon-containing particles is too high, the specific surface area of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket is too low, the chemical vapor deposition of organic silicon source gas on the bracket is not facilitated, the nano silicon-containing particles are easy to agglomerate, the dispersion uniformity is poor, the coating effect of the porous carbon material is poor, and therefore the first coulomb efficiency and the cycle performance of the silicon-carbon composite material cannot be obviously improved; if the content of the nano silicon-containing particles is too low, the capacity of the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material is affected; meanwhile, the nano silicon particles on the porous silicon-carbon composite support are not too high, because more nano silicon particles are distributed on the surface of the porous silicon-carbon composite support, bare silicon nano particles can appear when the proportion of coated carbon is low, the silicon nano particles can be oxidized, the capacity and the first coulombic efficiency of the porous silicon-carbon composite material are affected, and the porous silicon-carbon composite material is in direct contact with electrolyte in the charge-discharge cycle process of the battery, so that the cycle performance of the cathode material is affected. Therefore, in the porous silicon-carbon based composite material, the mass ratio of the nano silicon-containing particles can be 10-50 wt%, and the mass ratio of the porous carbon material is 10-65 wt%; the mass ratio of the nano silicon particles is 5-40 wt%, and the mass ratio of the coated carbon layer is 5-30 wt%. In addition, in the preparation process, the mass ratio of the nano silicon-containing particles in the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold can be 5-60 wt%, the mass ratio of the porous carbon material can be 40-95 wt%, and preferably, the mass ratio of the nano silicon-containing particles in the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold can be 20-35 wt%. And further preferably, the mass ratio of the nano silicon particles in the porous silicon carbon-based composite material may be 20wt% to 35wt%, and the mass ratio of the coated carbon layer may be 5wt% to 10wt%.
In the application, the nano silicon-containing particles can be at least one of crystalline silicon powder, silicon oxide, silicon dioxide and silicon alloy with short-range order, wherein the median particle diameter (D50) size of the nano silicon-containing particles is not higher than 100nm, and meanwhile, the grain size is not higher than 10nm, so that the mechanical fragmentation caused by volume expansion is relieved in the charging and discharging process, and meanwhile, the dynamic property is improved. In addition, when the nano silicon-containing particles are silicon alloy, the silicon alloy adopted by the nano silicon-containing particles contains silicon, metal X and oxygen, wherein the metal X can be any one or a combination of a plurality of magnesium, copper, aluminum, zinc, iron, manganese, titanium, lithium, calcium and the like.
In order to enable nano silicon particles to be better deposited on the surface of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket and enter the pores of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket, the specific surface area of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket is not too low, and the pore diameter of the pores of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket is not too high. The porous silicon-carbon composite bracket with the excessively low specific surface area is easy to cause less deposition of nano silicon particles, is mainly concentrated on the surface of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket, and has poor distribution uniformity; too small specific surface area and too large pore diameter can also lead to aggregation and concentration of silicon-containing nano particles, poor uniformity of distribution in the porous carbon material, insufficient space when the silicon volume expands in the charging and discharging process, and influence the cycle performance of the cathode based on the composite material. In addition, the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket has high specific surface area, is favorable for immersing nano silicon particles, has higher requirements on materials, and has higher preparation process difficulty. Therefore, in the application, the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold is preferably a porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold with a specific surface area of 350-950m 2 Per g, pore volume of 0.2-0.6cm 3 Porous Si-C composite scaffold per g, and further preferably having a specific surface area of 400-800m 2 Per g, pore volume of 0.25-0.5cm 3 Porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold/g.
In some embodiments, the average particle size of the nano silicon particles is not higher than 10nm, so that the absolute expansion volume of the nano silicon particles is reduced, the dynamic characteristics of the nano silicon particles are improved, and the phenomenon that the distance of the nano silicon particles for excessively increasing the volume expansion of lithium ions to intercalate into a silicon material in the charge and discharge process of a battery is influenced due to poor conductivity of the nano silicon particles is avoided, so that the speed of lithium ion deintercalation and the cycle stability of the battery are influenced. Still more preferably, the average particle diameter of the nano-silicon particles is 2 to 5nm. The nano silicon particles with the particle size of less than 3nm are selected, so that the nano silicon particles can enter the pores of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket, and the anode material with better cycle stability can be obtained.
In some embodiments, the porous silicon carbon based composite has a specific surface area of 2 to 20m 2 /g。
In order to better realize the application, the inventor also provides a preparation method of the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material, which comprises the following steps:
Providing a carbonaceous organic material and a siliceous raw material having a particle size of a nano-scale;
mixing the carbon-containing organic matter and the silicon-containing raw material, and drying and curing to obtain a silicon-containing composite material precursor;
carbonizing the silicon-containing composite material precursor to obtain a porous silicon-carbon composite bracket;
utilizing organic silicon source gas to chemically vapor deposit nano silicon particles on the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket, and enabling part or all of the nano silicon particles to enter the pores of the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket to obtain a composite material;
and coating the composite material by using a carbon source at a temperature for decomposing the carbon source to obtain the porous silicon-carbon-based composite material.
Wherein the nanoscale silicon-containing feedstock is used to provide nanoscale silicon-containing particles. In the actual preparation process, the nano silicon-containing particles can be obtained by wet grinding of silicon-containing raw materials in a solvent or dry grinding without a solvent, wherein the solvent adopted in the wet grinding can be one or more of methanol, benzyl alcohol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, butanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, amyl alcohol, neopentyl alcohol and octanol. Wherein the grinding process is a conventional process in the prior art, and thus is not described in detail in the present application.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the carbonaceous organics to the siliceous feedstock is (100:5) - (100:60). Wherein the silicon-containing feedstock herein is understood to be nano-silicon-containing particles.
In the preparation process provided by the application, the raw materials for forming the porous silicon-carbon composite scaffold adopt nano silicon-containing particles and carbon-containing organic matters serving as carbon sources to be mixed to form a precursor, and then the precursor is dried, solidified and carbonized. Compared with a silicon-carbon composite material formed by taking carbon materials such as graphite and the like as raw materials and silicon-containing raw materials, the silicon-containing material can enter the composite bracket, the distribution in the composite bracket is more uniform, the uniformity is better, and the connection between carbon and silicon-containing raw materials in the composite is more compact. In addition, the porous silicon-carbon composite bracket formed by the method has smaller aperture and larger specific surface area, is more beneficial to the deposition of nano silicon particles and provides sufficient volume expansion space for silicon under working conditions.
In the present application, the carbon-containing organic matter may be a carbon-containing polymer or may be a monomer that can form a carbon-containing polymer by polymerization, wherein the monomer may be a carbon-containing monomer or a carbon-containing oligomer.
