Description

Silicon-carbon negative electrode material, preparation method thereof and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, relates to a lithium ion battery negative electrode material, and in particular relates to a silicon-carbon negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery.
Background
The disclosure of this background section is only intended to increase the understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
In the negative electrode material of the lithium ion battery, silicon is superior to other materials (such as modified natural graphite or artificial graphite) in theoretical capacity (3579 mAh/g) and initial potential (0.4V), so that the silicon can be used as a high-capacity substitute. However, silicon undergoes a significant volume change (280%) during lithiation and delithiation, wherein pull-ring stresses are generated at the surface of the particles during the first lithiation of the silicon particles and each delithiation of the amorphous particles. It can lead to cracking, shattering, loss of electrical contact, and excessive growth of electronically insulating Solid Electrolyte Interfaces (SEI) of the silicon particles. These effects deteriorate the cycle performance and prevent the use of silicon.
The porous carbon material structure can be used as a silicon load matrix to effectively relieve stress, so that the structural stability of silicon is enhanced. However, the inventors have found that non-uniform deposition results in a large surface area of the porous structure forming more SEI film and irreversible lithium consumption, while porous carbon is rich in sp 3 The structure also causes poor electron conductivity, and thus, the porous carbon material may reduce the energy density of the battery.
The spongy aerogel is used as a silicon load matrix, so that the volume expansion stress can be inhibited, the chemical reaction between silicon and electrolyte can be inhibited, and the electronic conductivity of the material can be improved. At present, aerogel can be prepared by chitin or graphene, and then the silicon-loaded aerogel composite material is obtained by performing magnesian reduction. However, the inventor researches and discovers that the aerogel structure lacks framework support, the volume expansion of the silicon oxide is too large in the circulation process, and the matrix is difficult to support, so that the structural stability is poor, and the circulation and rate performance are reduced.
Disclosure of Invention

The graphene oxide is favorable for forming an aerogel precursor formed by dispersing porous carbon between graphene sheets to form a framework, but the graphene oxide has poor conductive performance and is unfavorable for improving the electrochemical performance of the graphene oxide as an electrode material, so that the graphene oxide precursor is pyrolyzed at the temperature of 700-900 ℃ to convert the graphene oxide into graphene, and the aerogel formed by dispersing porous carbon between graphene sheets to form the framework can be obtained. When silicon grains are distributed in the pores of the aerogel, the chemical vapor deposition method is selected, so that the distribution of the silicon grains in the pores of the aerogel is facilitated, and the capacity of the silicon grains serving as a negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery is improved.

Table 1 shows that:
comparison of examples 1-3 shows that the aerogel form of the silicon carbon negative electrode substrate exhibits higher volume retention and lower volume expansion due to the confinement of the aerogel framework, relieving the strain forces upon full silicon charge. The structure is prevented from being damaged by stress to generate more irregular contact surfaces, higher irreversible lithium consumption is generated, and the battery capacity is reduced.
Comparison of examples 2-4 shows that the silicon-carbon precursor with porous carbon as the substrate shows higher capacity, because the porous carbon-rich pore structure can generate more stable silicon-carbon bonding form, and the graphene planar structure is more, and the bonded silicon-carbon structure is easy to remove in the subsequent treatment process, thus the porous carbon-rich porous silicon-carbon precursor has low initial efficiency and low capacity.
Comparison of example 3 and example 5 shows that silane deposition precursor substrates can improve more capacity performance than directly reducing silicon dioxide in the structure, since the deposited silicon is mostly small particle monocrystalline silicon that can be utilized, while the silicon grains produced by the magnesian reduction process have an oversized grain size or a larger ratio of unreduced silicon.
