Description

Sectional type silicon oxide carbon coating method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a sectional type silicon dioxide carbon coating method.
Background
The theoretical specific capacity of the silicon-based anode material is up to 4200mAh/g, the working voltage is low (less than 0.5V), the reserves are rich, and the silicon-based anode material is a potential anode material. However, silicon (Si) undergoes an alloying/dealloying process during charge and discharge, which is accompanied by a great volume expansion (> 300%), with the consequence of a series of problems such as material breakage, active material falling off, and instability of Solid Electrolyte (SEI) film, which seriously affect battery performance and safety performance.
In contrast, silicon oxide (SiOx, 0<x is less than or equal to 2) the material can form inactive Li in the first lithium intercalation process 2 O and Li 4 SiO 4 The inert substances are used as buffer layers, so that the volume expansion in the lithium intercalation process is obviously smaller than that of a pure silicon anode, but the expansion rate can reach 200 percent, andsilicon oxideIs stored in a memoryAmong other drawbacks are low conductivity and low first-order efficiency. To remedy the above-mentioned drawbacks, common and commercially available methods are: the surface of the silicon oxide is coated with a layer of carbon, and the coated carbon material can greatly improve the overall conductivity of the material; in the process of lithium intercalation and deintercalation, the surface carbon layer has a certain limiting effect on the expansion of the silicon, and the whole cycle performance of the material can be improved.
For the silicon oxide carbon coating method capable of meeting the industrial scale, a continuous CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) vapor deposition rotary kiln is generally adopted in the industry, namely, the silicon oxide is continuously fed and discharged in the kiln, and at the temperature, the material is coated by carbon decomposed by carbon source gas in the kiln. Although large continuous CVD rotary kiln can be manufactured with industrial yield, the fatal disadvantage is that caking is generated in the carbon coating process, and the inside of the kiln is blocked. The kiln is blocked and then can be dredged and cleaned after being cooled, which produces an excessively short production period and severely restricts the productivity. Compared with an intermittent coating kiln, the material is always in a coating area in the intermittent kiln, so that coating uniformity is ensured, but the material cannot be detected in the middle of production, and only data detection can be finally performed, so that the adjustment of intermediate process parameters is not facilitated. The continuous furnace is limited by the furnace structure, the decomposition area of the carbon source gas is limited, the material is coated in the movement process, the coating time is short, more carbon source gas is needed under the condition of the same carbon content, the coating uniformity is relatively poor, and the material performance is slightly poor.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art in a specific case.
The prior commercialized silicon oxide CVD carbon coating technology is that the material is directly coated with carbon in a single furnace. Because carbon source gas can be rapidly decomposed at high temperature, the decomposition area is limited, the actual effective coating time of materials is short, the coating flow is large, the coating carbon content value is inevitably reached, but the coating is uneven, and the electrochemical performance of the materials is poor due to uneven coating. Under the same condition, the time of blocking the kiln is also related to the flow of the carbon source gas.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for coating silicon dioxide carbon in a sectional manner, which comprises the following steps:
1) Crushing the silicon oxide to a micron level to obtain micron-level silicon oxide;
2) Putting the micron-sized silicon oxide obtained in the step 1) into a pre-coating furnace of a continuous CVD device, and introducing coated carbon source gas for pre-coating;
3) Feeding the pre-coated micron-sized silicon oxide obtained in the step 2) into a main coating furnace of a continuous CVD device, and introducing coated carbon source gas for main coating;
4) And (3) screening, scattering and demagnetizing the coated micron-sized silicon oxide obtained in the step (3) to obtain the silicon oxide anode material.
According to the sectional type silicon dioxide carbon coating method provided by the embodiment of the invention, sectional type carbon coating is adopted, the material is pre-coated in the pre-coating furnace, so that a carbon layer is obtained on the surface of the silicon dioxide, the fluidity of the material is increased by the carbon layer, the turning opportunity of the silicon dioxide in the process of main coating can be greatly increased, and equal opportunity of obtaining the carbon content of the silicon dioxide particles is given. Because the material is coated in advance before entering the main coating furnace, the gas amount of the carbon source gas introduced into the main coating furnace is relatively low in unit time, the gas flow of the carbon source gas is reduced, the wall-forming time is further delayed, and the integral operation period of the CVD equipment can be effectively prolonged. It can be seen that the sectional coating has significant advantages, firstly, the material has enough movement path in the furnace, the material also undergoes more turnover, and the carbon coating time is long enough, so that the carbon layer is more uniform; secondly, through setting up the carbon source air current in the cladding stove in advance, suitably reduce the carbon source air current in the main cladding stove, can make under the same carbon content circumstances, the cladding obtains the more even silica material of carbon layer, and then promotes the electrochemical performance of material to can effectively reduce the carbon caking in the device, promote the operating duration of equipment.
In step 1) of the embodiment of the invention, the silicon oxide is crushed to the micron level to obtain micron-level silicon oxide, so that the subsequent coating is facilitated.
Preferably, in step 1), the silica is pulverized by using a jet mill. The jet mill works in such a way that high-pressure gas is accelerated to high-speed air flow through a jet pipe, and the air drives material particles to accelerate, so that the material is crashed by collision, friction and shearing.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in step 1), the particle size Dv50 of the micron-sized silica is 5 to 10um; preferably, the particle size Dv50 of the microscale silica is 7 to 8 μm.
Preferably, in step 1), the micron-sized silica has a narrow distribution Span value of less than 1.2 during comminution.
In step 2) of the embodiment of the invention, the micron-sized silicon oxide is firstly pre-coated by adopting the carbon source gas, so that a carbon layer is obtained on the surface of the silicon oxide, the fluidity of materials is increased by the carbon layer, the turning opportunity of the silicon oxide in the main coating process can be greatly increased, and the equal opportunity of obtaining the carbon content of the silicon oxide particles is given.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in step 2), the carbon source gas is a small molecule hydrocarbon. Preferably, the carbon source gas is at least one of methane and acetylene. More preferably, the coated carbon source gas is acetylene.
In the step 2), the flow rate of the carbon source gas is 65-90L/min.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in step 2), the temperature of the cladding is 700-900 ℃ in the pre-cladding furnace.
Specifically, the blanking frequency of the pre-cladding furnace is 10-60 Hz. In order to maintain the consistency of the feed rate per hour, the screw conveyor operating parameters were adjusted so that the feed rate was 10 to 100kg/h at the time of pre-coating to ensure that the time of the material passing through the high temperature zone was sufficient. Preferably, the speed of the feed is 30-60 kg/h during pre-coating.
In one embodiment of the invention, in the step 2), the rotating speed in the pre-coating furnace is 10-18 min/turn. Specifically, the rotating speed of the first furnace liner in the pre-cladding furnace is 10-18 min/turn.
Preferably, in step 2), the main coating furnace is fed in a clockwise spiral direction.
Preferably, in step 2), nitrogen is used as a protective gas in the pre-coating furnace. The flow rate of the nitrogen is 10-100L/min.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in step 2), the content of the contributing cladding carbon in the pre-cladding is 0.1% to 1% (mass fraction); preferably, the content of the contributing coating carbon in the pre-coating is 0.5-1% (mass fraction). It is to be noted that the carbon content herein refers to the mass fraction of the carbon mass of the pre-coating in the silica after the carbon coating, i.e., the ratio of the mass of carbon/(the mass of carbon+the silica).
In step 3) of the embodiment of the invention, the carbon source gas is adopted to carry out main coating on the pre-coated micron-sized silicon oxide, and as the materials are pre-coated before entering the main coating furnace, the gas amount unit time of the carbon source gas introduced into the main coating furnace is relatively low, the gas flow of the carbon source is reduced, the wall junction time can be delayed, and the integral operation period of the CVD equipment can be effectively improved.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in step 3), the carbon source gas is a small molecule hydrocarbon. Preferably, the carbon source gas is at least one of methane and acetylene. More preferably, the coated carbon source gas is acetylene.
In the step 3), the flow rate of the carbon source gas is 40-75L/min during the primary coating. In the prior art, when carbon coating is carried out by adopting a single furnace time, in order to ensure the coating effect, the flow rate of the carbon source gas is generally 70-100L/min, but due to the limited decomposition area of the carbon source gas, the coating time is short, the coating uniformity is relatively poor, and carbon caking is easy to form in the device.
In one embodiment of the invention, in the step 3), the feeding speed is 10-100 kg/h during the main cladding; preferably, the speed of the feed is 40-60 kg/h in the primary coating.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in step 3), the rotational speed in the main coating furnace is 20 to 25 min/turn. Specifically, the rotating speed of the second furnace liner is 20-25 min/turn in the main cladding furnace. By controlling the feeding speed, the time of the material in the coating furnace can be effectively controlled, and the adjustment of the rotating speed is matched, so that the uniform coating of the carbon layer of the pre-coated silica in the main coating furnace is realized.
Preferably, the main cladding furnace is fed in a clockwise spiral direction.
In the step 3), the temperature of cladding in the main cladding furnace is 900-1000 ℃; preferably, the temperature of the cladding is 850-1050 ℃ in the main cladding furnace.
In the step 3), the carbon content of the contribution coating is 2-6% (mass fraction) in the main coating; preferably, the content of the contributing coating carbon in the primary coating is 2-5% (mass fraction).

TABLE 1
From Table 1, it is understood that the present invention can increase the operation time of the CVD apparatus by at least one time or more from the operation cycle. The silicon oxide itself is not conductive and is conductive after being coated with a carbon layer, so the conductivity of the material is used here to characterize the coating uniformity (the smaller the value of the resistivity, the better the conductivity). As can be seen from fig. 2, the material surface of fig. 2 (a) is rough, the material surface of fig. 2 (b) is smooth, and the material surface coated twice is smooth, because the coating of the carbon layer is uniform. As can be seen from table 1 and fig. 2: under the condition of equivalent carbon content, the material prepared by the invention has better conductive performance and better coating effect; due to good coating uniformity, li can be ensured during button performance test + Is embedded into each silicon particle as much as possible, so the capacity and the first effect are improved.
