Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a coated graphite anode material and a solid-state battery.
Background
In recent years, with the development of new energy automobiles, electronic communication devices and large-scale energy storage grids, consumers have increasingly demanded lithium ion batteries which have high capacity, long life, high stability and rapid charge and discharge performance. Although the liquid lithium ion battery with the high-nickel positive electrode material matched with the high-capacity silicon-carbon negative electrode can achieve the energy density of 300Wh/kg, the unsafe performance of the liquid lithium ion battery seriously hinders the popularization and application of the technology, and particularly, the spontaneous combustion event of the new energy automobile which is endlessly layered in recent years is the first new energy for vigorous development, and the popularization and application of the new energy automobile are seriously hindered.
The use of stable solid state electrolytes instead of flammable organic liquid electrolytes is an important approach to overcome the challenges of lithium batteries and to construct lithium batteries with higher safety performance and energy density. Among the numerous solid electrolytes, sulfide electrolytes have ion conductivity comparable to that of liquid electrolytes, and sulfide electrolytes are soft in texture, can achieve close contact of electrodes by simple cold pressing, and exhibit high cold pressing ion conductivity. This is an incomparable advantage to other electrolytes, and sulfide solid state electrolytes are therefore important candidates for achieving all-solid state batteries.
The anode materials matched with sulfide solid electrolyte which are widely studied at present are lithium metal and silicon carbon anode materials, which respectively have the defects of lithium dendrite, serious interface reaction, huge volume expansion and the like, and are difficult to break through commercial application in a short time. The graphite negative electrode material is used as the most widely used liquid lithium ion battery negative electrode material at present, has the advantages of low cost, excellent structural stability and the like, and the graphite as the sulfide all-solid-state battery negative electrode is matched with the high-nickel ternary positive electrode material, so that the safety performance of the battery can be improved while the energy density is improved. The graphite is used as the cathode of the sulfide all-solid-state battery, firstly, the electrochemical window of the sulfide solid-state electrolyte is narrower, and the graphite can be continuously decomposed to generate a passivation film under the low potential of the graphite, so that the rate performance of the battery is poor; secondly, the contact property of the graphite and sulfide electrolyte in the composite negative electrode is poor, the void ratio of the pole piece is overlarge, and the void between the graphite and the sulfide electrolyte is gradually expanded along with the volume expansion and contraction caused by the lithium intercalation and deintercalation of the graphite, so that the negative electrode material is invalid, and the cycle performance is reduced.
The particle size, morphology, specific surface area and the like of sulfide electrolyte in the graphite and the composite negative electrode can be controlled to effectively reduce the void ratio of the composite negative electrode and improve the contact between the graphite and the composite negative electrode, but the capacity of the battery still can be rapidly attenuated along with the progress of the lithiation and delithiation process of the graphite.
Specifically, the prior art has the problem that sulfide solid electrolyte is continuously decomposed due to the low potential of a graphite electrode; the lithium intercalation potential of the graphite is low (about 0.1V), and the electrochemical window of most sulfide solid electrolyte is narrow (1.6-1.7V), so that the sulfide solid electrolyte can be reduced on the surface of the low-potential graphite to generate Li 2 S, liP with low ion conductivity and the like, thereby preventing the transmission of lithium ions and limiting the rate capability of the battery. The contact property of graphite and sulfide solid electrolyte is continuously deteriorated in the circulating process; the simple solid phase mixing is difficult to realize the excellent contact of sulfide and graphite, more gaps are generated in the cold pressing process, so that the electron and ion transmission between the sulfide and the graphite is poor, and along with the circulation, about 10 percent of volume expansion occurs in the lithium intercalation and deintercalation process of the graphite, so that the gaps are continuously expanded, the contact between the sulfide and the graphite is further damaged, and the circulation performance is rapidly attenuated.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a new anode material having a low volume expansion rate and a low interfacial resistance, thereby improving cycle performance and rate performance of the battery.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art described above. Therefore, the invention provides a preparation method of a coated graphite anode material and a solid-state battery. The coated graphite anode material prepared by the preparation method has low volume expansion rate and low interface resistance, and can obviously improve the cycle stability and rate capability of the battery when applied to the battery.

Product effect test
1. Structural characterization
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a coated graphite anode material prepared in example 1; namely, the core of the coated graphite anode material prepared in example 1 is graphite, and the shell is amorphous carbon-containing lithium titanate.
FIG. 2 is a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image and an energy spectrum (EDS) image of the coated graphite anode material prepared in example 1; as can be seen from SEM, the coated graphite anode material prepared in the embodiment 1 consists of core graphite and shell lithium titanate, wherein small lithium titanate particles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the graphite, so that the graphite is firmly coated, the contact between the graphite and sulfide solid electrolyte can be effectively reduced, and the lithium guiding performance of the material is improved.
FIG. 3 is a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) of comparative sample 1 prepared in comparative example 1; the comparative sample 1 has obvious uneven surface distribution, bare graphite leakage and no obvious lithium titanate coating layer on the surface. This is due to the difficulty in uniformly distributing the titanium oxide solids on the graphite surface and producing a uniform coating of lithium titanate. Compared with titanium oxide, tiN can be dissolved in the solution to realize uniform liquid phase cladding, and the contact between a titanium source and graphite is effectively improved.
2. Electrochemical performance test
Samples 1-5 prepared in the examples and comparative samples 1-3 prepared in the comparative examples were used as active materials, respectively, and the active materials were mixed with LiP 6S5 Cl, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) according to 60:40: and mixing the materials according to the mass ratio of 1 to form a composite negative electrode, and obtaining a negative electrode plate through a rolling and slicing process. The negative electrode sheet was put into a polyetheretherketone tube having a diameter of 10mm, then 100mg of LiP 6S5 Cl was weighed into the tube, press-molded using a pressure of 12MPa and brought into close contact with the negative electrode sheet, finally a sheet of Li-In alloy was added to the other side of the solid electrolyte, and press-molded using a pressure of 360MPa, to prepare a half cell having a three-layer structure (composite negative electrode/solid electrolyte/Li-In alloy).
Electrochemical impedance testing: the internal resistance of the half cell was measured by electrochemical impedance test (EIS) to determine the contact and lithium conductivity of the obtained anode material with the sulfide solid electrolyte, the electrochemical impedance spectrum of sample 1 is shown in fig. 4 (the abscissa "im-enhancement'" in fig. 4 represents the real part of the impedance, and the ordinate "-im-enhancement" "the imaginary part of the impedance), and the internal resistances of the half cells composed of the anode materials obtained in samples 1 to 5 and comparative samples 1 to 3 are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
By comparing the internal resistances of the half batteries consisting of the samples 1-5 and the comparative samples 1-3, the contact between the sample 1 and the sulfide solid electrolyte is found to be best, and the combination of the sample 1 and the sulfide solid electrolyte realizes the better and lowest internal resistance, which is beneficial to the conduction of lithium ions and electrons in the composite negative electrode and is convenient for realizing better multiplying power performance. The sample 1 well realizes the coating of lithium titanate on graphite, effectively inhibits the contact between graphite and sulfide solid electrolyte, and simultaneously, lithium titanate can be used as an intermediate layer to rapidly transfer lithium ions and electrons. If the TiN is replaced by titanium oxide or the lithium hydroxide is replaced by lithium acetate and the polyvinylpyrrolidone is replaced by polyacrylic acid, the internal resistance of the prepared sample is obviously improved. Therefore, in the preparation process of the anode material, other substances can not be replaced at will, and the anode material has selectivity to the types of raw materials.
First coulombic efficiency test: the half cells prepared according to the above method were subjected to a first coulombic efficiency (first effect) test, the first coulombic efficiency (ICE) of sample 1 was 96.48% (as shown in fig. 5), and the half cells assembled respectively with samples 1 to 5 and comparative samples 1 to 3 were subjected to the first coulombic efficiency test, the results of which are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
By comparing the first coulombic efficiencies of the half cells of samples 1-5 and comparative samples 1-3, it can be seen that the first coulombic efficiency of sample 1 is highest, which means that the surface lithium titanate is coated most uniformly, and the uniformly coated lithium titanate effectively reduces the contact between graphite and sulfide solid electrolyte, so that the side reaction of graphite and sulfide solid electrolyte is correspondingly reduced, and the first effect is improved. While the first coulomb efficiency of the comparative samples 1 to 3 prepared in comparative examples 1 to 3 was remarkably reduced, it was found that the negative electrode material of the present invention was not optionally replaced with other kinds of substances during the preparation process, and the present invention was selective in the kinds of raw materials.
Rate performance test conditions: the half cell of the above sample 1 composition was subjected to charge and discharge tests at 60℃at currents of 0.5C, 1C, 2C and 3C and cut-off voltages of-0.61 to 1.8V, and the half cell was subjected to test at a pressure of 15MPa, and the results are shown in FIG. 6.
As can be seen from fig. 6, sample 1 exhibited excellent rate performance, which was able to maintain a specific capacity of 309.2mAh/g even at a rate of 4C. This fully demonstrates that the coated graphite anode material prepared by the invention has excellent rate capability and commercial potential.
