可选地,热处理的温度为600℃~1000℃,具体可以是600℃、700℃、800℃、900℃或1000℃等,但并不仅限于所列举的数值,该数值范围内其他未列举的数值同样适用,可选地,热处理的温度为700℃~900℃。经过多次试验发现,热处理的温度过高,单晶硅的生长速率加快,颗粒尺寸也逐渐增大。热处理温度过低,歧化反应速率下降,影响硅氧材料的歧化程度。
可选地,所述热处理的时间为4h~10h,具体可以是4h、5h、6h、7h、8h、9h或10h等,但并不仅限于所列举的数值,该数值范围内其他未列举的数值同样适用。经过多次试验发现,在上述时间范围内,随着热处理时间增加,纳米硅的数量也逐渐增加,但纳米硅的颗粒尺寸不会发生太大的变化,从而使得硅氧材料充分歧化生成足量的纳米硅,有利于提高负极材料的电化学性能。
在本实施例中,通过热处理,可以使得硅氧材料进行充分的歧化,即使得硅氧材料自身发生氧化还原反应,歧化生成纳米硅,有利于提高负极材料的电化学性能。
作为本申请可选的技术方案,可选所述硅氧材料为氧化亚硅SiO。
作为本申请可选的技术方案,在对硅氧材料进行热处理之前,所述方法还包括:
对硅氧材料进行碳包覆,所述碳包覆包括气相包碳和固相包碳中的至少一种。
可以理解地,在所述硅氧材料进行碳包覆,因为碳层较为疏松,存在大量微孔道,而后续的锂盐可以通过碳包覆层的微孔道,渗透过碳包覆层而在硅氧材料表面进行反应,得到的负极材料中的碳包覆层依然是位于最外层。
作为本申请可选的技术方案,采用气相包碳时,将所述硅氧材料在保护性气氛下升温至600℃~1000℃,通入有机碳源气体,保温0.5h~10h后冷却。
在一些实施例中,所述有机碳源气体包括烃类,所述烃类包括甲烷、乙烯、乙炔和苯中的至少一种。
作为本申请可选的技术方案,采用固相包碳时,将所述硅氧材料与碳源融合0.5h~2h后,将得到的碳混合物在600℃~1000℃下碳化2h~6h,冷却。
在一些实施例中,所述碳源包括聚合物、糖类、有机酸和沥青中的至少一种。
S200,在保护性气氛或真空下将所述热处理后的硅氧材料与锂源混合后,进行烧结,得到负极材料。
作为本申请可选的技术方案,所述锂源包括金属锂、碳酸锂、氢氧化锂或醋酸锂中的至少一种。
作为本申请可选的技术方案,所述热处理后的硅氧材料与锂源的摩尔比为(1.5~7):1,具体可以是1.5:1、2:1、3:1、4:1、5:1、6:1或7:1等,但并不仅限于所列举的数值,该数值范围内其他未列举的数值同样适用。经过多次试验发现,当热处理后的硅氧材料和锂源的摩尔比过高(即硅氧材料过多),会硅氧材料不能充分转化成Li 2Si 2O 5,从而影响负极材料的加工性能,导致负极材料的首效较低;当硅氧材料和锂源的摩尔比过低(即锂源过多),则得不到理想的负极材料。可选地,所述热处理后的硅氧材料与锂源的摩尔比为(2.5~5):1。
在一些实施方式中,所述混合在混合设备中进行。
作为本申请可选的技术方案,所述保护性气氛包括氮气、氦气、氖气、氩气、氪气和氙气中的至少一种。
可选地,所述烧结的温度为300℃~900℃,具体可以是300℃、400℃、500℃、600℃、700℃、800℃或900℃等,但并不仅限于所列举的数值,该数值范围内其他未列举的数值同样适用,可选为500℃~800℃。当烧结温度过高,会导致反应剧烈,硅晶粒急剧长大,影响负极材料的循环性能;当烧结温度过低,导致无法生成Li 2Si 2O 5
可选地,所述烧结的时间为2h~8h,更具体地,可以是2h、3h、4h、5h、6h、7h或8h等,但并不仅限于所列举的数值,该数值范围内其他未列举的数值同样适用,可以理解地,充分烧结,可以将硅氧化物与锂源充分反应生成Li 2Si 2O 5
作为本申请可选的技术方案,所述方法还包括:在烧结后,对烧结产品进行后处理,所述后处理包括水洗和酸洗中的至少一种。可以理解地,烧结产物中可能含有Li 2O、Li 4SiO 4、Li 2Si 2O 3等水溶性含锂化合物,而Li 2Si 2O 5不溶于水,通过水洗可以去除烧结产物的杂质相;同样地,通过酸洗也可以去除这些杂质相,从而提高负极材料的首效及循环稳定性。当采用酸洗时,酸溶液例如可以是盐酸、硝酸或硫酸。
作为本申请所述制备方法的进一步可选技术方案,所述方法包括以下步骤:
在保护性气氛或真空下对氧化亚硅进行热处理,热处理温度为700℃~900℃,热处理时间为4h~10h,得到热处理后的氧化亚硅;
在保护性气氛或真空下,按照摩尔比为(2.5~5):1将所述热处理后的氧化亚硅与锂源混合后,进行烧结,烧结的温度为500℃~800℃,烧结的时间为2h~8h,对烧结产品进行水洗和/或酸洗,得到负极材料。

表1
Figure PCTCN2020128783-appb-000001
实施例7的热处理温度过低,导致Li 2Si 2O 5的晶粒过大,使得其循环保持率和容量保持率都较差。
实施例8的热处理温度过高,导致硅氧材料歧化程度不合适,材料的容量和首效均较低。
对比例1没有对氧化亚硅材料进行锂掺杂,导致材料的首效较低。
对比例2没有对氧化亚硅材料进行热处理就直接进行锂掺杂,导致产生的Li 2Si 2O 5晶粒过大,使得其首次库伦效率、循环性能和倍率性能都明显较差。
综合上述实施例和对比例可以看出,实施例1-6的负极材料通过对氧化亚硅材料进行锂掺杂,大幅提高了材料的首次库伦效率,并且通过控制生成的Li 2Si 2O 5晶粒尺寸,使得晶粒的平均粒径小于20nm,最终使材料在获得高的首次库伦效率的同时,提高了材料的循环性能。此外,Li 2Si 2O 5具有良好的锂离子传导特性,结合其较小的晶粒尺寸,更好地保证锂离子顺畅地完成嵌/脱锂反应,表现出良 好的倍率性能。
申请人声明,本申请通过上述实施例来说明本申请的详细工艺设备和工艺流程,但本申请并不局限于上述详细工艺设备和工艺流程,即不意味着本申请必须依赖上述详细工艺设备和工艺流程才能实施。所属技术领域的技术人员应该明了,对本申请的任何改进,对本申请产品各原料的等效替换及辅助成分的添加、具体方式的选择等,均落在本申请的保护范围和公开范围之内。
