Description

一种掺杂氧硅材料及其制备方法和应用 技术领域
本申请涉及电池技术领域,具体涉及一种掺杂氧硅材料及其制备方法和应用。
技术背景
在电池领域,存在较多负极材料,但是随着人们对高能量密度电池的需求日益增加,含硅的负极材料进入研究者的视野;其中,二氧化硅和硅制备的氧化亚硅材料具有较高的理论比容量,较低的储锂反应电压平台,低于纯硅的体积膨胀且制备成本低廉,因此成为替代石墨的极具潜力的一类负极材料。氧化亚硅的导电性较差,虽然可以通过碳包覆基本解决,但氧化亚硅在循环过程中会消耗较多的锂生成Li2O、Li4SiO4、Li2SiO5等不可逆物相,导致其首效较低。
为了提高氧化亚硅首次效率,通过提前让氧化亚硅中的氧和金属结合,预锂或者预其他金属的方法。但是由于锂和钾高活性,在室温或者更低温度,都能预锂,提前让锂或者钾嵌入氧化亚硅中和其中的氧结合,避免电池充电过程中锂和氧的结合生产不可逆的锂氧化合物或者锂的硅酸盐,该方法的优点为锂或者钾嵌入氧化亚硅中的温度低,可以保持预锂后,生产硅相的硅颗粒尺寸小于1nm,优化参数后甚至能做到更小;缺点也比较明显,预锂后颗粒中存在硅酸锂,生产的Li4SiO4和Li2SiO3的耐水性较差,溶于水中显碱性,上述材料在制备过程负极浆料过程中,浆料的稳定性不足,可能会出现有气体产生或者发生硅氧化物的颗粒与粘结剂成分凝集而沉降的现象。
但是如果直接采用二价或者三价金属元素与氧化亚硅中的氧结合,形成不溶于水的二价或者三价硅酸盐,将有效避免电池浆料制备过程中在水中溶解,造成残碱问题,然而二价或者三价元素的金属或者氧化物和氧化亚硅反应的活性低(首先需要将金属键或者金属和氧的键断开和重组,能需能量高,温度高),造成其和氧化亚硅反应温度高(一般情况大于900℃),二价或者三价金属元素和氧结合或者形成硅酸盐结合过程中,同时将伴随生产的硅也进行着迁移团聚导致颗粒长大,使得制备出高首周效率的氧化硅中存在结晶的二价或者三价金属元素硅酸盐晶体和硅晶体,较大的硅晶体将影响材料的循环性能。
因此,需要一种能够提高含硅负极材料首效、能够提高含硅负极材料稳定性、且减少硅颗粒长大的一种物质或方法,用于提高电池的循环性能。

与现有技术相对比,本申请具有以下优点:
(1)本申请通过金属元素的掺杂,提升了氧硅材料(氧化亚硅)的首效问题,即,通过金属元素的掺杂,使得金属元素和氧化亚硅材料中的氧提前结合形成稳定化合物,在后续电池循环中,使得锂和氧的结合较少或根本没有余量结合,最终降低或者消除氧化亚硅中氧元素造成电池的首周效率降低;在通过交换反应将非IA族元素与IA族元素进行交换取代,极大的降低了仅由IA族元素掺杂生成的化合物带来的不利影响,例如碱性、不稳定等问题,极大的提升了氧硅材料的电学性能和使用寿命;另外,由于交换替换造成掺杂的非IA族元素化合物位于掺杂氧硅材料的外部区域,不仅是颗粒表面包覆,即使在后续电池制备过程表面受到磨损等操作中也能保持材料的稳定性,其次,IA族元素掺杂以及交换反应掺杂的非IA族元素化合物处理温度低,IA族元素和非IA族元素化合物均为非晶状态,非晶状态的存在表面效应会使材料中存在较多的锂离子通道,由于锂离子在本发明的掺杂氧化亚硅中传输速度快,从而可以提高材料的倍率性,因此在相同电流密度情况下,材料容量发挥较高。
如果掺杂氧硅材料的主体结构为SiOz的非晶结构,那么各种物质的结构均为非晶态,即A的化合物、M的化合物以及硅均为非晶态,材料的充放电的过程中会形成锂离子通道,由于其非晶状态使得锂离子的传输速度提升,从而可以提高材料的倍率性;并且非晶态的硅颗粒小,导电性好;再者,本申请的非晶电池材料中A和M占据了部分与氧结合的空点和位点,可以避免后续应用在电池时降低对于电池正极材料的损耗,即较少几率可再与氧结合,因此提高相应的循环效率。
(2)本申请通过IA族元素的预嵌,解决氧硅材料了首效低问题,避免了循环过程中对IA族元素的损耗,相应的提高了其首周效率,并且不需要直接脱除活性,IA族元素形成的硅酸盐,而是通过离子交换,替换IA族元素,降低氧硅材料中IA族元素硅酸盐的量,并且离子交换后的非IA族元素形成的硅酸 盐化合物相对于IA族元素硅酸盐更加稳定,从而增强了氧硅材料的耐水性。通过离子交换,可以使得一些相对于IA族元素活性较低的金属,实现对IA族元素的置换,克服了目前技术中通过氧化还原法无法实现的元素的掺杂;另外,非IA族元素交换后,能够通过与硅氧等成分生成相应的化合物,对于部分交换后的IA族元素,形成包覆结构,该结构能够进一步促进本申请负极活性物质的稳定性,即不仅减少不稳定物质的量,还对不稳定物质进行包覆,实现双重保护,大大提高其耐水性;再者,本申请的离子交换不仅仅是表面的替换,而是对于整个氧硅材料中掺杂的IA族元素的替换,即属于体相交换。如果控制低温预嵌IA族元素中的温度,可以生成含有晶体硅的掺杂氧硅材料的,不改变氧硅材料中硅的状态,即粒径不长大,可以提升材料的循环性能;同时使得IA族元素掺杂后形成的化合物处于非晶状态;接着通过离子交换的方式,将非IA族元素替代全部或部分IA族元素,随着时间和温度的提升,可以实现从颗粒表面到内部的完全替代,且该离子交换的温度较低,也不改变氧硅材料中硅的状态;由于IA族元素掺杂后形成的化合物处于非晶状态,非IA族元素能够最大程度的替换IA族元素,从而最大程度的减少掺杂氧硅材料中的锂的含量,从而降低成本。
如果控制低温预嵌碱金属A中的温度,可以生成掺杂氧硅材料的主体结构为SiOz的非晶结构,避免了高温时造成非晶硅向晶体硅的转变,可以提高材料的循环稳定性;同时由于低温使得A的化合物也均为非晶态,从而在后续离子交换时,M能够最大程度的替换A元素,直至全部替换,大大降低该复合材料中对水不稳定的物质,并且生成的M的化合物具有较高的对水的稳定性,且大大减少了残碱的量,因此可以提高整体材料的稳定性;另外,由于M相对于A的还原性较差,使得原本很难进入SiOz中的M元素可以较为方便的通过离子交换进去,避免了高温高压等高耗能的方法。

由于氧硅材料中仅含有氧和硅两种元素,因此,当掺杂金属元素时,可以形成的化合物分别是与氧形成的化合物、与硅和氧形成的化合物中的至少一种。优选地,所述金属非晶化合物包括金属元素的氧化物和/或硅酸盐。
所述金属元素包括IA族元素、IIA族元素、IIB族元素、VIIB族元素、VIII B族元素中的至少一种。
所述IA族元素包括碱金属,优选为K和/或Li;所述IIA族元素包括Mg和/或Ca;所述IIB族元素包括Zn;所述VIIB族元素包括Mn;所述VIII B族元素包括Fe;优选地,所述金属元素包括K、Li、Mg、Ca、Mn、Fe和Zn中的至少一种。

本申请的掺杂氧硅材料包括两种情况,一种全是非晶材料,一种含有晶体硅,其他部分为非晶。
掺杂氧硅材料含有晶体硅,其他部分为非晶。

本申请中晶体硅的尺寸不宜过大,过大会严重影响本申请材料的容量发挥(材料导电性变差)和循环性变差。
所述掺杂氧硅材料的X射线衍射图谱包括衍射角26°<2θ<30°、46°<2θ<49°、54°<2θ<57°的特征峰。
该特征峰归属于晶体硅。由于氧化亚硅材料在最开始的碳包覆的过程中温度较高使得氧硅材料中的硅团聚结晶化,在本申请的掺杂氧硅材料中,仅仅存在晶体硅这一晶体结构,其他均为非晶结构;因此,该掺杂氧硅材料中出现的特征峰必然仅仅归属于晶体硅。
掺杂氧硅材料为非晶材料时,即各个部分均为非晶。
其组成为An-2y·My·SiOz;所述掺杂氧硅材料的主体结构为SiOz的非晶结构;其中,0.7<z<1.2,0≤n-2y<z,0<n<z,0<y<0.5z;A为碱金属,M为二价金属;且碱金属A的金属还原性大于二价金属M的金属还原性。

当0<n-2y<z时,碱金属A和二价金属M均位于所述主体结构中,二价金属M的含量由复合材料表面至内部递减,碱金属的含量由掺杂氧硅材料内部至表面递减;当n-2y=0时,碱金属A的含量为零,也就是不存在碱金属A,即只有二价金属M位于主体结构中。
掺杂氧硅材料内部是指从掺杂氧硅材料的中心,该中心可以是常规意义上的重心、中心、内心或外心,其目的是要指明碱金属A和二价金属M含量分布的不同,即当0<n-2y<z时,碱金属占据掺杂氧硅材料中心区域较多,且向外形成递减的趋势,如图7中的○所示;二价金属M占据掺杂氧硅材料外部区域,且向掺杂氧硅材料内部方向形成递减的趋势,如图1中的所示;所述外部区域是指掺杂氧硅材料除去中心区域的其他部分,相对于中心区域,更靠近边缘,且包含有边缘区域。但是碱金属A所处的位置相对于二价金属M的位置,始终更加靠近里面或者最多与最靠近里面的二价金属处于同一水平线,不能相对于二价金属M的位置更加靠近边缘。
图7中的和○仅为举例示意,并不代表该物质真实的形态,且图1仅为示意碱金属A和二价金属M的分布情况,对于图1中的形状和大小均不限制本申请的保护范围。掺杂氧硅材料可以圆形、三角形、长方形、正方形或其他规则或不规则的多边形。
所述主体结构中还含有硅单质,硅单质也是非晶态。
由于本申请的掺杂氧硅材料均为非晶态,因此在X射线衍射图分析中,没有出现明显的特征峰;在衍射角14°<2θ<40°存在一个非晶鼓包曲线且鼓包曲线面积为S1,在衍射角40°<2θ<60°存在一个非晶鼓包曲线且鼓包曲线面积为S2,0<S2/S1<1。
所述碱金属A包括锂和/或钾;二价金属M包括镁、钙、锰、锌、铁中的至少一种。

Si存在的形式包括单质硅、氧化硅、氧化亚硅、硅酸盐中的至少一种。优选地,Si存在的形式包括单质硅;所述单质硅为非晶态;所述单质硅分散于复合材料中。优选地,硅单质位于复合材料的主体结构中。
A的非晶化合物包括A的硅酸盐和/或氧化物,优选地,A的硅酸盐包括A2SiO3、A2Si2O5或A4SiO4
M的非晶化合物包括M的硅酸盐和/或氧化物,优选地,M的硅酸盐包括MSiO3、MSi2O5或M2SiO4。通过离子交换的复合材料实现材料体相包覆,避免了在后续的混料中可能存在颗粒碰撞导致的整体包覆层破碎的问题以及后续制备负极片时浆料混合对于该材料的影响。
非晶电池材料的D50为0.1~15μm,例如可以为0.1μm、0.2μm、0.3μm、0.4μm、0.5μm、0.6μm、0.7μm、0.8μm、0.9μm、1μm、2μm、3μm、4μm、5μm、6μm、7μm、8μm、9μm、10μm、11μm、12μm、13μm、14μm、15μm或任意两个数值之间的任意数值。

所述掺杂氧硅材料还包括碳包覆层;所述碳包覆层包覆所述氧硅材料和所述金属元素。
碳包覆层包覆整个氧硅材料和金属元素,不仅可以对其内部材料起保护作用,还可以增加掺杂氧硅材料的导电性,实现对于掺杂氧硅材料的双重保护。
所述碳包覆层的质量为掺杂氧硅材料质量的0.1%~10%,例如可以为0.1%、0.2%、0.3%、0.4%、0.5%、0.6%、0.7%、0.8%、0.9%、1%、2%、3%、4%、5%、6%、7%、8%、9%、10%或任意两个数值之间的任意数值。
优选地,所述碳包覆层的质量为非晶电池材料质量的2%~10%。
优选地,所述碳包覆层的质量为非晶电池材料质量的2%~5%。
如果包覆的碳层较多,则会影响锂离子的传导速率,并且对电子传导也存在一定的问题,若碳层较少,包覆效果不明显,对于其包覆的氧硅材料的保护力度不行。
所述碳包覆层包括硬碳、软碳或碳纳米管中的一种或多种。
该碳包覆层位于整个掺杂氧硅材料的最外部,承担着保护的作用,使其内部的复合材料免受外部电解质或水等物质的侵蚀,提高复合材料的稳定性;同时由于该包覆层为碳包覆层,具有良好的导电性能,因此也可以提高该掺杂氧硅材料的离子导电性和电子导电性。
实施例2
本实施例提供了一种制备掺杂氧硅材料的方法,本实施例中的掺杂氧硅材料与实施例1中的掺杂氧硅材料限定完全一致,因此不再重复限定。
制备方法包括:(1)将氧硅材料与IA族元素源混合,进行碱金属元素的嵌入,得到含有IA族元素的氧硅材料;(2)将含有IA族元素的氧硅材料与非IA族元素源混合,进行离子交换,得到所述掺杂氧硅材料。
可选地,所述氧硅材料包括二氧化硅和/或氧化亚硅;氧化亚硅的化学式为SiOx,其中,0.7≤x≤1.2,例如x可以为0.7、0.8、0.9、1.0、1.1、1.2或任意两个数值之间的任意一个数值。
IA族元素包括碱金属;IA族元素源包括IA族元素的单质、氢化物、硼氢化物、氨基化合物、烷基化合物中的至少一种,由于该IA族元素(碱金属)源是为了在硅基材料中进行掺杂,只要是含有IA族元素(碱金属)的化合物或混合物均可,优选为IA族元素(碱金属)的单质、氢化物,掺杂后,不引入其他杂质,且具有较高的预嵌的效率。
碱金属优选为钾和/或锂,即碱金属源优选为钾源和/或锂源,其中,钾源优选为金属钾和/或氢化钾,锂源包括氢化锂、金属锂、烷基锂、氢化铝锂、氨基锂、硼氢化锂中的至少一种。

非IA族元素源在含有IA族元素的硅基材料与非IA族元素源的质量之和的质量含量为0.01%~99%,优选为5%~67%。
可选地,所述嵌入包括化学嵌入和/或高温烧结嵌入。
可选地,所述化学嵌入包括:(1-1)将IA族元素源溶解于含有联苯及其衍生物的醚类溶液中,得到含IA族元素的溶液;(1-2)将氧硅材料浸渍于含IA族元素的溶液中,进行化学嵌入,得到所述含有IA族元素的氧硅材料。
在步骤(1-2)之后还包括热处理;热处理是对含有IA族元素的氧硅材料进行加热。
加热温度为300~750℃,加热时间为0.5~20h。
例如可以:加热温度为300~750℃,加热时间为0.5~8h;可以为:加热温度为300℃~500℃,加热时间为1~6h;可以为:加热温度为300~550℃,加热时间为1h~20h。
化学嵌入的条件为:温度为5~40℃,时间为1~120h。
例如可以:时间为5~120h或1h~120h;
化学嵌入的温度可以为5℃、6℃、7℃、8℃、9℃、10℃、15℃、20℃、25℃、30℃、35℃、40℃或任意两个数值之间的任意数值。
化学嵌入的时间可以为1h、2h、3h、4h、5h、6h、7h、8h、9h、10h、11h、12h、13h、14h、15h、16h、17h、18h、19h、20h、21h、22h、23h、24h、25h、26h、27h、28h、29h、30h、31h、32h、33h、34h、35h、36h、37h、38h、39h、40h、41h、42h、43h、44h、45h、46h、47h、48h、49h、50h、51h、52h、53h、54h、55h、56h、57h、58h、59h、60h、61h、62h、63h、64h、65h、66h、67h、68h、69h、70h、71h、72h或任意两个数值之间的任意数值。
含有联苯或多联苯的醚类溶液包括醚类溶剂A和物质B;所述醚类溶剂A包括四氢呋喃、乙二醇二甲醚、二乙二醇二甲醚、三乙二醇二甲醚、四乙二醇二甲醚中的至少一种;所述物质B包括联苯及其衍生物,优选的,所述物质B为2-甲基联苯、4,4’-二甲基联苯中的至少一种。
通过化学嵌入的方式,可以使得IA族元素(碱金属)的预嵌在较低温度时发生,可以避免硅基材料中硅团聚长大的问题,并且不需要直接脱除活性IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐。并且化学嵌入,可以使得IA族元素(碱金属)嵌入氧硅材料中,形成IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物为非晶化合物,同时生成的硅也是出于非晶态,从而整个材料均没有晶体的产生。
在步骤(1-2)之后还包括热处理。需要通过热处理让锂离子充分扩散到整个颗粒内部,形成IA族元素(碱金属)硅化合物。
热处理是对含有IA族元素(碱金属)的氧硅材料进行加热。加热温度为300~750℃,加热时间为0.5~20h。加热温度可以为300℃、310℃、320℃、330℃、340℃、350℃、360℃、370℃、380℃、390℃、400℃、410℃、420℃、430℃、440℃、450℃、460℃、470℃、480℃、490℃、500℃、510℃、520℃、530℃、540℃、550℃、560℃、570℃、580℃、590℃、600℃、610℃、620℃、630℃、640℃、650℃、660℃、670℃、680℃、690℃、700℃、710℃、720℃、730℃、740℃、750℃或任意两个数值之间的任意数值;加热时间可以为0.5h、0.6h、0.7h、0.8h、0.9h、1h、2h、3h、4h、5h、6h、7h 、8h、9h、10h、11h、12h、13h、14h、15h、16h、17h、18h、19h、20h或任意两个数值之间的任意数值。
该热处理在惰性气氛中进行,惰性气氛包括氮气气氛、氦气气氛、氖气气氛、氩气气氛、氪气气氛或氙气气氛中的至少一种。
该热处理温度低于800℃,耗能相对较少,环境友好无污染,适合进行大规模生产。通过控制热处理的温度,可以根据实际情况控制含有IA族元素(碱金属)的硅基材料中各个物质的状态,如在300~550℃时,不会改变原有物质的非晶体状态,便于后续离子交换,可以将IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物进行全部替代;在550~750℃时,处于较高温度,会使得含有IA族元素(碱金属)的氧硅材料中各个物质发生改变,会产生部分晶体,硅晶体和IA族元素(碱金属)硅酸盐晶体,因为由于部分IA族元素(碱金属)硅酸盐晶体的存在,且IA族元素(碱金属)硅酸盐晶体存在较为稳定,M很难将这部分中的碱金属进行替代,因此M不能完全替代步骤(1)中嵌入的碱金属。

用非IA族元素源与含有IA族元素的氧硅材料进行低温离子交换反应,完全替换或者部分替换材料中耐水性差的IA族元素(碱金属)硅酸盐,形成对水稳定的非晶的非IA族元素化合物。该方法简单易于产业化且由于低温不会导致氧硅材料中的硅会变大,从而保证了材料的循环稳定性没有受到影响;此外采用离子交换不仅是表面交换同时存在体相交换,避免了仅仅表面包覆处理在后续的混料中可能存在颗粒碰撞导致的表面包覆破碎的问题,从而提高了将该负极材料制备负极浆料时的稳定性以及使用该负极材料的二次电池的首周充放电效率和循环性能;再者,该离子交换能降低IA族元素(碱金属)用量,尤其是IA族元素(碱金属)中的锂,洗涤后的混合溶液可以采取成熟的盐湖提取锂技术,回收锂,因此和仅采用锂来提升氧硅材料效率的方法来说,可以降低材料成本。

目前市面上将硅基材料进行低温预锂,虽然解决了预锂过程中形成硅团聚长大的问题,但带来了产物硅酸锂在水中溶解的问题;而高温预镁虽然解决了硅酸盐溶解问题,但同时带来了预镁过程中硅团聚长大的问题。但是申请在步骤(1)的IA族元素(碱金属)嵌入后,会生成IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物,例如Li4SiO4和Li2SiO3,该硅酸盐化合物耐水性较差,所以步骤(2)的离子交换,可以将上述硅酸盐中的IA族元素(碱金属)进行替代,生成非IA族元素的硅酸盐形式,由于处于非晶状态的IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物比较容易替代,因此,非IA族元素会首先位于IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物周围进行替代,当全部的IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物均为非晶态时,非IA族元素可以将IA族元素(碱金属)完全替代;当存在IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物为晶体时,晶体边缘处得到非晶IA族元素(碱金属)的硅酸盐化合物会被非IA族元素替代生成非IA族元素的硅酸盐,从而对非IA族元素的硅酸盐化合物形成包覆结构,进一步降低与外界的接触。

非IA族元素源包括非IA族元素的氧化物、硫酸盐、卤化物中的至少一种,优选为非IA族元素的卤化物,卤化物由于不含有氧元素,对非IA族元素的吸引弱易解离,并且非IA族元素和A的硅酸盐中的硅酸根结合后能量更低,更稳定,反应温度降低。
第二次掺杂是通过离子交换的方式,将非IA族元素替代部分或全部IA族元素,克服了现有技术中,还原性较低的金属不能替代还原性较高金属的这一原料造成的遗憾;同时,与现有技术通过高温烧结的方式不同,该离子交换的方法条件温和,温度不高,不会使得材料中的硅和/或硅酸盐进行团聚而使得粒径增大;另外,该方法使处理过程中非IA族元素从表面向内部逐步取代IA族元素,对整个颗粒形成包裹,内部取代形成的包覆层与其他专利的整体包覆和颗粒表面包裹不同,该取代后的包裹层由于是金属元素的非晶化合物本身具备一定离子和电子电导,取代层可以很厚;其他专利的颗粒外部包裹则不同,其本身为晶体结构离子和电子导电性不强,因此不能太厚否则会影响材料电化学性能,其次本专利的内部取代包裹使得内部颗粒结合包覆紧密,结合力强,因此,即使经过搅拌等操作会造成一定的磨损,也使得其他微粒免受侵害。
非IA族元素源和第一次掺杂的氧硅材料的摩尔比为0.01~2:1。
非IA族元素源和第一次掺杂的氧硅材料的摩尔比为0.01:1、0.02:1、0.03:1、0.04:1、0.05:1、0.06:1、0.07:1、0.08:1、0.09:1、0.1:1、0.2:1、0.3:1、0.4:1、0.5:1、1:1、2:1或任意两个比值之间的任意比值。
由于在IA族元素的化合物中,处于外部的化合物易于被替代,所以非IA族元素是替代全部或部分IA族元素;当非IA族元素替代部分IA族元素时,随着反应的进行非IA族元素的化合物必然从颗粒表面逐步取代到颗粒内部,当非IA族元素替代全部IA族元素时,仅剩非IA族元素,那么非IA族元素的掺杂量就是全部金属元素的掺杂量。
该掺杂氧硅材料的制备方法在非氧化性气氛下进行。所述非氧化性气氛包括真空环境或惰性气氛;所述惰性气氛为氮气气氛、氦气气氛、氖气气氛、氩气气氛、氪气气氛或氙气气氛中的至少一种。
本申请通过先进行掺杂IA族元素,使其与氧硅材料中的氧进行结合,提前消耗锂,降低了在后续电池首次循环时对于锂或其他元素对于氧的结合,从而较大的提高了首效问题;接着,对于其中的IA族元素进行完全或部分替代,使其掺杂量降低,一方面可以降低其可以与水反应的量;同时,由于非IA族元素对 水的稳定性高,替代IA族元素最大程度上提升其与水的稳定性,保持材料结构稳定性,其次包覆为颗粒内部取代包覆层,具有致密度高,结合牢,相对于整体包覆,更具有实用性,即使受到磨损等操作使得整体结构破坏,也能对于每个IA族元素及其化合物进行针对性的保护。

在步骤(3)中,M元素与A元素进行离子交换,完全替换或者部分替换材料中非晶的A的化合物。
由于M的还原性小于A的还原,使用一般的还原方法无法得到上述材料。本申请通过创新的离子交换的方法,使得目前还原性较低的金属替换金属A,让材料在预嵌A的过程中减少或者杜绝和氧结合的不可逆的金属A的消耗,因此提高了材料的首周循环效率。

步骤(2)中,将预嵌A的前驱体An·SiOz在温度为300℃~500℃中加热1~6h。温度可以为300℃、350℃、400℃、350℃、500℃或任意两个数值之间的任意数值;时间可以为1h、2h、3h、4h、5h、6h或任意两个数值之间的任意数值。
因为化学嵌入金属A的过程,存在部分产物为金属A和硅的合金,该过程是将金属A和硅形成的合金中的金属A加速在在整个复合材料颗粒内部扩散,使其均匀分布;并且将其全部生成A的非晶化合物(A的硅酸盐或氧化物),避免后续金属A和硅形成合金和M盐的副反应。并且进行加热处理后,碱金属A能够均匀的分布于复合材料的内部结构中。
步骤(3)中烧结温度为150℃~550℃,烧结时间为1~48h。
烧结温度可以为150℃、160℃、170℃、180℃、190℃、200℃、210℃、220℃、230℃、240℃、250℃、260℃、270℃、280℃、290℃、300℃、310℃、320℃、330℃、340℃、350℃、360℃、370℃、380℃、390℃、400℃、410℃、420℃、430℃、440℃、450℃、460℃、470℃、480℃、490℃、500℃、510℃、520℃、530℃、540℃、550℃或任意两个数值之间的任意数值;烧结时间可以为1h、2h、3h、4h、5h、6h、7h、8h、9h、10h、11h、12h、13h、14h、15h、16h、17h、18h、19h、20h、21h、22h、23h、24h、25h、26h、27h、28h、29h、30h、31h、32h、33h、34h、35h、36h、37h、38h、39h、40h、41h、42h、43h、44h、45h、46h、47h、48h或任意两个数值之间的任意数值。
该烧结过程中,发生离子交换,即金属M替代了金属A;该离子交换方法的条件温和,避免高温对于硅的影响,例如硅的聚集使得硅的粒径增大或使得硅让晶体硅转变;离子交换前后的A化合物和M化合物均为非晶,交换后M替代部分或全部A,让材料在预嵌A的过程中减少或者杜绝和氧结合的不可逆的A的消耗,因此可以提高材料的首周循环效率;并且离子交换不仅是表面交换同时存在体相交换,避免了仅仅表面包覆处理在后续的混料中可能存在颗粒碰撞导致的表面包覆破碎的问题,提高了浆料在混料过程中的稳定性。另外,该离子交换也避免了通过高温直接将金属M与SiOz中的能耗问题以及硅粒增大带来的各种影响,避免了纳米硅颗粒的团聚使得硅也保持着非晶状态。
该非晶电池材料的制备方法在非氧化性气氛下进行。所述非氧化性气氛包括真空环境或惰性气氛;所述惰性气氛为氮气气氛、氦气气氛、氖气气氛、氩气气氛、氪气气氛或氙气气氛中的至少一种。
目前制备硅负极材料中的一些问题,例如采用低温预锂氧化亚硅虽然保了预锂后材料中硅尺寸氧化硅中的硅颗粒尺寸小于1nm,优化参数后甚至能做到硅的颗粒更小,但是存在硅酸锂溶解导致浆料制备时残碱高的问题;以及采用二价金属元素虽然确保二价金属元素的硅酸盐,不会有溶于水的残碱问题,但是由于二价元素的金属或者氧化物和氧化硅反应的活性低,造成其和氧化硅反应温度高,导致合成材料中形成的硅的相的硅原子进行团聚长大,硅颗粒尺寸较大>20nm,造成制备材料循环和容量均下降的问题。而本实施例提供了一种非晶电池材料的制备方法,将调和上述两种方案的弊端,利用碱金属和氧化硅的高活性,采用低温预嵌的方案,从而确保预嵌金属后的硅保持不团聚的非晶状态,粒径小于1nm,将预嵌金属后形成的氧化亚硅与M源,在低温条件下进行离子交换反应,将硅酸盐中的锂部分或完全替换出来,减少碱金属的硅酸盐,从而确保了水中溶解的低残碱或者中性;并且M全部替代或部分替代A,生成对电解质更加稳定的M的硅酸盐,使得整个非晶电池材料的稳定性增强,且降低了在水中的碱性,提高了后续电池的使用寿命。
具体地,通过较低的温度对SiOz进行碳包覆,保持氧化亚硅的非晶特征;然后再用室温化学碱金属嵌入的方法向包碳的氧化亚硅中嵌入碱金属,在颗粒内部形成非晶的碱金属的硅酸盐化合物粒子;利用颗粒内部碱金属的硅酸盐化合物粒子结晶性较差从而具备一定的锂离子传导特性以及M和O结合能量降低,将M元素的卤化物与其进行混合加热进行离子交换,完全替换或者部分替换材料中非晶的碱金属的硅酸盐化合物,从而形成对水稳定的包覆结构,提高材料稳定性;反应后化学式:An-2y·My·SiOz;其中,0.7<z<1.2,0≤n-2y<z,0<y<0.5×z,由于是M取代部分A,M为二价元素,因此M的0<y<0.5×z;反应过后原子进行重组,由于采用离子交换法,温度不高、交换后的M化合物为非晶结构不影响纳米硅颗粒团聚使得硅也保持着非晶状态,因此提高了使用包含该负极活性物质颗粒的负极材料制备负极浆料时的稳定性以及使用该负极材料的二次电池的首周充放电效率和循环性能。

对比例1
(1)将3kg氧化亚硅(氧硅比0.91),质置于CVD回转炉中,以1.5L/min的流量通入乙炔作为碳源,通入氩气作为稀释气,940℃沉积2h,冷却出料得到含碳层的氧化亚硅。该碳层在所述掺杂氧硅材料中的质量分数为2.4%。

(3)将改性后的氧化硅颗粒投入乙醇与磷酸二氢铝的混合溶液中,进行搅拌、过滤、干燥并去除了乙醇。由此,使磷酸二氢铝附着于氧化硅颗粒的表面和碳层的表面。此时,改性后的氧化硅颗粒被磷酸二氢铝包覆。以此方式,制作了由在表面具有碳层和磷酸盐的覆膜的氧化硅颗粒构成的硅系活性物质颗粒。由X射线衍射图分析得知该硅系活性物质颗粒中的硅的晶体大小为6.63nm。
对比例2
(1)将3kg氧化亚硅(氧硅比0.91),质置于CVD回转炉中,以1.5L/min的流量通入乙炔作为碳源,通入氩气作为稀释气,940℃沉积2h,冷却出料得到含碳层的氧化亚硅。该碳层在所述掺杂氧硅材料中的质量分数为2.4%。
(2)首先,将含碳层的氧化亚硅颗粒浸渍在使锂片与作为直链聚亚苯基化合物的联苯溶解于四氢呋喃(以下也称为THF)而得到的溶液(溶液A1)中。此时,将N2鼓泡至溶液A1中(以下述方式制作了溶液A1:以1mol/L的浓度使联苯溶解于THF溶剂中后,相对于该THF与联苯的混合液,添加6质量%的质量分率的锂片。此外,浸渍硅化合物颗粒时的溶液的温度为20℃,浸渍时间设为了10小时)。然后,过滤取得了硅化合物颗粒。通过以上处理,向硅化合物颗粒中插入了锂。接着,将插入锂后的硅化合物颗粒浸渍于使萘溶解于THF而得到的溶液(溶液B)中(以2mol/L的浓度将萘溶解于THF溶剂来制作了溶液B)。此外,浸渍硅化合物颗粒时的溶液的温度为20℃,浸渍时间设为了20小时。然后,过滤取得了硅化合物颗粒。
(3)将接触溶液B后的硅化合物颗粒浸渍于以1mol/L的浓度使对苯醌溶解于THF而得到的溶液(溶液C)中。浸渍时间设为了2小时。然后,过滤取得了硅化合物颗粒。接着,对硅化合物颗粒进行清洗处理,并在减压下对清洗处理后的硅化合物颗粒进行了干燥处理。以此方式得到了在表面包含氮化锂的负极活性物质颗粒。接着,用乙醇与水的混合溶液清洗该负极活性物质颗粒,由此在负极活性物质颗粒的表面生成了Li2CO3和LiOH。
对比例3
仅为试验例9中的前两个步骤,即对比例3得到的物质是试验例9步骤(3)中的掺杂IA族元素的硅酸盐化合物。
试验例10
将上述试验例1至试验例9以及对比例1-3制备的负极活性物质颗粒分别取10g,分别放入100mL的去离子水中,常温下以60r/min的转速搅拌10min,使用pH试纸测试(精密试纸),用玻棒蘸一点待测溶液到试纸上,然后根据试纸的颜色变化并对照比色卡也可以得到溶液的pH值,结果见表1。
表1

如表1所示,比较对比例1与对比例3,可以发现两者制备最大的区别在于对比例1在嵌锂后利用磷酸二氢铝包覆对整体颗粒进行了包覆,从而使得对比例1比对比例3的pH值小碱性低;再比较试验例1、对比例1和对比例3,可以看出试验例1的pH值最小仅为7.6不仅低于对比例3的14,更低于对比例1的12.6,这表明本专利的材料在水中的稳定性要高于嵌锂后不进行处理的材料,也高于嵌锂后对颗粒整体进行包覆的材料。
再比较试验例1与对比例2,可以发现,对比例2的pH值为13.6远大于试验例1的7.6,这表明在嵌锂后的氧硅材料表面形成Li2CO3和LiOH的包覆层依旧会使得材料在水中显碱性,这其中包覆层虽然会起到一定阻止内部锂的硅酸盐的溶出,但材料表面的Li2CO3和LiOH在水中依旧会显碱性,相反,本发明的材料则是通过交换不仅形成对颗粒从外到内的包覆,更形成对颗粒内部锂的硅酸盐的体相包覆,从而可以确保材料在水中搅拌的稳定性。
试验例11
(1)将上述试验例1至试验例9以及对比例1-3制备的负极活性物质颗粒、SP、CNT、CMC和SBR按照75:12:3:5:5的质量比例进行浆料的制备,涂布在8μm的铜箔上,鼓风烘箱60℃干燥2h,然后裁取Ф12mm的极片若干装好放进真空烘箱110℃,干燥7h。
(2)待烘烤结束迅速转移至手套箱,以Ф14mm的金属锂片为对电极,使用单面陶瓷隔膜,以1mol/L的LiPF6/(EC+DMC)(体积比1:1)加3%的VC和3%FEC为电解液,在手套进行扣式电池组装,手套箱水氧含量控制在0.1ppm以下。
(3)对组装好的电池进行充放电循环测试,测试设备充放电测试在LAND电池测试系统(来源于武汉蓝合电子有限公司)上,测试条件为:室温,前三周按照0.1C、0.02C阶梯放电到5mV,0.1C恒流充电至1.5V,第四周后0.1C/0.1C充放电循环50周,结果见表2。(材料比容量计算方式为:充电的容量/负极活材料质量;电池首周效率计算方式为:电池首周充电比容量/电池首周放电比容量;电池50周容量保持率:将第50周的充电比容量/第一周的充电比容量)
表2实施例和对比例的掺杂氧硅材料的性能测试结果
如表2所示,比较试验例1至试验例9,可以发现氧硅材料的首效与第一次的嵌锂量(嵌锂量=第一次嵌入的金属锂质量/参与反应的氧硅材料的质量)有关,在一定条件下,第一次的嵌锂量(嵌钾量可以根据摩尔质量换算成嵌锂量)越多则氧硅材料的首效则会越高;另外在一定条件下,第一次的嵌锂量越多则材料的可逆容量则会相对的降低;要说明的是,当第一次的嵌锂量较高时,即大于等于10%时,例如试验例4为10%时,材料的稳定性会有所下降从而导致首效有所降低,这表明本专利的材料在第一次的嵌锂量较低时,有比较大的优势。
而对于低嵌锂量(小于10%)时,则是嵌锂越多,首效越高。例如,比较试验例1与对比例1,可以看出,对比例1的第一次的嵌锂量较少故首效80.15%相比于试验例1的84.07%较少,但是与此同时可以看出,对比例1的可逆容量为1454mAh/g,也低于试验例1的可逆容量1478mAh/g,这表明对比例1由于包覆从而导致可逆容量降低;另外从50周容量保持率来看,对比例1的91.6%也低于试验例1的95.4%,这是由于对比例1的740℃高温热处理使得对比例1中的晶体硅的粒径变大为6.63nm大于试验例1的4.8nm,从而使得对比例1的循环性能差一些,并且由于对比例1是在嵌锂后的氧硅材料外利用磷酸盐进行包覆,对比例1的氧硅材料的包覆层很容易在负极浆料制备过程中破裂脱落,从而使得材料中的硅酸锂盐暴露出来从而使得循环性能下降。
比较对比例1、对比例2和试验例1,可以看出相较于试验例1,对比例2与对比例1有相同的痛点:1.额外的包覆层使得材料的容量降低;2.包覆层在制备负极浆料过程中容易破裂脱落使得材料中的硅酸锂盐暴露出来,从而在应用于电池时影响电池的循环性能。
比较试验例1与对比例2,两者第一次都嵌入了6%的金属锂,但是由于对比例2中的一部分锂变化形成了Li2CO3和LiOH,使得对比例2的首周效率为87.63%甚至低于试验例1的84.07%。
比较对比例3与试验例9,可以看出,两者都在第一次嵌入3%质量金属锂,但是对比例3的首效仅为73.35%,远不如试验例9的首效80.46%,对比例3的50周容量保持率为77.6%也远低于试验例9的95.6%,并且对比例3的材料在进行负极浆料制备时出现了部分团聚的现象,这表明了第一次嵌锂后不进行离子交换的材料容易在水中溶出锂的硅酸盐从而使得材料在水中不稳定,也使得其电池性能变差,其原因是不进行离子交换的对比例3由于缺少包覆层无法保护材料中的锂的硅酸盐部分,从而导致其在水中溶出,甚至可能会在该过程中生成二氧化硅,故对比例3的氧化亚硅嵌锂后不仅没有提升其首效甚至有所降低。
试验例12
(1)将上述实施例1至实施例3以及对比例制备的掺杂氧硅材料与石墨混合(质量比为10:90)得到混合负极材料,再将混合负极材料、SP、CNT、CMC和SBR按照95.4:0.3:0.5:1.6:2.2质量比例进行浆料的制备,涂布在8μm的铜箔上,鼓风烘箱60℃干燥2h,然后裁取Ф12mm的极片若干装好放进真空烘箱110℃,干燥7h。
(2)待烘烤结束迅速转移至手套箱,以Ф14mm的金属锂片为对电极,使用单面陶瓷隔膜,以1mol/L的LiPF6/(EC+DMC)(体积比1:1)加3%的VC和3%FEC为电解液,在手套进行扣式电池组装,手套箱水氧含量控制在0.1ppm以下。
(3)对组装好的电池进行充放电循环测试,测试设备充放电测试在武汉蓝合电子有限公司LAND电池测试系统上,测试条件为:室温,前三周按照0.1C、0.02C阶梯放电到5mV,0.1C恒流充电至1.5V,第四周后0.1C/0.1C充放电循环40周,结果见表3。(材料比容量计算方式为:充电的容量/负极活性物质质量;电池首周效率计算方式为:电池首周充电比容量/电池首周放电比容量;电池40周容量保持率:将第40周的充电比容量/第一周的充电比容量)
表3实施例和对比例与石墨混合的负极材料的性能测试结果
如表3所示,从40周容量保持率来看,可以发现对比例1-3都低于试验例1-9,并且其中对比例3的最低仅为93.7%,这表明嵌锂后的氧硅材料不进行包覆的话裸露的硅酸锂盐会影响材料的循环性能,而对比例1-2的保持率也低于试验例的原因是对比例1-2的包覆层都是表面包覆层,其容易在负极浆料制备过程中的因搅拌碰撞而破裂脱落使得材料中的硅酸锂盐暴露出来,从而影响了循环性能。
实施例6
掺杂氧硅材料为非晶材料时,即各个部分均为非晶。
试验例1
(1)将3kg氧化亚硅(SiOz,0.7<z<1.2)置于CVD回转炉中,以1.5L/min的流量通入乙炔作为碳源,以1.5L/min的流量通入氩气作为稀释气,800℃沉积4h,冷却出料得到具有一定碳包覆量(0.1%~10%)的氧化亚硅。
(2)在氩气环境中,将碱金属颗粒A、碳包覆的氧化亚硅3kg,放入63g 4,4’-二甲基联苯与4L乙二醇二甲醚的混合溶液中,室温下(约25℃)搅拌120h进行化学嵌锂,然后将固液混合物进行过滤,得到含锂的氧化亚硅。
(3)采用加热方式,将步骤(2)中的嵌锂的氧化亚硅在500℃真空加热3h,使得嵌入的锂分布均匀,形成均匀的锂的硅酸盐;之后取M源与1kg加热后的嵌锂的氧化亚硅混合均匀,将混合物放在管式炉中通入氮气280℃烧结36h后自然冷却,用去离子水洗涤过滤除去氯化镁和氯化锂,干燥得到掺杂氧硅材料。
采用和上述步骤相似流程,仅仅更换其中的物质和实验参数,具体更换的实验参数见表4。表4
其中,试验例1~6中步骤(1)的乙炔的流量分别为1.5L/min、1.5L/min、2L/min、2.5L/min、1.5L/min、1.5L/min;碳包覆温度分别为800℃、800℃、800℃、800℃、760℃、700℃;碳包覆时间分别为4h、4h、3.5h、3h、4h、4h;试验例1~6中步骤(2)的室温下(约25℃)搅拌进行化学嵌锂的时间分别为120h、72h、120h、110h、60h、90h。
试验例1制备得到的掺杂氧硅材料的SEM图、元素能谱图和X射线衍射图如图8、图9和图10所示,具体地,如图8的SEM图所示,试验例1制备的非晶电池材料的粒径在5μm左右;如图9所示的EDS能谱图可以看出,试验例1制备的非晶电池材料中外部有碳元素包覆,材料内部除了含有本身的硅、氧元素之外还含有镁元素,这表明镁元素通过离子交换成功地替换了锂元素进入了材料内部,而且镁元素在材料的颗粒内部分布的较为均匀,这说明了非晶的锂的硅酸盐能够最大程度地进行离子交换。如图10所示,试验例1的的XRD图中没有明显的特征峰,只存在两个非晶的鼓包曲线,即在衍射角14°<2θ<40°存在一个非晶鼓包曲线且设鼓包曲线面积为S1,在衍射角40°<2θ<60°存在一个非晶鼓包曲线且设鼓包曲线面积为S2,0<S2/S1<1。
对比例1
将3kg氧化亚硅(SiOz,z=0.91)置于CVD回转炉中,以1.5L/min的流量通入乙炔作为碳源,以1.5L/min的流量通入氩气作为稀释气,800℃沉积4h,冷却出料得到碳包覆的氧化亚硅,碳包覆量为3.6%。即,仅为试验例1中步骤(1)得到的物质。
对比例2
(1)将3kg氧化亚硅(SiOz,z=0.91)置于CVD回转炉中,以1.5L/min的流量通入乙炔作为碳源,以1.5L/min的流量通入氩气作为稀释气,800℃沉积4h,冷却出料得到碳包覆的氧化亚硅,碳包覆量为3.6%。(2)在氩气环境中,将碱金属颗粒A(锂粒90g)、碳包覆的氧化亚硅3kg,放入63g4,4’-二甲基联苯与4L乙二醇二甲醚的混合溶液中,搅拌120h进行化学嵌锂,然后将固液混合物进行过滤,得到嵌锂的氧化亚硅。(3)采用加热方式,将步骤(2)中的嵌锂的氧化亚硅在500℃真空加热3h,使得嵌入的锂分布均匀,形成均匀的锂的硅酸盐,得到均匀嵌锂的氧化亚硅,即,仅为试验例2中步骤(1)和步骤(2)和热处理,不进行离子交换得到的物质。
对比例3
(1)在0.0001~1torr的减压气氛下以1400℃的温度热处理15kg的以1:1的摩尔比均匀混合硅粉末与二氧化硅(SiO2)粉末的粉末和1.5kg的镁,使上述硅、二氧化硅(SiO2)的混合粉末的氧化硅蒸汽与镁蒸汽同时产生来气相中进行反应后,在700℃的温度下进行冷却后析出,随后用气流粉碎机进行粉碎并分级,从而获得包含平均粒径(D50)为6.3μm的镁的氧化硅复合物粉末。(2)按照与对比例1相同的方法,对步骤(1)中的掺杂氧硅材料进行包覆,得到电池材料。
性能测试
1、pH值
将上述试验例1~6以及对比例1~3制备的含锂的氧化亚硅分别取10g,分别放入100mL的去离子水中,常温下以60r/min的转速搅拌10min,使用pH计测试分别测试pH值,结果见表5。
表5

如表5所示,通过对比例1、对比例2与对比例3可以看出,对比例2的pH值为13.6远大于对比例1的7.0,表明氧化亚硅嵌锂后的材料在水中显较强的碱性;对比例3与对比例1的pH相差无几都是接近中性,表明氧化亚硅嵌入镁不会影响材料在水中的pH值;通过试验例1-6与对比例2的数据,试验例1~6的pH值都在7~9之间远小于对比例2的13.6,这表明本发明通过离子交换可以有效的降低嵌锂的氧化亚硅在水中的碱性。
2、电学性能
(1)将上述试验例1~6以及对比例1~3制备的掺杂氧硅材料、SP、CNT、CMC和SBR按照75:12:3:5:5的质量比例进行浆料的制备,涂布在8μm的铜箔上,鼓风烘箱60℃干燥2h,然后裁取Ф12mm的极片若干装好放进真空烘箱110℃,干燥7h。
(2)待烘烤结束迅速转移至手套箱,以Ф14mm的金属锂片为对电极,使用单面陶瓷隔膜,以1mol/L的LiPF6/(EC+DMC)(体积比1:1)加3%的VC和3%FEC为电解液,在手套进行扣式电池组装,手套箱水氧含量控制在0.1ppm以下。
(3)对组装好的电池进行充放电循环测试,测试设备充放电测试在LAND电池测试系统(来源于武汉蓝合电子有限公司)上,测试条件为:室温,前三周按照0.1C、0.02C阶梯放电到5mV,0.1C恒流充电至1.5V,第四周后0.1C/0.1C充放电循环50周,结果见表6。(材料比容量计算方式为:充电的容量/掺杂氧硅材料质量;电池首周效率计算方式为:电池首周充电比容量/电池首周放电比容量;电池50周容量保持率:将第50周的充电比容量/第一周的充电比容量)
表6实施例和对比例的掺杂氧硅材料的性能测试结果
图11和图12分别是试验例1的首次充放电曲线和50周容量保持率图,通过图11可以看出,试验例1的首次充电容量为1475mAh/g,首次放电容量为1728mAh/g;通过图12可以看到,除了刚开始的八次循环上下浮动较大外,之后均无明显波动,且在循环50次之后,处于较稳定状态,可见本申请试验例1制备的非晶材料具有较高的50周容量保持率,且循环过程均处于稳定状态。
如表6所示,通过验例1与对比例1可以看出,试验例1的首周效率为85.33%远大于对比例1的75.25%,且试验例1的50周容量保持率为96.7%同样远大于对比例1的81.6%,这表明本发明通过嵌锂然后进行离子交换的硅氧材料可以提升氧化亚硅的首效与循环性能。
通过试验例2与对比例2可以看出,对比例2与试验例2的制备的不同之处仅在于对比例2进行了嵌锂后没有进行离子交换,然而对比例2的充放电容量都远低于试验例2,并且对比例2的首效仅为73.31%也远低于试验例2的81.75%(需要补充的是,对比例2在制备浆料时出现了团聚现象),此外对比例2的50周循环保持率只有76.6%远低于试验例2的96.3%,这表明试验例2由于离子交换用镁元素替换了锂元素,相较于嵌锂后不进行离子交换的氧化亚硅材料,提高了材料的稳定性和循环性能。
比较试验例2与对比例3可以看出,对比例3没有进行嵌锂而是直接高温将镁嵌入了硅氧材料,而镁元素的相对原子质量为24,锂元素的相对原子质量为7,通过换算对比例3的嵌镁量(嵌镁量=嵌入镁元素质量/氧化亚硅质量)10%换算成嵌锂量(嵌锂量=嵌入锂元素质量/氧化亚硅质量)为2.9%(即10%/24*7≈2.9%),与试验例2的嵌锂量3%接近,故对比例3的首效为81.41%略低于试验例2的81.75%,相差不多;而对比例3的50周循环保持率仅为85%远低于试验例2的96.3%,这表明对比例3由于高温嵌镁导致硅氧材料中的晶体硅的粒径变大,从而导致了材料的循环性能变差。
3、与石墨混合后的电学性能
(1)将上述实施例1至实施例3以及对比例制备的掺杂氧硅材料与石墨混合(质量比为10:90)得到混合负极材料,再将混合负极材料、SP、CNT、CMC和SBR按照95.4:0.3:0.5:1.6:2.2质量比例进行浆料的制备,涂布在8μm的铜箔上,鼓风烘箱60℃干燥2h,然后裁取Ф12mm的极片若干装好放进真空烘箱110℃,干燥7h。
(2)待烘烤结束迅速转移至手套箱,以Ф14mm的金属锂片为对电极,使用单面陶瓷隔膜,以1mol/L的LiPF6/(EC+DMC)(体积比1:1)加3%的VC和3%FEC为电解液,在手套进行扣式电池组装,手套箱水氧含量控制在0.1ppm以下。
(3)对组装好的电池进行充放电循环测试,测试设备充放电测试在武汉蓝合电子有限公司LAND电池测试系统上,测试条件为:室温,前三周按照0.1C、0.02C阶梯放电到5mV,0.1C恒流充电至1.5V,第四周后0.1C/0.1C充放电循环50周,结果见表7。(材料比容量计算方式为:充电的容量/掺杂氧硅材料质量;电池首周效率计算方式为:电池首周充电比容量/电池首周放电比容量;电池50周容量保持率:将第50周的充电比容量/第一周的充电比容量)
表7实施例和对比例的掺杂氧硅材料与石墨混合的负极材料的性能测试结果
如表7所示,通过比较试验例1与对比例1,可以看出对比例1的首效为86.05%低于试验例1的91.14%,且对比例1的50周容量保持率为93.6%也低于试验例1的99.1%,这表明本发明嵌锂并进行离子交换的硅氧材料相较于单纯的碳包覆氧化亚硅应用于负极材料中时,会提高材料的首效与循环性能。通过比较试验例2与对比例2,可以看出对比例2的充放电容量、首效以及50周容量保持率都明显低于试验例2,这表明单纯预锂后的材料如果不进行表面包覆或者如本专利的离子交换进行体相包覆,则在应用于负极材料时会极大影响电池的电化学性能。
通过比较试验例1与对比例3,可以看出两者的首效相差无几,这是因为两者在进行嵌锂与嵌镁时结合硅氧材料中的氧元素差不多,故两者应用于负极材料时的首效相差无几;然而对比例3的50周容量保持率为95.4%低于试验例1的99.1%,这表明高温嵌镁导致对比例3的硅氧材料中的晶体硅粒径变大,而试验例1是采用低温嵌锂以及较低温度进行的离子交换使得硅氧材料中的硅为非晶状态,粒径小于1nm,因此试验例1应用于负极材料时的循环性能要优于对比例3应用于负极材料的循环性能。

对比例1
与试验例6步骤大致相同,只是没有离子交换的步骤,具体如下:

取880g SiOx基复合材料(其是由无定形碳包覆层和市售SiOx(x=1)形成的复合材料,且无定形碳占复合材料的3wt%)与120g Mg粉,即Mg占混合物的比例为12%,投入VC混合机内混合30min后,投入0.1MPa Ar气氛的箱式炉中于1000℃处理12h,使用HCl进行酸处理2h,然后过滤将酸液分离,然后将滤渣高温烘干,得到掺杂氧硅材料(还原SiOy材料和Mg的化合物)。
对比例3

按照试验例6碳包覆的步骤碳包覆,即将所述粉碎的硅复合氧化物粉末质置于CVD回转炉中,以1.5L/min的流量通入乙炔作为碳源,通入氩气作为稀释气,800℃沉积3h,冷却出料得到碳包覆的嵌镁的氧化亚硅并进行分筛。
性能测试

表8试验例和对比例1、对比例3的掺杂氧硅材料的性能测试结果
如表8所示,比较试验例6与对比例1,两者第一次的嵌锂量(嵌锂量=嵌入锂元素的质量/将要嵌锂的材料的质量)都为3%,差别仅在于嵌锂后是否进行离子交换,然而对比例1的首效仅为73.35%,远低于试验例6的81.54%,对比例1的50周容量保持率为77.6%也远低于试验例6的95.4%,并且对比例1的材料在进行负极浆料制备时出现了部分团聚的现象而试验例6未出现,这表明了第一次嵌锂后不进行离子交换的材料容易在水中溶出锂的硅酸盐从而使得材料在水中不稳定,也使得其电池性能变差;两者的性能测试比较可以看出本发明的材料在嵌锂后有进行离子交换可以有效的提升氧硅材料的首效与循环性能,并且由于离子交换形成的包覆能够提升材料的稳定性。
比较试验例3与对比例2:对比例2在880g SiOx基复合材料中嵌入120g镁,则嵌镁量为120/880约等于13.636%,换算成嵌锂量为13.636%/24*7约等于4%(镁的相对原子质量为24,锂的相对原子质量为7),这与试验例3的嵌锂量4%(120/3000=4%)相接近。通过比较两者的首周效率可以看出两者相差不大;然而对比例2的首次充电容量为1281mAh/g,首次放电容量为1541mAh/g,都远低于试验例3的1527mAh/g的首次充电容量和1834mAh/g的首次放电容量,这表明本专利先嵌锂然后通过离子交换嵌入镁元素的的材料容量相较于直接嵌镁会提升许多;其次对比例2的40周容量保持率为90.1%低于试验例3的97.6%,这表明对比例2由于1000℃的高温处理使得其材料中的晶体硅的粒径较大从而导致其循环性能较差。
比较试验例6与对比例3,通过计算两者的嵌锂量与嵌镁量,可以知道,对比例3的嵌镁量换算成嵌锂量为2.9%与试验例6的3%相接近,并且两者的首周效率分别为81.54%和81.41%,同样相差不多;然而对比例3的首周充放电容量都远低于试验例6,这表明直接高温嵌锂的方法制备的材料的容量较低,不如本发明的材料的容量;此外对比例3的50周容量保持率为85%也远低于试验例6的95.4%,这表明对比例3的高温将硅、二氧化硅、金属镁三者共同蒸镀冷却得到材料的方案会使材料的循环性较差,远不如本发明低温嵌锂后再以较低温离子交换嵌镁的方法制得的材料的循环性好,这是因为本发明的制备方案的低温制备可以保持材料中的硅不继续长大,从而使得材料的循环性能较好。
以上所述仅为本申请的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换或改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
