Description

负极材料、二次电池和电子装置 技术领域
本申请涉及储能领域,具体涉及一种负极材料、二次电池和电子装置。
背景技术
随着电化学装置如锂离子电池成为广泛应用的能源系统,其细分的方向也越来越多,其中快速充放电应用是其中一个重要的方向。因此,开发具有优越充放电性能的能源系统对其在交通工具、电网、风能和太阳能系统中的大规模应用至关重要。
但是,快速充放电会带来一些问题。例如,锂离子电池在大倍率充放电时,由于电池本身内阻的存在,导致在充放电过程中温度快速上升。从而导致电池处在高温环境下,对其循环和安全性能带来巨大的损害。因此,消费市场对于内阻较小的电池需求非常迫切,需进行内阻较小的电池的开发。现有技术改善电池阻抗主要是通过降低极片的涂布厚度及减小负极活性材料的粒度,但这种方式会明显的降低电池的能量密度,降低电池的续航能力,且成本高。因此,开发内阻低且其他性能适中的负极材料十分必要。
发明内容
鉴于现有技术存在的上述问题,本申请提供一种负极材料及包括该负极材料的二次电池,以提高负极材料的动力学性能,进而降低二次电池的内阻,提升二次电池的综合性能。
在第一方面,本申请提供一种负极材料,其包括碳基材料,通过X射线衍射法测试,该负极材料的X射线衍射谱图在2θ为43°至44°范围内具有衍射峰a,在2θ为45°至47°范围内具有衍射峰b,其中,衍射峰a的峰强度为I a,衍射峰b的峰强度为I b,I a/I b>1。负极材料的衍射峰a和衍射峰b与石墨中的菱形(3R)石墨烯层堆叠序列相关,本申请的负极材料中出现衍射峰a和衍射峰b,且衍射峰a的峰强度高于衍射峰b的峰强度,代表形成的石墨中存在不稳定斜方六面体结构,能够更容易进行脱嵌锂,从而能够降低电池的内阻。在一些实施方式中,2≤I a/I b≤6。
在一些实施方式中,400≤I a≤2500。在一些实施方式中,0≤I b≤600。
在一些实施方式中,通过X射线衍射法测试,负极材料的004晶面衍射峰面积C004与110晶面衍射峰面积C110的比值满足1≤C004/C110≤4。C004/C110的比值是反映负极材料晶体取向度的一个参数,C004/C110值越大,晶体取向度越高,活性离子在负极材料中脱嵌的面就越局限,C004/C110越小,晶体取向度越低,活性离子可以在负极材料的多个方向进行脱嵌。本申请负极材料的C004/C110在上述范围内,活性离子可以快速在负极材料中脱嵌,从而进一步改善二次电池的动力学性能。在一些实施方式中,1≤C004/C110≤3。
在一些实施方式中,通过X射线衍射法测试,负极材料沿a轴方向的平均堆积厚度为La,100nm≤La≤160nm。在一些实施方式中,通过X射线衍射法测试,负极材料沿c轴方向的平均堆积厚度为Lc,18nm≤Lc≤30nm。La表示负极材料晶体沿a轴方向的平均大小,Lc代表负极材料的微晶片沿与其垂直的c轴方向进行堆积的厚度。La和Lc的值可以表征负极材料的石墨化程度,La和Lc越大,负极材料的克容量越高。但Lc和La值过高时,虽然负极材料的克容量变大,但其循环性能会降低。本申请负极材料的Lc和La值在上述范围内,负极材料具有高克容量的同时循环性能不会明显降低。在一些实施方式中,110nm≤La≤160nm。在一些实施方式中,20nm≤Lc≤30nm。
在一些实施方式中,负极材料的Dn10≥0.4μm。Dn10可以表征负极材料中细粉的含量,该值越小代表负极材料中的细粉越多。细粉含量过多时,负极材料在首次嵌锂过程中会消耗更多的锂离子,进而导致首效降低。在一些实施方式中,负极材料的Dn10≥0.5μm。
在一些实施方式中,负极材料的Dv10和Dv90满足:5≤Dv90/Dv10≤25。Dv90/Dv10表示负极材料中粒径分布的集中性,该值越大说明材料粒径分布越分散,反之则越集中。负极材料的体积分数相同,其粒径越大,分布越宽,相应的负极浆料的粘度越小,进而可以提高固含量,减小涂布难度。同时粒径分布较宽时,小颗粒能够填充在大颗粒的空隙中,有助于增加极片的压实密度,提高二次电池的体积能量密度。此外,颗粒形态也会对二次电池的倍率性能以及低温性能等产生较大影响。本申请负极材料的Dv90/Dv10在上述范围内,包括该负极材料的二次电池具有高能量密度,同时其倍率性能以及低温性能等电性能不会降低。在一些实施方式中,5≤Dv90/Dv10≤15。
在一些实施方式中,负极材料的Dv90为30μm至65μm。在一些实施方式中,负极材料的Dv10为2μm至8μm。负极材料的颗粒过大会使其浆料加工性能变差,过小会降低其首效。在一些实施方式中,Dv90为30μm至60μm。在一些实施方式中,Dv10为3μm至7μm。
在一些实施方式中,负极材料的5t粉末压实密度为C,1.5g/cm 3/≤C≤2.5g/cm 3。粉末压实密度代表负极材料在压制时可以被压缩的程度,该值越大,代表压制时可以压缩的更多,相应的二次电池的体积能量密度就越高。本申请负极材料的粉末压实密度在上述范围内,包括该负极材料的二次电池具有高的能量密度。在一些实施方式中,1.8g/cm 3/≤C≤2.1g/cm 3

在一些实施方式中,球形化处理过程包括:对包含石墨复合材料与分散剂溶液的混合物施加来自转盘、内壁以及颗粒之间连续的冲击力、压缩力和剪断力,使得石墨复合材料球形化。在一些实施方式中,球化的时间为10min至20min。在一些实施方式中,通过使用球形化装置对混合物施加冲击力、压缩力和剪断力,从而进行混合物的碰撞、摩擦、剪切和弯曲折叠,由此,去除石墨复合材料棱角同时达到微粉固定到大颗粒上的效果。在一些实施方式中,球形化装置为混合造粒机。在一些实施方式中,球形化装置的转速为30Hz至50Hz。在一些实施方式中,分散剂溶液为羧甲基纤维素(CMC)的水溶液。在一些实施方式中,分散剂溶液中羧甲基纤维素的质量含量为0.5%至2%。在一些实施方式中,基于石墨复合材料的质量,分散剂溶液的质量含量为5%至20%。
在一些实施方式中,包覆处理过程包括:采用沥青对球化后的石墨复合材料进行包覆处理。在一些实施方式中,基于球化后的石墨复合材料的质量,沥青的质量含量为2%至15%。在一些实施方式中,碳化处理的温度为900℃至1500℃。
在第二方面,本申请提供了一种二次电池,其包括负极,负极包括负极集流体和设置在负极集流体的至少一个表面上的负极活性材料层,其中,负极活性材料层包括第一方面的负极材料。
在一些实施方式中,负极还包括位于负极活性材料层和负极集流体之间的导电涂层。在一些实施方式中,导电涂层包括碳纤维、科琴黑、乙炔黑、碳纳米管和石墨烯中的至少一种。导电涂层能够起到传导电子的作用,电荷转移阻抗显著降低,进而能够进一步提升二次电池的动力学性能。在一些实施方式中,导电涂层的厚度为0.5μm至1.2μm。
在第三方面,本申请提供了一种电子装置,其包括第二方面的二次电池。
本申请通过将石墨材料进行球形化、包覆以及碳化处理,有助于降低石墨材料的粒径,将不规则的形貌转化为规则球形形貌,进而显著提升负极材料的动力学性能,从而进一步降低二次电池的内阻,提升二次电池的综合性能。
