实施例
以下,举出实施例及对比例来对本申请的实施方式进行更具体地说明。各种的试验及评价按照下述的方法进行。
测试方法和设备:
粒径的测试:
采用激光粒度仪MasterSizer 2000测试粒度分布,得到硅碳材料的粒径Dv10、Dv50-3、Dv90,第一石墨的粒径Dv50-1,第二石墨的Dv50-2。
硅碳材料中硅元素的质量百分含量的测试:
使用等离子体发射光谱仪(ICP)测量硅碳材料中的硅元素含量。将硅碳材料(0.05~0.2g)置于镍坩埚中,加入1.5g KOH(氢氧化钾)加盖碱融(400℃下加热45min),然后使用50ml沸水浸取60min,置于100ml容量瓶中定容,取出部分稀释后的溶液进行ICP测试。
硅碳材料的比表面积的测试:
使用比表面积分析仪(美国麦克仪器公司,TristarⅡ3020M),通过氮吸附法测量对各实施例和对比例的硅碳材料进行比表面积测试。其中,具体的测试依据国家标准GB/T19587-2017《气体吸附BET法测定固态物质比表面积》进行。
压实密度的测试:
将锂离子电池的电压控制在3.95V后(若锂离子电池电压低于3.95V,以0.2C充电至3.95V;若锂离子电池的电压高于3.95V,以0.2C放电至3.95V),拆解得到负极极片。在负极极片上冲取面积为S的小圆片,得到小圆片的质量和厚度,分别记为m和h;将小圆片上的第二负极材料层通过刻蚀的方式除掉,得到剥离第二负极材料层的小圆片的质量和厚度,分别记为m1和h1,将小圆片上的第一负极材料层通过刻蚀的方式除掉,得到负极集流体的质量和厚度,分别记为m2和h2。
第一负极材料层的压实密度C1=(m1-m2)/(h1-h2)/S。
第二负极材料层的压实密度C2=(m-m1)/(h-h1)/S。
最高不析锂充电倍率的测试:
将各实施例和对比例的锂离子电池在25℃下按照下述步骤进行充放电:静置30min,以0.2C电流恒流放电至3.0V;静置30min;以充电倍率0.5C恒流充电至4.5V,之后以4.5V恒压充电至0.05C时停止充电(此时为满充状态);即为一个充放电流程。对上述充放电流程循环50个周期后,对满充状态的锂离子电池进行拆解,观察负极极片是否析锂:若负极极片表面出现白色或灰色锂,则判定为析锂;反之,则判定为不析锂。
若不析锂,则取同一实施例或对比例制得的锂离子电池,以充电倍率逐次增大0.1C,其余充放电参数不变的情况下,重复上述步骤,直至负极极片出现析锂为止。
负极极片最后一次出现不析锂情况下的充电倍率定义为该锂离子电池析锂的最高不析锂倍率。最高不析锂倍率越大,表示锂离子电池越不容易发生析锂,即锂离子电池中负极极片表面析锂的问题得到越充分的缓解,锂离子电池的循环性能越好。
X射线衍射图谱(XRD)的测试:
将锂离子电池在25±3℃环境中静置30min,以0.2C电流将锂离子电池放电至3.0V,再以最高不析锂倍率恒流充电至4.5V后,将锂离子电池拆解得到负极极片,使用胶带将表层第二负极材料层粘下,用于第二负极材料层的第二石墨嵌锂度测试,将去除第二负极材料层后的负极极片用于第一负极材料层的第一石墨嵌锂度测试,分别对第二负极材料层和第一负极材料层石墨进行XRD表征。
对于第二负极材料层和第一负极材料层的区分,具体如下:取极片截面进行SEM/EDS表征,在EDS图像中Si元素区域的颜色与不含Si元素的区域颜色不同,两个区域之间有明显的分界,在此处作直线即得到第一负极材料层和第二负极材料层的分界线。对于各实施例以及对比例2,首先用胶带撕下负极极片表层,用于第二负极材料层的第二石墨嵌锂度测试。然后重复使用胶带撕掉部分负极极片,直至剩余负极极片厚度首次小于第一负极材料层和负极集流体的厚度之和,用于第一负极材料层的第一石墨嵌锂度测试。对于对比例1,只有第一负极材料层,表层和底层为负极极片厚度方向不同位置的差异,不必须以不同负极极片组成作为区分条件,首先用胶带撕下负极极片表层,用于表层石墨嵌锂度测试,然后重复使用胶带撕掉部分负极极片,直至剩余负极极片厚度首次小于第一负极材料层总厚度的1/2与负极集流体厚度之和,用于底层石墨嵌锂度测试。
其中,最高不析锂倍率根据“最高不析锂充电倍率的测试”中的测试方法得到,以负极极片不析锂情况下的最大充电倍率定义为锂离子电池的最高不析锂倍率。
容量保持率的测试:
将锂离子电池在25±3℃环境中静置30min,以最高不析理倍率恒流充电至4.5V,锂离子电池以4.5V恒压充电至0.05C时停止充电;锂离子电池静置30min;以0.5C电流将锂离子电池放电至3.0V,静置30min;按照同样的充放电流程循环300圈(cls),记录第300圈的放电容量为C300。以第2圈的放电容量作为100%容量基准值,记录第2圈的放电容量为C2。容量保持率(%)=C300/C2×100%。
能量密度的测试:
首先对锂离子电池按照下述操作流程充电,再进行放电,得出锂离子电池的放电容量。
充电:以0.2C恒流充电至4.5V,再以4.5V恒压充电至0.05C;
放电:以0.2C恒流放电至3.0V,得出放电能量E1;
锂离子电池充电步骤完成后,用激光测厚仪测试锂离子电池的长L、宽W、高H,得到锂离子电池的体积V=L×W×H。其体积能量密度(ED)可通过如下公式计算得到:ED(Wh/L)=E1/V。
