- hard carbon Compared with graphite, hard carbon has a larger interlayer spacing, which is conducive to the rapid embedding and extraction of active ions, so that secondary batteries have excellent low-temperature performance, power performance and safety performance.
- hard carbon has unique advantages.
- most of the commercialized hard carbons are low-capacity hard carbons with low capacity and first coulombic efficiency.
- the capacity is usually between 200mAh/g and 280mAh/g, and the first coulombic efficiency is usually less than 75%, which severely limits its practical application.
- the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a carbonaceous material, which has a higher gram capacity, a higher first coulombic efficiency and a higher structural stability, and can make the secondary battery have a high energy density, a long service life and good rate performance.
- the carbonaceous material provided in the present application satisfies an adsorption rate v of 0.015 ⁇ v ⁇ 0.050 when subjected to an adsorption test using water vapor under constant temperature and humidity conditions of 25°C and 40% RH.
- the stacking thickness of the carbonaceous material is ⁇ 5mm.
- the test time at this time is recorded, which is the water vapor adsorption time t.
- the water vapor adsorption mass m2 (i.e., the mass increased when the carbonaceous material adsorbs water vapor to reach equilibrium) is obtained by subtracting the initial mass m1 of the carbonaceous material from the total mass of the carbonaceous material obtained at this time.
- RH relative Humidity
- the carbonaceous materials provided in this application can take into account higher gram capacity, higher first coulombic efficiency and higher structural stability, and can make the secondary battery have high energy density, long service life and good rate performance at the same time.
- the inventors of this application speculate that a possible reason is that when the water vapor adsorption rate v is between 0.015 and 0.050, the carbonaceous material of this application has high structural stability and a unique pore structure, which can facilitate the embedding, storage and extraction of active ions, and thus the carbonaceous material of this application can take into account higher gram capacity and first coulombic efficiency, and can make the secondary battery have high energy density, long service life and good rate performance at the same time.
- the inventors of the present application discovered that under the constant temperature and humidity conditions of 25°C and 40% RH, water vapor will preferentially adsorb into the capillary structure (i.e., microporous structure and/or small mesoporous structure) of the carbonaceous material, and usually will not enter the large mesoporous structure and/or macroporous structure of the carbonaceous material. Therefore, the water vapor adsorption rate v under the constant temperature and humidity conditions of 25°C and 40% RH can intuitively reflect the content of sites suitable for active ion storage in the carbonaceous material.
- the carbonaceous material contains very few capillary structures, and the pore structure is mostly large mesoporous structure and/or macroporous structure. Therefore, the structural stability of the carbonaceous material is poor and the space contained inside that can accommodate active ions is very small, which is not suitable for the storage of active ions, and thus the gram capacity of the carbonaceous material is still relatively low; in addition, since the pore structure is mostly large mesoporous structure and/or macroporous structure, this also leads to an increase in the proportion of electrolyte infiltration area inside the carbonaceous material, an increase in the consumption of active ions during the formation of the solid electrolyte interface membrane (hereinafter referred to as SEI membrane), an increase in the first irreversible capacity loss, and thus the gram capacity and first coulombic efficiency of the carbonaceous material are both relatively low.
- SEI membrane solid electrolyte interface membrane
- the specific surface area of the carbonaceous material is relatively high, which leads to an increase in the consumption of active ions during the formation of the SEI film, an increase in the first irreversible capacity loss, and a decrease in the first coulombic efficiency.
- the carbonaceous material has a strong water absorption capacity.
- some water molecules will be firmly combined with the functional groups (such as oxygen-containing functional groups) on the surface of the carbonaceous material by chemical bonds, so that the water molecules are not easy to remove, which will block the capillary structure of the carbonaceous material and hinder the embedding and removal of active ions.
- the water molecules adsorbed on the surface of the carbonaceous material may also react with the electrolyte, which will also lead to a decrease in the gram capacity and the first coulombic efficiency of the carbonaceous material.
- v may be 0.016, 0.018, 0.020, 0.022, 0.024, 0.026, 0.028, 0.030, 0.032, 0.034, 0.036, 0.038, 0.040, 0.042, 0.044, 0.046, 0.048, 0.050 or any value within the above range, optionally, 0.018 ⁇ v ⁇ 0.050, 0.020 ⁇ v ⁇ 0.050. This helps to further improve the gram capacity, first coulombic efficiency and structural stability of the carbonaceous material, and further improve the energy density, service life and rate performance of the secondary battery.
- the water vapor adsorption time t when the carbonaceous material adsorbs water vapor to reach equilibrium is 1h-12h.
- the water vapor adsorption time t when the carbonaceous material adsorbs water vapor to reach equilibrium is 3h-12h, 4h-12h, 4h-9h, 4.5h-7h.
- the carbonaceous material contains more capillary pore structures.
- the skeleton structure of the carbonaceous material is relatively fragile and easily collapses to form larger pores, which in turn leads to an increase in the proportion of the electrolyte infiltration area inside the carbonaceous material, an increase in the first irreversible capacity loss, and a decrease in the first coulombic efficiency;

- the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a carbonaceous material, comprising the following steps: S10, providing a carbon source: the carbon source is a cellulose biomass material; S20, low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment: heating the carbon source to a first temperature T1 at a first heating rate under a protective gas atmosphere, and then keeping it warm for a first time t1 to obtain a first intermediate product; S30, high-temperature carbonization treatment: heating the obtained first intermediate product to a second temperature T2 at a second heating rate under a protective gas atmosphere, and then keeping it warm for a second time t2 to obtain a carbonaceous material, wherein the adsorption rate v of the carbonaceous material under constant temperature and humidity conditions of 25°C and 40% RH when adsorbed using water vapor satisfies 0.015 ⁇ v ⁇ 0.050.
- the present application uses cellulose biomass materials as carbon sources to prepare carbonaceous materials.
- Cellulose is a chain macromolecular organic substance with high crystallinity in biomass materials. On the one hand, it has high thermal stability and a wide range of adjustable parameters for pyrolysis process. On the other hand, the pore structure formed by chain macromolecular organic substances in the process of converting into carbonaceous materials is highly controllable, which can make it have a suitable water vapor adsorption rate and also help to improve the platform capacity.
- the carbon source does not use cellulose biomass materials or the biomass materials used do not contain cellulose, the controllability of the pore structure of the carbonaceous material prepared therefrom is poor, and the content of the capillary pore structure is small, which is manifested as a too small water vapor adsorption rate.
- the cellulose content in the cellulose biomass material may be greater than 0wt% and less than or equal to 100wt%, and may be selected as 10wt%-100wt%, 20wt%-100wt%, 30wt%-100wt%, and 40wt%-100wt%. This is conducive to increasing the controllability of the pore structure of the carbonaceous material and making it have a suitable water vapor adsorption rate.
- the preparation process of carbonaceous materials includes at least a low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment process and a high-temperature carbonization treatment process.
- Low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment can regulate the structural characteristics and surface characteristics of the carbon skeleton, and appropriately improve the carbon yield; at the same time, it can reduce the toughness of cellulose biomass materials, which is helpful for subsequent crushing and washing and impurity removal.
- High-temperature carbonization treatment can cause a closed-pore effect on the biochar obtained by low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment, thereby reducing the contact area between the carbonaceous material and the electrolyte, that is, reducing the consumption of active ions during SEI film formation, and improving the first coulomb efficiency of the carbonaceous material; high-temperature carbonization treatment can also make the biochar obtained by low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment aromatic ring, thereby improving the order and conductivity of the carbonaceous material, while removing the excess O and H elements on the carbon skeleton structure, and helping to form an ordered pseudographite microcrystalline structure.
- the carbonaceous material obtained by the preparation method provided by the present application can take into account a higher gram capacity, a higher first coulombic efficiency and a higher structural stability, thereby enabling the secondary battery to have a high energy density, a long service life and good rate performance. And compared with the existing commercial hard carbon, the gram capacity, the first coulombic efficiency and the rate performance of the carbonaceous material obtained by the preparation method of the present application are significantly improved.
- Ash will not only produce catalytic reactions during the low-temperature pre-carbonization process, consume the C element content, and reduce the active ion storage sites, but also increase the complexity and production cost of the washing and impurity removal process; and, in the subsequent high-temperature carbonization process, the metal impurities in the ash will be reduced to metal elements and then agglomerated.
- the carbon skeleton structure When metal elements agglomerate, the carbon skeleton structure will collapse, especially the collapse of the capillary structure, which will lead to a reduction in the storage space of active ions in the obtained carbonaceous material and a decrease in capacity, which is manifested as a too low adsorption rate for water vapor; at the same time, metal impurities also have catalytic activity, which will lead to the aggravation of the decomposition of the carbon skeleton structure during the cracking process, so that the pore structure tends to form a large-sized mesoporous structure and/or a large-porous structure, thereby resulting in poor stability of the carbon skeleton structure and an increase in the proportion of the electrolyte infiltration area inside the obtained carbonaceous material, an increase in the consumption of active ions during the formation of the SEI film, and an increase in the first irreversible capacity loss.
- the ash content in the cellulose biomass material may be 0wt%-5wt%, optionally 0wt%-4wt%, 0wt%-3wt%, 0wt%-2wt%, 0wt%-1wt%. This can reduce the adverse effects of impurities on carbonaceous materials, improve the gram capacity, first coulomb efficiency and structural stability of carbonaceous materials, and also help reduce the true density of carbonaceous materials.
- the cellulose content in the cellulose biomass material is greater than 0 wt% and less than or equal to 100 wt%, and the ash content is 0 wt%-5 wt%.
- Cellulosic biomass materials can also contain hemicellulose.
- Hemicellulose is an amorphous polymer with a relatively small molecular weight in biomass materials. It is easy to decompose into small molecular sugars and volatilize during low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment, which is conducive to the formation of a pore structure; but its content should not be too high. When it is higher than 70wt%, it will cause poor stability of the carbon skeleton structure, poor closed-cell effect, increase in the content of large mesoporous structure and/or macroporous structure in the carbonaceous material, increase in the proportion of electrolyte infiltration area inside the carbonaceous material, increase in the first irreversible capacity loss, and reduce the first coulombic efficiency.
- the hemicellulose content in the cellulose biomass material may be 0wt%-70wt%, optionally 0wt%-60wt%, 0wt%-50wt%, 0wt%-40wt%, 0wt%-30wt%, 0wt%-20wt%.
- Cellulosic biomass materials may also contain lignin.
- Lignin is a macromolecular organic substance containing benzene rings and having a high degree of crosslinking. It helps to form carbon hexagonal rings during low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment, helps to improve the stability of the carbon skeleton structure, and is beneficial to improving the rate performance of secondary batteries; but the controllability of the pore structure formed by it is poor, so when its content is too high, for example, greater than 60wt%, it will cause the capacity of the obtained carbonaceous material platform to be limited.
- the lignin content in the cellulosic biomass material is 0wt%-60wt%, and can be optionally 5wt%-60wt%, 10wt%-60wt%, 10wt%-50wt%, and 15wt%-50wt%.

- the cellulose content in the cellulose biomass material is greater than or equal to 20wt% and less than 100wt%, the hemicellulose content is 0wt%-30wt%, the lignin content is 10wt%-60wt%, and the ash content is 0wt%-2wt%.
- the cellulose content in the cellulose biomass material may be 100wt%, that is, the cellulose biomass material may directly use cellulose as a carbon source. This helps the obtained carbonaceous material to have a high capacity, but the stability of the carbon skeleton structure formed during the preparation process is slightly reduced, thereby causing a slight decrease in the effect of improving the rate performance of the secondary battery.
- the cellulose content can be detected by acid hydrolysis anthrone colorimetry.

- the preparation method further comprises the step of: pre-treating the cellulose biomass material.
- the pre-treatment process may include crushing, washing and drying steps. Crushing the cellulose biomass material is helpful for loading. Washing can remove impurities that are obviously attached to the surface of the cellulose biomass material to prevent them from affecting the subsequent low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment process. Drying can remove moisture attached to the surface of the cellulose biomass material and part of the body moisture, thereby reducing the impact of moisture on the subsequent low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment process.
- the first heating rate is ⁇ 10°C/min, and can be selected from 1°C/min-10°C/min, 1°C/min-5°C/min, and 1°C/min-3°C/min.
- the first heating rate is within a suitable range, it helps the obtained carbonaceous material to have a suitable water vapor adsorption rate, high capacity, high first coulombic efficiency, and high structural stability.

- the pore structure As the first temperature increases, the pore structure is formed more completely and the content of capillary pore structure increases; but when the first temperature is too high, the volatilization rate of the volatile matter is accelerated, the size of the formed pore structure becomes larger, the stability of the carbon skeleton structure becomes worse, and it will also lead to poor closed-cell effect during high-temperature carbonization treatment, increase in the content of large mesoporous structure and/or macroporous structure in the carbonaceous material, increase in the proportion of electrolyte infiltration area inside the carbonaceous material, increase in the first irreversible capacity loss, decrease in the first coulombic efficiency, and at the same time, decrease in the content of capillary pore structure in the carbonaceous material, which is manifested as a lower water vapor adsorption rate.
- the first time t1 is 1h-20h, and can be 5h-20h.
- Those skilled in the art can select a suitable first time within the above range according to the first temperature and the first heating rate. For example, when the first temperature is high and/or the first heating rate is low, the first time can be appropriately shortened.

- the second temperature T2 is 1200°C-1500°C.
- the second temperature is within a suitable range, it is helpful for the obtained carbonaceous material to have a suitable water vapor adsorption rate, high capacity and high first coulombic efficiency.
- the carbonaceous material When the second temperature is low, there are more oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the carbonaceous material, and these oxygen-containing functional groups have better hydrophilicity, so the carbonaceous material will show a fast water vapor adsorption rate and short adsorption time, but at this time the pore structure has a poor closed-cell effect, and there are more large mesoporous structures and/or macroporous structures in the carbonaceous material, which leads to an increase in the proportion of electrolyte infiltration areas inside the carbonaceous material, an increase in the first irreversible capacity loss, and a decrease in the first coulombic efficiency.
- the closed-cell effect of the pore structure becomes better, thereby reducing the consumption of active ions during SEI film formation, and the active ion storage sites of the carbonaceous material increase, thereby increasing its capacity and first coulombic efficiency; but when the second temperature is too high, the microstructure of the carbonaceous material will undergo a qualitative change, which is not conducive to the storage of active ions, and is manifested as a decrease in the water vapor adsorption rate.
- the second time t2 is 1h-12h, and can be 3h-10h.
- Those skilled in the art can select a suitable first time within the above range according to the second temperature and the second heating rate. For example, when the second temperature is high and/or the second heating rate is low, the second time can be appropriately shortened.

Because the agglomeration of metal elements will cause the collapse of the carbon skeleton structure, especially the collapse of the capillary structure, which will lead to a reduction in the storage space of active ions in the obtained carbonaceous material and a decrease in capacity; at the same time, the metal impurities also have catalytic activity, which will lead to the aggravation of the decomposition of the carbon skeleton structure during the cracking process, so that the pore structure tends to form a large-sized large mesoporous structure and/or a large-porous structure, thereby increasing the proportion of the electrolyte infiltration area inside the obtained carbonaceous material, increasing the consumption of active ions during SEI film formation, increasing the first irreversible capacity loss, and reducing the first coulomb efficiency.

- the crushing treatment needs to be performed before the washing and impurity removal treatment, so that during the subsequent washing and impurity removal, the first intermediate product can expose as much surface as possible, so that the particles and the washing liquid can fully contact and improve the washing and impurity removal effect. If the crushing treatment is performed after the washing and impurity removal treatment, some large pieces of raw materials will basically remain in their original appearance after pyrolysis, and the washing liquid may not be able to enter the bulk phase of the large particles, and then the impurities deeply wrapped in the bulk phase of the large particles cannot be removed, resulting in an insignificant washing and impurity removal effect.

- the carbonaceous materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-7 have a water vapor adsorption rate v of either less than 0.015 or greater than 0.050 under constant temperature and humidity conditions of 25°C and 40% RH, which cannot enable the carbonaceous materials to have both a higher gram capacity, a higher first coulombic efficiency and good rate performance.
- Comparative Example 1 uses rice husk as a carbon source, and its ash content is higher than 5wt%. Since the ash will not only produce a catalytic reaction during the low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment, consume the C element content, and reduce the active ion storage sites, but also reduce the metal impurities in the ash to metal elements and then agglomerate during the subsequent high-temperature carbonization treatment. The agglomeration of metal elements will cause the collapse of the carbon skeleton structure, especially the collapse of the capillary structure, which will lead to a reduction in the storage space of active ions in the obtained carbonaceous material, and a decrease in capacity, which is manifested as a too low water vapor adsorption rate.
- the metal impurities also have catalytic activity, which will lead to an aggravated decomposition of the carbon skeleton structure during the cracking process, and make the pore structure tend to form a large-sized large mesoporous structure and/or a large-porous structure, thereby resulting in an increase in the proportion of the electrolyte infiltration area inside the obtained carbonaceous material, an increase in the consumption of active ions during SEI film formation, an increase in the first irreversible capacity loss, and a decrease in the first coulombic efficiency.
- Comparative Example 2 when preparing the carbonaceous material, no low-temperature pre-carbonization treatment was performed, which resulted in poor closed-pore effect of the carbonaceous material, low content of capillary pore structure and high content of large mesoporous structure and/or macroporous structure, and thus a high proportion of electrolyte infiltration area inside the carbonaceous material, high first irreversible capacity loss, and low first coulombic efficiency.
- the carbonaceous material can have a higher gram capacity, first coulombic efficiency and/or rate performance.
