Description

负极材料及其制备方法、锂离子电池
本申请要求于2023年9月27日提交国家知识产权局,申请号为202311279012.8、发明名称为“负极材料及其制备方法、锂离子电池”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及负极材料技术领域,具体地讲,尤其涉及负极材料及其制备方法、锂离子电池。
背景技术
锂离子电池凭借较高的能量密度、循环寿命长、环境污染小和无记忆效应等优点,已在可携带电子设备、电动汽车、无人机等领域取得了广泛的应用。近年来,随着锂离子电池应用场景的进一步丰富,对其性能的需求也日益升高。锂离子电池的性能指标与电极材料密切相关,因此非常有必要进一步提升锂离子电池负极材料的性能。石墨材料已在锂离子电池负极材料领域取得广泛的商业应用,但传统石墨材料依然存在如与电解液相容性差、固体电解质界面膜(SEI)不稳定等缺点,造成材料初始库仑效率偏低、动力学传输变差和循环容量持续衰减。研究发现,通过使用各种改性剂对石墨进行表面包覆复合可以提升石墨材料的电化学性能。
目前,包覆层主要分为碳质材料和非碳质材料两类。碳质材料包覆往往采用沥青或树脂为包覆前驱体,通过固相或液相混合并高温碳化处理,前驱体转化为软炭或硬碳材料复合在石墨颗粒上,能够实现石墨材料比表值降低、电解液相容性改善。但沥青或树脂碳化后的产物本质仍为碳材料,低电位下依然会与电解质组分发生不可逆反应,导致石墨材料界面层不断分解并修复重组,造成电池容量持续衰减。
因此,如何增强负极材料的界面稳定性,减少界面副反应,是目前仍需解决的技术问题之一。

应当理解,本文中使用的术语“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
第一方面,本申请提供一种负极材料,如图2所示,所述负极材料包括内核及位于所述内核至少部分表面的复合层,所述内核包括石墨,所述复合层包括碳质材料和非碳质材料。
本申请提供的负极材料中,负极材料包括内核及位于内核至少部分表面的复合 层,内核包括石墨,复合层包括碳质材料和非碳质材料,通过复合层中碳质材料与非碳质材料的协同作用,能够降低负极材料的比表面积,改善负极材料的高温存储性能和极片加工性能;还可以提高负极材料的界面稳定性,减少界面副反应,增强电解液浸润性,改善锂离子传输效率,提升负极材料的可逆容量、首次效率和倍率性能。
在一些实施方式中,所述石墨包括天然石墨、人造石墨和微晶石墨中的至少一种。
在一些实施方式中,所述内核的中值粒径为D50,0.5μm≤D50≤30μm,具体可以是0.5μm、1μm、3.5μm、5μm、8μm、10μm、12μm、15μm、18μm、19.7μm、21.3μm、24.5μm、26.1μm、28.4μm、29μm或30μm等,当然也还可以是上述范围内其他数值,在此不做限定。
在一些实施方式中,所述石墨中碳元素的质量含量≥80%,具体可以是80%、85%、86%、87%、88%、89%、90%、91%、92%、93%、94%、95%、96%、98%或99%等,当然也还可以是上述范围内其他数值,在此不做限定。

在一些实施方式中,所述非碳质材料的化学通式为AxBy,其中,1≤x≤3,1≤y≤5,A元素包括Li、Na、K、Ca、Mg、Al、Zn、Ti、Nb、Zr、Mo、P、Si和B中的至少一种,B元素包括B、O、F、Si、P、S、Br和Cl中的至少一种。

在一些实施方式中,非碳质材料分散在碳质材料中。可以理解地,由于碳质材料由有机物碳化形成,在有机物碳化之前,非碳质材料可以以离子形态附着在有机物的表面或内部,实现均匀复合,形成交联穿插分布的非碳质材料与碳质材料构成的复合层。
在一些实施方式中,所述非碳质材料的平均粒径为G,且G≤150nm,具体可以是0.5nm、1nm、1.5nm、3.6nm、4.8nm、7nm、8.9nm、10nm、11.2nm、15nm、20nm、30nm、50nm、80nm、100nm、120nm、140nm或150nm等,但并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。当复合层中非碳质材料平均粒径过大时,非碳质材料难以在碳质材料中均匀分布,导致负极材料的比表高和界面锂离子传输性能变差。

在一些实施方式中,所述石墨的粉末电导率为E1,所述负极材料的粉末电导率为E2,E2与E1的比值为E,且1<E<1000。E的值具体可以是1.01、5、10、50、100、150、200、300、400、500、600、700、800、900或1000等,在此不做限定。需要说明的是,石墨即为未包覆的石墨原料的粉末电导率,负极材料的粉末电导率是指石墨包覆复合层后的电导率。E的值可以表示负极材料的电导率,E的值过小,负极材料的电导率难以得到提升。
在一些实施方式中,所述内核的比表面积为6m2/g~15m2/g,具体可以是6m2/g、6.8m2/g、7.9m2/g、8.7m2/g、9.5m2/g、10m2/g、11.3m2/g、12.4m2/g、13.5m2/g、14m2/g或15m2/g等,当然也还可以是上述范围内其他值,在此不做限定。

本申请中,负极材料包括内核及位于内核至少部分表面的复合层,复合层完整均匀地包覆在内核表面,可以降低负极材料的比表面积,将负极材料的比表面积控制在1m2/g~5m2/g范围内,有利于提升负极材料的高温存储性能与极片加工性能,进而有利于提高由该负极材料制成的锂离子电池的循环性能。

与实施例1相比,对比例2的负极材料在制备过程中,直接将天然石墨材料与非碳质材料进行复合,制备得到的负极材料中包覆层为单一的非碳质材料包覆层,负极材料的比表面积较大,材料与电解液之间的接触增加,界面副反应加剧,材料的表界面稳定性下降,锂离子传输效率降低,导致负极材料的粉末电导率下降,其可逆容量与倍率性能下降,首次效率也明显降低。
实施例9和对比例3采用人造石墨为原料,与实施例9相比,对比例3的负极 材料在制备过程中直接将第一前驱体进行碳化处理,制备得到的负极材料中包覆层为单一的碳包覆层,负极材料表面稳定性较低,低电位下与电解液的副反应更剧烈,其首次库伦效率、粉末电导率和倍率性能等性能指标均出现不同程度的恶化。
