Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of secondary batteries, and relates to a silicon negative electrode material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The silicon material has the advantage of higher theoretical specific capacity as the lithium ion battery cathode, but the silicon is a semiconductor and has poor conductivity, and the volume expansion of the silicon cathode material in use causes material pulverization, thus causing the cycle life of the battery to be poor and the capacity to decay rapidly. The huge volume effect and lower conductivity limit the commercial application of silicon cathode technology. It was found that Si particles are dispersed in a matrix of carbon, and the volume change of Si during lithium intercalation and deintercalation can be absorbed by the carbon having elasticity, thereby improving the cycle performance of the electrode. However, the specific surface area of the nano-particle material is huge, side reactions with the electrolyte are increased in the circulation process, and the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the nano-particle material is limited.
The modified cladding of silicon is basically direct complex, lacks the transition layer, and the erosion of electrolyte to silicon still can't be avoided to the at utmost to solitary cladding, and along with the endless going on, the side reaction constantly takes place, worsens battery performance, is "soft" cladding simultaneously, goes to slow down the inflation of silicon, and non-initiative suppression is not obvious to the volume expansion effect.
CN104617269A discloses a silicon alloy composite negative electrode material, a preparation method and a lithium ion battery, wherein graphite and a silicon alloy coated on the surface of the graphite are used as an inner core, a shell is cracking carbon, and a nano-compounding, surface modification and coating modification technology is combined to prepare the silicon alloy composite negative electrode material with a core-shell structure. However, the composite material prepared by the method has high content of metal impurities, is easy to generate self-discharge and has poor high-temperature storage.
Therefore, how to effectively solve the problem of volume expansion of the nano silicon negative electrode material, and simultaneously avoid the corrosion of the electrolyte to silicon, and improve the electrochemical performance of the negative electrode material is a technical problem to be solved urgently.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a silicon anode material and a preparation method and application thereof. According to the invention, the lithium metaaluminate (LAO) transition layer is introduced between the nano silicon and the carbon layer, so that the effective modification of the nano silicon material is realized, the nano silicon material is prevented from directly contacting with the electrolyte, and the generation of side reaction is avoided; the volume expansion of silicon in the circulation process is inhibited from the material end, and the transition layer serves as a buffer layer at the same time, so that the volume change is effectively relieved, the structure of the electrode material is more stable, and the electrochemical performance of the material is improved.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the invention provides a silicon negative electrode material, which sequentially comprises a nano silicon inner core, an inorganic fast ion conductor transition layer coated on the surface of the nano silicon inner core, and a carbon coating layer positioned on the outermost layer from inside to outside, wherein the inorganic fast ion conductor comprises lithium metaaluminate.
In the invention, the lithium metaaluminate is used as a transition layer (in-situ grown on the surface of the nano silicon), so that the nano silicon core is prevented from directly contacting with the electrolyte, and the generation of side reaction is avoided; meanwhile, the hardness of LAO is higher than that of silicon, so that the volume expansion of silicon in the circulation process is inhibited from the material end, and the transition layer serves as a buffer layer at the same time, so that the volume change is effectively relieved, and the electrode material is more stable; the LAO can also provide an effective channel for the transmission of lithium ions, reduce the impedance caused by the thickening of an SEI film in the circulation process, facilitate the de-intercalation behavior of the lithium ions and have better dynamic performance.
In the present invention, if other types of ion conductors are selected, such as aluminum metaphosphate or lithium metaphosphate, incomplete coating and structural inhomogeneity occur, because the metaphosphate itself has a flocculation effect; if a sulfide electrolyte or other oxide solid electrolyte (such as lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide) is selected, low cost, easy operation, environmental friendliness and the like cannot be realized.
In the invention, the lithium metaaluminate is a single transition layer, but is not directly mixed with the carbon layer to form a layer, and if the lithium metaaluminate is mixed with the carbon layer to form a layer as a coating layer, the transmission of ions and electrons is affected, which is not favorable for performance.
Preferably, the nano-silicon core comprises a porous nano-silicon core.
When the inner core is in a porous nano silicon structure, the volume change caused by charging and discharging can be relieved better, and the service life of the electrode material is prolonged.

From the data results of the examples 1 and 6 to 7, it is known that too low calcination temperature results in low synthesis quality of gamma-type lithium metaaluminate, an effective coating layer cannot be formed, corrosion of electrolyte and acceleration of ion transmission cannot be avoided, and too high calcination temperature affects excessive volatilization of lithium salt in the synthesis process, generates various impurity phases, and hinders performance of the battery material.
From the data results of example 1 and example 8, it can be seen that the thickness of the transition layer of the inorganic fast ion conductor is too thick, which is not good for the transmission of ions, and results in the decrease of the dynamic and cycling performance of the battery.
From the data results of example 1 and example 9, it is known that the porous silicon core can better reduce the swelling effect of the cell itself and improve the electrical properties.
From the data results of example 1 and comparative examples 1-2, it is clear that in the silicon negative electrode material, the transition layer and the carbon coating layer are absent, and the transition layer and the carbon coating layer can act synergistically to realize excellent electrical properties of the battery.
From the data results of example 1 and comparative example 3, it is understood that the direct mixed coating of carbon and lithium metaaluminate cannot achieve the improvement of the battery material dynamics and deteriorates the cycle to some extent.
From the data results of example 1 and comparative example 4, it is known that the use of other ion conductors is not favorable for uniform formation of the coating layer, and corrosion of the electrolyte to the silicon core cannot be effectively inhibited, resulting in a decrease in cycle performance.
In conclusion, the inorganic fast ion conductor transition layer is coated on the surface of the nano silicon core in situ, and simultaneously, the inorganic fast ion conductor transition layer and the carbon coating layer on the outermost layer act synergistically, so that the effective modification of the nano silicon material is realized, the nano silicon material is prevented from being contacted with direct electrolyte, and the generation of side reactions is avoided; the volume expansion of silicon in the circulation process is inhibited from the material end, and the transition layer simultaneously serves as a buffer layer, so that the volume change is effectively relieved, the structure of the electrode material is more stable, and the electrochemical performance of the material is improved. When the battery adopts the cathode material provided by the invention, the rate capability can reach more than 90.9%; the capacity retention rate after 300 cycles under 0.1A.g can reach more than 87.5%.
