Description

Carbon negative electrode material, preparation method thereof and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials, relates to a negative electrode material, and in particular relates to a carbon negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery.
Background
Lithium ion batteries have been used in various aspects of people's daily life as a well-established electrochemical power system, but their performance has not yet been fully satisfactory for various applications. The most widely used lithium ion battery negative electrode material is graphite material which has a good layered structure, a stable discharge platform, small volume change in the lithium intercalation process and no voltage hysteresis, but the graphite negative electrode material has a capacity upper limit value and is difficult to break through; poor compatibility with electrolyte and poor liquid absorption capacity, resulting in poor battery cycling stability; the high-current charge and discharge performance and the multiplying power performance are improved; the material cost is high and needs to be further reduced.
In the production process of the graphite as a negative electrode material, raw materials such as various cokes, carbon microspheres, natural crystalline flake graphite and the like need to be subjected to multiple processes such as crushing, shaping, grading and the like, and the processes can cause the problems of reduced raw material utilization rate, dust environmental pollution, increased process cost and the like, so that the raw material utilization rate in the whole production process can reach 40% -50% in a combined way, and the rest 50% -60% can become "tails", which are composed of a plurality of micro powder, and the materials have the characteristics of small granularity, high specific surface area, irregular morphology, low tap density, poor processability, low compaction density, low specific capacity, low coulombic efficiency, poor electric conductivity, short cycle life and the like. Therefore, a proper method is needed to find out the "tailing" left in the production process, and reuse the tailing for the negative electrode material, so that the utilization value of the material is improved, the production cost of the negative electrode material is reduced, and the requirement of high performance of the lithium ion battery is met, which is a technical problem to be solved in the field.
CN107200322a discloses a method for preparing a negative electrode material for a lithium battery by utilizing special graphite tailing. The method comprises the following steps: s1, performing sphericizing treatment on special graphite tailing particles, then adding a binder and uniformly mixing to obtain a premix; s2, performing ultrasonic dispersion on graphene oxide in a solvent to obtain suspension dispersion liquid, standing, taking upper stable dispersion liquid, and uniformly spraying and mixing the upper stable dispersion liquid into the premix in the S1 to obtain a mixture; s3, compacting the mixture in the step S2 to obtain a briquette, roasting the briquette under the mixed atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen, cooling to room temperature, and sequentially carrying out crushing, demagnetizing and screening on the briquette to obtain the composite material.
CN107863511a discloses a method for preparing negative electrode powder for lithium batteries by recycling high-purity graphite corner material. The method comprises the following steps: sl. spheroidizing special graphite tailing particles, adding a binder, and uniformly mixing to obtain a premix; s2, mixing graphene oxide and nano silicon in proportion, performing ultrasonic dispersion in a solvent to obtain suspension dispersion liquid, standing, and uniformly spraying and mixing the upper stable dispersion liquid into premix in the S I to obtain a mixture, wherein the upper stable dispersion liquid can be regarded as a dispersion system of the graphene oxide and the nano silicon powder; and (3) compacting the mixture in the step (S2) to obtain a briquette, roasting the briquette under the mixed atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen, cooling to room temperature, and sequentially crushing, demagnetizing and screening the briquette to obtain the negative electrode material for the lithium battery.
Although the two schemes can realize high-value utilization of the graphite tailings to a certain extent, the types of the graphite tailings are limited to special graphite tailings, the universality is poor, and the performance of the obtained negative electrode material needs to be further improved.
CN104766954a discloses a method for recycling artificial graphite fine powder as a negative electrode material, which comprises the following steps: step A: taking tailing generated in the production process of the artificial graphite cathode material of the lithium battery as a raw material, adding a binder and a pore-forming agent, kneading and granulating at a certain temperature, rolling or pressing, and carbonizing at a high temperature; and (B) step (B): crushing, shaping and spheroidizing the carbonized material to obtain spherical or elliptic graphite powder meeting the requirement of a particle size range, graphitizing at high temperature, and adding the tailing collected again in the crushing/spheroidizing process into the step A to be used as a raw material for recycling; step C: and (3) performing granularity allocation on the spheroidized powder, and filling gaps among the particles. The scheme can utilize the tailing generated in the production process of the artificial graphite negative electrode material of the lithium battery, but the electrochemical performance of the obtained negative electrode material needs to be further improved.
Therefore, development of a method capable of effectively solving the problem of 'tailing' left in the production process of graphite negative electrode and obtaining high-performance negative electrode materials is of great significance to the field.
