Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of lithium ion, a kind of preparation method who is used for silicon-based anode material of lithium-ion battery is provided.
Background technology
Mobile communication, laptop computer and digital vedio recording are three industries with fastest developing speed in the current global electronic information industry, along with developing rapidly of these industries, as the lithium ion battery of one of these three main accessories of leading products, undoubtedly also become a rising industry that has future.Compare with traditional Ni/Cd, Ni/MH battery, advantages such as lithium ion battery has energy density height, operating voltage height, load characteristic is good, charging rate is fast, safety non-pollution are a kind of secondary cells with fastest developing speed at present, that market prospects are the brightest.
Adopt lithium transition-metal oxide/graphite system in the present business-like lithium ion battery mostly, but limited by the theoretical lithium storage content of this system electrode itself (as graphite, 372mAh/g, 855mAh/cm
3), improve battery performance by the improvement battery preparation technique merely and be difficult to make a breakthrough, for satisfying the demand of high-capacity lithium ion cell, research and development height ratio capacity lithium ion battery electrode material is very urgent and necessary.
In the research of anticathode material, it is found that some alloy cpd may become the research new approaches of lithium ion battery negative material.All have higher lithium storage content as Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Al, Ga, Sb etc., therefore, alloy material becomes the candidate target of new type lithium ion battery negative material.But alloy material has a very big shortcoming, in charge and discharge process, can be attended by very large change in volume, this huge change in volume easily causes the material efflorescence, make some particle lose contact each other, even come off from electrode matrix, finally cause electrode capacity to reduce the lost of life.In order to improve and to improve the life-span of alloy material of cathode, the change in volume that the mitigation lithium takes off in the embedding process is a key point.One of them feasible solution be exactly can with the metal of lithium height chemical combination in introduce the component of the relatively poor or even inertia of relative activity, serve as buffering " matrix " cushioning the change in volume of electrode in the charge and discharge process, thereby keep the structural stability of material.
The theoretical lithium storage content of Si is 4200mAh/g, approach carbon negative pole material ten times.Yet the negative pole by pure Si powder constituent will be followed bigger change in volume in the removal lithium embedded process, thereby influence the cyclical stability of electrode.Studies show that can the volumetric expansion of buffer Si powder in the removal lithium embedded process with the composite electrode of Si and inert base composition.The source of inert base, kind, character, and the correlation of inert base and Si had a strong impact on the chemical property of silicon based composite material, as specific capacity, cycle performance and high rate performance.With low cost in view of silicon; specific capacity is high; therefore, research and develop that a kind of production cost is low, technology is simple, productive rate is high, be convenient to the synthetic method of silicon-based anode material of large-scale production for promoting the practical application of silicon-based anode material in lithium ion battery to have crucial meaning.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of preparation method of silicon-based anode material of lithium-ion battery.Realized that production cost is low, technology is simple, the process characteristic that productive rate is high; The uniform particles of synthetic silicon-based anode material powder is tiny, specific capacity height, stable cycle performance.
The present invention adopts magnesium reduction process synthesis of silica-base anode material, utilizes the oxide of magnesium powder as reducing agent reduction silicon, preparation silicon/magnesium oxide anode material, and concrete preparation technology is as follows:
The oxide powder of micron order, submicron order or nanoscale magnesium powder and silicon is carried out the weighing proportioning, and the addition of the oxide of magnesium powder and silicon was calculated according to the Mg/O atomic ratio in 0.1: 1~1.3: 1.
Adopt mechanical dry to mix or after the method for wet mixing mixes it, place inert atmospheres such as flowing nitrogen or argon gas, reach temperature required 500~1000 ℃, be incubated 0.5~6 hour, be cooled to room temperature then with the heating rate of 1~30 ℃/min.Perhaps adopt high-energy ball milling method directly to produce the Si/MgO anode material, ratio of grinding media to material 1: 1~50: 1,100~3000 rev/mins of rotating speeds, 0.5~100 hour ball milling time.
The oxide of described silicon is SiO or SiO

According to calculation of thermodynamics, some oxides of silicon can be reduced at normal temperatures by magnesium metal.Consider that from the dynamics angle reaction need be carried out at a certain temperature.Because the oxide of silicon generates elemental silicon after by magnesium-reduced, magnesium then is oxidized to magnesium oxide, magnesium oxide can prevent the volumetric expansion of elemental silicon in the removal lithium embedded process effectively, prevents the reunion of elemental silicon in course of reaction simultaneously, thereby can obtain good cyclical stability.
The invention has the advantages that: cost of material is low, technical process is simple, and has good electrochemical, and specific discharge capacity is up to 1350mAh/g, and stable cycle performance still can obtain the reversible specific capacity of 1000mAh/g in 5 circulations.
