Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials, and particularly relates to a lithium ion battery anode material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Since birth, lithium ion batteries have revolutionary changes in the field of energy storage due to their advantages of rapid charging and discharging, good low-temperature performance, large specific energy, small self-discharge rate, small volume, light weight, and the like, and are widely used in various portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. However, with the improvement of living standard of people, higher user experience puts higher requirements on the lithium ion battery: longer standby time, faster charge and discharge speed, etc.; in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to find a new electrode material having more excellent properties.
At present, the commercial lithium ion battery anode materials are basically semiconductors or insulators, the conductivity of material particles is very poor, in order to solve the problems, the prior art mainly comprises the steps of pelletizing the material particles after nano-crystallization to obtain a secondary particle structure, adding a conductive material with excellent conductivity in the primary particle pelletizing process and the like so as to improve the conductivity of the whole particles of the anode material; and meanwhile, the surface of the material is coated by adopting a coating technology, so that the conductivity of the surface of the material is increased.
However, primary particles with a nano structure are extremely easy to agglomerate and have high dispersion difficulty; the commonly used conductive agent materials are generally small in size (nanometer), large in specific surface area and difficult to disperse. However, in order to maximize the conductive effect of the conductive agent and to prepare a lithium ion battery anode secondary particle material with better performance, the uniform dispersion of the nano primary particles and the conductive agent must be ensured. Meanwhile, the contact area between the primary particles of the nano structure and the conductive agent is small, and the gap is large, so that the contact resistance is relatively large, and the internal resistance of the prepared anode material finished product is large, so that the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion battery taking the anode material as the anode material is influenced (mainly expressed as large resistance, large polarization and serious heating).
In view of the above, there is a need for a lithium ion battery cathode material and a preparation method thereof, which can uniformly disperse two materials (nano primary particles and conductive agent) with high dispersion difficulty, and ensure that the two materials are tightly connected together, thereby preparing a lithium ion battery cathode material with excellent performance.
