Background technology
Lithium ion battery is a kind of novel energy storage cell that grew up in recent years, concern so that it has extended cycle life, working voltage platform is steady, the advantage such as cheap and pollution-free is subject to people now has been widely used in the fields such as electric automobile, wind energy energy storage, mobile power station.
At present, lithium ion battery negative adopts graphite type material more, but the graphite negative electrodes material since cycle life is poor, fail safe is low etc. drawbacks limit its extensive use in field of batteries.Spinel type lithium titanate is a kind of zero strain material, have good cycle, with electrolyte reaction, the charging/discharging voltage platform is steady, safe, price is low and the advantage such as easy preparation, is the desirable negative material of preparation long-life, high security battery.Yet, point product stone type lithium titanate material self electronic conductance and ionic conductance are lower, and capacity attenuation is fast when high current charge-discharge, and high rate performance is relatively poor, affect its application under the high current charge-discharge condition, therefore improve the key that high rate performance becomes the lithium titanate practicalization.
At present, improve Li4Ti5012High rate performance is mainly by two approach: the one, lithium titanate is prepared into the nano barium titanate lithium material; The 2nd, doped conducting metal and material with carbon element.Chinese patent (publication number: CN101630732A) disclose the employing sol-gel process a certain proportion of carbon nano tube dispersion liquid and titanium, lithium compound and doped chemical solution mixed after, heat drying makes the gel precursor, and sintering obtains a kind of carbon nano-tube to coat particle diameter be the preparation method of nano level lithium titanate compound under the inert atmosphere.Same Chinese patent (application number: 201110000627.3) also disclose a kind of in lithium titanate directly doped carbon nanometer pipe prepare anode material, thereby improve the method for battery high rate performance.Yet, the composite negative pole material that said method makes, carbon nano-tube and lithium titanate just simply mix, and wherein carbon nano-tube is all relatively poor in lithium titanate surface distributed uniformity and adhesion, and is very limited to the increase rate of battery high rate performance.
Chinese patent (notification number: CN101969112A) disclose a kind of preparation method of negative material, be 100:(0.1~5 in mass ratio with negative material and catalyst) after the mechanical mixture, add in the thermal reaction apparatus, pass to carbon-source gas, and pass to protective gas as carrying source gas, cooling after being incubated 1~72 hour after being warmed up to 400~900 ℃, the mixture of formation negative material, catalyst and carbon nano-tube; Be 1:(1~100 with mixture and oxidant according to mass ratio again) add in the reactor, add water and stir into pastel; Again pastel is heated to 50~400 ℃ of lower reactions 1~20 hour, makes the composite negative pole material that is coated with carbon nano-tube.Yet the method course of reaction is complicated, the negative material less stable that makes, and the employing oxidation step can destroy the rock-steady structure of lithium titanate self, finally affects the cycle performance of battery.
