热交联制备三维黏结剂及对硅的储锂性能研究

Study on the thermal crosslinking preparation of 3D binder and its lithium storage performance for silicon

  • 摘要: 硅(Si)因其极高的理论比容量和环境友好性,被认为是极具潜力的锂离子电池阳极材料。然而,Si在循环过程中产生的剧烈体积变化易引发电极粉化和电接触失效,严重制约其实际应用。为此,本文采用瓜尔胶(GG)作为交联剂,聚丙烯酸(PAA)为主链,基于原位热交联策略,构建了一种共价酯键与氢键协同作用的新型三维交联网络黏结剂PA2G1。该黏结剂中的丰富极性官能团赋予其较高的弹性和黏附力,而GG的引入进一步增强了锂离子的传输能力,从而有效缓解Si颗粒的体积膨胀,并保证了电极良好的电连接。在此作用下,Si@PA2G1电极在0.5 A/g电流密度下循环50圈后厚度变化仅为7.95%,在1 A/g下经过300圈循环仍保持1 587.6 mAh/g的高比容量,容量保持率达62.6%,展现出优异的结构稳定性与电化学循环稳定性。

     

    Abstract: Silicon (Si) is regarded as a highly promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its exceptionally high theoretical capacity and environmental compatibility. However, the significant volume expansion of Si during cycling often leads to electrode pulverization and electrical contact failure, which significantly limits its practical application. To address this issue, this study employs guar gum (GG), a crosslinking agent and polyacrylic acid (PAA), as the main polymer backbone to construct a novel three-dimensional crosslinked binder, PA2G1, through an in situ thermal crosslinking strategy. The abundant polar functional groups in the binder endow itself with high elasticity and strong adhesion, while the incorporation of GG further enhances lithium-ion transport capability. Consequently, this binder effectively mitigates the volume expansion of Si particles and ensures stable electrical connectivity within the electrode. As a result, the Si@PA2G1 electrode exhibits only a 7.95% thickness variation after 50 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A/g. It retains a high specific capacity of 1 587.6 mAh/g after 300 cycles at 1 A/g, with a capacity retention rate of 62.6%. These findings demonstrate the excellent structural stability and electrochemical cycling performance of the proposed binder system.
