应力对锂离子电池中空碳包覆硅负极电化学性能的影响
|
摘要
针对锂离子电池硅及其复合电极材料,采用Cahn-Hilliard型扩散方程与有限变形理论全耦合的电化学-力模型来描述其在循环锂化过程中的扩散和力学相关性问题,构造高效的数值算法,在商用有限元软件平台上实现对该理论的数值求解.在此基础上,研究了硅电极恒流锂化和脱锂过程,基于界面反应动力学,得到电压响应曲线,计算结果整体趋势与实验结果吻合较好,同时预测的应力响应也与实验结果一致,验证了本方法的有效性.其次,研究了中空碳包覆硅负极锂化过程中的电化学与力学行为,计算结果表明,锂化期间中空碳包覆硅负极应力水平明显低于实心硅负极,随锂化的进行,应力差值越来越大,锂化结束时应力值降低约27%,这种应力的缓解提高了整个电极内化学势水平,使得锂离子浓度水平显著提高,更易达到完全锂化状态.同时,数值研究表明应力水平的缓解延缓了中空碳包覆硅负极的容量衰减(容量提升74%),充分显示出该电极良好的电化学性能.本研究揭示了应力对硅复合电极容量影响的作用机制,为将连续介质电化学-力耦合理论应用于实验预测提供了途径并为电极材料设计提供了理论依据.
Electrochemical-mechanical coupling mechanism plays an important role in stress relaxation and cycle stability during charging and discharging of lithium ion batteries. The hollow core-shell structure has become a research hotspot in recent years due to the dual effects of its carbon layer and internal voids on volume expansion. However, the theory of diffusion induced stress has not been used to determine how the elastoplastic deformation of amorphous silicon affects the electrochemical performance of silicon anodes with more complex geometries. Based on the Cahn-Hilliard type of material diffusion and finite deformation, a fully coupled diffusion-deformation theory is developed to describe the electrochemical-mechanical coupling mechanism of silicon-polar particles. According to the interface reaction kinetics, the voltage response curve is obtained. The overall trend of the calculated results accords well with the experimental results, and the predicted stress response is also consistent with the experimental result, and thus verifying the effectiveness of the method.Taking the hollow carbon-coated silicon structure that has received much attention in recent years as an example, we study the electrochemical and mechanical behavior during lithiation of hollow carbon-coated silicon anodes and the capacity decay and stress evolution after charge and discharge cycles. The numerical simulation results show that the stress level of the hollow carbon-coated silicon electrode is significantly lower than that of the solid silicon electrode during the whole lithiation. With the lithiation, the stress difference becomes larger and the stress value at the end of lithiation is reduced by about 27%. It fully shows the dual effects of carbon layer and internal pores on stress relaxation and release. In addition, the concentration gradient in the solid silicon negative electrode is too large, which will result in greater stress. In contrast, the lithium ion concentration inside the hollow carbon-coated silicon particles during lithiation is significantly higher than that of the solid silicon particles, and tends to be evenly distributed, which conduces to alleviating the mechanical degradation of the electrode. At the same time, the hollow carbon coated silicon electrode reaches the fully lithiated state earlier, which fully shows the excellent electrochemical performance of the hollow core-shell structure. Finally, the numerical calculation shows that the capacity attenuation is quite consistent with the experimental measurements. Mitigation of stress levels under structural control delays the attenuation of the capacity of hollow carbon-coated silicon anodes. The excellent cycle stability can be attributed to the dual effect of carbon coating and internal pores on volume expansion and stress relief.
