초록

본 연구에서는 인조흑연의 낮은 이론용량을 개선하기 위하여 음극소재로서 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재의 전기화학적 성능을 조사하였다. 구형의 인조 흑연 표면을 polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) 양친성 물질로 코팅한 후 실리카를 성장시켜 흑연/실리카 소재를 합성하였으며, 석유계 피치 코팅과 마그네슘 열 환원법을 통해 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재를 제조하였다. 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재의 전극은 poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyacrylic acid (PAA) 바인더에 따라 제조하였으며, 다양한 전해액과 첨가제를 이용하여 전지를 조립하였다. 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재는 X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM)와 thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA)를 통해 물리적 특성을 분석하였으며, 전기화학적 특성은 충 방전 사이클, 율속, 순환전압전류, 임피던스 테스트를 통해 조사하였다. 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재는 흑연 : 실리카 : 피치 = 1 : 4 : 8일 때 높은 사이클 안정성을 보였다. PAA 바인더를 사용하여 제조된 전극은 높은 용량과 안정성을 보였으며, EC:DMC:EMC 전해액을 사용하였을 때 719 mAh/g의 높은 초기 용량과 우수한 사이클 안정성 나타내었다. 또한 vinylene carbonate (VC) 첨가시에 2 C/0.1 C 일 때 77% 용량 유지율과 0.1 C/0.1 C 일 때 88% 용량 회복을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

In this study, the electrochemical performance of Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composites as anode material was investigated to improve the low theoretical capacity of artificial graphite. Spherical artificial graphite surface was coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) amphiphiles material to synthesize Graphite/Silica material by silica islands growth. The Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composites were prepared by petroleum pitch coating and magnesiothermic reduction. The Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composite electrodes manufactured using poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) binders. The coin type half cell was assembled using various electrolytes and additives. The Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composites were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The electrochemical characteristics of Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composite were investigated by constant current charge/discharge, rate performance, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The Graphite/Silicon/Pitch composites showed high cycle stability at a graphite/silica/pitch ratio (1:4:8 wt%). When the electrode is prepared using PAA binder, the high capacity and stability is obtained. The coin type half cell assembled using EC: DMC: EMC electrolyte showed high initial capacity (719 mAh/g) and excellent cycle stability. The rate performance has an capacity retention (77%) at 2 C/0.1 C and an capacity recovery (88%) at 0.1 C / 0.1 C when the vinylene carbonate (VC) was added.
