Background
A lithium battery is a type of battery using a nonaqueous electrolyte solution, using lithium metal or a lithium alloy as a positive/negative electrode material. The great power development of new energy power generation can bring great consumption pressure, and an energy storage system is an effective way for solving the consumption problem. The lithium battery is the existing storage battery with outstanding capacity and safety. Therefore, the lithium battery is indispensable in the field of energy storage.
The material cost is large in proportion to the cost of the lithium battery, and is mainly composed of a positive electrode material, a negative electrode material, a diaphragm and electrolyte. The anode material of the existing lithium battery mostly adopts artificial graphite, the manufacturing process of the artificial graphite can be divided into four major steps and more than ten minor procedures, and granulation and graphitization are key. The production process of the artificial graphite cathode material can be divided into four steps: 1. pretreatment, 2, granulation, 3, graphitization and 4, ball milling and screening. In the graphitization production, anthracite, coke or petroleum coke is used as a raw material, the raw material is crushed, added with coal tar and asphalt for kneading, extruded or compression molded, and roasted at 800-1300 ℃ for about 200-250 h to obtain the amorphous carbon material. And roasting at 2400-2800 ℃ for 60-70 h to crystallize carbon (generally called graphitization treatment) so as to obtain the graphite. The artificial graphite has the defects of high energy consumption, environmental pollution and high cost in production.
