Effect of Pitch Carbon Coating on Electrochemical Properties of Spherical Graphite

Abstract

This is an article in the field of mineral materials. The effect of pitch softening point on the structure and electrochemical performance of pitch carbonized spherical crystalline graphite anode materials were systematically investigated. The results show that a layer of amorphous carbon is formed on the surface of graphite after carbonization of pitch, which improves the surface morphology of spherical crystalline graphite, but does not change its crystal structure; The composites with high pitch softening point have better electrochemical performance and cycling stability. After 280 cycles of temperature, the capacity of the composites is not significantly reduced after 30 cycles of charge discharge, and the capacity retention rate is 85.07%, which is 4.74% higher than that of the untreated ones.
