Problems solved by technology

In addition, the intermediate product metatitanic acid H2TiO3 obtained in the process of producing nano-TiO2 by sulfuric acid method contains a certain amount of iron and chromium When using metatitanic acid to prepare battery-grade lithium titanate, these impurities must be removed first, thus increasing the process, so using metatitanic acid H2TiO3The method of preparing lithium titanate Li4Ti5O12 as a titanium source has received little attention at home and abroad
The literature "Preparation and Electrochemical Properties of Quasi-nanocrystalline Lithium Titanate" (Wang Xin, Bao Liying, Su Yuefeng, etc. "Nonferrous Metals", Volume 62, 17-21, 2010) has reported the use of metatitanic acid H2 TiO3 and lithium carbonate to prepare quasi-nanocrystalline Li4Ti5O12, and finally get is Li4Ti5O12 particles without carbon coating, so Li4Ti 5O12The disadvantage of poor electrical conductivity has not been improved, and the performance is poor
In addition, in the literature, ammonia water is used to remove metal ions contained in metatitanic acid. According to the basic principles of coordination chemistry, ammonia water is difficult to form stable complexes with iron ions, chromium ions, etc., so it is difficult to remove metatitanic acid with ammonia water. The main impurities such as iron ions and chromium ions contained in

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a cathode material carbon-coated lithium titanate for a lithium ion battery from metatitanic acid. According to the method, metatitanic acid H2TiO3 is used as a titanium source, lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide is used as a lithium source, and asphalt, phenolic resin or glucose is used as a carbon source. The carbon-coated lithium titanate Li4Ti5O12 / C can be obtained by washing metatitanic acid by oxalic acid and filtering, then uniformly mixing the three raw materials by a ball mill in a certain ratio, drying and then placing the mixture in a high-temperature heating furnace, and sintering in an inert gas shielding condition. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the selected titanium source, namely, metatitanic acid, is only about 1 / 5 of a titanium source, namely, titanium oxide TiO2 used in conventional lithium titanate preparation, so that the prepared Li4Ti5O12 / C is relatively low in cost, excellent in charge-discharge circulation performance, and capable of meeting requirements on cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. The method disclosed by the invention is simple in preparation process, easy for realization of industrial production, free from environmental pollution, and environmentally-friendly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a lithium ion battery negative electrode material, in particular to a negative electrode active material lithium titanate and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in various portable appliances such as mobile phones, notebook computers, and digital cameras since their commercialization in 1991. In recent years, with the rapid development of hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles, people have put forward higher requirements for the capacity, cycle life and safety of lithium-ion batteries as power sources. At present, the negative electrode active materials of commercial lithium-ion batteries use various graphite-based carbon materials, but graphite negative electrodes are prone to precipitate lithium dendrites under high-current charging and discharging conditions, so there are potential safety hazards. Compared with graphite...
