Problems solved by technology

However, the above scheme still has the following defects: (1) Since high-nickel materials, especially NCM or NCA materials with a Ni content greater than 85%, are sensitive to water, even if they are directly washed with water for a short period of time, some materials in the lattice may be removed. Li + Dissolution produces cubic phase NiO-like species with no electrochemical activity, which destroys the crystal structure of the material, thus affecting the electrochemical performance of the material, such as the reduction of reversible capacity and poor cycle performance; (2) After washing, the material needs to be dehydrated, re- Drying and other multi-step processes will cause loss of raw materials

Abstract

The invention belongs to the lithium ion battery technology field, and relates to a method for reducing surface alkalinity of a high-nickel positive electrode material, the positive electrode materialand a lithium battery. The method for reducing the surface alkalinity of the high-nickel positive electrode material comprises the step of mixing an alcohol solution of lithium salt and manganese salt mixed according to a certain molar ratio with a high-nickel ternary, drying and sintering to obtain the high-nickel positive electrode material coated with LixMnO2. By using the method of the invention, a damage to a surface structure of the material and losses of raw materials due to long-time washing of a large amount of water can be avoided, and electrochemical properties such as material circulation and the like are greatly improved. In addition, a residual alkali amount on the material surface can be effectively reduced, a technology is simple, a process is easy to control and the method is suitable for large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lithium batteries, and in particular relates to a method for reducing the surface alkalinity of a high-nickel positive electrode material, the positive electrode material and a lithium battery. Background technique [0002] Lithium battery cathode materials, especially high-nickel ternary NCM / NCA materials, due to the residual LiOH and Li 2 CO 3 The high impurity content (>0.7wt%) will seriously affect the pulping and coating process of the positive electrode of the battery, and will also affect the safety and cycle performance of the battery. The existing standard process: water washing or water washing + coating has a more obvious effect in removing alkaline lithium-containing impurities, but there are also obvious disadvantages. For example, the existing water washing and coating process will sacrifice the electrochemical performance of the material (capacity reduction , cycle becomes worse), especially for...
