Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a cobalt-free positive electrode material, which comprises the following steps of: (1) preparing of a cobalt-free positive electrode material precursor:(1a) mixing a nickel salt solution and a manganese salt solution, adding a nano additive, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment; (1b) in a nitrogen atmosphere, adding the mixed solution into a reaction kettle, then adding a mixed alkali solution of strong alkali and ammonia water, adjusting the pH value to 9-12 and the reaction temperature to 40-60 DEG C, and washing, filtering and drying after the reaction is finished; and (2) high-temperature sintering: uniformly mixing lithium hydroxide with the powder obtained in the step (1b), calcining at a constant temperature of 700-1000 DEG C for 5-20 hours, and naturally cooling to obtain the cobalt-free positive electrode material. The method can be used for preparing a series of cobalt-free substitutes of NMC and NCA cathode materials, is simple in process, uniform in particle distribution, large in specific discharge capacity and good in cycle performance, realizes cobalt removal of the cathode materials, and reduces the cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of positive electrode materials for lithium ion batteries, and more specifically relates to a preparation method of a cobalt-free positive electrode material. Background technique [0002] Since the development of lithium-ion batteries, cobalt has played a crucial role in battery cathode chemistry—LiCoO 2 (LCO), LiNi 1-x-y mn x co y o 2 (NMC), LiNi 1-x-y co x al y o 2 (NCA) has been widely used in high-energy Li-ion batteries. Today, LiNi is the main cathode material for passenger electric vehicles (EV) 0.6 mn 0.2 co 0.2 o 2 (NMC-622) Contains ≥200 grams of Co per kWh. However, the use of cobalt faces its own set of challenges. First of all, Co is scarce and is only found in a few places on the earth. If the current positive electrode formula remains unchanged and the production of electric vehicles is only expected to increase by at least ten times, the demand for Co may be in short supply in ...
