Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a waste battery repair technology, and in particular to a method for regenerating a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material with the assistance of negative electrode lithium and waste diaphragms. Background Art

[0002] Since its birth, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in energy storage, mobile communications and other fields. In recent years, the rapid development of the new energy industry has promoted the further expansion of the lithium-ion battery market. Among the various commercial lithium-ion batteries (LCO, NMC, LFP, etc.), lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP) have gradually occupied more and more market share due to their advantages such as high operating voltage, high energy density, long cycle life, good safety performance, low self-discharge rate, and no memory effect. It should be noted that the service life of lithium-ion batteries is generally 3 to 8 years. It can be foreseen that the peak period of retirement of waste lithium-ion batteries will occur in the next few years. In the future, there will also be a huge amount of waste lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, it is crucial to properly handle waste lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] The positive electrode of waste lithium-ion batteries contains a variety of valuable metals and components, and has a very high recycling value. At present, the most commonly used recycling methods include pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and direct regeneration. Among them, direct regeneration is widely used because of its advantages such as short process, environmental friendliness, simple operation and high economic benefits. For the positive electrode of waste lithium iron phosphate batteries, the capacity decrease of LFP positive electrode materials is caused by lithium ion loss, active mass loss and collector corrosion. The main reasons are the loss of Li and Fe occupying Li sites to form FeLi anti-site defects. Therefore, in the existing direct regeneration process, it is necessary to add additional lithium sources and reducing agents, and then regenerate by hydrothermal method or high-temperature sintering method. In addition, in order to further improve the electrochemical properties of the positive electrode material, additional carbon sources are often added.

[0004] During the use of waste lithium-ion batteries, lithium ions will continuously escape and embed between the positive and negative electrodes, which results in a certain amount of active lithium in the negative electrode after the battery capacity decreases. Compared with the precious metal components contained in the positive electrode, the recycling of the negative electrode is relatively meaningless. Therefore, in previous studies, there has been relatively little research on the negative electrode, which has led to the waste of active lithium resources in the negative electrode. In recent years, with the rapid expansion of the lithium-ion battery market, the reuse of lithium resources has received more and more attention. Therefore, if the lithium resources in the negative electrode can be reused, it will alleviate the shortage of lithium resources to a certain extent.

[0005] In waste batteries, in addition to the positive and negative electrodes, the diaphragm is also an important component. The diaphragm in the battery is generally composed of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) film. However, compared with the high-value positive electrode materials, the diaphragm is rarely studied due to its low recycling value. However, as the amount of waste diaphragms increases, the reasonable recycling and treatment of waste diaphragms can not only avoid environmental pollution, but also greatly increase the economic value of waste battery recycling. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for regenerating lithium iron phosphate positive electrode materials with the assistance of negative electrode lithium and waste diaphragms, using the active lithium contained in the negative electrode as a lithium source and the waste diaphragm as a reducing agent and a carbon source, and achieving the repair and regeneration of the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode without adding any external reagents.

[0007] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A method for regenerating a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material with the assistance of negative electrode lithium and waste diaphragm comprises the following steps:

[0009] 1) Pre-treating the waste lithium iron phosphate batteries to obtain waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheets, waste diaphragms and negative electrode sheets;

[0010] 2) placing the negative electrode sheet in deionized water and separating the negative electrode material and the copper foil by ultrasound;

[0011] 3) placing the negative electrode material in deionized water and stirring to obtain a lithium-rich solution and a negative electrode graphite material;

[0012] 4) adding sodium carbonate to the lithium-containing solution obtained in step 3) and stirring at high temperature until the solution evaporates and an off-white solid appears; filtering out the white solid, rinsing it and drying it to obtain Li2CO3;

[0013] 5) calcining the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet at high temperature in a tube furnace to remove the binder, and then grinding to obtain the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder, and determining the content of lithium, iron and phosphorus in the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder;

[0014] 6) cutting the waste diaphragm obtained in step 1) into small pieces;

[0015] 7) uniformly mixing the waste positive electrode powder obtained in step 5) and the waste diaphragm flakes obtained in step 6);

[0016] 8) The mixed material obtained in step 7) and the Li2CO3 solid obtained in step 4) are mixed evenly, and the amount of Li2CO3 solid added is determined according to the lithium-iron element ratio determined in step 5). After mixing, the mixture is placed in a tubular furnace, a protective gas is introduced, and the temperature is raised to 500°C at 5°C / min and maintained for 1 hour, and then the temperature is raised to 600-800°C at 5°C / min and maintained for 4-8 hours. After cooling, the regenerated lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is obtained.

[0017] Preferably, in step 1), the waste lithium iron phosphate battery is immersed in a 5wt% NaCl solution and allowed to stand for 24 hours to release residual electricity; then placed in a forced air drying oven for 24 hours and manually disassembled to collect the positive electrode sheet, the separator, and the negative electrode sheet, and placed in a DMC solution to remove surface electrolyte.

[0018] Preferably, in step 2), the ultrasonic power is 100 W and the ultrasonic time is 0.5 to 1 h.
