Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries and relates to an aluminum-magnesium co-doped cobalt carbonate precursor and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries whose main component of positive electrode materials is lithium cobalt oxide are called lithium cobalt oxide batteries. They are mainly used in the 3C field due to their high energy density, good cycle and rate performance. As 3C digital products have increasing requirements for lithium-ion battery life and volume, there is an urgent need to increase the volume energy density of lithium cobalt oxide batteries by increasing the cut-off voltage.

[0003] As an important precursor for preparing lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode materials, cobalt oxide has various physical and chemical indicators that affect the performance of lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode materials and lithium cobalt oxide batteries. In the process of preparing cobalt oxide, cobalt carbonate is first prepared by liquid phase precipitation reaction, and then centrifugal washing, drying and calcination processes are carried out to obtain cobalt oxide. This process has the advantages of process controllability and easy synthesis, and is widely used in large-scale production.

[0004] In order to improve the cycle stability and volume energy density of lithium cobalt oxide batteries, it is usually necessary to dope or coat cobalt tetroxide in production to increase the cut-off voltage and improve the volume energy density of lithium cobalt oxide batteries.

[0005] As an example of coating treatment, aluminum and magnesium elements may be coated on the surface of cobalt tetroxide to improve the surface stability of the material. The conventional method is to coprecipitate and coat on cobalt carbonate, and then sinter to form cobalt tetroxide coated with aluminum oxide and magnesium oxide. CN112366302A discloses a method for preparing a coated cobalt tetroxide precursor, the preparation method comprising the following steps: (1) wet precipitation of cobalt tetroxide: cobalt salt solution, precipitant solution, and complexing agent solution are added to a reactor in parallel, the pH value and reaction temperature of the reaction system are controlled, and when the particle size of the obtained cobalt tetroxide particles reaches the set value, the reaction is stopped, and centrifugal washing and drying are performed; (2) the cobalt tetroxide obtained in step (1) is evenly dispersed in a metal salt solution and stirred, the metal salt solution is Al-containing. 3+ Or Mg 2+ (3) stopping the reaction, centrifugally washing, drying, and calcining to obtain coated cobalt tetroxide.

[0006] However, the precipitation rate of wet precipitation coating magnesium is difficult to control, and uneven doping is prone to occur. If dry coating is used, the cobalt oxide and the solid coating are mixed and sintered, which will also cause uneven coating.

[0007] As an example of doping treatment, aluminum can be added to cobalt tetroxide to stabilize the structure, improve cycle stability and thermal stability, and avoid irreversible phase changes in the structure during the charge and discharge process, which leads to collapse of the crystal structure. Magnesium can also be added to cobalt tetroxide to improve the disorder of cations and improve the high-voltage cycle performance of the material. Aluminum-magnesium synergistic doping can effectively improve the cycle performance of lithium cobalt oxide batteries at high voltages and effectively improve the volume energy density of lithium cobalt oxide batteries. CN118108265A discloses a method for preparing small-particle cobalt oxide for high-voltage lithium cobaltate, which includes the steps of preparing doped cobalt carbonate particles by liquid phase precipitation method using cobalt salt, ammonium bicarbonate and doping agent as raw materials, and the step of calcining doped cobalt carbonate particles to generate cobalt oxide, and its characteristics are: the steps of preparing doped cobalt carbonate particles by liquid phase precipitation method include the nucleation stage of aluminum-magnesium co-doping, the crystal nucleus growth stage of aluminum-magnesium co-doping and the shelling stage of nickel-manganese co-doping in sequence, wherein the aluminum / cobalt mass ratio in the nucleation stage is greater than the aluminum / cobalt mass ratio in the crystal nucleus growth stage, and the magnesium / cobalt mass ratio in the nucleation stage is less than the magnesium / cobalt mass ratio in the crystal nucleus growth stage. CN113716619A uses cobalt salt as raw material, carbonate as precipitant, soluble aluminum, magnesium, nickel, and manganese salts as doping sources, and controls the stable growth of cobalt carbonate particle size by accurately setting the rotation speed, flow rate and pH value of different feeding stages, avoiding the generation of small particles, and finally obtaining a large-particle spherical doped cobalt carbonate with uniform particle size distribution.

[0008] However, when common doping methods are used in precursor materials, the precipitation rate of magnesium is difficult to control, and segregation and even phase separation are prone to occur.

[0009] Therefore, providing a method to solve the phase separation problem caused by uneven doping and segregation during cobalt carbonate doping is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
