Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, and particularly to a modification method for lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries play a crucial role in the energy storage field due to their excellent voltage platform, high energy density, long service life, low self-discharge rate, and significant green environmental protection characteristics. The capacity of lithium-ion batteries is limited by the cathode material, which prompts people to seek cathode materials with higher energy density. Lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials (xLiMnO·(1-x)LiMO (M = transition metals such as Ni, Co, Mn, 0 < x < 1, LLO)) stand out under this demand for improving battery performance.

[0003] LLO is considered one of the hot materials for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles because of its high capacity (>200 mAh / g) and low cost. However, LLO materials also have characteristics such as poor cycle stability and poor rate performance, which hinder the wide application of LLO cathode materials and the process of China's transition to clean energy.

[0004] In previous studies, it was found that actively introducing oxygen vacancies is beneficial to stabilizing lattice oxygen, inhibiting the migration of transition metal ions, and improving cycle stability; the introduction of lithium vacancies can reduce the migration barrier of lithium ions, accelerate the migration speed of lithium ions, and improve rate performance. However, the methods for introducing lithium vacancies and oxygen vacancies before were cumbersome and complex in operation, increasing the cost. For example, using the high-temperature synthesis method, the material is calcined at high temperature in an inert atmosphere, and the calcination temperature and time need to be precisely controlled; using the reduction method, reducing gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide are used to reduce the lithium-rich manganese-based material to introduce oxygen vacancies and lithium vacancies. The reduction method needs to be carried out at a certain temperature and pressure, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the safety of the reducing gas; the doping method, by doping other elements such as transition metal elements and rare earth elements in the lithium-rich manganese-based material, can change the electronic structure and crystal structure of the material, thereby introducing oxygen vacancies. The doping method needs to select appropriate doping elements and doping amounts to achieve the best effect; the surface treatment method, by treating the surface of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, such as acid treatment, alkali treatment, plasma treatment, etc., can generate oxygen vacancies on its surface. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Weigh 2.29 mmol of cobalt acetate, 2.29 mmol of nickel acetate tetrahydrate, 9.5 mmol of manganese acetate tetrahydrate and 22.2 mmol of lithium acetate and dissolve them in 50 mL of deionized water respectively, denoted as solution A (transition metal salt solution) and solution B (aqueous lithium acetate solution); weigh 16.9 mmol of citric acid powder and dissolve it in 100 mL of deionized water, denoted as solution C. Heat solution A and solution B to 80 °C and drip them into solution C at 80 °C at a rate of 2 mL min⁻¹ through a peristaltic pump, while stirring with a magnetic stirrer at a speed of 500 rpm. After stirring for 4 h, dry it in a vacuum oven at 120 °C for 12 h, then grind it evenly in an agate mortar, put it into a muffle furnace, and calcine it using the "two-stage uniform temperature control - heat preservation method".

Under an air atmosphere, cool it to room temperature to obtain the product Li 1.2 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 Mn 0.54 O 2 .

[0039] Then heat 1 g of the obtained Li 1.2 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 Mn 0.54 O 2 to 850 °C and keep it at this temperature for 30 min. After taking it out, put it into 100 mL of continuously stirred deionized water and stir for 5 min. The stirring speed is 10,000 rpm. Then filter and dry it to obtain the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material.

[0040] Comparative Example 1

[0041] The difference from Example 1 is that the lithium-rich manganese-based material in Comparative Example 1 is not subjected to rapid cooling treatment, that is, after two-stage calcination, it is not reheated to 850 °C again, but directly put into 100 mL of continuously stirred deionized water and stirred for 5 min, and then filtered and dried to obtain the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material.

[0042] Figure 1 XRD patterns of the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Figure 1 It can be seen that both materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are a mixed phase of R-3m and C2 / m. Therefore, the above results show that the rapid cooling treatment does not change the phase state of the material.

[0043] The lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to SEM testing, asFigures 2 - 3 As shown, both materials are irregular polyhedra with a particle size of 0.05 - 2 μm. The results show that the surface morphology of the materials has not changed after the modification treatment.

[0044] Electrochemical tests:

[0045] Weigh the cathode materials, conductive carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride described in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 according to a mass ratio of 8:1:1, mix them, use N-methylpyrrolidone as the solvent, stir for 10 h to obtain uniform slurries respectively, uniformly coat them on the carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector, and dry at 80 °C for 10 h; punch the dried electrode sheets, select flat and smooth electrode sheets for weighing and calculate the mass of the active material; use a lithium sheet as the anode, and assemble button cells in a glove box with an argon atmosphere (requiring the water and oxygen content to be below 0.01 ppm). The electrolyte used is: 1.2 M lithium hexafluorophosphate dissolved in ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (EMC) with a volume ratio of 3:7, and containing 2% wt of vinylene carbonate (VC) as an additive. Use a BlueTEC test system to conduct the first charge-discharge test on the button cells obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and the voltage window is 2.0 - 4.8 V.

[0046] Figure 4 When the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material prepared in Example 1 is used as an electrode of a lithium-ion battery, at a current density of 20 mA g -1 The first charge-discharge data at the current density. According to Figure 4 It can be seen that for the lithium-ion battery assembled with the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material prepared in Example 1, at a current density of 20 mA g -1 The first cycle can provide a reversible capacity of 252.33 mAh g -1

[0047] Figure 5 When the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material prepared in Comparative Example 1 is used as an electrode of a lithium-ion battery, at a current density of 20 mA g -1 The first charge-discharge data at the current density. According to Figure 5 It can be seen that for the lithium-ion battery assembled with the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material prepared in Comparative Example 1, at a current density of 20 mA g -1 The first cycle can provide a reversible capacity of 240.14 mAh g -1

[0048] Figure 6 When the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are used as electrodes of a lithium-ion battery, at a current density of 200 mA g -1 The cycle data at the current density.

[0049] The better electrochemical performance of Example 1 compared to Comparative Example 1 is attributed to the introduction of vacancies, which stabilizes the lattice oxygen, accelerates the lithium-ion transport, and thus improves the electrochemical performance of the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material. An amorphous layer is formed on the material surface, and a locally disordered structure is formed inside the material, which can slow down the lattice distortion, release the stress generated by the lattice strain, and improve the stability of the material;

Accordingly, after obtaining the product Li 1.2 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 Mn 0.54 O 2 After that, 1 g of the obtained Li 1.2 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 Mn 0.54 O 2 The product is heated to 850 °C and held for 30 min, then taken out and cooled in air. After cooling to room temperature, it is put into 100 mL of continuously stirred deionized water for washing, and the stirring speed is 10,000 rpm. The remaining steps all refer to Example 1.

[0059] Comparative Example 2

[0060] Different from Example 4, the lithium-rich manganese-based material in Comparative Example 2 was not subjected to the combined treatment of high shear stress + heat treatment. That is, after two-stage calcination, it was not reheated to 900 °C, but directly put into 100 mL of continuously stirred deionized water and stirred for 5 min.
