Problems solved by technology

However, there are obvious shortcomings in the synthesis of this material by high-temperature solid-state reaction method: (1) the degree of mixing is limited, cobalt clusters are easy to form, and the ion arrangement is disordered; (2) higher heat treatment temperature and longer heat treatment time are required , and a large amount of lithium salt volatilizes, which consumes a lot of energy; (3) the product material has a large grain size, a wide range of particle size distribution, and poor chemical uniformity
But because the solubility in the inorganic salt organic solvent is less, need consume more organic solvent, cause the time of evaporation and drying of solvent longer, also cause the increase of cost to a certain extent, also have the nitrate that adopts serious environmental pollution, Not suitable for industrial production

Embodiment 1

[0030] First weigh 0.115mol of LiOH·H 2 O was dissolved in 30ml of distilled water to form a solution, and another 0.08mol of nickel acetate and 0.02mol of cobalt acetate were dissolved in 150ml of distilled water to form a transparent deep purple solution; the two aqueous solutions were mixed and stirred to form a deep purple suspension. Then gradually add 0.1mol citric acid solution dissolved in 90ml ethanol to it, stir continuously until a clear and uniform solution is formed, heat to 80°C and stir to evaporate the solvent, concentrate for about 3 hours to form a gel, and then dry it in an oven to obtain the precursor body dry gel. Put the dry gel in a muffle furnace at 400°C for 8 hours to decompose the organic matter, take it out and grind it into a powder (brown); the powder is then sintered in a tube furnace at a rate of 3°C / min to 800°C 2 Hours later, lower the temperature to 700°C and roast for 12 hours. During the sintering process, the oxygen flow is 15ml / min. Fina...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the liquid phase synthesis process of Ni-rich positive pole material LiNi1-yCoyO2, where y is 0.2-0.3, for lithium ion cell, and is especially one sol-gel process. With cheap citric acid as chelating agent, solution of ethanol solvent and the water solution of Li salt, Ni salt and Co salt are mixed and concentrated through heating and stirring to form gel; the gel is dried, thermally decomposed, sintered at high temperature, cooled and ground to obtain the submicron level lithium nickelate-cobalate powder. Compared with available technology, the present invention has the advantages of less organic solvent consumption, short synthesis period, simple apparatus, environment friendship, and homogeneous product with excellent electric performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nickel-rich cathode material LiNi for a lithium ion battery 1-y co y o 2 (0.2≤y≤0.3) liquid-phase synthesis method, specifically the sol-gel method. Background technique [0002] Lithium nickel cobalt oxide has a similar 2 and LiNiO 2 The layered structure, whose space group is R-3m, has the advantages of both: good thermodynamic stability, good cycle performance, high capacity, cheap price, less pollution, relatively easy preparation, etc., is the most Promising alternative to commercialized LiCoO 2 One of the cathode materials. Its research is also becoming more and more mature, and it is gradually realizing commercialization. But relatively nickel-rich LiNi 1-y co y o 2 (0.2≤y≤0.3) and LiNiO 2 It is difficult to synthesize and prepare similarly. At present, a lot of research is focused on its preparation process, especially for LiNi, which has better performance and price. 0.8 co 0.2...
