Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery, in particular to a kind of nano solid electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate and preparation method and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] In solid electrolyte, lithium aluminum titanium phosphate Li 1+x Al x Ti 2-x (PO4)3(x=0.3-0.5) (hereinafter referred to as "LATP") has high room temperature ionic conductivity, close to the level of commercial electrolyte and is particularly concerned. The current common method for synthesizing lithium aluminum titanium phosphate mainly includes solid phase sintering method, liquid phase precipitation method, sol-gel method, etc. In these preparation methods, the solid phase sintering method and the precipitation method are simple in process and are more suitable for mass production in industry. In the process of preparing LATP powder by the existing solid phase sintering method, the energy is generally high, the reaction time is long, impurity phases are easily produced, and the particle size of the powder is generally large (> 10 μm); in order to obtain nano-sized LATP powder material, sol-gel method is generally used in the reported data to prepare, which generally needs to use some organic solvents such as ethanol and ethylene glycol, which greatly limits the demand for equipment in the process of process amplification. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a kind of nano solid electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate and preparation method and application, to solve the problem of large particle size of LATP solid electrolyte prepared by the existing preparation, and the synthesis temperature is too high in the preparation process, which easily leads to the loss of lithium, the problem of excessive energy consumption and complex process.

[0004] The present application provides a kind of preparation method of nano solid electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step S1: according to the stoichiometric ratio of lithium aluminum titanium phosphate, the raw materials are configured, the precipitate is prepared by using the raw materials, and the precipitate is washed; wherein the atomic ratio of the raw materials meets: Li: Al: Ti: P = (1+x): x: (2-x): 3, 0≤x≤0.5; water is used as solvent in the preparation of the precipitate; preferably, 0.3≤x≤0.5; more preferably, x=0.3 or 0.4;

[0006] Step S2: the washed precipitate is configured into a suspension after adding water, and then moved into a sealed pressure container, reacted at a certain temperature for a period of time, and then the reacted material is dried to obtain a precursor powder;

[0007] Step S3: the precursor powder is obtained by heat treatment to obtain the solid electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate.

[0008] In the above scheme, the preparation method of the solid-state electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate adopts a water-based system, which can reduce the equipment requirements and environmental protection requirements in the industrial scale production process. The preparation method of the present application first uses water as a solvent to prepare a precipitate, and the precipitate is washed. Washing the precipitate can remove excess ions in the precipitate that do not participate in the reaction, which can effectively avoid the influence of these ions on the final form of the subsequent product. Under high temperature and high pressure, the particle reactivity between ions is higher, which makes the effective particle collision more and the raw material mixing more uniform. The preparation method of the present application configures the washed precipitate into a suspension after adding water, and then moves it into a sealed pressure container for reaction at a certain temperature for a period of time, which can effectively control the reaction and crystal growth, so that the initial particle size formed is smaller than that of the particles made by ordinary precipitation method, thereby forming a small size precursor powder. The small size precursor powder is finally heat treated to obtain a solid-state electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate with a D50 of less than 200 nm. The application of such a solid-state electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate to a lithium ion battery can effectively improve the overall performance of the lithium ion battery.

[0009] According to the preparation method of the present application, the following steps are included:

[0011] Step S2: the washed precipitate is mixed uniformly with a lithium ion solution, then water is added to configure the suspension, and then the suspension is moved into a sealed pressure container for reaction at 80-130℃ for 2-12h; and then the reacted material is dried to obtain the precursor powder;

[0012] Step S3: the precursor powder is heat treated to obtain the solid-state electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate.

[0013] Specifically, in step S1, the alkaline solution can be selected from ammonium bicarbonate solution, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, etc. The pH value can be 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 or 10, etc., and of course can also be other values within the above range, which are not limited herein. The number of washing times can be 1, 2 or 3. In step S2, the temperature of the reaction moved into the sealed pressure vessel can be 80℃, 85℃, 90℃, 95℃, 100℃, 105℃, 110℃, 115℃, 120℃, 125℃ or 130℃, etc., and of course can also be other values within the above range, which are not limited herein, and the time can be 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h, 9h, 10h, 11h or 12h, etc., and of course can also be other values within the above range, which are not limited herein.

[0014] In the above scheme, in order to reduce the loss of lithium during the preparation of the precipitate, the lithium salt, such as lithium hydroxide, lithium nitrate, lithium acetate, etc., which is soluble in water, is mixed with the precipitate in the form of lithium ion solution and then added to the sealed pressure vessel for hydrothermal reaction.

[0015] According to the preparation method of the present application, the following steps are included:

[0016] Step S1: an aluminum source, a titanium source and a phosphorus source are added to water to configure a mixed salt solution, an alkaline solution is added dropwise to the mixed salt solution until the pH value is 7-10 to form a first precipitate; the first precipitate is put into water, a lithium salt is then added to the water, and then dispersed sufficiently to obtain a second precipitate by suction filtration;

[0017] Step S2: the second precipitate is configured into the suspension by adding water, and then the suspension is moved into a sealed pressure vessel for reaction at 80℃-130℃ for 2h-12h; then the reacted material is dried to obtain the precursor powder;

[0018] Step S3: the precursor powder is obtained by heat treatment to obtain the solid-state electrolyte lithium titanium aluminum phosphate.

[0019] Specifically, in step S1, the alkaline solution can be selected from ammonium bicarbonate solution, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, etc. The pH value can be 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 or 10, etc., and of course other values within the above range are also possible, which are not limited herein. The temperature for the reaction in the sealed pressure vessel can be 80℃, 85℃, 90℃, 95℃, 100℃, 105℃, 110℃, 115℃, 120℃, 125℃ or 130℃, etc., and of course other values within the above range are also possible, which are not limited herein.

[0020] In the above scheme, the lithium salt which is insoluble or slightly soluble in water is designed. In order to reduce the loss of lithium during the preparation of the first precipitate, the lithium salt which is insoluble or slightly soluble in water (such as lithium carbonate) is mixed with the first precipitate in the form of lithium salt after washing, and then added to the sealed pressure vessel for hydrothermal reaction.

[0028] By limiting the filling pressure in the sealed pressure vessel within a reasonable range, the hydrothermal reaction of the precipitate is facilitated, the reaction and the growth of the crystal can be more effectively controlled, so that the obtained precursor powder has smaller size and more uniform particle distribution, and thus a solid-state electrolyte lithium aluminum titanium phosphate with small size and uniform particle distribution is obtained.

[0029] According to the preparation method, in step S3, the temperature of the heat treatment is 800-950℃, and the time is 1-10h.
