Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology and relates to a carbon-coated cathode material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The cathode material significantly influences the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Currently, common cathode active materials suffer from low conductivity. Methods to improve the conductivity of cathode materials include preparing nano-electrode active materials, refining the grain size of electrode active materials, and surface carbon coating. However, current carbon coatings on cathode materials exhibit poor affinity, low bonding strength, poor uniformity, and low conductivity. Furthermore, they cannot prevent electrolyte erosion of cathode materials such as lithium iron phosphate. Moreover, most carbon coating methods involve high-temperature carbonization, which easily damages the crystal structure of the cathode material.

[0003] For example, CN 101494288A discloses a method for preparing lithium iron phosphate, a cathode material for lithium-ion secondary batteries, including the following steps: A. Mixing a lithium source compound, a divalent iron source compound, a phosphorus source compound, and an organic small molecule carbon source additive, ball milling, and sintering to obtain a sintering precursor; B. Mixing the sintering precursor from step A with the organic polymer carbon source additive, ball milling, sintering, and pulverizing to obtain finished lithium iron phosphate powder. The disclosed method first synthesizes an iron coordination polymer by reacting an aromatic polycarboxylic acid compound with an iron source compound under hydrothermal / solvothermal conditions; then, this polymer is mixed with a lithium source compound, a simple organic compound, and a dopant compound and sintered to obtain the lithium iron phosphate cathode material. The method improves the conductivity and electrochemical performance of the synthesized lithium iron phosphate carbon-coated material by generating SP2 hybrid carbon coating on the surface of the lithium iron phosphate through high-temperature decomposition of organic matter. However, the uniformity and bonding strength of the carbon material coated on the surface by this method are poor, which will damage the crystal structure of the cathode material and has limited improvement on the electrochemical performance of the lithium iron phosphate cathode material.

[0004] Based on the above research, there is a need to provide a method for preparing carbon-coated cathode materials. This method can avoid the destruction of the crystal structure of the cathode material by high-temperature carbonization, avoid the direct contact between the cathode material and the electrolyte to prevent side reactions, and the carbon coating layer has high bonding strength and uniformity. Therefore, the obtained cathode material has good conductivity and cycle life. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a carbon-coated cathode material, its preparation method, and its application, particularly a halogen-nitrogen dual-doped carbon-coated cathode material, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method is carried out by electrochemical deposition, which can improve the bonding strength and uniformity of the carbon film on the surface of the cathode material, avoid the destruction of the crystal structure of the cathode material by high-temperature carbonization, effectively improve the conductivity of the material, avoid the side reaction caused by direct contact between the material and the electrolyte, and thus significantly improve the cycle life of the cathode material.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a carbon-coated cathode material, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) Mix the halocholine compound, phosphate and solvent to obtain a carbon source solution;

[0009] (2) The positive electrode active material and the anode are placed in the carbon source solution described in step (1) and electrodeposited to obtain the carbon-coated positive electrode material.

[0010] In the carbon source solution of this invention, a p-halocholine compound is used simultaneously as the carbon source, halogen source, and nitrogen source to obtain a halogen-nitrogen dual-doped carbon-coated cathode material. The doped elements affect the grain size and internal transport characteristics of the cathode active material, suppress lattice distortion, and improve the ionic and electronic conductivity of the cathode material. Simultaneously, this invention employs electrodeposition for carbon coating. To ensure carbon deposition and improve the bonding strength and uniformity of the carbon coating layer, phosphate is added to the carbon source solution to lower the voltage and promote carbon deposition, thereby introducing carbon material onto the surface of the cathode active material. The introduction of carbon material enhances the conductivity between particles, reduces battery polarization, and inhibits grain growth, thus refining the grains and shortening the Li-Ni ratio. + The diffusion path within the particles means that the specific method of this invention not only avoids the damage to the positive electrode active material caused by conventional high-temperature carbonization of carbon coating and effectively improves the conductivity of the material, but also improves the bonding strength and uniformity of the carbon coating layer.

[0011] Preferably, when mixing the halogenated choline compound, phosphate and solvent in step (1), a supercritical CO2 fluid is also added.

[0012] In this invention, supercritical carbon dioxide fluid is added to the carbon source solution. The introduction of supercritical CO2 fluid enables the resulting coated carbon layer to have good uniformity, flatness and excellent adhesion strength, and it can also serve as a carbon source. Therefore, compared with carbon source without the addition of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid, the coated carbon layer obtained by this invention is more complete and uniform, the bonding strength between the positive electrode active material and the carbon coating layer is higher, and the performance of the obtained positive electrode material is better.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of the halogenated choline compound, phosphate, solvent, and supercritical CO2 fluid is (0.5-2):(2-10):(15-25):(25-35), for example, it can be 1:5:20:30, 0.5:2:15:35, or 2:10:15:25, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0014] Preferably, the halogenated choline compound in step (1) includes any one or a combination of at least two of fluorocholine compounds, chlorocholine compounds, bromocholine compounds or iodocholine compounds. Typical but non-limiting combinations include combinations of fluorocholine compounds and chlorocholine compounds, combinations of bromocholine compounds and iodocholine compounds, and preferably fluorocholine compounds.

[0015] The preferred halogenated choline compound of this invention is a fluorocholine compound. Since fluorocholine compounds contain fluorine and nitrogen elements, these substituent elements can affect the grain size and internal transport characteristics of the material, and can suppress lattice distortion, reduce triboelectric resistance, and improve the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of lithium iron phosphate. Therefore, the carbon-coated cathode material obtained has better performance.

[0016] Preferably, the fluorocholine compounds of the present invention include any one or a combination of at least two of fluorophosphocholine, fluoromethylcholine, fluoroethylcholine or 2-fluorocholine, and typical but non-limiting combinations include a combination of fluorophosphocholine and fluoromethylcholine, or a combination of fluoroethylcholine and 2-fluorocholine.

If the voltage of electrochemical deposition is too low, the deposited carbon coating layer will be uneven and the side reactions between the cathode material and the electrolyte cannot be effectively avoided. If the deposition voltage is too high, it will damage the structure of the cathode active material itself.

[0021] Preferably, the electrodeposition time in step (2) is 2-5 hours, for example, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 4.5 hours or 5 hours, but not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0023] The electrochemical deposition described in this invention is carried out under specific pressure, which can ensure the state of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid and enable it to function. If the pressure is too low, the state of supercritical fluid cannot be guaranteed, and if the pressure is too high, it will affect the structural stability of the cathode material.

[0030] Preferably, the microwave reaction in step (ii) is carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the flow rate of the nitrogen is 30-50 L / min, for example, it can be 30 L / min, 35 L / min, 40 L / min, 45 L / min or 50 L / min, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0031] Preferably, when mixing lithium salt, iron salt and phosphate in step (i), a dopant is also added.

[0032] Preferably, the dopant comprises a magnesium salt, which includes, but is not limited to, magnesium carbonate.

[0033] Preferably, the molar ratio of lithium ions in the lithium salt and iron ions in the iron salt in step (i) is (1.05-1.15):1, for example, it can be 1.05:1, 1.07:1, 1.09:1, 1.11:1, 1.13:1 or 1.15:1, but is not limited to the listed values.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the preparation method of the present invention, the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0035] (1) A carbon source solution is obtained by mixing a halocholine compound, a phosphate, a solvent and a supercritical CO2 fluid in a mass ratio of (0.5-2):(2-10):(15-25):(25-35);

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0043] This invention employs a specific carbon source solution for electrochemical deposition to obtain a halogen-nitrogen dual-doped carbon-coated cathode material. The doped elements affect the grain size and internal transport characteristics of the cathode active material, suppress lattice distortion, and improve the ionic and electronic conductivity of the cathode material. Simultaneously, to ensure uniform carbon deposition and enhance the bonding strength and uniformity of the carbon coating layer, this invention adds phosphate and supercritical carbon dioxide fluid to the carbon source solution. This introduces carbon material onto the surface of the cathode active material, enhancing interparticle conductivity, reducing battery polarization, and suppressing grain growth, thus refining the grains and shortening the Li-Ni content. + The diffusion path within the particles allows the carbon-coated cathode material prepared by the specific method of this invention to possess excellent electrochemical performance.

As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, although Comparative Example 2 also uses fluorinated choline compounds as the coating source, it is prepared by traditional sintering method, which will damage the crystal structure of the cathode material, and the bonding strength and uniformity of the carbon coating layer are low, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the obtained material compared with Example 1. As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, if the phosphate that is paired with supercritical carbon dioxide fluid and halogenated choline compounds is replaced with halogenated carboxylic acids, the effect of electrodeposition coating decreases, the bonding strength and uniformity of the coating layer decrease, and the performance of the obtained battery decreases.
