Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries and relates to a composite positive electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, lithium-ion batteries are increasingly pursuing high energy density and long-term cycle stability. However, lithium-ion batteries assembled with liquid electrolytes are prone to thermal runaway, which can lead to safety issues such as fire and even explosion. Safety has become a key obstacle to the development of lithium-ion batteries. Under conditions such as overcharging, overheating, extrusion, impact, or short circuit, the solid electrolyte passivation film on the negative electrode side is unstable and easily decomposes under thermal conditions. This causes the liquid electrolyte to come into direct contact with the negative electrode material, resulting in an exothermic reaction and increasing the internal temperature of the lithium-ion battery. The continued rise in temperature causes the positive electrode material to decompose and release heat, releasing oxygen and other combustion-supporting gases, which further react with the electrolyte in an exothermic reaction. This rapid generation of heat causes the lithium-ion battery to generate heat faster than it dissipates, leading to thermal runaway and ultimately fire and explosion.

[0003] CN114335420A discloses a lithium-replenishing safety coating, a positive electrode plate and a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-replenishing safety coating comprises a pore-forming agent, a binder, an inorganic filler and a conductive agent; the pore-forming agent comprises a self-sacrificial lithium salt.

[0004] CN106410268A discloses a multi-coating intelligent high-safety polymer lithium-ion secondary battery, including a negative electrode sheet, a positive electrode sheet, a polyvinylidene fluoride coated diaphragm paper, a colloidal electrolyte and a shell. The positive electrode sheet contains a temperature-controlled intelligent variable impedance coating; the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet are respectively stacked and arranged on both sides of the polyvinylidene fluoride coated diaphragm paper. The stacked negative electrode sheet, polyvinylidene fluoride coated diaphragm paper, and positive electrode sheet are wound to form a battery core. After the battery core is injected with electrolyte, it is thermally polymerized to form a colloidal electrolyte. The negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet in the battery core are adhered to both sides of the polyvinylidene fluoride coated diaphragm paper to form a non-liquid polymer battery core. The battery core and the colloidal electrolyte are located in the shell.

[0005] In order to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries, the above scheme adds a safety coating on the surface of the positive or negative electrode to absorb excess heat inside the lithium-ion battery. The main components of the safety coating are nano-inorganic particles and organic binders. The interface contact impedance between the safety coating and the electrode is usually large, which causes a large loss in the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery. At the same time, due to the rapid increase in the internal temperature of the lithium-ion battery, the side reactions involving the organic binder increase, and the safety coating structure is prone to collapse and loses its protective function. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a composite positive electrode material, a preparation method and an application thereof. In the composite positive electrode material of the present invention, a polyphosphate monoester compound and a polyepoxide compound are in situ polymerized on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles to form a coating layer. The coating layer can effectively seal the surface of the positive electrode active material particles when the positive electrode active material is at a high temperature, and effectively alleviate the contact between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte or the negative electrode material, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, and thus provide excellent safety performance for the positive electrode material and its lithium-ion battery.

[0007] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a composite positive electrode material, comprising a positive electrode material core and a composite coating layer arranged on the surface of the positive electrode material core, wherein the composite coating layer is obtained by a chemical addition reaction of a polybasic phosphate monoester compound and a polybasic epoxide compound on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, wherein the polybasic phosphate monoester compound includes a compound containing two or more polybasic phosphate monoester structures, and the polybasic epoxide compound includes a compound containing two or more three-membered cyclic ether structures.

[0009] In the composite material described in the present invention, the reaction of the polyphosphate monoester compound and the polyepoxy compound on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles is a multi-stage reaction. The first-stage reaction is the modification treatment of the polyphosphate monoester compound and the polyepoxy compound on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, fixing the safety component on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles. When the positive electrode active material is at a high temperature, the polyphosphate monoester compound and the polyepoxy compound can quickly undergo a secondary curing reaction and seal the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, preventing the positive electrode active material from contacting the electrolyte or the negative electrode material, and reducing the occurrence of side reactions. When the temperature to which the positive electrode active material is subjected is further increased, the reaction product of the polyphosphate monoester compound and the polyepoxy compound will undergo dehydration and carbonization, forming a coke layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, making it difficult for heat to be transferred to each other, and the coke layer can prevent the oxygen released by the decomposition of the positive electrode active material from entering the adjacent combustion area, thereby alleviating the thermal runaway behavior of the lithium-ion battery.

[0033] After the safety components polyphosphate monoester compound and polyepoxide compound used in the present invention complete the primary reaction on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, there will be evenly distributed polar groups on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles. These groups provide electrostatic repulsion between the positive electrode active material particles, which is beneficial to alleviate the secondary agglomeration of the active material particles during the positive electrode production process. At the same time, it is beneficial to the contact between the active material and the conductive agent and binder, which can play a positive effect on reducing the electrode impedance.

[0086] Performance testing:

[0087] A positive electrode slurry was prepared by using 97 parts of the positive electrode materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples, 1.5 parts of SP, 0.5 parts of CNTs, and 1 part of PVDF in NMP as solvent. The slurry was coated on a 12 μm aluminum foil, and then baked, rolled, and die-cut to obtain a 51 mm × 96 mm positive electrode sheet. The surface density of the positive electrode sheet was 18.0 mg / cm 2 .

[0088] A negative electrode slurry was prepared by using 96 parts of graphite negative electrode material, 1.3 parts of SP, 0.2 parts of CNTs, 0.7 parts of CMC and 1.8 parts of SBR in deionized water as solvent. The slurry was coated on an 8 μm copper foil and then baked, rolled and die-cut to obtain a 55 mm × 100 mm negative electrode sheet with an area density of 10.8 mg / cm 2 .

[0089] The diaphragm is a commercial diaphragm, and the electrolyte is a commercial electrolyte.

[0090] The positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet and separator are assembled into a soft-pack lithium-ion battery, and then the electrolyte is injected, and high-temperature standing and formation treatment are performed.

[0091] The lithium-ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to initial charge and discharge efficiency, 0.33C discharge gram capacity, and 1C rate charge and 1C rate discharge cycle performance tests at 25°C. At the same time, the ohmic impedance and charge transfer impedance of the lithium-ion batteries were tested using an electrochemical workstation. The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0092] Table 1

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] As can be seen from Table 1, it can be obtained from Examples 1-8 that the positive electrode active material prepared by the present invention using a polyphosphate monoester compound and a polyepoxide compound has a higher first charge and discharge efficiency and discharge gram capacity. By comparing the ohmic impedance and charge transfer impedance of the lithium-ion battery, it is found that the ohmic impedance and the charge transfer impedance are reduced, especially the charge transfer impedance, which is reduced by 21.41%. This shows that the modification of the positive electrode active material by the reaction of the polyphosphate monoester compound and the polyepoxide compound helps to disperse the positive electrode active particles in the positive electrode sheet. This is mainly because the polyphosphate monoester compound and the polyepoxide compound give a large number of hydroxyl groups to the surface of the positive electrode active material particles after the primary reaction. These active groups are conducive to the ion and electron transport and charge exchange on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles.

[0096] Figure 4 The figure is a comparison of the cycle performance of the positive electrode materials described in Examples 1, 7 and 8 and Comparative Examples 1-3. The test results of the cycle performance also show that Examples 1-8 are better than Comparative Examples 1-3. In addition, it can be found that the total amount of the monoester phosphate compound and the polyepoxy compound in Examples 1, 7 and 8 is 5%, 10% and 20% of the positive electrode active material, respectively, among which the amount of 20% shows a clear disadvantage. This shows that although the polyester phosphate compound and the polyepoxy compound are beneficial to improving the performance of the positive electrode material and its lithium-ion battery, the more they are introduced into the positive electrode as inactive components, the better.

[0097] Figure 5The following are the DSC results of the positive electrode active materials obtained by disassembling the lithium ion batteries prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 at 100% SOC. The exothermic enthalpy values ​​of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are 767.95 J / g, 1710.28 J / g, 1272.04 J / g, and 1712.70 J / g, respectively. By comparing the exothermic enthalpy values, it can be seen that the positive electrode active material prepared using the polyvalent phosphate monoester compound and the polyvalent epoxy compound can effectively reduce the heat release of the positive electrode active material in the delithiation state, which indicates that the safety component can effectively seal the particle surface of the positive electrode active material when it is at a high temperature, and effectively alleviate the contact between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte or the negative electrode material, reducing the occurrence of side reactions, thereby providing excellent safety performance for the positive electrode material and its lithium ion battery.
