Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of cobaltate cathode materials, in particular to a halide solid electrolyte coated modified cathode material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the progress of society and the development of economy, electronic products have gradually become indispensable consumer goods in everyone's hands. However, with the further integration and high energy consumption of consumer electronics, the requirements for batteries, especially cobalt lithium batteries, are becoming higher and higher. The actual available specific capacity of cobalt lithium cathode material is much lower than its theoretical specific capacity. Therefore, improving the actual available specific capacity of cobalt lithium material is of great significance to promote the development and further research of consumer electronics.
[0003] Nowadays, the reasons for the accelerated degradation of high-voltage cobalt lithium materials can be roughly divided into two categories: one is that more lithium extraction-embedding amount causes more serious crystal structure changes of cobalt lithium; the other is that high application cutoff voltage can aggravate the interface side reaction between the electrode material and the electrolyte. Therefore, improving the structural stability of high-voltage cobalt lithium and reducing the interface side reaction are technical problems that need to be focused on for cobalt lithium batteries. SUMMARY

[0104] Table 1
[0105]
[0106] By comparing the SEM images of samples from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the surface coating of lithium cobalt oxide modified with halide solid electrolyte coating is more dense and uniform, and less prone to peeling off. In contrast, the coating on the surface of the materials in the comparative examples is more porous and easily peels off, which is detrimental to the improvement of the performance of lithium cobalt oxide materials.
[0107] Examples 1-4, Comparative Examples 1-3, and Table 1 show that after coating the lithium cobalt oxide cathode material with a halide solid electrolyte and a second coating material, the formation of the coating layer effectively blocks the direct contact between lithium cobalt oxide and the electrolyte in the high delithiation state, reduces the occurrence of side reactions, and improves the surface structure stability of the lithium cobalt oxide material. Moreover, compared with coating with sulfide and oxide solid electrolytes, the interaction between the halide solid electrolyte and lithium ions is weaker, and it has a faster lithium ion conduction capacity, which improves the electron and ion conduction on the surface of the lithium cobalt oxide cathode material, increases the specific capacity of the lithium cobalt oxide battery, and can effectively slow down the harmful phase transition during high-voltage charging and discharging, slow down cobalt dissolution, and improve the cycle stability of lithium cobalt oxide under high voltage.
