Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a lithium iron phosphate material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries are a kind of secondary battery system with two different lithium intercalation compounds that can reversibly deintercalate lithium ions as positive and negative electrodes. With the advantages of high specific capacity, long cycle life, small self-discharge, etc., it is widely used in mobile phones, portable computers, video cameras, cameras, electric vehicles, energy storage and other fields. Lithium iron phosphate is applied to pure electric buses, energy storage and other fields due to its high safety performance, good cycle life, environmental friendliness and other advantages.

[0003] The homogenate process in the existing lithium iron phosphate battery is to disperse the active material powder, the conductive agent and the binder into a slurry in a solvent, then coat it on the aluminum foil current collector to form a positive electrode sheet, and finally assemble it into a lithium ion battery. Since the particle size distribution of the existing lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is from nanoscale to micrometer scale, and the conductive agent is mostly in the form of micron or even nanometer powder, uneven dispersion of lithium iron phosphate, conductive agent and binder is easily caused during the stirring process of high viscosity slurry, which eventually leads to uneven surface density of the prepared electrode sheet and large difference in internal resistance at different sites.

[0004] In addition, during the entire battery manufacturing process, the addition of conductive agent and binder and the stirring and dispersion result in long slurry preparation time, low battery production efficiency, and are not conducive to energy saving and cost reduction of battery manufacturing end. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity, which integrates the conductive agent and the binder into the lithium iron phosphate, so that the prepared lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity not only has high conductivity, but also has adhesion. Another purpose of the present application is to provide a lithium ion secondary battery with uniform and high consistency inside the electrode sheet.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0008] (2) spray drying the precursor slurry, and obtaining the high-conductivity lithium iron phosphate coated with inorganic carbon on the surface by high-temperature heat treatment of the precursor powder obtained after the spray drying under the protection of an inert atmosphere;

[0009] (3) oxidizing the inorganic carbon on the surface of the high-conductivity lithium iron phosphate, and then taking the binder to graft the binder to the inorganic carbon on the surface through a grafting reaction, thereby obtaining the lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity.

[0010] The preparation method of the lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity combines the carbon source and the lithium iron phosphate and combines the binder and the inorganic carbon on the surface of the lithium iron phosphate through a grafting reaction, thereby obtaining the lithium iron phosphate material with high conductivity and adhesion. Since the material itself has high conductivity and adhesion, it is not necessary to add a conductive agent and a binder in the slurry preparation process of the battery preparation, the slurry preparation efficiency is higher, the slurry uniformity is better, and the electrode sheet has smaller resistance difference at different points, which is beneficial to improving the overall performance of the battery.

[0011] Further, the mass of the binder accounts for 0.5-5% of the mass of the lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity.

[0012] Further, the binder includes a combination of one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polystyrene, polytetrafluoroethylene, sodium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylate, and polyacrylic acid block copolymer.

[0013] Further, the mass of the inorganic carbon on the surface accounts for 1-5% of the mass of the lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity.

[0014] Further, the inorganic carbon on the surface includes a combination of one or more of inorganic carbon obtained by high-temperature cracking of an organic carbon source, carbon nanotubes, graphene, conductive carbon black, and VGCF.

[0015] Further, the carbon source includes an organic carbon source and an inorganic carbon source, and the organic carbon source includes at least one of glucose, polyethylene glycol, sucrose, Tween, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or starch. The organic carbon source is reacted at high temperature to tightly combine the inorganic carbon source and the lithium iron phosphate, so that the obtained material has high conductivity.

[0016] Further, the molar ratio of Fe, P, and Li in the mixture is 1:(1.0-1.06):(1.0-1.1).

[0017] Further, the particle size of the particles in the precursor slurry is D50=0.2-0.8 μm and D90<3 μm.

[0018] Further, the temperature of the heat treatment is 500-800℃, the heating rate is 1-5℃ / min, and the treatment time is 5-10h.

[0019] In another aspect, the application also provides a lithium ion secondary battery containing the lithium iron phosphate material with adhesion and high conductivity prepared by the preparation method.
