Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery technology, specifically relating to a boron-coated fluorine and zirconium co-doped ternary cathode material, and further discloses its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles recently, the demand for lithium-ion batteries has also increased dramatically. However, charging time and range anxiety are hindering its further development.

[0003] Currently, NCA and NCM type materials are highly promising candidates for high-energy-density lithium-ion battery cathode systems due to their high lithium storage capacity. However, cycling at high current densities significantly reduces the capacity of ternary cathode materials, severely hindering their large-scale application. This is mainly because the cathode material reacts with CO2 and H2O in the environment to generate LiOH and Li2CO3 on its surface. LiOH reacts with LiPF6 in the electrolyte to generate HF, which corrodes Ni and Mn, causing the surface coating to detach, resulting in reduced cycle / storage life. Furthermore, under high-voltage polarization during charging or high-temperature storage, Li2CO3 decomposes to produce CO2 and CH4, and the gradually increasing nickel content leads to severe Li / Ni mixing, resulting in unsatisfactory cycle and storage life. Therefore, to address the market demand for batteries that meet the requirements of fast charging, high power, high energy density, low cost, and high cost-effectiveness, ternary cathode materials with high energy density, long cycle life, and high power performance have been pushed to the forefront of research, and market demand continues to rise.

[0004] Reports indicate that doping with anionic and cation elements affects initial coulombic efficiency and cycle stability. Doping can, to some extent, suppress reversible phase transitions during charge and discharge. Doping can buffer changes in the layered structure during lithium insertion / extraction, reducing reactions between battery components in the charging state, thereby improving cycle life and safety performance. While fluorine doping reduces initial discharge capacity, it significantly improves rate performance and cycle performance, and its electrochemical performance at high temperatures is superior to undoped materials. AC impedance spectroscopy analysis shows that the addition of fluorine reduces charge transfer resistance and improves conductivity. Therefore, fluorine doping is highly beneficial for improving the electrochemical performance of materials. Further improvements can be made through surface conductivity modification, dual-gradient coating, calcination process improvements, the use of surface protective materials, and the application of special conductive materials.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent CN115028211A discloses a fluorine-doped nickel-cobalt-manganese-lithium ternary material that uses fluorine doping. A fluorine-containing compound is used as the fluorine source, reacting with nickel-cobalt-manganese-lithium oxides under specific conditions to synthesize the fluorine-doped nickel-cobalt-manganese-lithium ternary material via a solid-state method. This is achieved through fluorine doping... Replace O2 The doping of fluorine alters the valence state of transition metal ions, thereby changing their crystal structure parameters. More importantly, fluorine doping promotes grain growth and improves crystallinity. Furthermore, the doping level enhances the stability of the interface between the active material and the electrolyte, significantly improving cycle performance. However, this scheme uses only fluorine (F) anion doping, which cannot completely improve the material's long-cycle and rate performance. Excessive anion doping can lead to a decrease in electrical performance. In particular, the primary doping method uses NH4F, which has a melting point of 98°C, leaving residual nitrogen elements that negatively impact electrical performance. The amount of NH4F incorporated into the material after the high-temperature solid-state reaction is difficult to control, and there is a risk of excessively large intergranular gaps. Conversely, excessive impurity levels can cause uneven substitution, severely affecting electrical performance.

[0006] For example, Chinese patent CN108598398A discloses a composite cathode material co-coated with boron carbide and carbon. The coating layer of this material has high conductivity and corrosion resistance, thereby suppressing side reactions between the material and the electrolyte, stabilizing the material structure, and improving its cycle performance. However, this mainly concerns modified lithium iron phosphate cathode materials and does not cover other areas of cathode materials; the conductivity of both is similar, which presents certain limitations.

[0007] Furthermore, Chinese patent CN105098158A discloses a zirconium-doped lithium-ion battery lithium-rich cathode material, the chemical formula of which is Li. 1.2 (Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 ) 1-x Zr x O2 (0 < x < 1) helps reduce particle agglomeration, and the chemical reactions occurring in the hydrothermal system have a faster reaction rate. He Libo et al., in "Zirconium-doped Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese Ternary Materials and Their Preparation Methods," provided a Zr-doped ternary precursor scheme and subsequent preparation method. Zhang Bao et al., in "A Zirconium- and Multi-Anion-Doped Ternary Cathode Material Precursor and Its Preparation Method, Ternary Cathode Material," provided a Zr and multi-anion co-doped ternary precursor scheme and subsequent preparation method. Both methods utilize the mixing and addition of anions and cations at the precursor solution end to modify the material. However, they still face challenges such as elemental interface fusion and grain boundary diffusion growth defects during subsequent high-temperature preparation, requiring further modification during high-temperature calcination.

[0057] The boron-coated fluorine-zirconium co-doped ternary cathode material of this invention uses ZrF4 and θ-Al2O3 as dopants, based on traditional nickel-cobalt-manganese materials. The co-doped ZrF4 can introduce a fluxing effect, and its low melting point reduces calcination temperature and energy consumption, promotes grain growth, and improves crystallinity. Furthermore, the low melting point and monoclinic crystal structure of ZrF4 enhance structural stability and promote inward diffusion of Zr / Al / Li, effectively lowering the calcination temperature and reducing energy consumption. The synergistic use of θ-Al2O3 not only ensures structural stability during low-temperature processing but also guarantees the structural evolution characteristic of homogeneous transformation to a stable α-phase at high temperatures, further improving the structural and thermal stability of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material. The boron-coated fluorine-zirconium co-doped ternary cathode material of this invention, through co-doping of ZrF4 and θ-Al2O3 and subsequent high-temperature sintering solid-state reaction, forms anion-cation co-doped F / Zr / Al, effectively improving reversible capacity, enhancing the stability of the interface between the active material and the electrolyte, and significantly improving its cycle performance. Simultaneously, it effectively reduces the solubility of manganese in organic electrolytes, improves microcracks in the ternary material structure, thereby widening ion channels and interlayer distances, improving the material's discharge efficiency and rate capability, enhancing its high-temperature electrochemical performance, reducing Li / Ni mixing, and ensuring the application performance of battery products.

[0058] The boron-coated fluorine-zirconium co-doped ternary cathode material of this invention is further modified by coating with B4C and γ-Al2O3. The B4C coating improves the surface conductivity of the ternary cathode material, repairs the surface particle morphology, enhances the corrosion resistance of the particle surface, and reduces the increase in cell DCIR and cycle impedance. This effectively improves the material's resistance to electrolyte corrosion, rate capability, surface conductivity, and ion migration ability. Simultaneously, the composite coating of γ-Al2O3 and B4C enhances the particle surface's resistance to hydrofluoric acid corrosion, inhibits the formation and generation of microcracks, improves high-temperature oxidation resistance, reduces surface impedance, increases surface electronic conductivity, and improves the first discharge efficiency, thus ensuring the application performance of the battery product.

[0059] The boron-coated fluorine-zirconium co-doped ternary cathode material of this invention further employs a secondary coating by mixing a more structurally stable α-Al2O3 with a Ni / Co / Mn / F / Zr / Al / B oxide matrix, thereby forming a surface gradient coating structure. This further improves surface conductivity, reduces surface residual alkali, and thus suppresses the occurrence of interfacial side reactions. It effectively enhances the surface gradient coating protective layer, thereby increasing the Li ion migration induction ability and improving the material's cycle performance.

[0060] The boron-coated fluorine-zirconium co-doped ternary cathode material of this invention adopts a composite modification method of multi-element co-doping and coating, which effectively improves the Li / Ni mixing and particle surface band effect in the cathode material. The lithium-ion battery prepared by the ternary cathode material provided by this invention has high specific capacity, rate capability, cycle performance and application effect, and has the advantages of high specific capacity, low DCIR growth and long cycle performance.
