Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of secondary batteries, and in particular relates to a MOF-coated ternary cathode material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of new energy, lithium-ion batteries have developed rapidly. Among lithium-ion battery materials, positive electrode materials, as one of the important key materials, are of great significance in determining the performance of batteries.

[0003] Most current ternary cathode materials are composed of large secondary particles formed by the agglomeration of primary particles. These particles are prone to numerous crystal defects, resulting in uneven particle size and poor battery consistency. This results in a small contact area between the ternary cathode material and the electrolyte, hindering lithium ion migration. Furthermore, the agglomerated secondary particles result in a large particle size, with D50 values ​​mostly exceeding 10μm, leading to low compaction and a poor battery energy density. Effectively increasing the contact area between the cathode material and the electrolyte and improving the structural stability of the cathode material are key to extending battery life.

[0004] Currently, the main approach to address the above problems is to prepare coated or doped single crystal positive electrodes, which is a good solution. However, these methods still have great limitations, such as complex steps, uneven doping, or too high annealing temperature, which can easily cause structural lithium to escape and cause excessive residual lithium on the surface of the structure, affecting material performance.

The modified Fe2(DHBQ)3, as a new MOF material, has a simple structure, excellent conductivity and stability, and can also be used as a positive electrode material for lithium secondary batteries, showing some unique properties in the storage and conversion of electrical properties. Using the modified Fe2(DHBQ)3 as a coating for the ternary positive electrode material, firstly, effectively improves the structural stability of the ternary positive electrode material and enhances the cycle performance; secondly, the high porosity and large specific surface area of ​​the modified Fe2(DHBQ)3 improve the liquid absorption of the electrode and increase the battery's liquid retention; thirdly, the excellent conductivity of the modified Fe2(DHBQ)3 improves the electronic conductivity of the ternary positive electrode material, reduces the internal resistance, and improves the rate performance; finally, the modified Fe2(DHBQ)3 itself can intercalate and deintercalate lithium ions, improving the theoretical specific capacity and first efficiency of the ternary positive electrode material, and also showing excellent rate and cycle performance.

The prepared saturated FeCl3 solution was added dropwise to the boiling water until the liquid turned reddish-brown, and then heating was stopped to obtain Fe(OH)3 colloid. When the temperature of the Fe(OH)3 colloid dropped to 75°C, 1.5 equivalents of DHBQ ligand was added. The mixture was reacted in an air atmosphere with a disperser for 35 minutes.

After 10 minutes, the product in the reaction chamber is collected, which is the ternary positive electrode material coated with the modified MOF material Fe2(DHBQ)3.

[0068] Test Case

[0069] The ternary cathode materials obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were characterized by SEM. Figure 1 and Figure 2From the comparison, it can be seen that the surface of the ternary positive electrode material in Example 1 is uniformly coated with the modified MOF material Fe2(DHBQ)3.

[0070] The ternary cathode materials in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were made into 3Ah wound soft-pack batteries, and 1C / 2C / 3C rate discharge tests and 45° high temperature cycle tests were performed at a test voltage of 3.0-4.35V. The test results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown in .

[0071] Depend on Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen from the test results that the ternary positive electrode material coated with the modified MOF material Fe2(DHBQ)3 in the present invention has significantly improved 2C, 3C rate discharge performance and high temperature cycle performance at high voltage.

[0072] Table 1 3Ah soft pack battery rate discharge and 45° high temperature cycle test results

[0073]

[0074] The test results in Table 1 show that the high-temperature cycle performance of the coated ternary cathode materials in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is significantly better than that of the uncoated ternary cathode materials. This is because the uncoated ternary cathode materials are relatively unstable and their structure slowly deteriorates during the cycle, resulting in poor cycle performance. The rate discharge performance of the ternary cathode material coated with the modified MOF material Fe2(DHBQ)3 in Example 1 is significantly better than that of the uncoated ternary cathode material. This is because the high porosity and high conductivity of the modified MOF material Fe2(DHBQ)3 improve the diffusion of lithium ions and reduce impedance. Compared with the conventional coating material alumina and conventional coating method used in Comparative Example 2, the modified MOF material Fe2(DHBQ)3 of the present invention can itself deintercalate and deintercalate lithium ions, thereby improving the theoretical specific capacity and initial efficiency of the ternary positive electrode material, and the coating effect is also better. This is mainly because the present invention utilizes the characteristics of supercritical fluid, which expands violently at the moment of ejection, causing a violent collision with the ternary positive electrode material to be coated, and can quickly coat the surface of the ternary positive electrode material, thereby significantly improving the coating efficiency and effect. The ejection time can also be controlled to control the coating amount. Specifically, using the traditional coating method, an overly thick coating layer will hinder the escape of lithium ions and the contact between the electrolyte and the material, reduce the electrical conductivity, and thus affect the battery capacity and cycle to a certain extent.

[0075] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0076] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
