Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electrode materials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a high specific surface area carbon-coated lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material. Background Art

[0002] Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) has a similar theoretical capacity of 170 mAh / g, similar to LFP. However, due to its operating voltage of 4.1V, its theoretical energy density approaches 700 Wh / kg, a 15-20% increase over LFP. This higher energy density makes LFP cathode material potentially capable of exceeding the current upper limit of battery range. Furthermore, LFP material costs approximately 28% less than LFP. Considering LFP's low-temperature performance, safety, and cycling performance, its use as a positive electrode material for power batteries has become a growing trend.

[0003] The patent application with publication number CN105470510A discloses a modified lithium iron manganese phosphate cathode material and a preparation method thereof. The modified lithium iron manganese phosphate cathode material has a chemical composition of Li 1-y Ti y Fe 1-x Mn x PO4, where x ranges from 0.2≤x≤0.6, and y ranges from 0.01≤y≤0.1. First, a titanium-doped lithium iron manganese phosphate precursor is prepared by a high-speed shear emulsifier, and then the precursor is mixed with a carbon source and sintered to finally prepare a modified lithium iron manganese phosphate material. This method has a short reaction time, simple operation, reacts under normal pressure, the precursor particle size is controllable, and the yield is as high as over 99%. The electrochemical performance is excellent, with a first discharge capacity of 155.8mAh / g at a rate of 0.1C, a capacity retention rate of 97.4% after 100 cycles at a rate of 1C, and a discharge capacity of 115.4mAh / g at 8C. However, its first discharge capacity cannot be better.

[0004] Patent application publication number CN115332516A discloses a magnesium-nickel co-doped lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material and its preparation method. The material comprises a positive electrode active material and a coating material composited on the surface of the positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material comprises a lithium iron manganese phosphate matrix and magnesium and nickel co-doped within the lithium iron manganese phosphate matrix, with the magnesium doping percentage being 0.5-3% by weight and the nickel doping percentage being 0.5-3% by weight. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, dissolving a lithium source, a phosphorus source, an iron source, a manganese source, a magnesium source, and a nickel source in a solvent and continuously stirring, then dropwise adding a carbon source until the mixture forms a gel; S2, drying the gel mixture to obtain a xerogel; S3, calcining the xerogel in a protective atmosphere to obtain a carbon-coated magnesium-nickel co-doped lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material. However, this invention fails to achieve improved electrical conductivity and discharge specific capacity.

[0005] The lithium manganese phosphate prepared in the existing public technology has low electronic conductivity and ion diffusion coefficient, making it difficult to obtain a lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material with high battery capacity and high energy density.

[0014] The preparation method of the modified glucose containing lauryl ester comprises the following steps:

[0015] Glucosamine, hexafluorobutyl acrylate and lauryl acrylate are reacted to obtain the lauryl acrylate-containing modified glucose.

[0016] Preferably, the mass ratio of glucosamine, hexafluorobutyl acrylate and lauryl acrylate is 500-2000:1:60-540. The reaction temperature is 70-80° C. and the reaction time is 60-120 minutes.

[0017] Specifically, the preparation method of the modified glucose containing lauryl ester comprises the following steps:

[0019] Modified glucose containing lauryl ester is obtained by addition reaction of glucosamine, hexafluorobutyl acrylate and lauryl acrylate, which is used to increase the escape of carbon dioxide and the specific surface area of the coating layer.

[0032] The present invention also provides the use of the high specific surface area carbon-coated lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material in the preparation of lithium ion batteries.

[0033] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0034] (1) The magnesium and titanium in the present invention respectively replace part of the lithium and iron, that is, form defects and impurity energy levels in the lithium iron manganese phosphate material through substitution at different positions. Magnesium and titanium work synergistically to improve the conductivity of the lithium iron manganese phosphate and increase the battery capacity of the material.

[0035] (2) The modified glucose containing lauryl ester in the present invention can promote the proliferation of electrode materials and the interlacing between positive electrode material layers due to the alkyl chain, thereby increasing the specific surface area of the battery, improving the coating performance, specific surface area, cycle life and safety performance of the battery. The primary coating layer (i.e., the hexafluorobutyl ester hydrophobic coating layer) reduces the water absorption rate, overcoming the disadvantage that the high specific surface area causes significant water absorption in the battery during and after the battery production process.
