Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion positive electrode material preparation, and in particular to a lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof, a manganese iron phosphate precursor and a preparation method thereof, and a lithium ion battery. Background Art
[0002] As an important power system, lithium-ion batteries are widely used in 3C products such as computers, communication tools and electronic tools, electric vehicles such as EV and PHEV, and energy storage systems. As a lithium-ion battery positive electrode material, lithium iron phosphate has the characteristics of good safety, good stability and low cost, which has continuously increased its market share. However, the shortcomings of lithium iron phosphate, such as poor electronic conductivity, small lithium ion diffusion coefficient and low energy density, have limited its further development and application in the field of electric vehicles. As an upgraded product of lithium iron phosphate, lithium iron manganese phosphate has the same specific capacity as lithium iron phosphate (theoretical capacity is 170mAh / g), but the introduction of manganese gives it a higher redox potential, thereby increasing the energy density of the material.
[0003] At present, the synthesis methods of lithium manganese iron phosphate mainly include high-temperature solid phase method, hydrothermal method and co-precipitation method. Among them, the high-temperature solid phase method has a simple process flow and is suitable for industrial production, but it is difficult to achieve uniform mixing of manganese and iron at the atomic level, poor consistency, and uneven particle morphology, which affects the compaction density and discharge capacity. The main advantages of the co-precipitation method are uniform particle composition, adjustable size structure, simple operation and industrial production. The preparation of manganese iron phosphate precursor is the key to synthesizing high-performance materials.
[0004] At present, people have conducted extensive research on ferromanganese phosphate precursors. CN114057177A discloses a ferromanganese phosphate and a preparation method thereof. A divalent manganese salt and a divalent iron salt are dissolved in water to obtain a mixed salt solution of manganese salt and iron salt; a phosphorus source is added to the mixed salt solution to obtain a precursor solution; an alkali co-precipitation is added to the precursor solution to obtain a ferromanganese phosphate slurry, wherein the ferromanganese phosphate slurry contains ferrous phosphate precipitation and ferromanganese phosphate precipitation; the ferromanganese phosphate slurry is washed, filtered, and dried to obtain ferromanganese phosphate. The sample prepared by this method has phase separation of ferrous phosphate and manganese phosphate, resulting in an inhomogeneous structure; due to the large deviation in the ratio of metal to phosphorus, a phosphorus source needs to be supplemented in the process of preparing the positive electrode material, and it is not easy to regulate the ratio of metal to phosphorus, which limits the performance of the positive electrode material.
[0005] CN107697899A discloses a preparation method of manganese iron phosphate. First, divalent manganese iron precipitation is carried out under alkaline conditions, then an oxidant is added to oxidize divalent manganese iron to trivalent manganese iron, and subsequently a phosphorus source is added for phosphate conversion. This preparation method has a complex process, involves too many phase transformations between substances, is prone to defects, and it is difficult to control indicators such as the particle size and morphology of the precursor.
