Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery cathode materials, and particularly relates to a lithium nickel manganese oxide coated by a Joule heat flash evaporation method and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries have high working voltage, long cycle life, small self-discharge and other advantages, and have been widely used in the fields of digital products, electric tools, electric vehicles and energy storage power stations. The cathode material is one of the key materials of lithium ion batteries, and directly affects the energy density, power density and production cost of the battery. High-voltage lithium nickel manganese oxide has a voltage platform of 4.7V and a theoretical specific capacity of 147mAh / g, and does not contain expensive metal cobalt elements, which is one of the most ideal cathode materials for the next generation of lithium ion batteries. However, the lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode material still has problems such as electrolyte decomposition at high voltage, poor compatibility between the material and the electrolyte, manganese ion dissolution, and cell swelling, which will cause the cycle performance of the battery to deteriorate. By improving the contact interface between the material and the electrolyte, i.e. coating a solid-state electrolyte on the surface of the material, the cycle performance of the battery can be effectively improved, and the rate performance of the material can also be improved.

[0003] Some coating technologies for lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode materials are also disclosed in the prior art. For example, patent CN105374997B discloses a preparation method for coating lithium nickel manganese oxide with a composite material, which adds a calcium salt, a zirconium salt and a titanium salt composite solution to a lithium nickel manganese oxide precursor suspension, uses PEG as a dispersing agent and citric acid as a complexing agent, and obtains a CaO, ZrO2 and TiO2 coated lithium nickel manganese oxide precursor by mechanical stirring and constant temperature water bath reaction in an ammonia solution with a pH value. Then, the coated lithium nickel manganese oxide composite material is obtained by calcination and annealing treatment in an air atmosphere. Patent CN109817968B discloses lithium nickel manganese oxide particles coated on the surface and a manufacturing method thereof. Coating lithium vanadate on the surface of lithium nickel manganese oxide can prevent direct contact between the material and the electrolyte, alleviate the disproportionation reaction of Mn 3+ and the oxidation of Mn 4+ , alleviate the cell swelling problem, and improve the battery capacity and the initial coulomb efficiency.

[0004] At high voltage, the electrolyte LiPF6 will react with trace amounts of water in the electrolyte to produce HF, thereby causing the dissolution of manganese ions, which precipitate on the surface of the electrode in the form of metal particles, which is the main cause of the deterioration of the cycle performance of the material. At the same time, the dissolution of manganese ions will cause the oxygen release reaction to occur on the surface of the cathode material, and the released oxygen will react with the electrolyte to produce gas, which is the main cause of the cell swelling.

[0005] The existing coating technology mainly uses inorganic oxides and phosphates to protect the surface of the positive electrode material, which cannot effectively inhibit the side reaction caused by trace water in the electrolyte and cannot effectively inhibit the release of oxygen on the surface of the positive electrode material.

[0006] In 2020, James M. Tour et al. proposed a flash Joule heat technology, which uses the high voltage, large current and large power provided by the capacitor to instantaneously heat up to prepare graphene (Luong D X, Bets K V, Algozeeb W A, et al. Gram-scale bottom-up flash graphene synthesis [J]. Nature, 2020, 577(7792): 647-651.). The person skilled in the art urgently needs to develop a Joule heat flash method for coating modified lithium nickel manganese oxide and a preparation method thereof to meet the existing application market and performance requirements. SUMMARY

[0007] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a sulfide solid electrolyte coated lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, which aims to solve the compatibility of lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material and electrolyte, improve the cycle performance of the battery and reduce the expansion of the battery caused by the release of oxygen on the surface of the positive electrode material.

[0008] The present application also provides a method for coating a sulfide solid electrolyte on a lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, which is a Joule heat flash method. In a Joule heat reactor, the solid sulfide electrolyte precursor is rapidly sublimed and deposited on the surface of the positive electrode material to obtain a sulfide solid electrolyte coated lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material.

[0013] The above-mentioned method for preparing modified nickel-manganese lithium oxide material by Joule thermal flash evaporation is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0014] A) Lithium sulfide, M'-containing sulfide, and M”-containing sulfide are mixed evenly and then pressed into a blank;

[0015] B) Place the billet and lithium nickel manganese oxide matrix into a Joule thermal reactor, and adjust the current intensity, pulse time and reaction time through the billet under vacuum to make the billet sublimate under the Joule thermal effect.

[0016] C) The sublimated preform material forms a uniform coating layer on the surface of the lithium nickel manganese oxide matrix;

[0017] D) After cooling, lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode material coated with sulfide solid electrolyte.

[0018] Furthermore, the M'-containing sulfide is selected from one or more of silicon sulfide, germanium sulfide, tin sulfide, and lead sulfide; the M"-containing sulfide is selected from one or more of phosphorus sulfide, antimony sulfide, and arsenic sulfide. Preferably, the M'-containing sulfide is selected from one or more of SiS, SiS2, GeS, GeS2, SnS, SnS2, PbS, and PbS2; the M"-containing sulfide is selected from P4S3, P4S5, and P4S 10 As4S3, As4S5, As4S 10 Sb4S3, Sb4S5, Sb4S 10 One or more of the following. More preferably, the M'-containing sulfide is selected from one or more of SiS, SiS2, GeS, GeS2, SnS, and SnS2; the M"-containing sulfide is selected from P4S3, P4S5, and P4S... 10 Sb4S3, Sb4S5, Sb4S 10 One or more of them.

[0019] Furthermore, the mixing ratio of lithium sulfide, M'-containing sulfide, and M"-containing sulfide is in accordance with the chemical formula Li a M' b M” c S dThe molar ratio is calculated in the formula.

[0020] Further, the current intensity through the blank body is 0-500 A, the pulse time is 1-100 ms, and the reaction time is 0.1-300 s. Preferably, the current intensity through the blank body is 10-300 A, the pulse time is 1-50 ms, and the reaction time is 5-200 s. More preferably, the current intensity through the blank body is 100-200 A, the pulse time is 5-40 ms, and the reaction time is 5-30 s.

[0021] Due to the inevitable absorption of water in the air by the electrolyte during production, transportation and storage, the electrolyte contains a small amount of water molecules. The sulfur-containing solid-state electrolyte can react with a small amount of water to generate lithium hydroxide and lithium hydrogen sulfate salt, removing the trace water in the electrolyte and avoiding the generation of HF, and reducing the deterioration of the material cycle performance caused by the dissolution of manganese ions. Take Li2S as an example, the specific reaction equation is as follows: H2O+Li2S=LiHS+LiOH; take Li3PS4 as an example, the specific reaction equation is as follows: H2O+Li3PS4=Li2PHS4+LiOH; take Li 10 GeP2S 12 As an example, the specific reaction equation is as follows: H2O+Li 10 GeP2S 12 =Li9GeP2HS 12 +LiOH; the reaction mechanism of other sulfur-containing solid-state electrolytes is consistent with the above compounds. If oxygen release occurs on the surface of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, it will first undergo an oxidation reaction with the sulfur-containing solid-state electrolyte, avoiding the gas production caused by the side reaction of oxygen and electrolyte, and effectively inhibiting the swelling of the battery.

[0022] Compared with the existing positive electrode material coating technology, the Joule heat flash evaporation method directly utilizes the in-situ heating of the internal resistance of the solid-state electrolyte itself, can produce instantaneous high temperature in a very short time, makes the solid-state electrolyte flash evaporate and deposit on the surface of the lithium nickel manganese oxide substrate, has the advantages of high reaction temperature, fast heating rate, short reaction time and low energy consumption. A low-porosity, uniform and thin coating layer can be formed on the surface of the lithium nickel manganese oxide substrate, effectively improving the lithium ion transference rate of the surface of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material.
