Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and relates to a ternary cathode material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing depletion of fossil energy such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum, renewable resources and environmental issues have gradually become the focus of attention of various countries, and new energy vehicles have emerged as the times require. As one of the core components of new energy vehicles, new energy batteries are in urgent need of rapid development to meet the urgent needs of people for their practical applications. As a very important member of the cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, lithium nickel cobalt manganate has a high discharge specific capacity and is the most promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Currently, the lithium nickel cobalt manganate cathode material has not been widely commercialized, mainly because its cycle stability and rate performance are poor. The main reason for its poor cycle stability is that Ni 2+ is difficult to be completely oxidized to Ni 3+ during the synthesis of the ternary cathode material, and the remaining Ni 2+ has a similar ionic radius to Li+ ions. Therefore, Li + / Ni 2+ mixing occurs during the charge and discharge cycle, resulting in a change in the structure of lithium nickel cobalt manganate and thus affecting the cycle stability.

[0004] CN114975915A discloses a high-nickel NCM ternary cathode material coated with ZnO and Li 2 ZnO 2 and its application. By coating ZnO and Li 2 ZnO 2 on the surface of the high-nickel ternary cathode material, the residual alkali and the inherent rock salt phase on the material surface are removed, but the nickel-lithium mixing of the cathode material is relatively high, affecting the performance of the material.

[0005] CN108777291A mixes a strong oxidizing anhydride with a precursor by ball milling, so that the precursor powder is pre-oxidized to reduce nickel-lithium mixing and improve the reversible capacity of the battery. Although it reduces Li + / Ni 2+ mixing to a certain extent, simple coating is difficult to increase the content of Ni 3+ during the synthesis process. Although the pre-oxidation method can increase the content of Ni 3+ in the early stage, it is difficult to inhibit the transformation of Ni 3+ to Ni 2+ in the subsequent synthesis, and the nickel-lithium mixing cannot be further reduced.

[0006] The above - mentioned solutions reduce the Ni - Li mixing by simply coating or preparing hydroxyoxides, but it is difficult to inhibit Ni 3+ in the subsequent synthesis, and the effect of reducing Ni - Li mixing is poor. 2+ The transformation of reduces the Ni - Li mixing with a poor effect.

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that the second-stage sintering is not subjected to light treatment, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in Example 1.

[0081] Performance test:

[0082] The cathode materials obtained in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1 are taken, and a slurry is prepared according to the ratio of cathode material: conductive carbon black: PVDF: N-methylpyrrolidone of 90:5:5:40. The slurry is coated on an aluminum foil sheet, vacuum dried, and roll-pressed to obtain a cathode sheet. Using the cathode sheet as the cathode and a lithium sheet as the anode, a button cell is assembled, and the charge-discharge voltage is set to 3.0-4.3 V. The initial capacity and cycle performance of the battery are tested under 1C conditions, and the test results are shown in Table 1:

[0083] Table 1

[0084]

[0085] As can be seen from Table 1, it can be obtained from Examples 1-4 that for the NCM622 type battery prepared by the ternary cathode material prepared by the method of the present disclosure, the initial discharge specific capacity can reach more than 178.04 mAh / g, the discharge specific capacity can reach more than 176 mAh / g after 100 cycles, and the capacity retention rate can reach more than 98.85%. For the NCM811 type battery, the initial discharge specific capacity can reach 213.54 mAh / g, the discharge specific capacity can reach 209.18 mAh / g after 100 cycles, and the capacity retention rate can reach 97.96%. For the NCM523 type battery, the initial discharge specific capacity can reach 168.24 mAh / g, the discharge specific capacity can reach 166.41 mAh / g after 100 cycles, and the capacity retention rate can reach 98.91%, showing good electrochemical performance.

[0086] From the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 5-6, it can be obtained that during the preparation process of the ternary cathode material of the present disclosure, the light intensity of the second-stage sintering will affect the performance of the prepared ternary cathode material. When the light intensity is controlled at 12-36 mW / cm 2 , the performance of the prepared cathode material is better. If the light intensity is too high, other side reactions of titanium dioxide may be excited. If the light intensity is too low, the reaction rate of hole generation will be reduced.

[0087] From the comparison between Example 1 and Example 7, it can be obtained that the temperature of the second-stage sintering of the present disclosure needs to be controlled within 900 °C. If the sintering temperature is too high, most of the anatase titanium dioxide will transform into rutile titanium dioxide, and the photocatalytic performance will be reduced.

[0088] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be obtained that during the preparation process of the ternary cathode material of the present disclosure, by using light assistance, Ni 2+ can be better oxidized to Ni 3+ , and it can also inhibit Ni 3+ from transforming into Ni 2+ during the synthesis process, improve the electrochemical performance of the material, and reduce the lithium-nickel mixing caused by incomplete oxidation of nickel ions and the transformation of nickel ions. At the same time, the surface coating of titanium dioxide on the prepared ternary cathode material reduces the direct contact between the cathode material and the electrolyte, reduces the adverse reactions between the two, and improves the cycle stability of the cathode material.
