Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of mineral processing and battery electrode, and relates to a preparation method of high-performance cobalt-doped iron sulfide battery material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Natural pyrite, as the most widely distributed sulfide mineral in the crust, has abundant reserves, low cost, green and clean, and has a high theoretical specific capacity (894 mAh g -1 However, in the "top-down" preparation process of mineral-based materials, the surface is often exposed to low-energy crystal faces with weak electrochemical activity, which leads to slow interface mass transfer rate and poor rate performance, greatly restricting its practical application prospects. Therefore, exploring the improvement of the interface electrochemical activity of pyrite materials will be the key to the practical application of mineral-based energy storage materials.

[0003] The micro-nano crystal structure (microstructure) of the electrode material surface interface directly determines its atomic spatial configuration and electronic structure, and further determines the transmission rate of electrons / ions in the material. In the field of photoelectric catalysis, adjusting the surface interface microstructure of the material through defects (vacancies, doping) is an effective means to improve the conductivity, adsorption performance and catalytic activity of the catalyst. Therefore, introducing hetero-doping into pyrite is expected to improve the interface electrochemical activity and energy storage performance of the material. However, traditional doping processes usually have long process, high cost, and large pollution of by-products, which restricts large-scale preparation.

[0004] At the same time, due to the principle of atomic affinity, natural pyrite often introduces other hetero-atoms such as cobalt and nickel during mineralization, forming a natural doped state. Therefore, it is of great significance to prepare high-performance iron sulfide battery materials with a short process using natural doped pyrite as raw material. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to improve the specific capacity, stability, rate performance of the battery electrode material, and reduce its production cost, the present application provides a preparation method of high-performance cobalt-doped iron sulfide battery material.

[0006] The preparation method of high-performance cobalt-doped iron sulfide battery material provided by the present application comprises the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: taking cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate as raw material, wet ball milling is first carried out to obtain pyrite slurry; the content of pyrite in the cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate is greater than or equal to 82wt%;

[0008] Step 2: adding a pH adjuster to adjust the pH value of the slurry, then sequentially adding a collector and a frother, and carrying out air flotation to obtain purified cobalt-containing pyrite powder; the collector is selected from at least one of black drugs;

[0009] Step 3: The purified cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate obtained in step 2 is mixed with water in a certain proportion and mechanically ground to obtain a pyrite suspension; a water-soluble high molecular weight organic matter is added to the obtained suspension and stirred to dissolve to obtain a slurry for standby use;

[0010] or

[0011] The purified cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate obtained in step 2 is mixed with water and a water-soluble high molecular weight organic matter in proportion, and mechanically ground to obtain a slurry for standby use;

[0012] The grinding speed of mechanical grinding is greater than 500 rpm and the grinding time is greater than 100 min;

[0013] Step 4: spray drying the prepared slurry obtained in step 3 to obtain cobalt-containing pyrite particles coated with a polymer mixture;

[0014] Step 5: calcining the particles obtained in step 4 to obtain the high-performance cobalt-doped iron sulfide battery material.

[0015] Wherein, in step 1, the pyrite content in the cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate is 82wt% to 95wt%, preferably 85wt% to 95wt%, and the cobalt content is 0.05wt% to 0.5wt%, preferably 0.1wt% to 0.3wt%.

[0016] Wherein, in step 1, the particle size of the cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate is 20 μm-100 μm, preferably 30 μm-80 μm.

[0017] In step 1, the wet ball milling product has a fineness of -37 μm, accounting for 70% to 95%, preferably 80% to 90%. The wet ball milling method of the present invention ensures that the product fineness meets the set requirements, and also achieves sufficient dissociation of the cobalt-containing pyrite from impurity minerals during the grinding process, while ensuring that the particle size is within the flotation range, ensuring the effective flotation purification of the cobalt-containing pyrite in the subsequent process.

[0018] Wherein, in step 2, the pH adjuster is one or more of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lime, etc., and the pH value of the slurry is adjusted to 8-10, preferably 8.5-9.5.

[0019] Wherein, in step 2, the collecting agent is one or more black medicine agents such as butyl ammonium black medicine, aniline black medicine, etc., and the dosage is 100-500g / t, preferably 200-400g / t; the foaming agent is one of No. 2 oil and MIBC, and the dosage is 50-200g / t, preferably 75-150g / t.

[0020] Preferably, in step 2, the collector is composed of butyl ammonium chloride and aniline chloride in a mass ratio of 0.9-1.1:0.9-1.1; further preferably, the collector is composed of butyl ammonium chloride and aniline chloride in a mass ratio of 0.95-1.05:0.95-1.05.

[0021] Wherein, in step 2, the aeration flotation time is 0.5 to 5 minutes, preferably 0.5 to 2 minutes.

In the present invention, the control of the grinding speed and time in step (3) is mainly to obtain a fine-grained material, which is conducive to improving the electrical properties of the product.

[0023] Wherein, in step 3, the water-soluble high molecular organic matter is selected from at least one of starch, cellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid and other water-soluble high molecular organic matter, and the mass ratio of the high molecular organic matter to the purified cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate is 1:1 to 10:1, preferably 2:1 to 5:1. The selection of water-soluble polymers is mainly based on their availability, low cost and strong dispersibility in water. The dosage control is mainly to ensure that the thickness of the carbon coating on the surface of the final material is appropriate. Too little dosage will result in too thin carbon coating, affecting the cyclic stability of the material. Too much dosage will result in too thick carbon layer, reducing the proportion of active material and reducing specific capacity.

[0024] Preferably, in step 3, the water-soluble high molecular organic matter is selected from at least one of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0025] As a further preference, in step 3, the mass ratio of the high molecular organic matter to the purified cobalt-containing pyrite concentrate is 2 to 3:1.

[0026] Wherein, in step 4, the spray drying temperature is 50°C to 100°C, preferably 70°C to 80°C.

[0027] Wherein, in step 5, the calcination temperature is 400° C. to 800° C., preferably 500° C. to 700° C.; the calcination time is 1 h to 5 h, preferably 2 h to 3 h.

[0028] Principles and advantages

[0029] (1) The present invention provides a method for preparing a high-performance cobalt-doped iron sulfide battery material using natural cobalt-containing pyrite as the main raw material, which has the advantages of large resource reserves, low preparation cost, green and clean, and high specific capacity.

[0030] (2) The present application ingeniously utilizes the cobalt doping characteristics introduced during the pyrite mineralization process, avoiding the problems of long process, high cost, high pollution, etc. in the traditional doping process, greatly reducing the production cost, reducing the preparation process, and having high yield, which is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0031] (3) The present application can effectively remove the impurity components such as quartz, mica and calcite which are harmful to the performance of electrode materials in pyrite concentrate through the previous flotation purification, which is beneficial to improve the material performance. At the same time, by adjusting the pH and adding black medicine type collector, cobalt-containing pyrite can be selectively enriched, and the overall doping density of the material can be improved.

[0032] (3) The present application forms a uniform suspension by mixing fine particle level cobalt-containing pyrite and high molecular organic matter, and then forms cobalt-containing pyrite particles uniformly coated with high molecular organic matter through spray drying, which plays an important role in maintaining the structural stability of pyrite electrode materials.

[0033] (4) The high-performance cobalt-doped iron sulfide battery material provided by the present application can be prepared by adjusting the mass ratio of pyrite and high molecular organic matter to prepare cobalt-doped iron sulfide battery materials with different carbon content, which is beneficial to develop high-performance battery materials with high specific capacity, high rate, good stability and long cycle life.
