Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of recycling and cyclic reuse of waste power lithium-ion batteries, and in particular to a direct regeneration and repair process for failed nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide lithium positive electrode materials and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage technology, the demand for nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials has increased dramatically. The main components of nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials (such as nickel, cobalt, manganese, etc.) are scarce resources. In order to meet people's daily application needs while improving resource utilization efficiency, it is necessary to repair and reuse failed nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials. How to repair failed nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials has become a hot topic for scientists.

[0003] The prior art has a treatment method for regenerating and repairing completely failed nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials, one of which is to subject the completely failed nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials to degradation treatment, followed by annealing treatment to obtain pretreated nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials, and then disperse the pretreated nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials in a LiOH solution for hydrothermal reaction, and obtain reprocessed nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials after the reaction is completed, and finally the nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials obtained by the hydrothermal reaction are mixed with a small amount of LiOH and calcined at high temperature twice to obtain repaired and regenerated nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials. However, the hydrothermal treatment adopted by the above method is carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions, and there are safety issues in the lithium replenishment process. It is not applicable to industrial large-scale (hundreds of kilograms) production and is prone to safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a simple, safe and efficient process for directly regenerating and repairing failed nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the defects in the prior art, the present invention proposes a direct regeneration and repair process for failed nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide lithium positive electrode materials and its application.

[0006] The present invention provides a direct regeneration and repair process for failed nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide lithium positive electrode materials, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: placing the spent nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material in a sodium hydroxide solution to remove residual aluminum impurities in the spent positive electrode material, and obtaining a preliminarily treated spent nickel cobalt manganese oxide material after stirring, filtering and drying;

[0008] S2: performing impurity removal treatment on the initially treated spent nickel cobalt manganese oxide material obtained in step S1 at 250-500° C. to obtain a pretreated spent nickel cobalt manganese oxide material. This step can remove impurities such as the diaphragm and PVDF in the material;

[0009] S3: The pretreated spent nickel cobalt manganese oxide material obtained in step S2 is mixed with lithium salt and nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide in a mass ratio of 1:0.2:(0.1-0.6) to obtain a mixed material; the mass ratios of the spent nickel cobalt manganese oxide material and lithium salt and nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide are 1:0.2:0.1, 1:0.2:0.2, 1:0.2:0.3, 1:0.2:0.4, 1:0.2:0.5 and 1:0.2:0.6.

[0010] S4: The mixed material obtained in step S3 is heated to 450-650°C in an air atmosphere for the first heat preservation, and then heated to 800-1000°C for the second heat preservation. After the heat preservation is completed, the temperature is lowered to room temperature to obtain a directly regenerated nickel cobalt manganese oxide lithium material.

[0011] The present invention uses a nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide precursor for the first time to directly repair failed positive electrode materials. The lithium salt and the precursor are uniformly added to the failed nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide lithium by solid mixing, and then the lithium replenishment process is completed after two high-temperature calcinations. This avoids lithium replenishment in a high-pressure closed container, improves the lithium replenishment efficiency and the migration rate of lithium, and greatly improves the repair effect. The rock salt phase in the failed material can be transformed into a layered structure to achieve recovery of the failed structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the step S1 also includes sieving the initially treated spent lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material, wherein the sieving can separate coarse and fine materials to obtain a powder with uniform particle size; the mesh size used for the sieving is 50-300 mesh, such as 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300 mesh.

[0013] Furthermore, the time for the impurity removal treatment in step S2 is 1-5 hours.

[0014] Furthermore, the lithium salt is selected from one or more of lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, lithium nitrate and lithium chloride.

[0015] Furthermore, the step S3 also includes doping Nb2O5 with a mass fraction of 0-1%wt. Doping Nb2O5 can further stabilize the layered structure and improve the long-term cycle stability of the regenerated positive electrode material.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S4, the first insulation time is 1-3 hours, and the second insulation time is 1-5 hours. High-temperature calcination in an air atmosphere can further improve the stability of the repair material.

[0017] Furthermore, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution in step S1 is 0.5-3 mol / L.

[0018] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the spent nickel cobalt manganese oxide material pretreated in step S3 to the lithium salt and nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide is 1:0.2:0.2.

[0019] The present invention also provides the application of the direct regeneration and repair process in treating waste power lithium-ion batteries.

[0020] The present invention also provides a nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide lithium positive electrode material repaired by the direct regeneration repair process.

[0021] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following technical effects:

[0022] (1) The direct regeneration and repair process of the failed nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide lithium positive electrode material provided by the present invention completes lithium replenishment by high-temperature calcination after mixing, avoids the use of closed high-pressure conditions, and significantly improves the safety of the repair process;

[0087] The electrochemical performance of the regenerated and repaired nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode materials provided in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was tested, and then compared with the test results of the commercial nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material NCM523.

[0088] Table 1. Performance test results of examples and comparative examples

[0089]

[0090] By comparing Example 1, Examples 4-5 with Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that the amount of precursor nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide added will affect the regeneration effect. As the amount of precursor increases, the capacity will increase, but when the added amount exceeds a certain proportion, the capacity will decrease to a certain extent. Increasing the proportion of precursor can improve the lithium replenishment efficiency and the lithium migration rate, but adding too little or too much will inhibit this process, making the repair effect worse.

[0091] The test data in Table 1 about the battery capacity under 0.5C charge and discharge conditions and the capacity retention rate after 250 cycles under 0.5C charge and discharge conditions show that the direct regeneration and repair process in Examples 1-5 of the present invention is used, by pre-treating the failed nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material, adding a special precursor and a lithium salt thereto, and then calcining it in two steps under an air atmosphere to obtain the regenerated and repaired nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material, the electrochemical performance is significantly improved, can meet the standards for commercial applications, and has obvious advantages over the comparative example.

[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
