Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium battery positive electrode materials, and in particular to a production process for jointly preparing lithium iron phosphate. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have an irreplaceable function in energy regulation and have been widely used due to their high specific energy, long cycle life, no memory effect, and no environmental pollution.

[0003] At present, the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries is not perfect and the cost is high. The positive electrode material is mostly lithium iron phosphate, and the production of lithium iron phosphate requires materials such as iron phosphate source and lithium source to synthesize. The iron phosphate source usually uses ferrous phosphate or iron-containing phosphate ore as raw materials, such as ammonium ferrous phosphate (NH4FePO4·H2O) or phosphate iron ore; the lithium source generally uses lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide. Most companies do not have the ability to produce the above raw materials at the same time, and most of them are purchased from outside. In addition, because lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and iron phosphate raw materials are produced by different companies with different processes, their prices, quality, performance, etc. are uneven, resulting in poor stability of lithium iron phosphate products, low electrical performance indicators, and easy to be eliminated by the market. In addition, the electronic conductivity and Li+ diffusion coefficient of pure lithium iron phosphate materials are poor, which seriously affects its electrochemical performance and limits its further application. At present, ion doping, coating and other technologies are usually used to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium iron phosphate materials.

[0004] For example, the patent with publication number CN115133010A proposes a nitrogen-doped carbon-modified lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material, which is coated with a functionally modified carbon nanotube LiFePO4 material, overcoming the defect that carbon nanotubes are difficult to disperse, so that they can fully play the function of improving conductivity and mechanical properties in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material system. At the same time, by doping B, N and introducing iron ions and sodium ions, the enhancement effect of carbon nanotubes on conductivity can be further improved. The conventional method for lithium iron phosphate doping generally includes the following steps: precursor preparation; coprecipitation; calcination; crushing and molding. It requires the preparation of a liquid precursor, and then the solid lithium source and iron phosphate source are added to the precursor to react, and the ions to be doped are doped into the lithium iron phosphate to improve the electrochemical performance.

[0005] Precise control of the doping process is crucial to obtain doped lithium iron phosphate materials with excellent electrochemical properties. However, conventional preparation methods of lithium iron phosphate and its doping methods are to mix solid iron phosphate source and lithium source in water and then dry and sinter them. The utilization efficiency of lithium ions and iron phosphate ions is limited, and correspondingly, the doping effect on lithium iron phosphate is also limited.

[0006] In order to optimize the preparation process and method of lithium iron phosphate, the present invention provides a production process for jointly preparing lithium iron phosphate. Summary of the invention

[0038] The present invention adopts a production process for the joint preparation of lithium iron phosphate, which has the production process of lithium and iron phosphate slurry, and then uses the two slurries to prepare lithium iron phosphate. The liquid-solid combined production method can control the product quality and performance from the source, and the product has good stability, low cost and strong market competitiveness. And this joint production process can also be connected to produce lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and iron phosphate finished products and sell them out;

[0041] When the subsequent raw material slurry reacts, the dopant precursor is mixed and adapted to the system. During the raw material reaction process, doping is carried out directly. Compared with ordinary liquid-solid doping, it is more uniform and has higher doping efficiency. Doping is completed simultaneously with the reaction, and the requirements for doping conditions are relatively low. Further solidification can be achieved by subsequent sintering; higher efficiency doping is achieved on the basis of easier doping.

[0042] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0043] 1. The present invention has the process of producing lithium and iron phosphate slurry at the same time, and then uses the two slurries to prepare lithium iron phosphate. The liquid-solid combined production method can control the product quality and performance from the source, and the product has good stability, low cost and strong market competitiveness;

[0044] 2. The present invention ensures that the iron phosphate slurry and the lithium slurry are premixed with the dopant without destroying the first precursor and the second precursor, and the dopant mixing is more uniform, and the titanium doping is done by titanium phosphate doping, which can ensure that the titanium is doped in the iron position but not in the lithium position;

[0045] 3. The present invention facilitates the control of the addition ratio of the dopant while allowing the dopant to be premixed in the precursor in advance, so that the dopant and the reacting raw material slurry are premixed in advance to react, thereby obtaining a precursor mixed solution with a higher concentration that meets the reaction conditions of the raw material slurry, thereby achieving more efficient doping while making doping easier.
