Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of battery materials, and in particular to a lithium supplement material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion battery is a widely used secondary battery. At present, the commonly used negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries is graphite, but due to the limited theoretical capacity of graphite negative electrodes, the development of lithium-ion batteries towards high energy density is restricted. Therefore, negative electrode materials with higher capacity such as silicon-based negative electrodes, tin-based negative electrodes, and hard carbon negative electrodes are gradually being applied to lithium-ion batteries. However, negative electrode materials with higher capacity such as silicon-based negative electrodes, tin-based negative electrodes, and hard carbon negative electrodes generally have the disadvantage of low initial charge and discharge efficiency, which seriously affects the full battery capacity and the improvement of actual energy density.

[0003] The disadvantage of low initial charge and discharge efficiency of the above-mentioned negative electrode materials can be solved by replenishing lithium in the negative electrode sheet. The current lithium replenishment methods mainly include: (1) replenishing lithium by mechanically pressing metal lithium foil and negative electrode sheet; (2) sprinkling lithium powder on the surface of the negative electrode sheet to replenish lithium; (3) preparing lithium powder into slurry and then coating it on the surface of the negative electrode sheet to replenish lithium; (4) depositing lithium on the surface of the negative electrode sheet by vacuum thermal evaporation; (5) inserting lithium into the negative electrode sheet by electroplating or electrodeposition; (6) mixing the negative electrode material with metal lithium powder and ball milling, or heating and melting the metal lithium and mixing it with the negative electrode material to directly replenish the negative electrode material with lithium; (7) first preparing lithium silicide powder Li x Si, and then mix the lithium silicide powder with the negative electrode material to supplement lithium.

[0004] However, the operation of replenishing lithium to the negative electrode is usually complicated and has serious safety hazards. Therefore, some technicians are studying the replenishment of lithium to the positive electrode, for example, Li2NiO2, Li5FeO4, Li3N, Li2O2, Li2S, etc. Taking Li3N as an example, Li3N has the advantages of high lithium replenishment capacity and a relatively safe lithium replenishment process. However, Li3N has poor chemical stability in the air and is easily converted into lithium carbonate in the air and releases ammonia, which affects the lithium replenishment effect of Li3N. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a lithium replenishment material with better lithium replenishment effect. Summary of the invention

After vacuum packaging, standing, formation, shaping, capacity testing and other processes, the preparation of the lithium battery of Comparative Example 1 is completed.

[0161] Comparative Example 2:

[0162] The steps of Comparative Example 2 are basically the same as those of Example 1, except that the preparation of the lithium supplement material precursor includes the following steps: dissolving 50 g of manganese sulfate and 85 g of nickel sulfate in 800 mL of water, adding 32 mL of ammonia water under stirring (3650 r / min), stirring at room temperature for 20 min, then heating to 57°C, adding 48 mL of ammonia water and 700 mL of prepared 35 g / L ammonium oxalate, continuing to stir for 35 min, then further heating to 70°C, continuing to stir for 4 h, and obtaining a precursor after aging.

[0163] Comparative Example 3:

[0164] The steps of Comparative Example 3 are basically the same as those of Example 1, except that the preparation of the lithium supplement material precursor includes the following steps: dissolving 50 g of manganese sulfate and 85 g of nickel sulfate in 800 mL of water, adding 32 mL of ammonia water under stirring (3650 r / min), stirring at room temperature for 20 min, then heating to 57°C, adding 48 mL of ammonia water and 450 mL of 0.5 mol / L sodium hydroxide, continuing to stir for 35 min, then further heating to 70°C, continuing to stir for 4 h, and obtaining a precursor after aging.

[0165] Comparative Example 4:

[0166] The steps of Comparative Example 4 are substantially the same as those of Example 1, except that the steps of preparing the positive electrode sheet include:

[0167] LiFePO4, conductive carbon black (Super-P), binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and the lithium supplement material prepared above were fully stirred and mixed in an N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) solvent system at a weight ratio of 92:4:4:1.84, and then coated on aluminum foil to control the coating surface density to 10 mg / cm 2 Up to 20 mg / cm 2 After drying at 105°C for 4 hours, cold pressing, punching and welding of the pole ears, the positive electrode sheet of Comparative Example 4 was obtained.

[0168] Electrochemical testing:

[0169] Rate performance test: After standing, the lithium-ion batteries of Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were charged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 4.4V, then charged at a constant voltage to a current of 0.025C, and then discharged to 3V at rates of 0.1C, 0.5C and 1C, respectively, and the discharge gram capacity at different discharge rates was recorded.

[0170] Cycle performance test: After standing, the lithium-ion batteries of Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were charged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 4.4V, then charged at a constant voltage to a current of 0.025C, and then discharged at a rate of 0.1C to, and the above charge / discharge steps were repeated for 2 cycles to complete the formation of the electrochemical device to be tested. Subsequently, 100 cycles were performed at a charge / discharge rate of 0.5C in the range of 3V-4.4V, and the capacity retention rate was calculated by the discharge gram capacity before and after the cycle. The results of the electrochemical test are shown in Table 1 below:

[0171] Table 1

[0172]

[0173] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Examples 1, 7 and 8, it can be seen that the lithium supplement material cannot form a hollow structure in Comparative Example 1. Compared with Examples 1-8 in which the lithium supplement material has a hollow structure, a short axis length of 200-300 nm, and a long axis length of 420-650 nm, the specific capacity and the capacity retention rate at 0.5 C of Comparative Example 1 are significantly different from those of Examples 1-8; Comparing Comparative Examples 2-3 with Examples 1, 7 and 8, it can be seen that when the mass ratio of manganese sulfate to lithium carbonate is not within the range of (1.65-1.95):1, the formed Li 1+n Ni x Mn y The specific capacity of the O2 lithium-supplementing material and the capacity retention rate at 0.5C are somewhat different from those of Examples 1-8. Compared with the lithium-supplementing materials prepared in Examples 1, 7 and 8, the lithium-supplementing materials prepared in Comparative Examples 2-3 have higher delithiation potentials and smaller specific capacities, and therefore have poorer performance.

[0174] Comparing Comparative Example 4 with Examples 1, 7 and 8, it can be seen that the specific capacity and capacity retention rate of Comparative Example 4 are significantly deteriorated, which shows that the lithium supplement material prepared in the present disclosure cannot be mixed with the positive electrode active material and then coated on the positive electrode current collector.

[0175] By comparing Examples 1, 7 and 8 with Examples 2-6, it can be seen that the selection of the coprecipitant and the method of adding the complexing agent have an impact on the microscopic morphology of the prepared lithium supplement material. By using a suitable coprecipitant and complexing agent feeding method, the resulting hollow structure can not only not affect the migration of lithium ions, but also not embed too much lithium to cause a decrease in cycle performance. It can also maintain the structure and morphology after multiple cycles and can improve the capacity.

[0176] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present disclosure after considering the specification and practicing the disclosure disclosed herein. The present disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art that are not disclosed in the present disclosure.
