Technical Field

[0002] Spinel lithium manganate has a three-dimensional lithium-ion diffusion channel, excellent rate performance and low-temperature performance, and low cost, and has received extensive attention in recent years. However, its relatively low energy density, severe manganese dissolution during cycling, and Jahn-Teller effect greatly limit its application in the power field.
[0003] Although the performance defects of lithium manganate can be compensated by blending spinel lithium manganate with lithium-rich manganese-based materials, the cost of lithium-rich manganese-based materials is relatively high, and there are phenomena of oxygen release and transformation from a layered structure to a spinel structure and then to a rock salt structure during cycling, resulting in poor structural stability and cycling performance of the blended cathode material.

The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific implementation manners or embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0057] The present invention provides a composite cathode material, including a lithium manganate material and a lithium-rich and sodium-rich manganese-based material, and the median particle size of the lithium manganate material is greater than that of the lithium-rich and sodium-rich manganese-based material.

[0190] Physicochemical characterization was performed on the materials prepared in the above examples and comparative examples.
[0191] (1) Particle size: The particle size of the sample was measured using a laser particle size analyzer (Malvern, Master Sizer 2000). Specifically, a certain mass of the sample was added to a 50 mL beaker (the feeding amount was based on meeting the obscuration requirement), followed by the addition of sodium hexametaphosphate, and then approximately 20 mL of ultrapure water was added. The power was set to 120 W, the frequency was 53 Hz, and ultrasonic treatment was carried out for 5 minutes. After the ultrasonic treatment was completed, the particle size was measured using a MasterSizer 2000 particle size tester. The obscuration requirement was within the range of 8% - 12%, and the particle size test results were recorded.
[0192] (2) Specific surface area (BET): 5 g of the sample was taken and placed in a long tube with a bulb. First, vacuum treatment was carried out at 200 °C for 2 h, and then N 2 was introduced for gas adsorption.

Specifically, the sample was loaded into a mold with a cylinder height of 28 mm and a cylinder diameter of 9 mm, and held under a pressure of 3.5 T for a certain period of time, the pressure was reduced and then held for another period of time, and finally the apparent density was obtained based on the powder thickness.
[0194] The test results of the lithium manganate material, lithium-rich and sodium-rich manganese-based material, lithium iron phosphate manganese material prepared in the examples and the materials prepared in the comparative examples are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, and the calculation results are shown in Table 3.

[0201] The test results of the positive electrode materials prepared in the above examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 4.
[0202] Table 4
[0203]
[0204] The positive electrode materials obtained from the above examples and comparative examples were characterized for their half-cell rate performance at room temperature (25 °C): Using N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as the solvent, the positive electrode material was mixed with a conductive agent (SP) and a binder (PVDF) in a ratio of 94.5 wt%: 3 wt%: 2.5 wt%, and the mixture was stirred at 2000 r / min for 9 min to obtain a positive electrode active paste; The paste was evenly coated on aluminum foil using an automatic coater, vacuum dried at 110 °C for 30 min, punched into a pole piece with a diameter of 15 mm, and vacuum dried at 120 °C for 12 h. Then, a 1 mol / L LiPF 6 solution (solvent volume ratio EC: DMC: DEC = 1:1:1) was used as the electrolyte, a metallic lithium sheet was used as the negative electrode, and a CR2430 type button cell was assembled. The test voltage was 3.00 V - 4.35 V, the cut-off current was 0.05 C, charged and discharged at 0.1 C for 2 cycles (activation), charged and discharged at 0.33 C for 1 cycle, charged and discharged at 1 C for 1 cycle, charged at 1 C and discharged at 2 C for 1 cycle, charged at 1 C and discharged at 3 C for 1 cycle. The test results are shown in Table 5.
[0205] Table 5
[0206]
[0207] The positive electrode materials obtained from the above examples and comparative examples were characterized for their soft-pack full-cell performance at high temperature (45 °C): Using N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as the solvent, the positive electrode material was mixed with a conductive agent (SP) and a binder (PVDF) in a ratio of 94.5 wt%: 3 wt%: 2.5 wt%, and the mixture was stirred at 1500 r / min for 15 min to obtain a positive electrode active paste; The paste was evenly coated on aluminum foil using an automatic coater, and the areal density was 19 mg / cm 2 Then, a 1 mol / L LiPF 6 solution (solvent volume ratio EC: DMC: DEC = 1:1:1) was used as the electrolyte, graphite was used as the negative electrode, and the NP ratio was 1.12. A soft-pack full cell with a nominal capacity of 500 mAh was assembled, and the high-temperature cycle retention rate (charged and discharged at 1 C for 100 cycles at 45 °C) was tested. The test voltage was 2.95 V - 4.30 V, and the cut-off current was 0.05 C. The test results are shown in Table 6.
[0208] Table 6
[0209]
[0210] As can be seen from Table 4, Table 5 and Table 6, the compaction of the blended lithium manganate and lithium-rich and sodium-rich manganese-based cathode materials is significantly improved compared to that of a single cathode material, and it can better balance cycling and rate performance. When lithium iron manganese phosphate is added for blending, the compaction and capacity are further improved compared to the binary blending system, and the cycling performance can be made better without affecting the rate performance, showing great application prospects.
[0211] However, in the present invention, when the ratio deviates from the defined range, the compaction and electrical properties cannot be improved simultaneously or cannot be significantly improved. For example, for Comparative Example 3, although the compaction is as high as 3.03 g / cm 3 , the capacity is not improved, and the rate and cycling performance are poor; for Comparative Example 4, the capacity and cycling performance are relatively ideal, but the rate performance is poor and the compaction is low (the same situation applies to Comparative Example 6); for Comparative Example 5, the rate performance is good, but the compaction is extremely low, and the capacity and cycling performance are also poor. Examples are not given one by one here. In summary, in order to obtain a composite cathode material with excellent comprehensive performance, it is necessary to blend according to the ratio provided by the present invention.
[0212] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.
[0213] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention patent should be subject to the appended claims.
