Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of dispersant materials, and in particular relates to a dispersant composition for dispersing a lithium iron phosphate precursor, a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and a secondary battery. Background Art

[0002] As a cathode material, olivine-type lithium iron phosphate has become one of the most promising cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to its advantages such as low price, safety, environmental protection, long cycle life and good thermal stability. The conductivity of lithium iron phosphate currently used in the market is poor, mainly due to two reasons: on the one hand, the particle size of lithium iron phosphate is too large; on the other hand, the particle size of lithium iron phosphate is uneven. The size and uniformity of the precursor particles of lithium iron phosphate directly affect the particle size and uniformity of the prepared lithium iron phosphate, and ultimately affect the electrochemical performance of the entire battery.

[0003] In the process of preparing lithium iron phosphate by carbothermal reduction, the preparation of precursor is an essential and important link. The precursor preparation process requires that the carbon source and lithium source are evenly distributed around the iron source. Uneven mixing of precursors directly reduces the purity of lithium iron phosphate. Therefore, the uniformity and dispersion performance of the precursor raw material mixing directly affect the electrochemical performance of lithium iron phosphate.

[0004] The mixing and dispersion process of lithium iron phosphate precursor is one of the important links in the production of lithium batteries. The quality of its dispersion and uniformity directly affects the electrochemical performance of the sintered material. At the same time, the electrode active materials in the slurry are prone to form secondary agglomerates, which causes serious agglomeration of lithium battery slurry and affects the subsequent sintering quality. In order to avoid the above situation, a large amount of solvent is needed to disperse the precursor material, resulting in a continuous increase in material costs, equipment investment and energy consumption.

[0005] Therefore, in the art, there is an urgent need to develop a dispersant for dispersing lithium iron phosphate precursors, so as to improve the dispersion performance and mixing uniformity of the lithium iron phosphate precursors, thereby improving the dispersion uniformity of the slurry and the sintering quality of lithium iron phosphate. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a dispersant composition for dispersing a lithium iron phosphate precursor, a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and a secondary battery. The dispersant composition provided by the present invention can not only significantly increase the solid content of the lithium iron phosphate precursor, but also reduce the amount of water consumed in the preparation process of lithium iron phosphate.

[0007] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dispersant composition for dispersing a lithium iron phosphate precursor, the dispersant composition comprising a first dispersant and a second dispersant;

[0009] The first dispersant is selected from any one or a combination of at least two of lignin sulfonate, alkyl aryl sulfonate, phenolic condensate sulfonate, succinate ester sulfonate, fatty alcohol sulfate, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, organic ammonium salt, polyoxyethylene ether, cross-linked modified polyoxyethylene, phosphate and its derivatives, alkoxy polyethylene glycol silane, polyhydroxy alcohol or fructose syrup;

[0010] The second dispersant is selected from any one or a combination of at least two of polyoxyalkylene ethers and their derivatives, polyether-modified polysiloxanes, unsaturated carboxylates and their derivatives, quaternary ammonium salts, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfonate esters, polyethylene glycol and its derivatives, or polyaminoamides.

[0011] The present invention aims at solving the technical problems in the prior art that the lithium iron phosphate precursor has poor dispersibility and the prepared slurry is prone to agglomeration. The present invention provides a dispersant for increasing the solid content of the lithium iron phosphate precursor, and can also reduce the amount of water consumed in the preparation process of the lithium iron phosphate, thereby ensuring the mixing uniformity of the precursor, and further preparing a lithium iron phosphate product with superior performance.

[0012] Among them, the first dispersant contains a hydrophobic backbone and a hydrophilic long chain. The adsorption of the dispersant on the surface of the precursor effectively promotes the dispersion of the agglomerated structure in the precursor slurry and enhances the electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance between the particles. The hydrophobic backbone is closer to the precursor side due to the electrostatic attraction of the negative charge, while the hydrophilic long side chain stretches in the solution to form a hydrated film on the surface.

[0013] The second dispersant is an oil phase, which has a low surface tension and can continuously diffuse and penetrate into the surface of the precursor liquid film. The surface tension between the oil phase and the water phase is very different. Under the continuous traction of the water phase, the oil phase is stretched and thinned to a certain range, which can prevent the gas phase from penetrating, eliminate gas phase interference, and improve the dispersion effect.

[0083] Application Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Application Examples 1 to 3

[0084] The dispersant compositions provided in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 are used to prepare lithium iron phosphate, and the preparation method is as follows:

[0085] The prepared dispersant is added to a mixture of iron phosphate, lithium carbonate and glucose in a certain proportion (doping amount is 0.5%), and an appropriate amount of water (solid content is 75%) is added, and stirred evenly in a ball mill for 5 hours to obtain a lithium iron phosphate precursor. The precursor is then dried, sintered and ground to obtain a lithium iron phosphate product.

[0086] Comparative Application Example 3

[0088] Test conditions

[0089] The lithium iron phosphate provided by Application Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Application Examples 1 to 3 was tested, and the test method was as follows:

[0090] Using lithium iron phosphate material as the positive electrode active material and lithium sheet as the negative electrode, a double-electrode experimental battery was assembled and a constant current charge and discharge cycle test was carried out at room temperature using a battery tester. The charge and discharge voltage was 2.0-4.0V and the charge and discharge rate was 0.2C.
