Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery materials technology, and relates to a ternary precursor modified with bio-based carbon materials, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Advanced cathode materials with high specific capacity are urgently needed to meet the growing demand for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Among numerous cathode candidates, Ni-rich (NCM) layered oxides can provide high capacities exceeding 200 mAh / g with an average discharge potential of 3.8 V (vsLi+ / Li). However, in practical applications, Ni-rich oxide cathode materials must overcome the problems of poor cycle stability and poor rate performance. These defects are largely attributed to the dense aggregation of their spherical micron-sized secondary particles by numerous randomly oriented primary particles. On the one hand, accompanied by this structure, the surface of the secondary particles is terminated by random crystal planes. Due to the presence of Li... + In the layered structure of NCM materials, diffusion is limited to the two-dimensional {010} plane. Randomly exposed crystal planes may severely hinder Li+ exchange at the electrode / electrolyte interface. Simultaneously, due to Li... + Ions need to cross grain boundaries, especially between grains with inconsistent crystal planes. Therefore, randomly oriented primary nanoparticles form a long Li-type rift within the secondary particles. + Diffusion pathway. On the other hand, accompanied by Li + Repeated intercalation and deintercalation, along with continuous phase transitions, lead to anisotropic changes in lattice parameters, which are exacerbated by increasing Ni content. Therefore, in nickel-rich oxide cathode materials, due to asynchronous volume changes, significant anisotropic lattice expansion / contraction results in drastic micro-strain at the boundaries of randomly oriented primary particles. Consequently, cracks may propagate and extend along grain boundaries until secondary particles develop cracks, or even primary particles detach. This is one of the main reasons for the rapid degradation of nickel-rich NCM materials during long-term cycling.

[0003] Current technological improvements typically employ doping and coating techniques to enhance the electrochemical performance of cathode materials. Surface coatings are primarily used to suppress side reactions between the cathode and electrolyte, while lattice ion doping is generally used to limit phase transitions during charge and discharge processes and stabilize the crystal structure.

[0004] CN118610403A discloses a zirconium-fluorine co-doped NCM-type high-nickel ternary cathode material. Zirconium replaces the transition metal sites and forms zirconium lithium oxide on the surface, while fluorine replaces the oxygen sites. This enhances the stability of the material's crystal structure and improves lithium-ion diffusion and surface reaction kinetics, thereby improving both the rate performance and cycle stability of the battery material.

[0005] CN118676350A discloses a modified cathode material that, through co-doping with K and Si, suppresses particle cracking during cycling, enhances the structural stability of the modified cathode material, and improves its rate performance and cycle performance.

[0006] CN118630174A describes a process where a pre-sintered ternary cathode material matrix is ​​mixed with a coating material containing La and then sintered again to form a coating layer on the surface of the ternary cathode material matrix. Rare earth elements from the coating material are then incorporated into the ternary cathode material matrix to obtain a ternary cathode material. The ternary cathode material of this application exhibits high structural stability, conductivity, capacity, and cycle stability.

[0007] However, traditional surface coating and lattice ion doping modification techniques cannot effectively solve the problem of layered particles in nickel-rich NCM materials. Given the hexagonal layered NCM material's Li... + The high anisotropy of diffusion and lattice expansion / contraction makes morphology modulation an effective method to improve the rate performance and cycling stability of NCM materials. However, the synthesis of NCM materials with superior rate and cycling performance through structure and morphology control remains a significant challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ternary precursor modified with bio-based carbon materials, its preparation method, and its application. This invention prepares a precursor with high sphericity by adjusting the conditions of the coprecipitation reaction through a two-step coprecipitation method. During the coprecipitation process, adding appropriate dopant elements can stabilize the crystal structure and improve the interlayer spacing of metal ions. Then, biomass carbon materials are coated on the surface of the precursor to improve the cycle stability of the precursor while achieving the goals of green environmental protection and cost reduction.

When the particle size grew to 9.5 μm, the flow rates of nickel-cobalt-manganese mixed salt solution, ammonia, sodium hydroxide solution, and antimony trichloride solution were increased to 10 L / h, 1200 mL / L, 3 L / h, and 800 mL / h, respectively, to maintain a constant growth rate. The feeding reaction was stopped when the particle size reached 12 μm. The obtained qualified slurry was washed and dried. The washing was performed four times with water, and the drying was carried out at a low temperature of 120°C to finally form a doped and modified ternary precursor with high sphericity.

[0090] (3) The peanut shells were crushed and ground, and then sieved. The peanut shell powder was soaked and dissolved in a 20% hydrochloric acid solution at a temperature of 80°C for 100 min.

[0092] The cross-sectional SEM image of the bio-based carbon material modified ternary precursor is shown below.

The flow rates of ammonia solution, sodium hydroxide solution, and antimony trichloride solution were 1100 mL / L, 2.2 L / h, and 450 mL / h, respectively. When the particle size grew to 9 μm, the flow rates of nickel-cobalt-manganese mixed salt solution, ammonia solution, sodium hydroxide solution, and antimony trichloride solution were increased to 7.3 L / h, 1320 mL / L, 2.5 L / h, and 500 mL / h, respectively, to maintain a constant growth rate.

[0121] Example 3

[0122] The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that step (3) is omitted; all other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0123] Comparative Example 4

[0124] In this comparative example, peanut shells were replaced with carbon nanotubes. The preparation method is as follows: After activating the multi-walled carbon nanotubes, a suspension containing carbon nanotubes with a concentration of 5 g / L was obtained. The doped and modified high sphericity ternary precursor prepared in step (2) of Example 1 was added, stirred, and sonicated at 1.0 kW for 30 min. After filtration and washing with water five times, the precursor was dried in an oven at 100 ℃ to obtain the carbon nanotube-coated doped precursor.

[0125] Performance testing:

[0126] The ternary precursors prepared in the examples and comparative examples were mixed with lithium hydroxide at a ratio of Li:(Ni+Co+Mn)=1:1 and sintered at 500℃ for 5h and 750℃ for 20h to obtain a ternary cathode material. The ternary cathode material was used as the cathode active material and mixed with conductive carbon and PVDF at a ratio of 94:3:3. The mixture was then dispersed in methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent to obtain a cathode slurry, which was uniformly coated on aluminum foil. After coating, the current collector was perforated to obtain a coin-shaped electrode. After vacuum drying at 120℃ overnight, a cathode sheet was obtained. The anode was made of lithium metal. 1MLiPF6 was dissolved in EC and DMC solvent (volume ratio 3:7) as the electrolyte. The cathode, anode, and separator were wound to prepare a battery cell, which was then packaged, injected with electrolyte, formed, and capacity tested to assemble a lithium-ion battery.

[0127] The prepared lithium-ion battery was subjected to electrochemical performance testing at 0.1C, with a voltage of 3.0-4.4 V (vsLi / Li). + CR2032 coin-type half-cells were cycled between cycles. The initial discharge capacity and initial efficiency, as well as the discharge capacity at the 100th cycle, were measured to obtain the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0128] Table 1

[0129] Initial discharge capacity (mAh / g) First-time coulomb efficiency (%) Capacity retention rate (%) Example 1 218.2 95.4 91.5 Example 2 211.2 92.4 89.8 Example 3 209.7 91.8 89.6 Example 4 206.9 90.9 89.1 Example 5 203.4 89.6 87.2 Example 6 210.2 93.5 90.7 Example 7 208.4 92.9 90.4 Example 8 212.5 93.1 90.3 Example 9 210.7 93.4 91.0 Example 10 204.5 90.1 87.7 Comparative Example 1 198.3 87.5 86.1 Comparative Example 2 196.8 86.8 85.9 Comparative Example 3 201.6 88.7 86.8 Comparative Example 4 207.7 91.2 89.5

[0130] As can be seen from Table 1, as obtained from Examples 1-10, the lithium-ion battery made from the ternary precursor prepared by the method of the present invention can achieve an initial discharge capacity of over 203.4 mAh / g, an initial coulombic efficiency of over 89.6%, and a capacity retention rate of over 87.2% after 100 cycles.

[0131] Comparing Examples 1 and 4-5, it can be seen that during the preparation of the ternary precursor modified with bio-based carbon materials according to the present invention, the molar ratio between the dopant metal in the doped metal source solution and the nickel-cobalt-manganese in the nickel-cobalt-manganese mixed salt solution affects its performance. Controlling the molar ratio of the dopant metal to nickel-cobalt-manganese at (0.5-1.5):100 yields a ternary precursor modified with bio-based carbon materials with better performance. If the amount of dopant metal added is too large, more transition metal ion sites will be occupied, which will limit the discharge capacity of the material. At the same time, the lattice distortion effect will also deteriorate the electrochemical performance. If the amount of dopant metal added is too small, the improvement of the interlayer spacing of transition metal ions is limited, and it will not play a doping role.

[0132] A comparison of Examples 1 and 6-7 shows that during the preparation of the ternary precursor modified with bio-based carbon materials according to the present invention, the weight of the bio-carbon material affects its performance. Using peanut shells as bio-carbon materials significantly improves the performance of the ternary precursor.

[0133] A comparison of Examples 1 and 8-9 shows that during the preparation of the bio-based carbon material modified ternary precursor of the present invention, the mass ratio of the doped modified high sphericity ternary precursor to the bio-based carbon material affects its performance. Controlling the mass ratio of the doped modified high sphericity ternary precursor to the bio-based carbon material at (1-5):(50-100) yields a bio-based carbon material modified ternary precursor with better performance. If the amount of bio-based carbon material added is too large, the carbon protective layer formed on the material surface will be too thick, which is not conducive to the transport of lithium ions. At the same time, if the amount of bio-based carbon material added is too small, the protective effect of the carbon protective layer is limited, and the electrolyte can easily penetrate into the material during cycling, resulting in deterioration of cycling performance.

[0134] A comparison of Examples 1 and 10 shows that, in the second coprecipitation reaction of the present invention, for every 1-3 μm increase in the median particle size D50 in the system, the flow rates of the complexing agent, precipitant, ternary liquid, and doped metal salt solution are correspondingly increased to maintain a constant growth rate, thereby significantly improving the performance of the obtained ternary precursor.

[0135] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the present invention uses antimony as a dopant element. Antimony diffuses into the crystal lattice, replacing some transition metal elements and forming more stable chemical bonds with oxygen, thus stabilizing the crystal structure, suppressing Li-Ni mixing, and improving safety during electrochemical reactions. Simultaneously, it can improve the interlayer spacing of metal ions, shortening the lithium-ion transport distance and improving the rate performance of the material.

[0136] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the present invention can significantly improve the uniformity and consistency of precursor growth and improve the sphericity of the precursor by preparing ternary precursors through a two-step co-precipitation method.

[0137] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-4, the ternary precursor of the present invention can obtain ternary cathode materials that are no worse than those coated with carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes by using environmentally friendly biomass carbon materials as coating agents. It is not only green and environmentally friendly, but also significantly reduces costs.

[0138] The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
