Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and in particular relates to a lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium iron manganese phosphate has the advantages of high operating voltage and high energy density due to the introduction of manganese, which has attracted widespread attention and industrial interest. In order to further improve the energy density of lithium iron manganese phosphate materials, it is necessary to develop lithium iron manganese phosphate material technologies and products with high compaction density and high specific capacity. In order to achieve high energy density lithium iron manganese phosphate, various methods have been developed to regulate the growth of lithium iron manganese phosphate particles to achieve high compaction density and electrochemical performance.

[0003] The conventional way to control the growth of lithium iron manganese phosphate particles is carbon coating, which is used to inhibit the growth of particles during high-temperature sintering. However, excessive carbon content sacrifices the capacity of the material and reduces the compaction density of the material. In order to effectively and better achieve high compaction density and electrochemical performance, the industry has developed an optimization method. Tianjin Scholland Technology Co., Ltd. disclosed a method for preparing high compaction density lithium iron manganese phosphate materials in patent CN113072049 A, which adds a manganese source, an iron source, a dispersant and deionized water to a sealable container, passes a protective gas, adds diluted phosphoric acid to a sealed container, uniformly nucleates, washes, dries, and sinters for the first time at high temperature to form spherical particles, and then adds lithium hydroxide and glucose, and performs high-temperature second sintering and high-temperature third sintering respectively to obtain nano-spherical lithium iron manganese phosphate / carbon materials, which greatly improves the electrochemical performance and compaction density of the material. Nantong Jintong Energy Storage Power New Materials Co., Ltd. proposed in patent CN115744861A to use ammonium manganese iron phosphate precursor to prepare high compaction density lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, in which the precursor index parameters are strictly required: particle size D50 is 5-20 um, Span>1.2; 0.5 g / cm 3 <TD<2.0 g / cm 3 , 0.5m 2 / g<SSA<3.0 m 2 / g; crystallinity is I(121) / I (010)>0.3, FWHM(010)<0.25, FWHM(121)<0.25.

[0034] The lithium manganese iron phosphate materials prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to button cell capacity test and powder compaction density test. The test results are shown in Table 1, where: (1) Button battery test The button cell battery test is carried out in accordance with the national standard "Nano lithium iron phosphate GB / T 33822-2017", as follows: Preparation of positive electrode sheets: The prepared lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, carbon black (SP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and nitrogen methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) are mixed in a mass ratio of 90:5:5:40, and the positive electrode slurry is obtained after high-speed mixing for 30 minutes. The slurry is evenly coated on the aluminum foil with a scraper, placed in a forced air drying oven, and dried at 120°C for 20 minutes. The dried electrode sheet is then rolled and cut to prepare the positive electrode sheet.

[0035] Button cell assembly: The above-mentioned positive electrode sheet, separator, lithium sheet negative electrode, and 1 mol / L LiPF6 electrolyte (the solvent is dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and ethylene carbonate (EC) in a mass ratio of 1:1:1) are used to assemble a 2032 button cell.

[0036] Button battery test: voltage 2.0-4.2 V, charging mode is cross-current-constant voltage mode, cross-current charging current is 0.1C, constant voltage cut-off current is 0.05C, discharge current is 0.1C, 1C.

[0037] (2) Powder compaction density The lithium manganese iron phosphate material samples prepared in Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were placed in a mold. During the compression process of external force, as the powder moved and deformed, larger gaps were filled, the contact area between particles increased, and an embryo with a reduced volume was formed. The size of the embryo was measured and the compaction density was calculated. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0038] Table 1

[0039] According to Table 1, we can see that: The lithium iron manganese phosphate materials in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 have the same chemical composition: LiMn 0.6 Fe0 .4 PO4 / C, Examples 1 to 9 are prepared by the method of the present invention. Compared with the lithium manganese iron phosphate material prepared from lithium titanium phosphate without adding oxygen defects in Comparative Examples 1 to 2, it has the advantages of high compaction density, high gram capacity, and high capacity retention rate under rate, and can achieve higher compaction density and gram capacity.

[0040] Further comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1 and 2 revealed that after adding oxygen-deficient lithium titanium phosphate to prepare lithium manganese iron phosphate, the gram capacity of 0.1C and 1C was significantly improved; at a sintering temperature of 730°C for Comparative Example 1, due to the lack of effective inhibition, the lithium manganese iron phosphate particles grew up, and the compaction density was as high as 2.50 g / cm 3 , but the gram capacity is low, and the 0.1C discharge capacity is only 145.7 mAh / g, which cannot achieve a balance between compaction density and gram capacity. In order to compare at the same compaction density level, Comparative Example 2 reduces the sintering temperature to 710 ° C, and the compaction density is at the same level as Example 1, but the gram capacity is still poor, and the 0.1C discharge capacity is only 148.7 mAh / g, which is much lower than 154.1 mAh / g in Example 1, indicating that oxygen-deficient lithium titanium phosphate has better effects in inhibiting particle growth, balancing compaction density and electrochemical performance.

[0041] Further comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 revealed that the 0.1C gram capacity of the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material prepared by adding a stoichiometric ratio of lithium titanium phosphate in Comparative Example 3 was slightly lower than that of Example 1, and the 1C gram capacity was significantly lower than that of Example 1 (141.1 mAh / g vs 146.7 mAh / g). The lower capacity retention rate indicates that the oxygen-deficient lithium titanium phosphate can better improve the rate performance of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material due to its higher lithium ion conductivity.

[0042] Further comparison of Examples 2-4 with Example 1 revealed that the lithium manganese iron phosphate prepared by adding different amounts of oxygen-deficient lithium titanium phosphate can achieve the effects of high compaction density, high gram capacity, and high rate performance.

[0043] Further comparison of Examples 5-9 with Example 1 revealed that the use of different raw materials to prepare oxygen-deficient lithium titanium phosphate, and on this basis to prepare oxygen-deficient lithium titanium phosphate-lithium iron manganese phosphate material, had comparable effects, demonstrating that the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material method implemented in the present application has good universality in terms of raw materials.

[0044] Further analysis of Examples 10-11 revealed that with the increase of manganese content, when the molar content of manganese element was greater than 0.6, the oxygen-deficient lithium titanium phosphate-lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material prepared by the method of the present invention had a higher compaction density and better gram capacity utilization, and achieved better results, further proving the universality of the method of the present invention for lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode materials.

[0045] The applicant declares that the present invention is explained by the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above embodiments to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvement of the present invention, equivalent replacement of various raw materials of the product of the present invention, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
