Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery cathode material preparation technology, and in particular to a lithium-rich manganese-based material with high ion channels and a highly stable surface, its preparation method, and a lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] Layered lithium-rich manganese cathodes, with their high specific capacity, low cost, and high safety, have become a key research focus for next-generation cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries. Their high manganese, low nickel, and cobalt-free elemental composition effectively circumvents the constraints of nickel and cobalt resources, aligning with my country's resource advantages of being rich in manganese but poor in nickel. However, their commercialization is hampered by low initial coulombic efficiency, poor rate performance, and limited cycle life.

[0003] Studies have found that lithium-rich manganese-based materials undergo a transformation of their surface structure into a spinel phase after long-term charge-discharge cycles, accompanied by a change in the valence of some manganese from Mn... 4+ Reduced to Mn 3+ The latter exhibits the Ginger-Taylor effect and is prone to disproportionation reactions to form Mn. 2+ Dissolving in the electrolyte causes particle surface pulverization, creating new surfaces and continuing to dissolve, ultimately leading to severe particle decomposition and electrochemical performance degradation. Constructing a stable surface layer is crucial for improving material structural stability, effectively preventing structural phase transitions and oxygen evolution, and enhancing the electrode / electrolyte interface stability. Surface coating can effectively improve the stability of the material's surface structure: fast ion conductor coatings (such as lithium phosphate and lithium sulfate) provide stable lithium-ion transport channels, improving the material's rate performance; inert oxide coatings (such as Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂) isolate the electrolyte from direct contact with the material, preventing corrosion from harmful substances like HF.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN115132998A discloses a lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material with surface structure reorganization, whose surface modification layer is a 10-30 nm Li4Mn5O 12The surface layer possesses three-dimensional fast lithium-ion transport channels and oxygen vacancies, significantly improving initial coulombic efficiency and rate performance. However, the hydrothermal process used is relatively expensive. Chinese patent CN118545770A discloses a layered lithium-rich manganese cathode material coated with polydopamine, which significantly improves the discharge specific capacity of the battery at high temperatures and suppresses capacity decay at high temperatures, exhibiting excellent high-temperature performance. However, the polydopamine layer may hinder lithium-ion transport, thus affecting rate performance. A single type of coating layer generally cannot achieve all performance characteristics simultaneously; multifunctional coating layers must be designed and constructed. For example, Chinese patent CN 109659538A discloses a lithium-rich manganese-based oxide material coated with dopamine and lithium phosphate, exhibiting high discharge specific capacity and excellent rate performance. However, modified materials obtained by traditional coating methods have weak interfacial contact between the coating layer and the substrate material, which may peel off after long-term cycling, thus affecting cycle life. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above problems, this invention provides a lithium-rich manganese-based material with efficient ion channels and a stable surface layer. The outermost layer is a composite layer of polydopamine and fast ion conductors. The fast ion conductors are distributed in a dotted pattern within the dense dopamine coating layer. Dopamine can alleviate the volume expansion of the lithium-rich manganese-based material during lithium-ion insertion / extraction and improve structural stability. The dotted fast ion conductors can provide lithium-ion transport channels and improve the rate performance of the material. The next outermost layer is an in-situ formed spinel Li4Mn5O. 12 Layer, Li4Mn5O 12 It is a "zero-strain" material with three-dimensional lithium-ion channels, which improves lithium transport efficiency while mitigating volume expansion and contraction, simultaneously enhancing cycle stability and rate performance. Simultaneously, in-situ formed Li4Mn5O... 12 The layer exhibits good lattice matching with the substrate material, and as a transition layer between the substrate and dopamine, it can prevent coating delamination that may occur during long-term cycling. Furthermore, compared to traditional low-manganese (Mn) materials… 3+ The different valence states of spinel induce different Jamin-Taylor effects, Li4Mn5O 12 The Mn in the solution has a +4 valence, which can significantly mitigate the Jameer-Taylor effect and disproportionation reaction, and reduce Mn levels during material recycling. 2+ The formation and dissolution of [something].

[0006] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a lithium-rich manganese-based material with high ion channels and a highly stable surface.

[0007] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the lithium-rich manganese-based material with high ion channels and a highly stable surface.

[0008] A third objective of this invention is to provide a lithium-ion battery comprising the lithium-rich manganese-based material having high ion channels and a highly stable surface.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0010] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a lithium-rich manganese-based material with high ion channels and a highly stable surface, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, from the inside out, it consists of a bulk phase, a sub-surface layer, and a surface layer. The bulk phase is a layered lithium-rich manganese-based material, and the sub-surface layer is a spinel-structured Li4Mn5O. 12 The surface layer is a composite layer of polydopamine and fast ion conductor.

[0011] In some embodiments, the general chemical formula of the lithium-rich manganese-based material is xLi2MnO3·(1-x)LiMO2, where 0.1≤x≤0.9, and M is one or more of Ni, Co, Mn, Cr, Fe, Ti, Mo, Ru, V, Nb, Zr, and Sn;

[0012] In some embodiments, the fast ion conductor is at least one of lithium sulfate, lithium phosphate, lithium pyrophosphate, lithium niobate, lithium vanadate, lithium silicate, and lithium aluminate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the thickness of the sublayer is 1-5 nm, preferably 2-3 nm, and the thickness of the surface layer is 5-20 nm, preferably 5-6 nm.

[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing lithium-rich manganese-based materials with high ion channels and high surface stability, comprising the following steps:

[0015] (1) Dissolve lithium-rich manganese-based materials, dopamine and coating raw materials in tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer solution and adjust the pH of the system to 8±1.

[0016] (2) Stir the mixture obtained in step (1), then filter, wash and dry to obtain a solid.

[0017] (3) The solid obtained in step (2) is placed in a furnace and heat-treated by introducing an oxygen-containing atmosphere. After cooling, a lithium-rich manganese-based material with high ion channels and a highly stable surface is obtained.

[0018] Step (1):

[0019] The amount (mass) of dopamine added in step (1) is 0-10% of the mass of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, and is not 0.

[0020] The coating material in step (1) is at least one of the following: ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, diamine hydrogen phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium phosphate, potassium niobate, sodium niobate, potassium pyrophosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, potassium vanadate, sodium vanadate, potassium silicate, sodium silicate, potassium aluminate, and sodium aluminate.

[0021] The amount of coating material added in step (1) (calculated in terms of the molar amount of anions) is 0-200% of the molar amount of lithium-rich manganese-based material, and is not 0;

[0022] Step (2):

[0023] The stirring time in step (2) is 1-5 hours.

[0024] Step (3):

[0025] The oxygen-containing atmosphere in step (3) is air or oxygen, the heat treatment temperature is 150-450℃, and the heat treatment time is 0.5-5 hours.

[0026] When dopamine is added and the sintering temperature is increased (or an inert atmosphere is used), the reducing environment created by dopamine carbonization reduces the metal elements on the surface of lithium-rich manganese-based materials, leading to a decrease in the manganese valence state in the formed spinel, thus forming LiMn2O4 (Mn valence is +3.5). However, in this invention, low-temperature air sintering is used, resulting in the formation of Li4Mn5O4. 12 (Mn oxidation state is +4) is a necessary condition for spinel. From the perspective of crystal structure and JT effect, the latter has stronger structural stability.

[0027] This invention provides a one-step method for obtaining Li4Mn5O based on the in-situ polymerization of dopamine. 12 A composite coating layer on the surface of spinel and fast plasma.

[0028] Thirdly, the present invention provides a lithium-ion battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode comprises the aforementioned lithium-rich manganese-based material having high ion channels and a highly stable surface.

[0029] Beneficial effects:

[0030] (1) The lithium-rich manganese-based material with efficient ion channels and a stable surface layer disclosed in this invention has excellent electrochemical performance, achieving a high-rate discharge of 15C and a capacity retention of up to 90% after 500 cycles. This is mainly due to the three-dimensional lithium transport channels and stable surface composite bonding, which enhance structural stability. The "zero-strain" material Li4Mn5O 12 The in-situ introduction of the structure not only provides a lithium-ion transport channel, but also acts as a transition layer between the matrix material and polydopamine, avoiding the peeling of the coating layer from the matrix material after long-term cycling, and significantly improving the cycle life of the material.

[0031] (2) The method used in this invention is simple and mild, requiring only low-temperature treatment at 150-450℃ in air atmosphere, resulting in low process cost and suitability for industrial mass production.

[0032] The present invention has been described in detail above; however, the above embodiments are merely illustrative in nature and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, this document is not limited to the foregoing prior art or the invention itself, or to any theory described in the following embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0069] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The images are high-resolution transmission electron microscope images of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, respectively. It can be seen that the surface and bulk interior of Comparative Example 1 have a layered structure, while Example 1 shows obvious polydopamine and spinel layers.

[0070] Figure 4 and Figure 5 XRD and Raman spectra of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are given. The XRD patterns show that Comparative Example 1 exhibits a typical layered structure, while Example 1 shows a spinel peak at a diffraction angle of 43.5°. Figure 5 The Raman spectrum in the image can also prove the existence of the spinel phase.

[0071] Figure 6The XRD patterns of Comparative Example 4 are shown. It can be seen that when the amount of ammonium sulfate added is increased to 15g, the peak appearing near 22.5° in the XRD pattern corresponds to the diffraction peak of Li2SO4. However, excessive addition of ammonium sulfate will affect its performance.

[0072] Figure 7 XPS-Mn-2p spectra of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are given.

In Comparative Example 3, under inert atmosphere sintering, dopamine was carbonized as a carbon source, leading to a reducing atmosphere on the material surface. This reduced the oxidation state of manganese in the structure, resulting in a higher proportion of Mn in the surface layer. 3+ This affects Li4Mn5O 12 (All are Mn) 4+ The formation of ) affects the rate capability and cycle performance of the material.
