Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular to an organic lithium supplement agent, a preparation method thereof, and application thereof in positive electrode materials. Background Art

[0002] In today's rapid development of the energy sector, lithium-ion batteries have become an indispensable key component due to their excellent performance and are widely used in many important fields such as electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and large-scale energy storage. However, as the performance requirements for lithium-ion batteries continue to rise, problems such as capacity decay and limited cycle life have gradually become prominent, becoming a bottleneck that needs to be broken through.

[0003] In order to overcome these difficulties, pre-lithiation technology came into being, mainly including two methods: negative electrode lithium replenishment and positive electrode lithium replenishment. There are many means for negative electrode lithium replenishment, such as physical lithium replenishment (lithium powder, lithium metal), chemical lithium replenishment (n-butyl lithium) and electrochemical lithium replenishment (in situ electrochemical lithium replenishment and non-in situ electrochemical lithium replenishment). However, these methods have many serious problems, such as the high chemical activity of lithium powder and lithium metal, which brings great safety risks, the strong toxicity of n-butyl lithium is detrimental to the environment and human health, and the complex operation and high cost of electrochemical lithium replenishment, which limit their wide application. In contrast, positive electrode lithium replenishment shows certain advantages. Usually, a small amount of positive electrode lithium replenisher is added during the homogenization process of the positive electrode sheet preparation. During charging, lithium ions are released from the high-capacity material to replenish the irreversible capacity loss of the first charge and discharge.

[0004] At present, common positive electrode lithium replenishment methods include lithium-rich compounds (such as Li2NiO2, Li5FeO4), binary lithium compounds (such as Li3N, Li2O2 and Li2O), etc. However, these methods all have their own defects. Lithium-rich compounds, such as Li2NiO2, are easy to decompose and have poor air stability. Although Li5FeO4 has a high theoretical specific capacity, it has solid residues after lithium replenishment, which reduces the battery energy density. Although binary lithium compounds have good lithium replenishment effects, they have gas production problems, resulting in capacity attenuation and safety hazards, and the partial delithiation potential is high, which causes serious decomposition of the electrolyte.

[0005] In this context, organic lithium supplements have gradually attracted attention. Organic lithium supplements have unique advantages. Their molecular structure has high adjustability, and the lithium supplement performance can be precisely controlled by designing functional groups and chemical bonds. For example, organic lithium supplements with specific structures can release lithium ions under relatively mild conditions, reducing the risks brought by violent reactions. In terms of cost, the raw materials of organic lithium supplements are relatively easy to obtain, and the synthesis process is relatively simple, which helps to reduce production costs. Moreover, organic lithium supplements have good compatibility with existing battery manufacturing processes and can be better integrated into positive electrode materials and electrolytes to improve the overall performance and stability of the battery. However, organic lithium supplements still need to be improved in terms of specific capacity, conductivity, chemical stability, etc., which requires further research and optimization.

[0006] CN109616629A discloses an organic lithium supplement. In the examples, only the lithium supplement containing a nitro group was studied, and the initial charge and discharge efficiency of the battery was tested. The specific capacity of the organic lithium supplement and the improvement of the battery performance were not mentioned.

[0007] Although organic lithium supplements currently have some shortcomings, they are expected to become an important development direction in the future lithium-ion battery field due to their unique advantages and potential. Through continuous research and innovation to solve the current problems, organic lithium supplements are expected to bring new breakthroughs in improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries and promote the further development of lithium-ion battery technology. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to solve at least one of the following technical problems existing in the existing organic lithium supplement:

[0009] (1) The specific capacity is generally not high, less than 400 mAh / g;

[0010] (2) Poor air stability, easy to decompose in air;

[0011] (3) Continuous gas generation during use can easily cause battery safety hazards;

[0012] (4) The delithiation potential is high. For example, the delithiation voltage of the conventional organic lithium supplement lithium oxalate is 4.7 V.

[0013] (5) When used in batteries, the battery's cycle performance and capacity density are insufficient.

[0014] To this end, the present application provides an organic lithium supplement agent, whose specific capacity is higher than 450 mAh / g and whose lithium desorption voltage is lower than 4.7 V. Specifically, the organic lithium supplement agent provided by the present application has the following structure:

[0015] Wherein, R1 is selected from -COOLi, -O-COOLi, -NH-COOLi, -C≡C-Li, and R2 is selected from H, halogen, C 1~3 Alkyl, C 1~3 Alkoxy, n is 3 or 4, m+n=5.

[0016] Preferably, R1 is selected from -COOLi, -O-COOLi, and -NH-COOLi.

[0017] Compared with -C≡C-Li, -COOLi, -O-COOLi and -NH-COOLi are all groups with strong electron donation. Due to their electron donation effect, the electron cloud density on the benzene ring will increase, and then the electron cloud density on the hydroxy lithium (-OLi) will also increase, the binding force between lithium ions and oxygen atoms will be weakened, and the delithiation potential will be reduced. However, the electron donation ability of the three is different, which is related to the strength of the electron donation conjugation effect of the group. On the other hand,

[0018] The introduction of O or N atoms in -O-COOLi and -NH-COOLi not only increases the relative molecular mass, but also increases the steric hindrance of the molecular structure. In the process of lithium insertion and extraction, the larger steric hindrance will hinder the diffusion and migration of lithium ions, so that lithium ions need to overcome a larger energy barrier to be extracted from the lithium supplement. Therefore, R1 is preferably -COOLi.

[0019] Preferably, n=3. Too much hydroxy lithium on the benzene ring will lead to serious steric hindrance. Each hydroxy lithium group occupies a certain space, and they form a crowded structure around the benzene ring. In the process of lithium ion deintercalation, this steric hindrance will hinder the diffusion channel of lithium ions, making it difficult for lithium ions to diffuse from the inside of the material to the surface, or from the surface to the electrolyte. In addition, too much hydroxy lithium will increase the intermolecular force, and the crystallinity of the material may increase, causing the diffusion path of lithium ions in the material to become longer and more tortuous, increasing the resistance to lithium ion diffusion, which is not conducive to the rapid deintercalation of lithium ions during the charge and discharge process, thereby reducing the rate performance of the battery and the actual available delithiation capacity.

[0020] Preferably, R2 is selected from H, halogen, C 1~3 Alkyl, C 1~3 Alkoxy.

[0021] Compared with halogens, alkyl and alkoxy groups are electron-donating groups. They will increase the electron cloud density on the benzene ring, and then the electron cloud density of the lithium hydroxyl connected to the benzene ring will also increase relatively. After the electron cloud density increases, the binding force between lithium ions and oxygen atoms will weaken. During the delithiation process, lithium ions are more likely to be removed from lithium hydroxyl, thereby reducing the delithiation potential. The halogen atoms have a large electronegativity and have an electron-withdrawing inductive effect, which will reduce the electron cloud density on the benzene ring.

[0022] Furthermore, if the vacancy on the benzene ring is replaced, the substituent will occupy a certain space on the benzene ring, which will have a certain hindering effect on the diffusion of lithium ions, making it impossible for lithium ions to be completely removed, which will reduce the lithium removal capacity and increase the lithium removal voltage. Secondly, after the vacancy on the benzene ring is replaced, the relative molecular mass of the structure increases, and even if the lithium ions are completely deintercalated, its specific capacity will be reduced relative to that without substitution. Therefore, R2 is preferably H.

[0023] Preferably, m is 2. When m=2 and n=3, steric hindrance caused by excessive amount of lithium hydroxylate can be avoided.

[0024] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the organic lithium supplement has at least one of the following structures:

[0025]

[0027] In a second aspect, the organic lithium supplement agent can be prepared by the following method, the specific steps comprising:

[0035] In a third aspect, the present application provides an application of the above-mentioned organic lithium supplement agent in a positive electrode material of a lithium battery.

[0036] When the organic lithium supplement agent of the present application is used in the positive electrode material, due to its high specific capacity and low delithiation voltage, the energy density of the lithium battery can be increased by up to 5 mAh / g. In addition, the product after delithiation can be dissolved in the electrolyte and will not affect the positive electrode active material. The irreversible delithiation degree is high, and the gas produced can be discharged once during the formation process, and there will be no continuous gas production to cause battery safety problems.

Compared with the organic lithium supplement in the prior art, the specific capacity and lithium desorption voltage performance are improved; and the organic lithium supplement provided by the present application has good stability and no secondary gas production, while in the comparative example, the carboxyl group is easily oxidized, so the stability is poor, and the amine group and the thiol group are also unstable.

After constant current charging at a charging current of 1C to a voltage of 3.65V, the charging cut-off current is 0.05C at a constant voltage of 3.65V. After standing for 15 minutes, it is discharged at a constant current of 1C to 2.0V. The discharge capacity of the first cycle is recorded as C2. In the cycle performance test, the discharge capacity of the first cycle is recorded as C1. The capacity density improvement ΔV = C1-C2.
