Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, light weight, no memory effect, long cycle life, and no pollution. They have been widely used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and small cameras, as well as submarines, aviation, aerospace, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage. As a positive electrode material for lithium-ion batteries, lithium manganese iron phosphate has a discharge platform of up to 4.1V, and its theoretical energy density is 15% to 20% higher than that of lithium iron phosphate. Its olivine structure makes it less likely to collapse during the charge and discharge process, and its capacity retention rate can still be maintained at more than 75% in low temperature environments. It is considered to be the next generation of positive electrode materials that are expected to replace lithium iron phosphate and achieve commercial applications.

[0003] At present, the methods for preparing lithium iron manganese phosphate mainly include high-temperature solid-phase method, hydrothermal method and co-precipitation method. Among them, the high-temperature solid-phase method mostly uses iron source, manganese source, phosphorus source, lithium source and carbon source to mix, and synthesize lithium iron manganese phosphate through processes such as sand milling, spray drying and sintering; the high-temperature solid-phase method can make the raw materials fully react at high temperature and form a relatively pure lithium iron manganese phosphate powder, and the powder particles are evenly distributed, with less agglomeration. At the same time, the equipment requirements are low and the operation is simple. Compared with the hydrothermal method or co-precipitation method, it is more suitable for industrial production. However, this method cannot achieve uniform mixing of iron and manganese at the atomic level during the sand milling process, resulting in the prepared lithium iron manganese phosphate having poor constant voltage charging performance and rate discharge performance.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0005] The first purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing lithium iron manganese phosphate, which is mainly used to solve the problem that the conventional high-temperature solid-phase method in industrial mass applications cannot achieve uniform mixing of iron and manganese at the atomic level when preparing lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode materials, resulting in the prepared lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode materials not having excellent constant voltage charging performance and rate discharge performance.

[0006] The second object of the present invention is to provide a lithium manganese iron phosphate, which has excellent constant voltage charging performance and rate discharge performance when used as a positive electrode material for a lithium ion battery.

[0007] A third object of the present invention is to provide a lithium ion battery.

[0008] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide an electrical device.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are particularly adopted:

[0010] A method for preparing lithium manganese iron phosphate mainly comprises the following steps:

[0011] A solution containing an iron source, a manganese source and ammonium oxalate is prepared, and after adjusting the pH to acidic, the solution is subjected to a water bath reaction in a sealed state; after the reaction, aging, solid-liquid separation and drying are performed in sequence to obtain Fe 1-x Mn x C2O4·2H2O,0 <x<1;

[0012] Configuration includes Fe 1-x Mn x A mixed solution of C2O4·2H2O, a lithium source, a phosphorus source and a carbon source is sequentially subjected to wet ball milling, spray drying and calcination to obtain lithium manganese iron phosphate.

[0013] A lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material is prepared by adopting the preparation method of lithium iron manganese phosphate.

[0014] A lithium ion battery comprises the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material.

[0015] An electrical device comprises the lithium-ion battery.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) The present invention provides a preparation process of lithium iron manganese phosphate, wherein an acidic reaction solution is prepared with an iron source, a manganese source and ammonium oxalate, a dihydrated manganese iron oxalate coprecipitation precursor is obtained by adjusting pH, reacting in a sealed water bath and post-processing, and the precursor is used as a manganese iron source and mixed with a lithium source, a phosphorus source and a carbon source, and then a lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material is further prepared by a high-temperature solid phase method. The preparation process of the present invention is simple to operate, can be completed under normal pressure, has low cost, and is very suitable for large-scale industrial production; wherein the yield of dihydrated manganese iron oxalate is close to 100%, which can greatly avoid the waste of raw materials, and can achieve uniform mixing of iron and manganese at the atomic level, and prepare a lithium iron manganese phosphate positive electrode material with high electrochemical performance.

[0018] (2) In the process steps of preparing the dihydrate oxalate manganese iron precursor of the present invention, no external reducing agent is required. The reduction effect of the oxalate group in the precursor itself can make the reduction uniform and sufficient, and can achieve uniform mixing of iron and manganese at the atomic level. Furthermore, lithium manganese iron phosphate belongs to an olivine structure. Under the ideal atomic-level uniform mixing state, the iron and manganese atoms uniformly occupy the same lattice positions and form a stable skeleton structure with the phosphate group, and the lithium ions are distributed in the channels formed by this skeleton structure; this uniform mixing is very critical to the electrochemical properties of the material and greatly contributes to the improvement of the electrochemical properties of the material. For example, during the charge and discharge process, lithium ions can be smoothly embedded and removed in a uniform channel; if the atoms are unevenly distributed, it may cause inconsistent changes in the local structure, affect the diffusion kinetics of lithium ions, and thus reduce the electrochemical performance indicators such as battery capacity, rate performance and cycle life.
