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 precursor, its preparation method, cathode material, and battery. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage, and microdevices, there is a growing demand to further improve the energy density, power density, cycle life, and safety of existing secondary batteries, while reducing costs. Cathode materials are a key factor determining battery energy density, safety performance, and cost. Lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials, due to their unique electrochemical reaction mechanism, can release a much higher discharge specific capacity (greater than 250 mAh / g) than existing conventional cathode materials, and possess significant advantages such as high voltage, good thermal stability, and low raw material cost, making them a recent research hotspot and considered one of the most promising cathode materials for future high-energy-density lithium batteries. However, lithium-rich materials suffer from problems such as low lithium-ion diffusion coefficients, structural phase transitions caused by oxygen evolution during high-voltage cycling, and transition metal dissolution, leading to deteriorated cycle performance, especially at high temperatures. Furthermore, the discharge voltage decays rapidly with the phase transition; these are intrinsic problems that restrict their commercialization.

[0003] To overcome the above problems, existing technologies mainly employ elemental doping and surface coating to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-rich materials. Patent CN 112234176 A adds magnesium and fluorine to carbonate precursors to achieve doping, which can effectively improve the crystal stability of lithium-rich materials and suppress voltage decay. However, the carbonate precursor precipitation is incomplete, the decomposition rate is high during sintering, the material has a high specific surface area, and a low compaction density.

[0004] Meanwhile, the morphology and properties of the precursor are also key factors affecting the performance of lithium-rich materials. Currently, lithium-rich precursors are usually synthesized using the conventional hydroxide co-precipitation method. Due to the high manganese content, the primary particles of the precursor tend to form thick, large hexagonal plate-like morphologies. These large primary particle morphologies are difficult to lithilate during sintering. Moreover, since the sintered material inherits the morphology of the precursor, the primary particles of the sintered material are also very thick and large, resulting in a long lithium-ion diffusion path and unsatisfactory electrochemical performance such as capacity utilization and rate performance.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple and effective method to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-rich materials and to control the morphology of primary particles of lithium-rich precursors. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention simultaneously incorporates fluorine and phosphorus dopants during precursor synthesis, ensuring uniform dispersion within the precursor. Fluorine, with its high electronegativity and strong bonding with transition metals, effectively stabilizes the bulk and surface structure of the material, significantly improving cycle stability and voltage drop. Phosphorus forms Li3PO4 with lithium during the high-temperature lithiation sintering of the precursor, possessing a high lithium-ion diffusion coefficient and providing a rapid diffusion channel for lithium ions. This reduces the impedance of lithium-rich materials, enhancing their rate performance and electrochemical properties. Furthermore, the adsorption characteristics and synergistic inductive effects of fluorine and phosphorus induce the nucleation and growth of the precursor, synthesizing a precursor morphology with needle-like radial orientation. Due to the material's inheritance from the precursor, this morphology in lithium-rich materials facilitates lithium-ion migration from the interior to the exterior, while also reducing stress and enhancing structural stability during cycling.

[0007] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a lithium-rich manganese-based precursor.

[0008] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the doped lithium-rich manganese-based precursor.
