Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the preparation of cathode materials for batteries, and particularly relates to a lithium-deficient high-capacity manganese-based cathode material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy technologies, the consumption of lithium resources has also increased sharply, resulting in the price of lithium salts soaring to 600,000 yuan / ton in 2023, which has severely restricted the healthy and sustainable development of the lithium battery industry. Although the lithium price has recently rebounded, it is still very high, resulting in a high proportion of lithium costs in the raw material costs. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the lithium utilization rate.
[0003] Among the commonly used cathode materials, the atomic ratio of Li in the molecular formula is above 1, such as layered cathode materials like LiCoO2, LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O2, LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2, etc. In order to obtain a cathode material with high capacity, researchers have continued to increase the content of lithium components in the molecular formula. For example, the lithium content in the molecular formula of high-capacity lithium-rich cathode materials is even as high as 1.2, such as Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Co 0.13 Ni 0.13 O2, etc. Thus, it can be seen that the industry usually improves the specific capacity of the cathode material by increasing the lithium content. The least lithium content is in spinel LiMn2O4 (which can also be written as Li 0.5 MnO2), which only accounts for 0.5 atoms. However, the specific capacity of spinel cathode materials is only about 145 mAh / g, the actual reversible specific capacity is only in the range of 120 - 135 mAh / g, and the specific energy density is only about 450 mAh / g. How to obtain a cathode material with higher specific capacity using less lithium is an important development direction.
[0004] From the perspective of the crystal structure of the material, among many cathode materials, the layered oxide structure is one of the materials with the best lithium storage capacity, such as high-nickel and lithium-rich materials belonging to this type of layered oxide. However, in high-manganese compounds, when the lithium content is low (x < 1) in the low-lithium state, the crystal structure changes to a spinel structure with even less lithium content or even a rock salt structure, reducing the specific capacity of the material. Therefore, if a lithium-deficient high-capacity manganese-based cathode material is to be realized, significant improvements and innovations are required in component design and synthesis methods to achieve a cost-effective material. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention develops a high-capacity and low-lithium manganese-based lithium-ion battery cathode material through component design.

[0013] Preferably, the corresponding space group of the ternary layered phase is R3m, the corresponding space group of the sodium-containing P2 phase is P63 / mmc, and the corresponding space group of the LiMn6 phase is C / 2m.
[0014] The lithium-ion cathode material of the present invention has the characteristics of rich sodium and low lithium, and has a crystal structure of a composite of a lithium ternary layered structure phase (R3m), a sodium-containing P2 phase (P63 / mmc), and a LiMn6 (C / 2m) phase dispersed in the two phases, where the content of each structure can be adjusted, and a three-layer sandwich structure is presented in the c-axis direction. On both sides of the primary particle lamella in the <003> direction is the ternary layered structure phase (R3m), and its interplanar spacing is The crystal structure of the middle region is a sodium-containing P2 phase, and its interplanar spacing is relatively large, which is

Control the temperature of the reaction kettle at 50°C. After the reaction for an appropriate time, age for 24 h, filter, wash, and dry to obtain the transition metal hydroxide precursor Ni 0.2 Mn 0.8 (OH)2.
[0048] Then add lithium carbonate and sodium carbonate according to the chemical ratio (sodium carbonate is added in an amount 30% in excess based on the stoichiometry) and mix mechanically. The sintering regime is as follows: heat up to 850°C at a heating rate of 5 / min, hold for 12 h, cool naturally, and sieve to obtain the product.
[0049] The phase distribution is determined by TEM characterization, as Figure 1As shown, a three-layer sandwich structure is presented in the c-axis direction, i.e., a "sandwich" structure. On both sides of the primary particle lamella in the <003> direction are lamellar phases, and the crystal structure in the middle region is a sodium-containing P2 phase.
