Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of secondary battery material regeneration. More specifically, it relates to a method for regenerating waste lithium iron phosphate batteries by combining spontaneous reactions. Background Art

[0002] For waste lithium-ion batteries, recycling and regenerating the batteries after disassembly is a common method. At present, there are many drawbacks to this approach. For example, the high cost. Due to the complex internal structure of the battery, disassembly requires a large amount of manpower and equipment, and the design of automated disassembly equipment is complex and expensive. In addition, there are many potential safety hazards during the disassembly process. Since the battery contains electrolyte and harmful substances, they may leak during disassembly, causing harm to the environment and human health. Moreover, during the disassembly process, there may be a short circuit or mechanical damage, which may cause the battery to catch fire and explode. Furthermore, during the disassembly process, some active materials may not be recyclable due to mechanical damage or contamination, resulting in a low material recovery rate.

[0003] Based on this, if the battery can be regenerated without disassembly through a spontaneous reaction, the above problems can be effectively solved. However, during the use of the battery, the decomposition of the electrolyte and the formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film consume active lithium, resulting in a decrease in capacity, and the change in the structure of the positive electrode material caused by long-term cycling, such as particle fragmentation, and the negative electrode material is damaged due to lithium dendrites or volume expansion, etc. A series of changes, the impact is very complex. At present, for this field, if a feasible spontaneous reaction is used to solve many problems, it is still a technical problem that needs to be overcome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: during the recovery and regeneration of the positive active material of lithium iron phosphate batteries, how to reduce the difficulty of recovery and regeneration and achieve effective and uniform repair of the positive electrode material. The present invention provides a method for regenerating waste lithium iron phosphate batteries by combining spontaneous reactions.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for regenerating waste lithium iron phosphate batteries by combining spontaneous reactions.

[0006] The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: A method for regenerating waste lithium iron phosphate batteries by combining spontaneous reactions, and the specific regeneration steps include: Ball-milling the recovered lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material into a powder with a sphericity of 0.8 - 0.9 and a D50 of 1 - 2.5 μm; The powder is ultrasonically dispersed in the dopamine solution, and then the lithium sulfate solution is added. After microwave ultrasonic reaction, the pH is adjusted to 7.6 - 7.8. After continuing the microwave ultrasonic reaction, filtration and drying are carried out to obtain a dry filter cake; The dry filter cake is placed in an inert atmosphere and calcined at a temperature of 600 - 800 °C for 3 - 5 h, then cooled, discharged, and dispersed to obtain the regenerated lithium iron phosphate cathode material.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: The above technical solution adopts mechanical ball milling and uses the lithium sulfate solution as a lithium supplement agent. By utilizing the microwave ultrasonic reaction process, the spontaneous reaction regeneration of the recovered lithium iron phosphate cathode material is realized. Specifically, first, during the long-term ball milling process, the first thing that occurs is the refinement of particles. During this refinement process, the soft agglomeration between particles is first broken open. Secondly, physical defects formed inside the particles during battery use, such as particle cracks, etc., are easily disintegrated along the cracks or defects under the action of mechanical ball milling pressure. As the ball milling time prolongs, the "fragile" edges around the particles are gradually ground smooth, so that the particles are gradually spheroidized and refined. By screening, particles with relatively high sphericity and appropriate particle size are obtained for the subsequent regeneration process, which can effectively eliminate the physical defects inside the particles. At the same time, spherical particles are more conducive to the effective and uniform intercalation of lithium ions in different directions, thus ensuring the smooth progress of spontaneous lithium intercalation in the subsequent lithium sulfate solution; In addition, by coating dopamine on the surface of the powder before the spontaneous lithium intercalation reaction in the lithium sulfate solution, the lithium ions in the lithium sulfate solution can be adsorbed and enriched by the dopamine coating layer. Part of the lithium ions are intercalated into the powder during the spontaneous lithium intercalation reaction in the solution, while the other part of the lithium ions remain in the coating layer and continue to slowly intercalate into the interior of the cathode material during the subsequent calcination process. Thus, through the spontaneous lithium intercalation in the solution and the subsequent lithium intercalation during the calcination process on the surface, the full lithium supplementation and regeneration of the lithium iron phosphate cathode material are realized; in addition, during the high-temperature calcination process of dopamine, the presence of N elements can also realize the surface doping of the lithium iron phosphate cathode material and improve its surface electron conductivity.

[0008] Furthermore, the concentration of the dopamine solution is 3 - 5 g / L; and the dosage of the dopamine solution is 10 - 12 times the mass of the powder.

[0009] Furthermore, the mass fraction of the lithium sulfate solution is 6 - 8%; and the dosage of the lithium sulfate solution is 60 - 70% of the mass of the powder.

[0010] Further, the microwave ultrasonic reaction includes: reacting under the conditions of a microwave power of 600 - 660 W and an ultrasonic frequency of 120 - 140 kHz for 60 - 80 min.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By using the microwave ultrasonic reaction, it can assist lithium ions to smoothly pass through the dopamine coating layer and fully diffuse and penetrate into the lithium iron phosphate cathode material. This is because although the dopamine coating layer can adsorb lithium sulfate in the solution system, due to the limitation of the concentration difference, it is necessary to wait until the lithium sulfate in the coating layer effectively diffuses and penetrates inward before the lithium sulfate in the solution will continue to be adsorbed into the coating layer. That is to say, the existence of the coating layer accelerates the enrichment of lithium sulfate on the surface of lithium iron phosphate in the early stage, but the subsequent diffusion rate will significantly decrease due to the concentration difference, resulting in a significant decrease in the enrichment rate. Under the above microwave ultrasonic reaction conditions, the diffusion and penetration of lithium sulfate into the interior can be accelerated, and this process is uniform. Therefore, the lithium supplement reaction can be completed both uniformly and efficiently.

[0012] Further, the specific regeneration step further includes: The dried filter cake is slowly heated and raised to 300 - 320 °C at a rate of 0.2 - 0.4 °C / min in an inert atmosphere, and then continues to be rapidly heated and raised to 600 - 800 °C at a rate of 6 - 8 °C / min. After holding and calcining for 3 - 5 h, it is cooled to room temperature with the furnace, discharged, and broken up to obtain the regenerated lithium iron phosphate cathode material.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: The inventor further found that during the calcination process, by controlling the slower heating rate in the early stage and the faster heating rate in the later stage, in this way, it can not only ensure that the time during the calcination process is controllable and not too long, but also avoid the thermal stress of the coating layer on the surface during the rapid heating process due to the faster heating rate in the early stage, resulting in the shedding of the coating layer, so that the lithium-containing components enriched in the coating layer also fall off, leading to the failure of lithium supplementation during the sintering process at higher temperatures in the subsequent stage, or uneven lithium supplementation due to local shedding.

[0014] Further, the dopamine solution further includes a water-soluble aluminum salt accounting for 3 - 5% of the mass of the dopamine solution.

[0015] Further, the water-soluble aluminum salt is selected from any one of aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate, and aluminum acetate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By mixing a certain amount of water-soluble aluminum salt in the dopamine solution, the surface of lithium iron phosphate can be repaired, so that the surface of the lithium iron phosphate material has good mechanical strength, and the liquid absorption and retention effect of the lithium iron phosphate surface on the electrolyte is ensured.

[0017] Furthermore, the dopamine solution further includes microcrystalline cellulose accounting for 3-5% of the mass of the dopamine solution.

[0018] Furthermore, the crystallinity of the microcrystalline cellulose is 30-45%.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By further introducing microcrystalline cellulose with low crystallinity, the above technical solution can coat lithium iron phosphate surface together with dopamine, and transform into a carbon coating layer with electronic conductivity during the calcination process. The reason for using microcrystalline cellulose with low crystallinity is that it has more amorphous regions, and the existence of amorphous regions is more conducive to the penetration of lithium ions through the coating layer and diffusion into the interior during the microwave ultrasonic reaction process.
