Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and in particular to an antimony chalcogenide-coated lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium cobalt oxide is a relatively mature cathode material in lithium-ion batteries and has been widely used in the field of 3C electronic products. However, with the increasing demand for high specific energy of lithium-ion batteries, lithium cobalt oxide materials are facing the challenge of developing in the direction of high voltage and high specific capacity. In the process of increasing the voltage, the structure of the battery material will undergo irreversible changes, resulting in a significant attenuation of the electrochemical performance. To this end, the industry has tried to modify the material by surface coating, but the general coating material has poor conductivity, which hinders the transport of lithium ions in the system; at the same time, the coating material has insufficient tolerance to the lattice strain generated during the lithium ion insertion and extraction process, resulting in a decrease in structural stability, which is not conducive to the performance of the battery. Therefore, finding a more effective modification method is still a key issue to be solved in the current lithium cobalt oxide battery.

[0003] Currently, there are public efforts to use antimony oxide layers to coat lithium cobalt oxide to enhance its interfacial stability and impart good structural stability. However, antimony oxide is a wide-bandgap semiconductor (3.6-4 eV) with extremely poor conductivity and a low lithium ion diffusion coefficient, which increases interfacial impedance and reduces rate performance. Antimony oxide is also brittle and lattice-mismatched with lithium cobalt oxide. Long-term charge and discharge processes can easily cause the coating to crack and detach, leading to severe interfacial side reactions.

[0004] Publication No. CN 112447948 B discloses a sulfide-coated positive electrode material, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium-ion battery. The sulfide coating layer is coated on the surface of a lithium-containing positive electrode material. The preparation is specifically carried out by the following steps: stirring and mixing the lithium-containing positive electrode material with anhydrous ethanol, introducing hydrogen sulfide gas, stirring the reaction, solid-liquid separation, and drying to obtain a positive electrode material with lithium sulfide on the surface; under a protective atmosphere, mixing the positive electrode material with lithium sulfide on the surface with auxiliary components and a stabilizer in a coating machine, and then placing the mixed product in a closed quartz tube and heat treating it under a protective atmosphere to obtain a sulfide-coated positive electrode material. The positive electrode material prepared by this patent has good surface structural stability, high ionic conductivity, low interfacial impedance, low residual alkali, and excellent cycle stability. However, this patent has the following shortcomings: when preparing the battery positive electrode, the positive electrode active material, the binder polyvinylidene fluoride, and the conductive agent (SP conductive agent) are mixed in a ratio of 96:2:2, the amount of positive electrode active material used is large, and the preparation steps of this patent are relatively complicated, requiring the introduction of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas and the mixing in a coating machine, and the experimental conditions are relatively harsh. In addition, this patent uses hydrogen sulfide gas and lithium-containing positive electrode materials to react at the interface to prepare the lithium sulfide coating layer, resulting in a decrease in interface quality, a large number of defects, and the sacrifice of some lithium element content. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above shortcomings, the present invention provides an antimony chalcogenide-coated lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material, a preparation method, and an application thereof.

[0020] On the other hand, the present application also provides the use of the above-mentioned antimony sulfide-coated lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material in the preparation of lithium batteries.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The method for preparing an antimony sulfide-coated lithium cobalt oxide cathode material of the present invention. The prepared antimony sulfide-coated lithium cobalt oxide cathode material has good structural stability and can be used in lithium-ion batteries to significantly improve the specific capacity and cycle life of lithium cobalt oxide batteries at high voltage.

[0023] 2. The antimony chalcogenide-coated lithium cobalt oxide cathode material prepared by the present invention has an antimony chalcogenide coating layer coated on the surface of the lithium cobalt oxide, which reduces the contact area between the lithium cobalt oxide particles and the electrolyte. This in turn reduces the occurrence of side reactions and the dissolution of the lithium cobalt oxide material surface during battery cycling, and promotes the stability of the interface between the lithium cobalt oxide and the electrolyte. At the same time, the interaction between lithium and sulfur (Li-S) and lithium and selenium (Li-Se) accelerates the transport of lithium ions in the system, resulting in the cathode material having more excellent electrochemical and cycling performance. The first-cycle discharge capacity is 200.94 mAh / g, and the capacity retention rate is good (85.78%) after 50 cycles.

[0024] 3. The antimony chalcogenide-coated lithium cobalt oxide cathode material prepared by the present invention can change the material's conductivity by adjusting the ratio of sulfur to selenium, which can accelerate lithium ion transmission. In addition, S-Se bonds can be formed between selenium and sulfur, enhancing the stability of the cathode structure and thus improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0025] 4. The antimony chalcogenide-coated lithium cobalt oxide cathode material prepared by the present invention belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system. Its unique quasi-one-dimensional crystal structure can slow down the volume change of lithium cobalt oxide caused by lithium ion deintercalation and alleviate the lattice expansion stress caused by lithium ion deintercalation, thereby ensuring close contact between the antimony chalcogenide and lithium cobalt oxide, reducing interfacial side reactions and ensuring the structural stability of the cathode material. The same group elements sulfur and selenium tend to competitively bind with lithium, promoting the lithium ion transport dynamics during battery operation. Compared with antimony oxide, antimony chalcogenide has a band gap of 1.1-1.7 eV, and antimony chalcogenide has better conductivity, which can improve the electrochemical performance of the cathode material. The relative ratio of sulfur and selenium in the antimony chalcogenide is adjustable, and the electrochemical performance of the antimony chalcogenide coating layer can be improved by regulating the sulfur / selenium ratio.

[0026] 5. The method for preparing the antimony chalcogenide-coated lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material of the present invention has a simple process, low equipment requirements, low cost, and is suitable for large-scale production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
