Description

[0002] Under high voltage and high temperature conditions, the surface structural stability of single-crystal ternary cathode material particles will be significantly reduced, which will lead to the failure of battery performance. The dry coating process can improve the surface stability of the material to a certain extent, but the traditional dry coating process is difficult to achieve uniform coating, and the improvement effect on battery performance is limited.

[0003] In addition, the surface coating layer of traditional single-crystal ternary materials is mostly single / double compounds (such as Al2O3, LiAlO2), which cannot simultaneously meet the synergistic requirements of ionic conductivity, interfacial stability, and mechanical strength. Under high voltage (>4.5V), the coating layer is prone to react with the electrolyte and fail, and the difference in thermal expansion coefficient with the single-crystal matrix leads to interfacial peeling after cycling.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the coating process of single-crystal ternary cathode materials to achieve the purpose of simultaneously improving ionic conductivity, interfacial stability, and mechanical strength, and ultimately enhancing the rate performance and high-temperature and high-pressure cycle stability of single-crystal ternary cathode materials.

[0035] Figure 4 SEM image of the ternary cathode material prepared in Comparative Example 1. Detailed implementation manners

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. For those not specified in the embodiments, the conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer are followed. For reagents or instruments without indicating the manufacturer, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchase.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention provide a coated ternary cathode material, which includes a core layer and an oxide coating layer coated on the core layer, forming a core-shell structure. Among them, the core layer is a nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material, and the oxide coating layer contains a high-entropy oxide of five elements including W, Zr, Mo, Nb, and Al.

[0038] In the oxide coating layer, the molar ratio of W, Zr, Mo, Nb, and Al is (0.2 - 0.4):(0.1 - 0.3):(0.05 - 0.20):(0.1 - 0.3):(0.1 - 0.3), such as 0.2:0.1:0.05:0.1:0.1, 0.3:0.2:0.10:0.2:0.2, 0.4:0.3:0.20:0.3:0.3, etc. Through the synergistic cooperation of the above five elements and by regulating the dosage ratio of each element, the purpose of significantly improving the interface stability, particle mechanical strength, and lithium-ion conductivity of the single-crystal ternary cathode material can be achieved, and finally the rate performance and high-temperature high-pressure cycle stability of the single-crystal ternary cathode material are enhanced.

[0039] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the total amount of metal elements in the oxide coating layer to the total amount of nickel, cobalt, and manganese in the core layer is (0.5 - 2.0):100, such as 0.5:100, 1.0:100, 1.5:100, 2.0:100, etc. The total amount of the five elements in the oxide coating layer is preferably within the above range. Excessive or too little doping amount will affect the electrochemical performance of the cathode material and is not conducive to obtaining excellent rate performance and cycle performance.

[0040] In some embodiments, the chemical formula of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material is LiNi x Co y Mn zO2, where 0.6 < x < 0.7, 0.1 < y < 0.2, 0.2 < z < 0.3. It is advisable that the values of x, y, and z satisfy the above ranges, and all are suitable for forming a coating layer of high-entropy oxide, which can significantly improve the rate performance and cycling performance. Specifically, the chemical formula of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material can be LiNi 0.65 Co 0.10 Mn 0.25 O2, but not limited thereto.

[0041] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a coated ternary cathode material, which forms an oxide coating layer containing W, Zr, Mo, Nb, and Al on the surface of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material, which is beneficial to improving the rate performance and high-temperature and high-pressure cycling performance of the cathode material, and the coating method is not limited.

[0042] To improve the uniformity of the coating, the inventor optimized the coating process and used a spray fluidized bed for coating, which can significantly improve the coating uniformity compared with the traditional dry coating process. The steps are as follows:

[0043] S1. Provide a nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material

[0044] The nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material can be a commercially available material or can be prepared independently.

[0045] In some embodiments, the preparation process of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material includes: mixing a nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide precursor and a lithium source, and sintering in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. The ratio of nickel, cobalt, and manganese is adjusted according to the chemical formula of the ternary cathode material matrix in the target product. The sintering process can adopt a segmented sintering method. First, keep the temperature at 500°C - 600°C for 3h - 7h, then keep the temperature at 900°C - 950°C for 8h - 12h, and then naturally cool and crush the material to obtain the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material.

[0046] Specifically, stepwise sintering can be carried out in a muffle furnace. First, raise the temperature at a heating rate of 2°C / min - 4°C / min to the sintering temperature of the first stage (500°C - 600°C), such as 500°C, 550°C, 600°C, etc., and the holding time can be 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, etc.; then continue to raise the temperature to the sintering temperature of the second stage (900°C - 950°C), such as 900°C, 910°C, 920°C, 930°C, 940°C, 950°C, etc., and the holding time can be 8h, 9h, 10h, 11h, 12h, etc.

[0047] Further, by controlling the amount of the lithium source, the molar ratio of lithium in the lithium source to the total amount of nickel, cobalt, and manganese is (1.03 - 1.06):1, such as 1.03:1, 1.04:1, 1.05:1, 1.06:1, etc., and it is appropriate that lithium is slightly in excess. Specifically, the lithium source can be lithium hydroxide, but is not limited thereto.

[0048] S2. Prepare the raw material solution for forming the oxide coating layer

[0049] Prepare the raw material solution for forming the oxide coating layer. The raw material solution needs to contain elements such as W, Zr, Mo, Nb, and Al. The raw material solution can be a single solution or 2 - 5 solutions, which can be adjusted according to different raw materials. The molar ratio of each element in the raw material solution meets the preset requirements, that is, the molar ratio of W, Zr, Mo, Nb, and Al is (0.2 - 0.4):(0.1 - 0.3):(0.05 - 0.20):(0.1 - 0.3):(0.1 - 0.3).

[0050] In some embodiments, the raw material solution includes a first aqueous solution and a second aqueous solution. The first aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving ammonium tungstate pentahydrate, ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate, and ammonium oxalate niobate hydrate in water. The mass fraction of the first aqueous solution is 40% - 60%, and this mass fraction refers to the total concentration of the raw materials, which can be 40%, 50%, 60%, etc. The second aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving zirconium nitrate and aluminum nitrate in water. The mass fraction of the second aqueous solution is 70% - 80%, and this mass fraction refers to the total mass fraction of zirconium nitrate and aluminum nitrate, which can be 70%, 75%, 80%, etc. The first aqueous solution is alkaline, and the second aqueous solution should not be premixed with the first aqueous solution to prevent zirconium and aluminum from depositing prematurely and affecting the uniformity of the coating.

[0051] S3. Form the coating using a spray fluidized bed

[0052] Place the nickel - cobalt - manganese ternary cathode material in the spray fluidized bed cavity. After atomizing the raw material solution, spray it on the surface of the nickel - cobalt - manganese ternary cathode material, so that the atomized solution can fully contact with the fluidized single - crystal ternary cathode particles and dry and deposit on the surface. The coating process provided by the embodiments of the present invention is simple and easy to implement, and the coating uniformity is higher.

[0053] In some embodiments, a bottom - inlet spray fluidized bed is used for coating. Control the inlet air temperature to be 110°C - 120°C and the fan frequency to be 40Hz - 60Hz. By adjusting the inlet air temperature and the fan frequency, the water in the solution can be quickly volatilized to form a coating layer. Specifically, the inlet air temperature can be 110°C, 115°C, 120°C, etc.; the fan frequency can be 40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, etc.

[0054] Further, the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material can be preheated for 10 min - 30 min before spraying the raw material liquid. During the spraying of the raw material liquid, the nozzle pressure of the fluidized bed is controlled to be 0.1 MPa - 0.3 MPa, and the peristaltic pump frequency is 5 Hz - 20 Hz, so that the raw material liquid can be sprayed more evenly onto the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material to form a uniform coating. Specifically, the preheating time can be 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, etc.; the nozzle pressure of the fluidized bed can be 0.1 MPa, 0.2 MPa, 0.3 MPa, etc., and the peristaltic pump frequency can be 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 15 Hz, 20 Hz, etc.

[0055] S4. Calcination

[0056] After the spraying in step S3 is completed, the material is collected for calcination, and a high-entropy oxide coating layer is formed after calcination.

[0057] In some embodiments, the calcination is carried out in an oxygen atmosphere, the calcination temperature is controlled to be 800 °C - 950 °C, and the calcination time is 5 h - 8 h. By regulating the calcination temperature and time, a heterogeneous structure with a thin layered (R-3m), spinel phase (Fd-3m), and rock salt phase (Fm-3m) coexisting from the inside to the outside is formed on the particle surface, enhancing the mechanical stability and surface structure stability of the surface of the single-crystal ternary material.

[0058] Specifically, the calcination temperature can be 800 °C, 850 °C, 900 °C, 950 °C, etc., and the calcination time can be 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, etc.

[0059] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a positive electrode sheet, including the coated ternary cathode material provided by the embodiment of the present invention. By improving the ternary cathode material, it is beneficial to improve the rate performance and high-temperature and high-pressure cycle stability of the material. Specifically, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector, and a positive electrode active coating is formed on the positive electrode current collector, and the coated ternary cathode material is the main material of the positive electrode active coating.

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention provides a lithium battery, including the positive electrode sheet provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and may also include a negative electrode sheet, an electrode liquid, etc. Due to the improvement of the positive electrode material, this lithium battery has good rate performance and high-temperature and high-pressure cycle stability, and has good market application prospects.
