Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a composite lithium-rich lithium supplement additive. Background Art

[0002] During the first charge and discharge process of a lithium-ion battery, a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film is formed on the surface of the negative electrode, which causes the active lithium in the positive electrode sheet to be consumed, resulting in the loss of the first specific capacity of the lithium-ion battery. At present, the irreversible capacity loss of the graphite negative electrode widely used in mass production lines can reach 10%, and the irreversible specific capacity of the silicon-based and tin-based negative electrodes with high specific capacity is even as high as more than 30%, which greatly reduces the energy density of the lithium-ion battery. Therefore, a lithium supplement method is usually adopted to make up for the irreversible capacity loss of the lithium-ion battery, restore the capacity of the positive electrode sheet, and improve the energy density of the lithium-ion battery.

[0003] At present, the commonly used lithium supplement methods include positive electrode lithium supplement, negative electrode lithium supplement, and electrochemical lithium supplement. Among them, lithium powder and lithium foil are often used for negative electrode lithium supplement. However, since metallic lithium reacts violently with water, the environmental requirements are very high, so that a large amount of funds need to be invested in the mass production line and lithium supplement equipment for modification and procurement. However, due to its high safety and operability, positive electrode lithium supplement has the most promising industrial production prospects. Commonly used positive electrode lithium supplement additives mainly include Li5FeO4, Li2NiO2, Li6CoO4, Li6MnO4, Li5ReO6, etc. Among them, Li5FeO4 can theoretically release 5 Li + / mol and the theoretical specific capacity is as high as more than 850 mAh / g. Therefore, it is regarded as a very ideal lithium supplement additive for positive electrode materials. By adding a certain amount of Li5FeO4 to the traditional positive electrode materials, the first efficiency and energy density of the lithium-ion battery can be significantly improved. However, the conductivity of pure Li5FeO4 is poor, and it is also difficult to ensure the electrical performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0004] In order to improve the lithium compensation effect, conductivity and other properties of lithium compensation agents, researchers have currently developed various lithium compensation materials. Among them, the mainstream lithium compensation materials include preparing various coating layers on the surface of common lithium compensation agents. Patent CN112490415 A discloses a lithium compensation additive for lithium-ion cathode materials. By sequentially coating a carbon layer and a transition metal oxide layer on the surface of the Li5FeO4 matrix, the electron and ion conductivity of Li5FeO4 is significantly improved, the lithium compensation performance and electrochemical performance of the material are enhanced, and the service life of lithium-ion batteries is extended. However, the charging specific capacity of the battery assembled with the lithium compensation agent prepared by this method is relatively low, and the charging efficiency is poor. Patent CN 114497514 B discloses a cathode lithium compensation agent. By using Li2NiO2 to coat Li5FeO4, the energy density and stability of the battery are effectively improved, and the lithium compensation effect and the conductivity of the lithium compensation agent are improved. However, the process of combining Li2NiO2 and Li5FeO4 is difficult, and the stability of the lithium compensation agent still needs to be improved.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to prepare a conductive lithium compensation additive with excellent lithium compensation performance, conductivity and stability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the above existing problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of a composite lithium-rich lithium compensation additive. By mixing and sintering carbon-coated lithium-rich compound Li5FeO4 with NiO@lithium salt prepared by ALD technology, a lithium ferrite composite lithium compensation additive with a carbon coating layer coated with lithium nickelate is prepared.

[0036] Beneficial effects:

[0037] (1) Lithium ferrite lithium supplement has the advantage of high lithium supplement capacity, generally 800mAh / g, but because of its inherent high lithium content, it leads to high residual alkali content, high requirements for the use environment, and large gas production during the lithium supplement process. Although lithium nickelate lithium supplement is superior to lithium ferrite in processability and gas production, its own lithium supplement capacity is relatively low, less than 300mAh / g; the composite lithium-rich lithium supplement Li5FeO4@C@Li2NiO2 prepared by the present invention fully utilizes the advantages of both materials, and uses lithium nickelate with good environmental adaptability as a shell, which to a certain extent serves as a protective layer for lithium ferrite.

[0038] (2) The contact between nano nickel oxide and the lithium salt coating prepared by the ALD method is fully conducive to subsequent sintering and can be prepared at a lower temperature, which is conducive to cost reduction. At the same time, nickel oxide can obtain residual lithium on the surface of the core lithium ferrite in addition to the solid solution reaction with the outer lithium salt coating. Its "dual-channel lithium acquisition mode" can reduce the overall residual alkali content of the material, which is conducive to improving the subsequent battery slurry processing performance.

[0039] (3) The button battery prepared using Li5FeO4@C@Li2NiO2 prepared by the method of the present invention as a lithium supplement has a high charge capacity. The stability of the lithium supplement is also very good. After two days of storage, the charge capacity retention rate of the prepared battery can be as high as 75.96%.

In addition, by using the ALD deposition method to prepare NiO@lithium salt and then mixing and sintering NiO@lithium salt with Li5FeO4@C, the charging specific capacity and stability can be improved to a greater extent.
