Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and in particular to a modified ternary cathode material and a preparation method thereof, and a lithium-ion battery. Background Art
[0002] As the core component of lithium-ion batteries, the performance of cathode materials is directly related to the energy density, cycle stability and overall cost of batteries. x Co γ Mn 1-x-γ O2-type cathode materials (with high Ni content) have become a research hotspot in the lithium battery industry due to their outstanding energy density, long cycle life, and reasonable economics. However, the safety issues of high-nickel ternary materials have become a major bottleneck restricting their widespread application. In particular, as the Ni content increases, the structural stability and thermal safety of the materials decrease significantly, which is directly related to battery safety.
[0003] Thermal management within the battery is crucial for ensuring safety. As temperature increases, the chemical and physical processes within the battery become more complex and unstable. Typically, at around 150°C, the electrolyte begins to decompose, generating gases and increasing internal pressure. Once the separator melts at high temperatures, the battery loses its structural integrity, triggering an internal short circuit and rapidly increasing the temperature. When temperatures exceed 200°C, the cathode material begins to decompose, releasing oxygen. This oxygen release, combined with the oxidation reaction of the organic electrolyte, generates significant heat energy, a process known as thermal runaway, which can result in battery fire or even explosion. Similarly, the thermal stability of the cathode material is a crucial safety indicator for lithium-ion batteries. In high-nickel ternary materials, the high oxidation state of nickel makes it susceptible to decomposition at high temperatures, producing highly oxidizing species. This poses a heightened safety risk to the battery under overheating conditions. Therefore, improving the thermal and structural stability of the cathode material, and thereby enhancing the safety of the entire battery, has become a key issue currently under investigation in lithium-ion battery research.
[0004] With the widespread use of high-nickel ternary materials in lithium-ion batteries, their thermal stability and safety issues have become increasingly prominent, becoming key factors limiting battery stability and safety. Currently, methods used to improve the safety of ternary cathode materials mainly include surface coating, material modification, and electrolyte additives. However, these methods often have disadvantages such as high cost, complex processes, and impact on the performance of the original materials, which limits their application in large-scale battery production.
[0005] Therefore, finding a modification method for ternary positive electrode materials that can effectively improve the thermal stability of ternary materials, especially the structural stability and safety of high-nickel ternary materials with a high Ni content, without significantly increasing the cost and complexity is of great significance for promoting the further development of lithium-ion battery technology.

[0022] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0023] As mentioned in the background technology section, high-nickel ternary materials have become a research hotspot in the lithium battery industry due to their outstanding energy density, long cycle life and reasonable economy. However, the stability and safety issues of high-nickel ternary materials have become the main bottleneck restricting their widespread application. In particular, with the increase of Ni content, the structural stability and thermal safety of the materials decrease significantly. In severe cases, it may even lead to thermal runaway, causing fire and explosion of the battery. How to improve the thermal stability and structural stability of ternary positive electrode materials and enhance the overall safety performance of the battery has become a key issue that needs to be solved in the current lithium-ion battery research field.
[0024] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a modified ternary positive electrode material, which includes a ternary positive electrode material substrate and a coating layer coated on the surface of the ternary positive electrode material substrate; wherein, the coating layer includes a first component and a second component, the first component is a microporous polymer formed by polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde, and the second component is a high entropy aluminate.
[0025] The modified ternary positive electrode material provided by the present invention includes a ternary positive electrode material substrate and a coating layer applied to the surface of the ternary positive electrode material substrate; wherein the coating layer on the surface of the ternary positive electrode material substrate comprises: a microporous polymer formed by polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde, and a high-entropy aluminate. The present invention achieves the purpose of modifying the ternary positive electrode material by applying a coating layer comprising the above two components to the surface of the ternary positive electrode material substrate. The modified ternary positive electrode material has high thermal stability and structural stability while also having excellent electrochemical properties. The modified ternary positive electrode material is less susceptible to thermal decomposition during use, thereby improving the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries while also having good battery capacity and cycle stability.
[0026] In particular, the coating layer of the modified ternary positive electrode material provided by the present invention includes a first component and a second component, the first component is a microporous polymer formed by the polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde, and the second component is a high entropy aluminate. In the first component of the coating layer, the microporous polymer formed by the polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde not only has the characteristics of microporous structure and large specific surface area, but also can form a stable network structure through the π-π conjugation between molecules in the polymer structure. The above structure can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the modified ternary positive electrode material. First, the microporous polymer with a conjugated structure can promote the transfer of electrons in the structure, significantly improve the conductivity of the material, and thus optimize the electrochemical reaction process of the battery; second, the rich microporous structure and large specific surface area are beneficial to Li + The efficient intercalation and deintercalation of the microporous polymer is beneficial to the cycle of the lithium-ion battery; thirdly, the bipolar characteristics and pseudocapacitive effect of the microporous polymer help to cause electrochemical reactions at a specific voltage (3.08 / 2.64V), provide additional capacity for the ternary material matrix, enhance the overall energy density of the battery, and benefit the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion battery. In addition, the microporous polymer formed by the polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde also has good thermal stability and chemical stability, and can maintain the integrity of the structure and performance under more harsh conditions, which is beneficial to improving the durability and safety of the battery. Furthermore, the high entropy aluminate in the second component has relatively low thermal conductivity and excellent thermal stability. Using high entropy aluminate as one of the materials for the coating layer of the modified ternary positive electrode material can effectively prevent the thermal decomposition caused by the increase in temperature when the battery is fully charged, thereby avoiding the occurrence of thermal runaway. In addition, the high entropy aluminate also has anti-sintering properties, which helps to maintain the stability of the internal structure of the battery, especially under high temperature conditions, preventing the sintering and performance degradation of the material, and can further improve the safety and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries in high temperature environments.

Under the synergistic effect of the two, the modified ternary positive electrode material has good energy density and electrical conductivity while being less prone to heat conduction and heat transfer, which is beneficial to improving the stability and safety of the modified ternary positive electrode material, thereby enabling the modified ternary positive electrode material to have better stability and safety in lithium-ion batteries.
[0028] In summary, the modified ternary cathode material obtained by modifying the ternary cathode material substrate using a microporous polymer linked by tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and a high-entropy aluminate composite as a coating layer material not only has good energy density and conductivity, but also has improved stability and safety. The coating material used for modification also has the advantage of being inexpensive.

[0085] In Comparative Example 3, the ternary positive electrode material substrate before modification in Example 1 was directly used as the ternary positive electrode material.
[0086] Coin-type batteries were prepared using the modified ternary cathode materials prepared in Examples 1 to 13, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the unmodified ternary cathode material in Comparative Example 3 as the positive electrode active material. The assembled coin-type batteries were then left to rest for 4 hours before electrochemical performance testing. The voltage range was 2.8-4.5 V. Specific charge and discharge data are shown in Table 1.
[0087] Specifically, the preparation steps of the button battery include: lithium sheet as the negative electrode, superconducting carbon black Super P as the conductive agent, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the binder, and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as the solvent. The positive electrode active material and superconducting carbon black Super P are ground and then added to a solution of N-methylpyrrolidone dissolved in polyvinylidene fluoride.

The ratio of the capacity of a lithium-ion battery at 1C to the 0.2C first-week discharge capacity is the rate performance of the battery. In addition, the battery capacity (1C-50th) after 50 cycles of the battery was also tested, and the test condition was 25°C. The first efficiency of the battery: the ratio of the 0.2C first discharge capacity to the 0.2C first charging capacity; Battery cycle stability test: the 50-week cycle capacity retention rate of the lithium-ion battery was tested at 25°C.

[0094] Table 2
[0095]
[0096]
[0097] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0098] In Examples 1 to 13, the method proposed in the present invention for modifying the ternary positive electrode material by compounding the microporous polymer formed by the polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde and the high entropy aluminate as the coating layer material of the ternary positive electrode material base was used, and the prepared modified ternary positive electrode materials were used in lithium-ion batteries. According to the data in Tables 1 and 2, the battery capacity, cycle stability and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery were effectively improved. In particular, in Examples 1 to 12, the parameters in the preparation process of the modified ternary positive electrode material were controlled within the preferred range, and the corresponding lithium-ion battery had better electrochemical performance and safety.
[0099] In contrast, in the comparative examples, only a microporous polymer formed by polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde was used in the modification of the ternary cathode material in Comparative Example 1, and only a high-entropy aluminate was used in the modification of the ternary cathode material in Comparative Example 2. The corresponding lithium-ion battery's cycle stability and safety were significantly different from those in the embodiments of the present invention. In particular, the corresponding lithium-ion battery's safety performance was very poor, posing a significant safety risk. Comparative Example 3 used an unmodified ternary cathode material, and the electrochemical performance and safety of the corresponding lithium-ion battery were even further behind those in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0100] In addition, the discharge capacity change of the button-type battery obtained by using the modified ternary cathode material prepared in Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 as the cathode active material after 50 cycles was plotted. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown. Figure 1 It can be seen that the lithium ion battery corresponding to Example 1 has a better battery capacity and better cycle stability. The stability of the lithium ion batteries corresponding to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is much lower than that of Example 1. Further, the DSC curves of the modified ternary cathode materials corresponding to Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were plotted, and the results are shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown by Figure 2 It can be seen that the safety performance of the lithium ion battery corresponding to Example 1 is better, and the safety performance of the lithium ion batteries corresponding to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is far inferior to that of the lithium ion battery corresponding to Example 1.
[0101] In summary, the present invention uses a composite of a microporous polymer formed by the polymerization of tetraaminocopper phthalocyanine and biphenyldicarboxaldehyde and a high-entropy aluminate as a coating layer for the base of the ternary positive electrode material, which can give full play to the respective advantages of the above two components, and under the synergistic effect of the two, it can also enable the modified ternary positive electrode material to have good energy density and electrical conductivity while not being prone to heat conduction and heat transfer, which is beneficial to improving the stability and safety of the modified ternary positive electrode material, thereby enabling the modified ternary positive electrode material to have better stability and safety in lithium-ion batteries.
