Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to manganese iron oxalate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, a preparation method thereof, and a positive electrode sheet, a battery and an electrical device containing the same. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, batteries have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, as well as in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. With the application and promotion of batteries, their safety performance has received increasing attention. Lithium manganese iron phosphate has become one of the most popular positive electrode active materials due to its advantages such as high capacity, good safety performance and abundant raw material sources. Manganese iron oxalate is widely used as a precursor for lithium manganese iron phosphate due to its low cost. Industrial manganese sulfate is widely used as a raw material for manganese iron oxalate due to its advantages of easy availability of raw materials, large market reserves and high cost performance. However, the impurity ion content of industrial manganese sulfate is usually very high, and the impurity ion content of manganese iron oxalate prepared therefrom is high. The high content of impurity ions will affect the performance of the prepared lithium manganese iron phosphate and batteries. The above statements are only used to provide background technical information related to this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application provides manganese iron oxalate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, their preparation methods, and positive electrode plates, batteries and electrical devices containing the same. The preparation method of manganese iron oxalate provided in the present application has a simple process, low cost, great environmental advantages, and is easy to industrialize. Battery-grade manganese iron oxalate with a low impurity content can be directly prepared using industrial manganese sulfate as a raw material.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing ferromanganese oxalate, comprising the following steps: providing an industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution; adding manganese powder to the industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution, reacting under stirring and heating conditions to obtain a manganese sulfate suspension, wherein the pH of the obtained manganese sulfate suspension is controlled between 4 and 8, and then filtering to obtain a refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution; uniformly mixing an iron source solid or an iron source aqueous solution with the refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution to obtain a manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution; adding the obtained manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution to a precipitant aqueous solution for reaction, wherein the precipitant includes one or more of oxalic acid and oxalate; after the feeding of the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution is completed, adding an alkaline pH adjuster to continue the reaction to obtain a manganese-iron oxalate suspension, and then filtering, washing, and drying to obtain a manganese-iron oxalate solid.

[0005] Manganese powder reacts with water under stirring and heating conditions to produce manganous hydroxide. When the pH of the resulting manganese sulfate suspension is between 4 and 8, the manganous hydroxide does not precipitate, but rather dissociates into divalent manganese ions and hydroxide ions in the manganese sulfate suspension. The continuously dissociated hydroxide ions increase the pH of the manganese sulfate suspension, allowing impurity ions in the industrial manganese sulfate, such as aluminum ions, copper ions, and zinc ions, to precipitate with the hydroxide ions. Subsequently, filtration yields a refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution with reduced impurity ion content, thereby reducing the impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate solid.

[0006] In the preparation method provided in the examples of the present application, a ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution is added to an aqueous precipitant solution to carry out a precipitation reaction. In this case, the impurity ion content in the reaction system is low. During the precipitation reaction, the probability of impurity ions, such as calcium and magnesium ions, entering the ferromanganese oxalate crystals is reduced, thereby reducing the calcium and magnesium impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate solid.

[0007] After the feeding of the ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution is completed, an alkaline pH regulator is added. The alkaline pH regulator can promote the dissociation of the precipitant to produce oxalate ions, thereby promoting the precipitation of ferromanganese.

It can directly use industrial manganese sulfate as a raw material to prepare battery-grade ferromanganese oxalate with a low impurity content.

[0064] Industrial manganese sulfate contains a large number of impurities, such as calcium, magnesium, aluminum, copper, and zinc, which can negatively impact battery capacity and cycle performance. Therefore, industrial manganese sulfate cannot typically be used directly as a battery raw material. Instead, it must first be purified to produce battery-grade manganese sulfate, which increases battery production costs.

[0065] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for preparing ferromanganese oxalate, which can directly prepare battery-grade ferromanganese oxalate using industrial manganese sulfate as a raw material.

[0066] The preparation method comprises the following steps: providing an industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution; adding manganese powder to the industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution, reacting under stirring and heating conditions to obtain a manganese sulfate suspension, wherein the pH of the obtained manganese sulfate suspension is controlled between 4 and 8, and then filtering to obtain a refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution; uniformly mixing an iron source solid or an iron source aqueous solution with the refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution to obtain a manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution; adding the obtained manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution to a precipitant aqueous solution for reaction, wherein the precipitant comprises one or more of oxalic acid and oxalate; after the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution is fed, adding an alkaline pH regulator to continue the reaction to obtain a manganese-iron oxalate suspension, and then filtering, washing, and drying to obtain a manganese-iron oxalate solid.

[0067] Manganese powder reacts with water under stirring and heating conditions to produce manganous hydroxide. When the pH of the resulting manganese sulfate suspension is between 4 and 8, the manganous hydroxide does not precipitate, but rather dissociates into divalent manganese ions and hydroxide ions in the manganese sulfate suspension. The continuously dissociated hydroxide ions increase the pH of the manganese sulfate suspension, allowing impurity ions in the industrial manganese sulfate, such as aluminum ions, copper ions, and zinc ions, to precipitate with the hydroxide ions. Subsequently, filtration yields a refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution with reduced impurity ion content, thereby reducing the impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate solid.

[0068] In the preparation method provided in the examples of the present application, a ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution is added to an aqueous precipitant solution to carry out a precipitation reaction. In this case, the impurity ion content in the reaction system is low. During the precipitation reaction, the probability of impurity ions, such as calcium and magnesium ions, entering the ferromanganese oxalate crystals is reduced, thereby reducing the calcium and magnesium impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate solid.

[0069] After the feeding of the ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution is completed, an alkaline pH regulator is added. The alkaline pH regulator can promote the dissociation of the precipitant to produce oxalate ions, thereby promoting the precipitation of ferromanganese.

[0070] The preparation method provided in the embodiments of the present application has simple process, low cost, great environmental advantages, and is easy to industrialize. It can directly use industrial manganese sulfate as a raw material to prepare battery-grade ferromanganese oxalate with a low impurity content.

[0071] Optionally, the pH of the obtained manganese sulfate suspension is controlled between 6 and 7.8. More preferably, the pH of the obtained manganese sulfate suspension can be controlled between 7 and 7.8. This can better precipitate impurity ions in industrial manganese sulfate, thereby further reducing the impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate solid.

[0072] In some embodiments, the method for providing an industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution may include the following steps: dissolving industrial manganese sulfate in water, stirring until completely dissolved, and filtering to obtain the industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution.

[0073] Alternatively, the water may be pure water.

[0074] Alternatively, the filtration may be vacuum filtration.

[0075] Optionally, the mass fraction of the provided industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution can be 10%-40%, for example, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, or any range thereof. Optionally, the mass fraction of the provided industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution can be 15%-30%.

[0076] Manganese powder reacts with water under stirring and heating conditions to produce manganous hydroxide. In some embodiments, in the step of adding manganese powder to an aqueous solution of industrial manganese sulfate and reacting under stirring and heating conditions to obtain a manganese sulfate suspension, the heating temperature can be 40°C to 80°C, for example, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, or a range consisting of any of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the stirring rate can be 400 rpm to 800 rpm.

[0077] In some embodiments, the mass of the manganese powder can be 0.1%-5% of the mass of the industrial manganese sulfate in the industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution, for example, 0.1%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, or any range thereof. Alternatively, the mass of the manganese powder can be 0.5%-5%, 0.8%-5%, 1%-5%, 1.5%-5%, 2%-5%, 1%-4%, 1.5%-4%, or 2%-4% of the mass of the industrial manganese sulfate in the industrial manganese sulfate aqueous solution.

[0078] Manganese powder reacts with water under stirring and heating conditions to produce manganous hydroxide. In addition, a slightly excess amount of manganese powder can undergo a replacement reaction with the impurity zinc ions in the solution, thereby further reducing the impurity zinc content in the prepared ferromanganese oxalate product.

[0079] Filtration can remove precipitates in the obtained manganese sulfate suspension, such as aluminum hydroxide, copper hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, etc., and can also remove excess manganese powder in the manganese sulfate suspension. Optionally, the filtration can be vacuum filtration.

[0080] In some embodiments, the purity of the manganese powder may be greater than or equal to 99%, and optionally greater than or equal to 99.9%.

[0081] In some embodiments, in the step of uniformly mixing an iron source solid or an iron source aqueous solution with a refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution to obtain a manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution, the iron source may include one or more of ferrous sulfate, ferrous nitrate, ferrous chloride, and ferrous acetate.

[0082] In some embodiments, in the step of uniformly mixing an iron source solid or an iron source aqueous solution with a refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution to obtain a manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution, the molar ratio of manganese element to iron element in the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution can be 5:5-8:2, for example, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, 8:2, or a range consisting of any of the above values.

[0083] The precipitant includes one or more of oxalic acid and oxalates. Alternatively, the oxalates may include one or more of sodium oxalate and ammonium oxalate. More preferably, the precipitant includes oxalic acid.

[0084] The method for preparing an aqueous oxalic acid solution comprises the following steps: dissolving oxalic acid in water and stirring until completely dissolved to obtain the aqueous oxalic acid solution. The water may be pure water. The temperature during the oxalic acid dissolution process may be 20°C to 90°C, optionally 40°C to 90°C or 60°C to 90°C. Heating can increase the solubility of oxalic acid in water.

[0085] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the precipitant aqueous solution can be 5.0%-30.0%, for example, 5.0%, 6.0%, 8.0%, 10.0%, 12.0%, 14.0%, 16.0%, 18.0%, 20.0%, 22.0%, 24.0%, 26.0%, 28.0%, 30.0%, or any range thereof. Alternatively, the mass fraction of the precipitant aqueous solution can be 6.0%-24.0%, 6.0%-20.0%, 6.0%-16.0%, or 6.0%-12.0%.

[0086] In some embodiments, in the step of adding the obtained ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution to the precipitant aqueous solution for reaction, the reaction temperature may be 20°C-90°C, for example, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, or a range consisting of any of the foregoing values. Alternatively, the reaction temperature may be 40°C-90°C, or 60°C-90°C. The reaction under heating conditions can promote the dissociation of the precipitant to produce more oxalate ions, thereby promoting the precipitation of ferromanganese.

[0087] In some embodiments, in the step of adding the obtained manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution to the precipitant aqueous solution for reaction, the ratio of the molar amount of the precipitant in the precipitant aqueous solution to the sum of the molar amounts of manganese and iron elements in the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution can be (2.2-1.0):1, for example, it can be 2.2:1, 2.1:1, 2.0:1, 1.9:1, 1.8:1, 1.7:1, 1.6:1, 1.5:1, 1.4:1, 1.3:1, 1.2:1, 1.1:1, 1.0:1, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Alternatively, the ratio of the molar amount of the precipitant in the precipitant aqueous solution to the sum of the molar amounts of manganese and iron elements in the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution can be (2.0-1.2):1, (1.8-1.4):1. Using an excess of precipitant can promote better precipitation of ferromanganese.

[0088] In some embodiments, the iron source solid or iron source aqueous solution is uniformly mixed with the refined manganese sulfate aqueous solution to obtain a manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution having a mass fraction of 10% to 30%, for example, 10%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, or any range thereof. Alternatively, the mass fraction of the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution obtained may be 12%-26%, or 12%-20%.

[0089] Optionally, when a solid iron source is used, water may be added during the mixing process to adjust the mass fraction of the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution.

[0090] By using a lower concentration of manganese iron mixed metal salt solution, the impurity ion content in the reaction system is lower, for example, the content of calcium ions and magnesium ions is lower. During the precipitation reaction, the probability of impurity ions, such as calcium ions and magnesium ions, entering the manganese iron oxalate crystals is reduced, thereby further reducing the calcium and magnesium impurity content of the prepared manganese iron oxalate solid.

[0091] In some embodiments, the feeding rate of the ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution can be 10 mL / min-100 mL / min, for example, 10 mL / min, 20 mL / min, 30 mL / min, 40 mL / min, 50 mL / min, 60 mL / min, 70 mL / min, 80 mL / min, 90 mL / min, 100 mL / min, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Alternatively, the feeding rate of the ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution can be 20 mL / min-80 mL / min, 20 mL / min-70 mL / min, 20 mL / min-60 mL / min, or 20 mL / min-50 mL / min.

[0092] The use of a slower feed rate is conducive to the growth of ferromanganese oxalate grains, so that the obtained ferromanganese oxalate solid particles are larger, thereby improving the filtration and washing effect of impurities adsorbed on the surface of ferromanganese oxalate crystals.

[0093] The alkaline pH regulator can promote the dissociation of the precipitant into oxalate ions, thereby promoting the precipitation of ferromanganese. In some embodiments, the alkaline pH regulator can include a mixture of one or more of aqueous ammonia, aqueous sodium hydroxide, aqueous potassium hydroxide, aqueous barium hydroxide, and aqueous lithium hydroxide.

[0094] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the alkaline pH adjuster may be 10%-25%.

[0095] In some embodiments, the pH value of the alkaline pH adjuster can be 11-13.

[0096] In some embodiments, the feed rate of the alkaline pH regulator can be 10 mL / min-100 mL / min, for example, 10 mL / min, 20 mL / min, 25 mL / min, 30 mL / min, 40 mL / min, 50 mL / min, 60 mL / min, 70 mL / min, 80 mL / min, 90 mL / min, 100 mL / min, or a range thereof. Alternatively, the feed rate of the alkaline pH regulator can be 20 mL / min-70 mL / min, 20 mL / min-50 mL / min, or 20 mL / min-40 mL / min.

[0097] In some embodiments, after the feeding of the ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution is completed, an alkaline pH regulator is added to continue the reaction to obtain a ferromanganese oxalate suspension. The reaction temperature can be 20°C-90°C, for example, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Alternatively, the reaction temperature can be 40°C-90°C, 60°C-90°C. The reaction under heating conditions can promote the dissociation of the precipitant to produce more oxalate ions, thereby promoting the precipitation of ferromanganese.

[0098] In some embodiments, after the feeding of the manganese-iron mixed metal salt solution is completed, an alkaline pH regulator is added to continue the reaction. In the step of obtaining a manganese-iron oxalate suspension, an alkaline pH regulator is added to continue the reaction until the pH value of the reaction system reaches 2-4, the feeding is stopped, and the reaction is stirred for 20 min-60 min.

[0099] In some embodiments, in the step of filtering, washing, and drying the obtained ferromanganese oxalate suspension to obtain ferromanganese oxalate solid, the filtration may be vacuum filtration.

[0100] In some embodiments, the obtained ferromanganese oxalate suspension is filtered, washed, and dried to obtain ferromanganese oxalate solid. The drying process can be known in the art. Optionally, the drying temperature can be 50°C-150°C, and the drying time can be 1h-4h.

[0187] Performance Testing

[0188] (1) Determination of manganese content in manganese sulfate aqueous solution

[0189] Prepare a standard solution of ammonium ferrous sulfate with a concentration of approximately 0.06 mol / L, and calibrate it with a potassium permanganate solution of known concentration to obtain the concentration c2 of the standard solution of ammonium ferrous sulfate.

[0190] Weigh 0.2 g (accurate to 0.0001 g) of manganese sulfate aqueous solution into a 250 mL conical flask, add 20 mL of concentrated phosphoric acid, then place on a hot plate and heat to about 150° C. Add 5 mL of concentrated nitric acid and shake well, and continue heating to boiling; after the brown gas in the conical flask is completely discharged and the liquid level returns to calm, add 2 mL of perchloric acid and shake well, and continue heating to boiling; after the liquid level returns to calm again, let it cool to room temperature for use.

[0191] Add 50 mL of pure water to a conical flask to fully dissolve the cooled solution. Use a 50 mL burette to titrate with ferrous ammonium sulfate standard solution. When the purple color of the solution almost fades, add 5 to 6 drops of N-phenylanthranilic acid indicator and shake well. Continue titrating until the solution turns bright yellow. Record the volume V3 of ferrous ammonium sulfate standard solution consumed in the titration.

[0192] Manganese content of manganese sulfate aqueous solution

[0193] m1 is the mass of the manganese sulfate aqueous solution weighed, in g. c2 is the concentration of the ammonium ferrous sulfate standard solution, in mol / L. V3 is the volume of the ammonium ferrous sulfate standard solution consumed in the titration, in mL.

[0194] (2) Determination of impurity content of ferromanganese oxalate solid

[0195] Weigh 0.2g of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate solid sample into a 100mL beaker, add 10mL of 10% nitric acid solution, heat and digest at 120°C for 0.5h, and dilute to volume with a 100mL volumetric flask; then use a pipette to transfer 1mL to a 100mL volumetric flask to obtain a test solution. The contents of calcium, magnesium, aluminum, copper, and zinc elements were determined using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The test instrument was an Agilent 5800ICP-OES inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0198] It can be seen from the test results of Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 8 that the preparation method provided in the examples of the present application can directly prepare ferromanganese oxalate using industrial manganese sulfate as raw material, and the prepared ferromanganese oxalate product has a lower impurity content, which can meet the use requirements of battery-grade ferromanganese oxalate.

[0199] From the test results of Examples 1 to 6, it can be seen that by further adjusting the pH value of the manganese sulfate suspension, the impurity ions in the industrial manganese sulfate can be better precipitated, thereby further reducing the impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate solid.

[0200] From the test results of Examples 4 to 6, it can be seen that compared with Example 4, the pH of the reaction system in Examples 5 and 6 no longer changes. It can be seen that the manganese powder in Examples 5 and 6 is excessive, and the excess manganese powder can undergo a replacement reaction with the impurity zinc ions in the solution, thereby further reducing the content of impurity zinc in the prepared ferromanganese oxalate product.

[0201] The test results of Examples 5 and 7 show that reducing the feed rate of the ferromanganese mixed metal salt solution can further reduce the impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate product. Using a slower feed rate is conducive to the growth of ferromanganese oxalate grains, resulting in larger ferromanganese oxalate solid particles, thereby improving the filtration effect of impurities adsorbed on the surface of the ferromanganese oxalate crystals, and further reducing the impurity content of the prepared ferromanganese oxalate product.

[0202] The test results of Examples 7 and 8 show that the use of a lower concentration of a manganese iron mixed metal salt solution can further reduce the impurity content of the prepared manganese iron oxalate product, particularly the calcium and magnesium impurity content. The lower the concentration of the manganese iron mixed metal salt solution, the lower the content of impurity ions in the reaction system. During the precipitation reaction, the probability of impurity ions, such as calcium ions and magnesium ions, entering the manganese iron oxalate crystals is reduced, thereby further reducing the impurity content of the prepared manganese iron oxalate product.

The above-mentioned embodiments are merely examples, and any embodiments having substantially the same structure and effect as the technical concept within the scope of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present application.
