[0002] As one of the key technologies for modern energy storage, lithium-ion batteries have been widely researched and applied in the fields of energy conversion and storage. With the rapid development of portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems, the market has placed higher demands on the energy density, cycle life, safety, and cost control of high-performance batteries.

[0003] Among numerous cathode materials, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) has long dominated the market due to its excellent electrochemical performance and mature commercial applications. However, its high raw material costs and poor thermal stability have limited its further promotion in power batteries and large-scale energy storage systems. In contrast, lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) has the advantages of abundant raw materials, low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness. In recent years, it has attracted widespread attention in cost-sensitive application scenarios such as low-end electric vehicles, power tools, and energy storage systems.

[0004] However, lithium manganese oxide still faces some key challenges in practical applications. For example, manganese ions (Mn 3+ ) dissolution, leading to electrolyte decomposition and capacity decay; at the same time, its crystal structure is susceptible to the Jahn-Teller effect, resulting in structural distortion and decreased cycling stability. These issues limit its application in high-energy-density and long-life battery systems. To improve the electrochemical performance of lithium manganese oxide, researchers have also proposed a variety of modification strategies, including anion and cation doping, surface coating, structural optimization, and morphology control.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new cathode material that can significantly improve the rate performance and cycle stability of lithium manganese oxide while maintaining its cost advantage, so as to meet the growing market demand and technological development trends.

[0022] The present invention solves the key technical difficulties of traditional spinel lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) positive electrode materials during high-rate (5C) cycling, such as unstable crystal structure, severe manganese dissolution, and limited lithium ion diffusion, by combining a multi-element doping strategy with a gradient sintering process. The details are as follows.

[0023] (1) Crystal site control: The present invention selects one of Al, Mg, Nb, Ti, and Zr as the doping element A, and its cation (such as Al 3+ 、Ti 4+ ) has the same 3+ Similar or higher charge state, able to enter the octahedral 16d site to partially replace Mn 3+ , thereby reducing the unstable trivalent manganese ratio in the system and fundamentally inhibiting the occurrence of the Jahn-Teller effect; at the same time, these elements can also enhance the covalency of the Mn-O bond, improve the thermal stability and mechanical strength of the material; and, La and Sc as doping elements B have larger ionic radius (La3+ 0.103nm, Sc 3+ 0.0745nm), larger than Mn 3+ (0.0645nm), can occupy the 8a or 16c sites without destroying the original cubic spinel structure, and the La with a large ionic radius 3+ Sc 3+ Doping introduces a "spatial expansion" effect in the lattice, broadens the lithium ion transmission channel, reduces the diffusion resistance during lithium ion insertion / extraction, and improves the rate performance. At the same time, the introduction of doping elements also helps to improve the electronic conductivity of the material and improve the electrochemical kinetics.

[0024] (2) Jahn-Teller effect inhibition: Jahn-Teller effect is one of the key factors for the capacity decay of LiMn2O4. 3+ 3D 4 The local lattice stretching or compression caused by the electronic configuration. 4+ 、Nb 5+ ) can be partially oxidized to 3+ Converted to more stable Mn 4+ , fundamentally reducing the number of Jahn-Teller active centers; doping elements B (such as La 3+ ) stabilizes the lattice through the steric effect, alleviating the 3+ These synergistic effects significantly suppress the Jahn-Teller distortion, make the material structure more complete and stable, and improve the overall cycle performance.

[0025] (3) Manganese dissolution inhibition: In the electrolyte environment, especially in the presence of H+, Mn 3+ Easily reduced to Mn 2+ Doping elements A (such as Al, Ti) can promote the formation of stronger Mn-OM metal bridge bonds and enhance the binding force of Mn in the lattice; doping elements B (such as La, Sc) can form a stable interface passivation film on the surface of the material, reducing the direct contact between Mn and the electrolyte; at the same time, doping reduces the Mn 3+ ratio, reducing the possibility of its reduction, thereby significantly inhibiting the dissolution of manganese and extending battery life.

[0026] (4) The present invention adopts a two-stage gradient sintering process: the first stage (500-550°C for 3-6 hours) removes volatile impurities in the raw materials and initially forms a precursor phase; the second stage (650-800°C for 5-10 hours) achieves a full reaction between the doping elements and manganese and lithium, promoting lattice ordering; slow heating and reasonable holding time are conducive to uniform distribution of elements and avoid segregation; natural cooling can reduce residual stress and ensure grain integrity.

[0027] In summary, the present invention significantly improves the high-rate cycling performance and structural stability of LiMn2O4 materials through the synergistic effects of multiple levels, including crystal site regulation, Jahn-Teller effect suppression, manganese dissolution control, lithium ion diffusion path optimization, and sintering process improvement.

[0071] Table 1 Summary of performance of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1

[0072]

[0073] As can be seen from the table, the first discharge specific capacity: Comparative Example 1 is the highest at 116.10 mAh / g, while the first capacity of Examples 1 to 4 is slightly lower, but the difference is not significant; the discharge specific capacity after 30 cycles: Comparative Example 1 significantly drops to 71.78 mAh / g, indicating that its cycle stability is poor, while the capacity changes of Examples 1 to 4 are small, all close to the first capacity, showing good cycle stability. In addition, the capacity retention rate of Comparative Example 1 is 61.82%, and the Coulomb efficiency is 96.04%, indicating that its capacity decay is serious after 30 cycles, there are many irreversible reactions or side reactions, the structure is unstable, and Jahn-Teller distortion and manganese dissolution are prone to occur; the capacity retention rates of Examples 1 to 4 are 99.54%, 98.92%, 98.21% and 99.16%, respectively, all higher than 98%, and all close to or exceeding 100%, indicating that doping with Al and La significantly improves the cycle stability of the material, effectively reduces side reactions, and improves energy conversion efficiency.
