Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology and relates to a cathode material with synergistic nanosheet-nanowire doping, its preparation method, and a battery. Background Technology

[0002] With the ever-increasing demand for clean energy, improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries, as an important energy storage device, is crucial. Ternary cathode materials, due to their high specific capacity, good cycle stability, and moderate cost, have become one of the current research hotspots for lithium-ion battery cathode materials. However, ternary cathode materials still face some challenges in practical applications, such as slow lithium-ion diffusion rates, insufficient structural stability, and electrochemical performance degradation under high voltage, which limit their further development and application.

[0003] To address these issues, existing technologies typically employ modification methods such as elemental doping and surface coating for ternary cathode materials. While traditional elemental doping can improve structural stability through lattice manipulation, the doping elements are mostly randomly distributed in ionic form, making it difficult to form directional ion transport channels, thus limiting the improvement in lithium-ion diffusion rate. Nanostructured materials are commonly used as doping or coating materials in existing technologies. Compared to bulk micron-sized materials, nanoscale cathode materials can effectively reduce the lithium-ion transport distance, thereby accelerating the lithium-ion insertion / extraction rate and significantly improving the rate performance of lithium-ion batteries. Based on special structures composed of nanoparticles, such as nanorods, nanotubes, nanosheets, nanowires, and nanocones, these nanostructures can improve the structural stability and cycle stability of the material.

[0004] However, traditional carbon coating or single-phase nanomodification struggles to simultaneously achieve lithium-ion diffusion rate and structural stability. Single-material doping is prone to agglomeration, limiting performance improvement. While nanowire doping can construct one-dimensional ion transport pathways, the high aspect ratio of nanowires easily leads to agglomeration, increasing local impedance. Nanosheet doping, while providing a buffer against volume changes, suffers from easy stacking and agglomeration between sheets, resulting in a decrease in specific surface area and reduced electrolyte wetting area. Furthermore, existing solid-state methods struggle to produce materials with controllable morphology, uniform particle size, and stable electrochemical performance. Co-precipitation methods also face stringent experimental conditions, leading to tight packing of primary particles in the resulting microspheres, affecting electrolyte wetting and lithium-ion diffusion pathways, and reducing the capacity and rate performance of the electrode material. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cathode material and preparation method of nanosheet-nanowire synergistic doping, and a battery. Through the synergistic doping effect of nanowire material and nanosheet material, the problems of slow lithium-ion diffusion rate, poor structural stability and electrochemical performance degradation under high voltage of existing ternary cathode materials are solved, thereby improving the overall performance of ternary cathode materials.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a cathode material co-doped with nanosheets and nanowires, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) Ternary precursor material, nanowire material and nanosheet material are wet ball milled and then dried to obtain doped ternary precursor material;

[0009] (2) The lithium source and the doped ternary precursor material described in step (1) are mixed and sintered to obtain the cathode material with synergistic doping of nanosheets and nanowires.

[0010] The nanowire and nanosheet materials of this invention possess unique one-dimensional and two-dimensional structures, respectively, and work synergistically. The one-dimensional structure of the nanowire material can construct directional ion transport channels, working in conjunction with the nanosheet material to form a highly efficient ion transport network within the material, significantly improving the diffusion rate of lithium ions and thus enhancing the rate performance of the battery. Meanwhile, the two-dimensional layered structure of the nanosheet material can effectively buffer the volume changes during charging and discharging, reducing structural stress. Together with the nanowire material, it enhances the overall structural stability of the material and improves its cycle life. Therefore, co-doping of nanosheet and nanowire materials can suppress agglomeration, effectively avoiding the agglomeration problem that easily occurs when doping with a single nanomaterial, ensuring the specific surface area and electrolyte wetting area of ​​the material, and thus improving the electrochemical activity of the material.

[0011] Furthermore, this invention first performs wet ball milling and drying on ternary precursor materials, nanowire materials, and nanosheet materials to prepare doped ternary precursor materials. Then, the lithium source and the doped ternary precursor materials are mixed and sintered. Compared with directly mixing, drying, and sintering ternary precursor materials, nanowire materials, nanosheet materials, and lithium source in a solid phase, the preparation method of this invention has a more superior doping effect, a more uniform composition distribution, and a more uniform particle size distribution.

[0013] If the diameter of the nanowire material in step (1) of this invention is less than 20 nm, it may become spheroidized or broken during sintering due to high surface energy. If the diameter of the nanowire material is greater than 40 nm, it will lose the nano effect, reduce the specific surface area, and weaken the one-dimensional ion channel effect.

[0014] Preferably, the length of the nanowire material in step (1) is in the range of 1μm-3μm, for example, it can be 1μm, 1.5μm, 2μm, 2.5μm or 3μm, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0015] If the length of the nanowire material described in this invention exceeds 3 μm, the risk of aggregation will increase significantly, and the local impedance will increase.

[0016] Preferably, the mass of the nanowire material in step (1) is 1wt%-3wt% of the mass of the ternary precursor material, for example, it can be 1wt%, 1.5wt%, 2wt%, 2.5wt% or 3wt%, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0020] If the thickness of the nanosheet material described in this invention is too thin, it will easily break or curl during ball milling and sintering, and the cost will increase dramatically. However, if the thickness of the nanosheet material is too thick, it will be difficult to take advantage of the two-dimensional material.

[0021] Preferably, the mass of the nanosheet material in step (1) is 0.5wt%-2wt% of the mass of the ternary precursor material, for example, it can be 0.5wt%, 1wt%, 1.5wt% or 2wt%, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

One-dimensional nanowires provide longitudinal ion channels, while two-dimensional nanosheets enhance surface stability. Specifically, nanowires construct one-dimensional ion transport channels while leveraging the buffering effect of two-dimensional layered nanosheet structures to mitigate volume changes. This synergistic effect effectively solves the aggregation problem associated with single-dimensional nanomaterial doping, balancing lithium-ion diffusion rate and structural stability. Furthermore, this invention employs a specific preparation process, including wet ball milling, vacuum drying, and high-temperature sintering, to ensure controllable morphology and uniform particle size, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the material.

N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is added as a solvent and stirred in a vacuum mixer for 4 hours to form a uniform slurry.

[0084] Coating and drying: The slurry is coated onto the aluminum foil current collector with a coating thickness of approximately 100 μm, and then vacuum dried at 80 °C for 12 hours to remove the solvent.

[0085] Compressing and stamping: The dried electrode sheets are compacted using a roller press under a pressure of 10MPa, and then punched into round sheets with a diameter of 12mm, which serve as positive electrode sheets.

[0086] Battery assembly: In an argon-protected glove box (with water and oxygen content below 0.1 ppm), coin cells were assembled using lithium metal sheets as the negative electrode, a polypropylene separator (Celgard 2400), and an electrolyte (containing 1 mol / L lithium hexafluorophosphate, with ethylene carbonate and diethyl carbonate in a volume ratio of 1:1) as the solvent.

[0089] Capacity retention rate calculation: Capacity retention rate (%) = (Discharge capacity of the 100th cycle / Discharge capacity of the 1st cycle) × 100%.

The discharge capacity at the high rate of 5C was recorded.
