Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery lithium replenishment materials, specifically relating to a ZIF-8 derived carbon composite lithium ferrite replenishment agent and its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium ferrite (Li5FeO4), as a pre-lithiation agent with high irreversible capacity (>550mAh / g) and low reaction energy barrier, can irreversibly deintercalate and intercalate four Li groups during the first charge. + This effectively compensates for lithium loss in the first cycle of the negative electrode. However, the delithiation reaction requires a high voltage of >4.5V, which triggers the release of lattice oxygen and the generation of active oxygen species (such as O2), leading to electrolyte oxidation and decomposition, gas expansion, and safety hazards, severely restricting its application in practical batteries. Previous studies have attempted to stabilize the crystal structure through surface coating or bulk doping, but these still face bottlenecks such as low oxygen suppression efficiency (<30%), ion barrier effect of the coating layer, and secondary oxygen release during cycling.

[0003] In recent years, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived single-atom catalysts have emerged as a novel strategy for addressing the challenge of oxygen release at high voltages due to their maximized atom utilization, tunable metal coordination environment, and highly efficient oxygen conversion capabilities. Among these, nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) supports derived from ZIF-8 can achieve atomic-level dispersion of metals such as Co / Ni / Mn, forming M-N4 active sites, exhibiting excellent bifunctional catalytic activity in lithium-oxidation reactions (ORR / OER). Combining such single-atom catalysts with Li5FeO4 to construct a "pre-lithiation-oxygen elimination" bifunctional system holds promise for simultaneously achieving high lithium replenishment capacity and intrinsic safety.

[0004] However, the precise construction of polymetallic single-atom sites, the interfacial charge transport mechanism between the catalyst and lithium ferrite, and the directional catalytic pathway of lattice oxygen under complex operating conditions remain unclear and require breakthroughs through material design and in-situ characterization techniques. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ZIF-8 derived carbon composite lithium ferrite supplement agent, its preparation method, and its application. The supplement agent is prepared using a ZIF-8 derived multi-metal single-atom catalyst (Co / Ni / Mn). SAs The composite structure is formed by mechanically fusing ( / NC) with lithium ferrite, which enables efficient catalytic lattice oxygen conversion at single atomic sites, significantly suppresses gaseous byproducts, and simultaneously improves lithium replenishment efficiency and thermal stability.

[0006] The core of the technical solution of this invention lies in three collaborative designs:

[0007] (1) In terms of material design: This invention constructs a Zn / Co / Ni / Mn quaternary ZIF-8 precursor (metal molar ratio Zn:(Co+Ni+Mn)=8:1, Co:Ni:Mn=2:1:1) via aqueous co-precipitation. After confined pyrolysis at 900°C for 2 hours under argon atmosphere, atomically dispersed M-N4 active sites are obtained and anchored on a nitrogen-doped carbon support (SAs / NC). This support possesses both high conductivity (>100S / m) and multi-metal synergistic catalytic function (Co regulates oxygen adsorption, Ni promotes electron transfer, and Mn accelerates oxygen reduction). It is then combined with Li5FeO4 through efficient ball milling (mass ratio 1:5) to achieve uniform embedding of single-atom catalysts on the surface of lithium ferrite, forming a "pre-lithiation-oxygen elimination" dual-functional interface.

[0008] (2) In terms of structural control: This invention innovatively adopts a high-temperature pyrolysis-mechanical fusion hierarchical process. At 900°C, the ZIF-8 framework is transformed into a three-dimensional conductive network, and Co / Ni / Mn atoms are coordinated and locked by nitrogen. HAADF-STEM confirms that the metal sites are isolated and dispersed (particle size <0.2nm). During ball milling, the carbon framework of SAs / NC is embedded in the Li5FeO4 grain boundaries to form the Li5FeO4 and SAs / NC microstructure. The nanoscale Co-based particles formed after calcination can be embedded or coated on the surface of the lithium oxalate matrix, establishing a strong interfacial coupling relationship with the oxalate structure. In terms of microstructure, the lithium ferrite particles are embedded in the multiphase Co / C nanoparticles in a dot-like or planar manner, which effectively reduces the reaction energy barrier required for its oxidation decomposition, while constructing a continuous electronic pathway, significantly improving the charge transfer rate and structural stability.

[0009] (3) In terms of electrochemical performance: The SAs / NC@LFO lithium replenisher constructed in this invention achieves stable release of Li during the first charge (2.5-4.7V). + The initial charging efficiency can reach 92-95%. Irreversible lithium delithiation capacity ≥540mAh / g (corresponding to Li...) + (Release), the initial efficiency of silicon-based full cells is ≥91%. With 5wt% addition, the capacity retention after 100 cycles is ≥91% (76.8% without addition), and there is no electrode gas expansion. It exhibits excellent long-term stability and practical potential. Compared to traditional coated lithium iron ferrite, this strategy reduces the amount of lithium replenishing agent by 50% (only 5-10wt%), achieves a lithium replenishment capacity utilization rate >85%, and the process does not require organic solvents, demonstrating significant industrialization advantages.

[0010] The above objectives and designs are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] A method for preparing a ZIF-8 derived carbon composite lithium ferrite supplement includes the following steps:

[0012] S1. Add metal nitrate to deionized water with stirring to obtain a precursor solution. The metal nitrate is a mixture of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and TM(NO3)2·6H2O. Then add 2-methylimidazole to the precursor solution and stir for 30 min to form the TM / ZIF-8 precursor.

[0013] S2. The TM / ZIF-8 precursor is heated to 900℃ at 5℃ / min under an argon atmosphere and calcined at a constant temperature for 2h. After calcination, it is naturally cooled to obtain TM / ZIF-8.

[0014] S3. Then, TM / ZIF-8, Li5FeO4, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes are ball-milled at a mass ratio of 2:12:1 for 4 hours. After the milling is completed, ZIF-8-derived carbon composite lithium ferrite supplement is obtained.

[0015] Furthermore, the mass ratio of deionized water to metal nitrate in S1 is 10:1.

[0016] Furthermore, the metal nitrate described in S1 is composed of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and TM(NO3)2·6H2O mixed in a molar ratio of Zn:TM=8:1.

[0017] Furthermore, the amount of 2-methylimidazole used in S1 is based on a molar ratio of metal ion:2-methylimidazole = 1:8; the metal ion is Zn. 2+ and TM 2+ sum.

[0018] Furthermore, TM mentioned in S1 is one of Co, Ni, and Mn.

[0019] Furthermore, the TM is Co.

[0020] Furthermore, the Li5FeO4 in S3 has a purity of ≥99.5% and a particle size of 50μm; the multi-walled carbon nanotubes have a diameter of 20nm and a length of 1~5μm.

[0021] Furthermore, a ZIF-8 derived carbon composite lithium ferrite supplement is prepared by the above preparation steps.

[0022] Furthermore, a ZIF-8 derived carbon composite lithium iron ferrite supplement agent is applied to the cathode of lithium batteries.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) Revolutionary breakthrough in oxygen release inhibition, significantly improving initial efficacy:

[0025] This invention utilizes a Co / Ni / Mn multi-metal single-atom synergistic catalytic interface (M-N4 site) to suppress the lattice oxygen release during lithium ferrite charging from 2.67 μmol / mg to ≤0.15 μmol / mg, achieving an oxygen conversion efficiency >95%. Compared to traditional oxide-coated lithium ferrite (oxygen suppression rate <30%), the first-stage efficiency of the full cell is improved from 76.8% to ≥91.2%, and this is further enhanced at a high areal capacity cathode (>4 mAh / cm²). 2 The lithium replenishment capacity utilization rate is >85%.

[0026] (2) Enhanced structural and thermal stability:

[0027] The "single-atom carbon layer embedding-conductive network interlocking" interface constructed by ball milling in this invention results in an electrode volume expansion rate of <5% after 100 cycles. ARC testing shows that the thermal runaway trigger temperature is ≥225℃ (169℃ for pure LFO), simultaneously solving the problems of cyclic pulverization and thermal safety.

[0028] (3) Seamless industrialization adaptation:

[0029] This invention employs a solvent-free mechanical fusion process (ball milling for 4 hours), which, compared to the wet coating route, reduces energy consumption by <0.5kWh / kg (wet method >3kWh / kg), lowers overall raw material costs by more than 30%, and shortens the production cycle by 70% (eliminating the solvent cleaning / freeze-drying 24-hour step), making it suitable for industrial-scale expansion.

[0030] (4) Strong industry adaptability:

[0031] The composite lithium supplement agent prepared by this invention is directly compatible with existing cathode slurry preparation processes (NMP solvent system) and does not cause slurry agglomeration or delamination. After rolling, the electrode surface is uniform and dense, exhibiting extremely high inter-electrode stability and coating uniformity. It can be adapted to existing lithium battery electrode production lines without the need for additional equipment or changes to the process route. Attached Figure Description

[0081] Mechanism analysis of this invention:

[0082] In ZIF-8 derived Co / Ni / Mn single-atom catalysts, atomically dispersed M-N4 sites (M=Co, Ni, Mn) achieve revolutionary oxygen suppression through precise d-band electron modulation: Co sites (high-spin d-band electrons) 7 ): In an octahedral field, an unfilled eg↑ orbit (dz) is formed. 2 dx 2 -y 2 The high density of states peak near the Fermi level significantly enhances the lattice oxygen adsorption energy (DFT calculated binding energy ΔEads = -1.8 eV). During the delithiation of lithium ferrite, the M-N4 site eradicates oxygen release through a three-stage combined catalysis of "adsorption-transfer-conversion". This mechanism, through three progressive steps of d-band density of states regulation → chemical bond recombination → dynamic path optimization, elevates material design from "empirical modification" to "precise electronic-scale control", laying a theoretical foundation for high-safety pre-lithiation agents.

[0083] This invention achieves the following through process optimization:

[0084] 1. Precise Material Design: This invention utilizes atomic-level coordination regulation of the M-N4 sites in a Co / Ni / Mn trimetallic system to construct a material with both high oxygen catalytic activity (TOF > 50 s⁻¹). -1 High ion conductivity (σ > 10) ⁻4 A triple functional interface with high lithium replenishment capacity (≥540 mAh / g) and high S / cm achieves a kinetic balance of "pre-lithiation-oxygen elimination-structural stability". A stable catalytic interface with "nanoscale embedding depth > 10 nm + Co 2p binding energy redshift > 0.8 eV" is obtained under a controllable process window at a ball milling energy of 1.2 kWh / kg, achieving enhanced dual coupling of physical contact and chemical bonding.

[0085] 2. Atomic-scale process window locking: This invention achieves enhanced lattice bonding at a ball milling energy density of 1.0 kWh / kg: Fe-O bond length stretching by 0.05 Å (XRD refinement); electronic coupling effect: Co 2p binding energy redshifted by 1.2 eV (XPS verification of strong electronic interaction); and the formation of a dual stable interface of physical embedding (carbon layer depth > 5 nm) and chemical bonding (MO-Fe).

[0086] 3. Closed-loop risk management across the entire chain: This invention addresses three major risks: electrode distortion, oxygen runaway, and single-atom inactivation, achieving a key parameter deviation of <3% (XRD half-width / first-efficiency) from gram-level laboratory to hundred-kilogram-level production line.
