Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery material preparation technology, specifically relating to a method for calculating the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium cobalt oxide is the earliest commercially available cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. It has advantages such as high operating voltage, stable discharge, high specific energy, and good cycle performance. It is mainly used to manufacture cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries in mobile phones, laptops, and other portable electronic devices.
[0003] Currently, high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide cathode materials are typically prepared using a lithium-to-cobalt ratio of 1.05-1.1:1 to compensate for lithium loss during sintering. However, this results in residual Li₂O on the surface of the cathode material. This residual Li₂O readily reacts with H₂O and CO₂ to form Li₂CO₃ / LiOH, which adheres to the cathode material surface. During charge and discharge, Li₂CO₃ / LiOH reacts with the electrolyte to generate CO₂, causing internal expansion and potentially explosion. Related research has found that coating the cathode material with a layer of nano-cobalt hydroxide during lithium cobalt oxide sintering not only effectively reduces residual lithium but also forms a cobalt-rich concentration gradient layer on the cathode material surface, thereby improving the material's cycle performance. Therefore, sheet-like nano-cobalt hydroxide is the optimal choice for preparing high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide cathode materials.
[0004] Specific surface area refers to the total surface area per unit mass of a substance, and it is one of the important parameters affecting the performance of cathode materials. Cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)₂), as a precursor material for the synthesis of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO₂), has a significant impact on the performance of the final lithium cobalt oxide due to its specific surface area. Firstly, a larger specific surface area of cobalt hydroxide means more surface active sites and a larger contact area with the lithium source, thus facilitating a more uniform and faster synthesis of lithium cobalt oxide. However, a larger specific surface area increases the difficulty of oxidation prevention and washing / drying during the preparation of cobalt hydroxide. Therefore, when developing new products, it is necessary to comprehensively consider specific surface area and other factors to find the optimal balance. Consequently, finding a method for calculating the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide is particularly important. However, a literature review shows that there are currently no relevant studies available. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for calculating the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide, so as to solve the problem that the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide is difficult to adjust accurately.
[0006] The technical solution of this invention is: a method for calculating the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Using cobalt sulfate as raw material, prepare a cobalt solution with a cobalt concentration of 90-110 g / L as solution A, and prepare a mixed solution of sodium hydroxide and hydrazine hydrate as solution B; Step 2: Add solution B, which is prepared to account for 40% of the volume of the reaction vessel, to the reaction vessel, and then add solution A to the reaction vessel. The nano-cobalt hydroxide synthesis reaction is carried out under stirring conditions. Step 3: When the pH value of the synthesized slurry in the reactor drops to 12.0-12.1, stop adding liquid. Then, age, wash, dry, and air-jet break the synthesized slurry to obtain nano cobalt hydroxide product. Step 4: Define the concentration range of sodium hydroxide prepared in Step 1 as x, where x ranges from 50 to 300 g / L. Define the specific surface area of the nano-cobalt hydroxide prepared in Step 3 as y, where y ranges from 20 to 30 m². 2 / g, a negative linear relationship is set between the sodium hydroxide solution concentration x and the specific surface area y of nano cobalt hydroxide, with the numerical relationship being y=-0.04x+32; Let the synthesis temperature in step two be t, ranging from 30 to 70℃, and let the specific surface area of the nano-cobalt hydroxide prepared in step three be y, ranging from 10 to 20 m². 2 / g, the synthesis temperature t is set to have a negative linear relationship with the specific surface area y of nano cobalt hydroxide, and the numerical relationship is y=-0.25t+27.5.
[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step two, the flow rate of solution A is strictly controlled to be 50-60% of the volume of the reactor per hour, the reaction temperature is 20±1℃, and the stirring intensity is 50Hz.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step three, the other physicochemical properties of the obtained nano-cobalt hydroxide product are at the nanoscale, and the microstructure is lamellar.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step four, the specific surface area y of nano-cobalt hydroxide calculated according to the equation y=-0.04x+32 has an error compared with the actual experimentally prepared specific surface area y* of nano-cobalt hydroxide, with an error range of ±0.5m. 2 / g, that is, |y*-y|≤0.5m 2 / g.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step four, the specific surface area y of nano-cobalt hydroxide calculated according to the equation y=-0.25t+27.5 has an error range of ±1.0m compared with the specific surface area y* of nano-cobalt hydroxide actually prepared in the experiment. 2 / g, that is, |y*-y|≤1.0m 2 / g.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The precise setting of raw material and solution preparation in this invention lays a solid foundation for establishing a negative linear relationship. This invention fixes cobalt sulfate as the sole raw material, limiting the cobalt concentration in solution A to 90-110 g / L. Solution B uses a mixture of sodium hydroxide and hydrazine hydrate, occupying 40% of the reactor volume. This setting eliminates interference from raw material substitution, concentration imbalance, or fluctuations in system component ratios on the reaction mechanism, making sodium hydroxide concentration and synthesis temperature the core controllable variables affecting specific surface area. This provides a prerequisite for the stable establishment of the two subsequent negative linear relationships, ensuring the purity of the variable influence.
[0012] This invention employs synergistic control of multiple reaction process parameters to ensure the stable effectiveness of the negative linear relationship. By strictly controlling the flow rate of liquid A, reaction temperature, stirring intensity, and termination pH, this invention eliminates irrelevant interference factors such as uneven local reaction rates and system environmental fluctuations. This ensures that the effects of sodium hydroxide concentration and synthesis temperature on the relative surface area exhibit a purely linear correlation, avoiding relationship deviations caused by uncontrolled process parameters. This guarantees that the two relationships, y = -0.04x + 32 and y = -0.25t + 27.5, remain valid within the industrial-scale parameter range.
[0013] This invention quantifies the negative linear relationship, enabling precise prediction and reverse control of specific surface area, breaking through the bottlenecks of traditional processes. This invention clearly establishes a negative linear correlation between sodium hydroxide concentration, synthesis temperature, and specific surface area. The required process parameters can be directly deduced from the target specific surface area, replacing the traditional blind experimentation method and significantly improving R&D and production efficiency. Simultaneously, the errors of the two relationships are controlled within ±0.5 μm. 2 / g, ±1.0m 2 Within / g, ensuring precise control, it not only meets the structural and activity requirements for high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide coating, but also balances the difficulties of anti-oxidation, washing and drying in the preparation process of cobalt hydroxide, achieving synergistic optimization of performance and process.
[0014] This invention provides the industry with a method for precisely controlling the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide. In the process of developing nano-cobalt hydroxide products, the inventors discovered and confirmed that there is a negative linear relationship between the concentration of sodium hydroxide solution, the synthesis temperature and the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide. Based on the experimental results, specific formulas for the relationship between the specific surface area of nano-cobalt hydroxide and the concentration of sodium hydroxide and the synthesis temperature were obtained, and the error range meets the theoretical requirements.
