Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-nickel cathode technology, specifically to a high-nickel cathode for lithium-ion batteries and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, due to their high energy density and long cycle life, have been widely used in new energy vehicles, energy storage devices, and other fields. High-nickel cathode materials, with their ultra-high specific capacity, have become a core material for improving battery energy density and have attracted much attention from the industry. However, high-nickel cathode materials still face many technical bottlenecks in practical applications: First, the increased nickel content leads to a decrease in the stability of the material's crystal structure, making it prone to volume distortion and phase transitions during cycling, and the formation of side reaction products on the surface, significantly reducing ion transport efficiency; Second, components such as fluorides in lithium-ion batteries easily react with the cathode surface, causing material corrosion and degradation, while transition metal ions easily dissolve and diffuse to the anode, leading to anode performance degradation and seriously affecting battery cycle life and storage stability; Third, in traditional preparation processes, the water washing purification step easily triggers surface side reactions, and single surface modification methods cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of structural stability, ion transport, and corrosion resistance, failing to achieve a comprehensive improvement in electrochemical performance.
[0003] Therefore, developing a high-nickel cathode material preparation technology that combines excellent structural stability, efficient ion transport capability, and resistance to electrolyte erosion has become an urgent need to promote the development of lithium-ion batteries towards higher performance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-nickel positive electrode sheet for lithium-ion batteries and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-nickel positive electrode sheet for lithium-ion batteries, comprising the following steps: (1) Mix high-nickel cathode material precursor, molybdenum trioxide, aluminum fluoride and ethanol in a mass ratio of 1:0.01~0.02:0.005~0.01:2, ball mill the mixture for 2~4 hours at a ball-to-material ratio of 10:1, and dry it at 80℃ for 12 hours to obtain the self-made high-nickel cathode material precursor; (2) The self-made high-nickel cathode material precursor, lithium source and deionized water are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1.05:10. After stirring at room temperature for 10 min, the mixture is transferred to a hydrothermal reactor and reacted at 200℃ for 15~24 h. After cooling naturally to room temperature, the precipitate is washed with deionized water until the pH is 7.0. After vacuum drying at 80℃ for 12 h, the high-nickel cathode material is obtained. After calcination twice, the self-made high-nickel cathode material is obtained after natural cooling to room temperature. The self-made high-nickel cathode material is prepared into a cathode slurry. The cathode slurry is evenly coated on the cathode current collector aluminum foil with a scraper to form a wet film. After vacuum drying at 80℃ for 12 h, it is compacted and cut into high-nickel cathode sheets. (3) Mix 2-vinylthiophene, itaconic anhydride, photoinitiator, pore-forming agent and organic solvent in a mass ratio of 1:0.3~0.5:0.01:0.5~0.8:10 and stir at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour to obtain a coating solution. Coat the coating solution evenly on the surface of the high nickel positive electrode sheet modified by KH570 hydrophobicity to form a wet film with a thickness of 40~60μm. Place the coated high nickel positive electrode sheet in an oven at 80℃ and dry it in the dark for 10 minutes. Place the dried high nickel positive electrode sheet in a nitrogen atmosphere and UV cure it for 2~3 minutes. Then raise the temperature to 200℃ and keep it at the temperature for 2 hours to obtain a lithium-ion battery high nickel positive electrode sheet with a surface-coated film.
[0006] Furthermore, the high-nickel cathode material precursor mentioned in step (1) is composed of Ni. 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1( High-nickel cathode material precursor (OH)2.
[0007] Furthermore, the lithium source in step (2) is LiOH·H2O.
[0008] Furthermore, the thickness of the positive current collector aluminum foil in step (2) is 20 μm.
[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the wet film coated in step (2) is 100 μm.
[0010] Furthermore, the high-nickel cathode sheet mentioned in step (2) is a high-nickel cathode sheet with an areal density of 20 mg / cm².
[0011] Furthermore, the photoinitiator in step (3) is Irgacure 819.
[0012] Furthermore, the pore-forming agent in step (3) is PEG 1000.
[0013] Furthermore, the organic solvent in step (3) is N-methylpyrrolidone.
[0014] Furthermore, the lithium-ion battery high-nickel cathode sheet with a surface-coated thin film in step (3) is a lithium-ion battery high-nickel cathode sheet with a surface film pore size of 0.5~1μm and a porosity of 30~40%.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: This invention achieves long cycle life and excellent electrochemical performance by coating a high-nickel cathode sheet prepared from a self-made high-nickel cathode material precursor with a self-made composite microporous film.
[0016] This invention prepares a high-nickel cathode sheet using molybdenum trioxide and aluminum fluoride as raw materials. After a second calcination treatment, surface defects are repaired, side reactions caused by water washing are avoided, and the stability of the material is further improved, thereby enhancing battery cycle life. Then, KH570 is used to hydrophobically modify the surface of the high-nickel cathode sheet, which is then coated with a mixture of 2-vinylthiophene, itaconic anhydride, and a pore-forming agent. Finally, after UV curing and removal of the pore-forming agent, a high-nickel cathode sheet for lithium-ion batteries with a composite microporous film coated on the surface is obtained. The doping of molybdenum trioxide and aluminum fluoride gives the high-nickel cathode sheet excellent ion transport efficiency in addition to good structural stability. The composite microporous film formed by the KH570 hydrophobic layer and the coating of 2-vinylthiophene and itaconic anhydride not only prevents electrolyte erosion of the cathode material and extends battery storage life, but the presence of micropores also optimizes ion transport efficiency, achieving synergistic transport of ions and electrons, greatly improving electrochemical performance. Simultaneously, itaconic anhydride can coordinate with transition metals dissolved from the high-nickel cathode sheet, preventing them from diffusing to the negative electrode and causing damage.

The DC internal resistance and AC internal resistance (frequency range 1 Hz to 106 Hz) of the high-nickel composite positive electrode sheet were tested at 60 °C using a dual-probe method. The DC internal resistance reflects the electronic conductivity of the electrode sheet, while the AC internal resistance reflects the lithium-ion conductivity. To improve testing accuracy, gold plating was performed on the top and bottom of the sample before testing. Rate discharge tests were conducted on the all-solid-state battery at 60 °C with a voltage range of 2.7–4.1 V, at discharge rates of 0.1C, 0.3C, 1.0C, and 1.5C. Cycle life performance testing: High-nickel cathode sheets prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were used as cathodes, and lithium-indium alloy sheets (55% lithium atom percentage, 50 μm thickness) were used as anodes to prepare coin-type all-solid-state lithium batteries. The assembled all-solid-state lithium batteries were cycled for 3 weeks at room temperature within the range of 4.4V-3.0V, with a cycle current of 0.2C. Then, within the same voltage range, they were subjected to constant current and constant voltage charge-discharge cycles at a rate of 0.2C for 50 cycles. The internal resistance of the batteries was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz, with an applied voltage amplitude of 5 mV.

[0031] Example of effect Table 1 below presents the performance analysis results of the high-nickel cathode sheets for lithium-ion batteries using Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 of the present invention.
[0032] Table 1 A comparison of the experimental data on the electrochemical performance of the examples and comparative examples reveals that the present invention first prepares a high-nickel cathode material precursor by doping molybdenum trioxide with aluminum fluoride. After preparing the cathode sheet via a hydrothermal method and performing a second calcination, KH570 is used for hydrophobic modification. Then, 2-vinylthiophene, itaconic anhydride, and pore-forming agents are coated onto the cathode, followed by UV curing to obtain the high-nickel cathode sheet for lithium-ion batteries. The bulk doping of anions and cations gives the high-nickel cathode sheet excellent ion transport efficiency in addition to good structural stability. The composite microporous film formed by the KH570 hydrophobic layer and the grafted maleic anhydride polythiophene allows for precise control of the pore size and porosity of the surface microporous film. This optimizes ion transport efficiency, achieving synergistic transport of ions and electrons, and greatly improving electrochemical performance. A comparison of the capacity retention data from the examples and comparative examples after 50 cycles reveals that the two-stage calcination treatment in this invention repairs surface defects, avoids side reactions caused by water washing, and further improves material stability, thereby enhancing battery cycle life. The composite microporous film formed by the KH570 hydrophobic layer and the grafted maleic anhydride polythiophene can also prevent the electrolyte from eroding the positive electrode material, extending battery storage life. Simultaneously, maleic anhydride can coordinate with transition metals dissolved from the high-nickel positive electrode, preventing their diffusion to the negative electrode and causing damage.
