Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of all-solid-state lithium battery technology, and in particular to a fluorine oxide active material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The energy density of all-solid-state lithium batteries is largely limited by the performance of the cathode material. Traditional intercalation cathode materials (such as LiFePO4, LiMn2O4, LiCoO2, LiNi) x Co y Mn 1-x-y O2, etc., through Li + Energy storage is achieved by embedding / extracting lithium ions at fixed sites within the material. However, due to the influence of the material structure, the saturation embedding of lithium ions is limited, so the theoretical specific capacity is usually difficult to exceed 200 mAh g⁻¹. -1 This, in turn, limits the battery's energy density. In contrast, conversion-type cathode materials achieve lithium storage through multi-electron redox reactions. During this process, chemical bonds break or recombine, valence changes occur, and the crystal lattice transforms, resulting in higher specific capacity and energy densities as high as 1600~2500 Wh / kg. -1 .

[0003] Among numerous conversion-type cathode materials, transition metal fluorides (MF) stand out. n (M represents transition metal elements such as Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, etc.) Iron trifluoride (FeF3) has superior specific energy density. Among them, it stands out due to its high theoretical operating potential (2.74 V) and theoretical capacity (712 mAh g⁻¹). -1 Theoretical energy density (1922 Wh kg) -1 FeF3 has attracted much attention due to its abundant crustal reserves. However, the intrinsic properties of FeF3 pose serious challenges: the high ionicity of the Fe-F bond results in poor intrinsic electronic conductivity, low ion diffusion rate, slow conversion reaction kinetics, and severe voltage hysteresis and irreversible structural degradation during lithiation / delithiation, leading to problems such as rapid capacity decay, poor rate performance, and low energy efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, various modification strategies exist in existing technologies. For example, constructing a three-dimensional conductive network by combining it with conductive materials can improve the intrinsic conductivity of FeF3, while simultaneously enhancing the conductivity of Li. +Diffusion provides additional transport channels, thereby improving high-current cycling performance and rate performance. Furthermore, surface modification strategies stabilize the cathode-electrolyte interface, suppressing drastic changes in cathode volume during charge and discharge. Additionally, doping FeF3 with heteroatoms restructures the internal charge distribution, effectively enhancing its redox activity. For example, patent CN106099074A discloses a modified iron fluoride nanocomposite cathode material, its preparation method, and its application, which is doped with Cr metal ions. 3+ Adjusting the lattice parameters of the crystal can significantly improve the diffusion performance of lithium ions and enhance their conductivity. However, the above methods are still limited in practical applications by inherently insufficient intercalation reaction capacity and slow reaction kinetics. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing a fluoride oxide active material, its preparation method, and its application. By designing a fluoride oxide active material with a core-shell gradient structure, precise control of the material's band gap and crystal structure is achieved, thereby obtaining a fluoride oxide-based composite cathode material with stable structure, fast ion transport kinetics, good interfacial compatibility, high specific capacity, and good cycle stability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a fluoride active substance, comprising the following steps: (1) FeF3·3H2O was mixed and ground with transition metal fluorides and then ball-milled; (2) Add the ball-milled product to an organic solvent, heat and stir to carry out a solvothermal reaction, and cool and let stand after the reaction is completed; (3) Disperse FeF3·3H2O in an organic solvent, stir evenly, and then drop it into the system after standing in step (2). Then raise the temperature to continue the solvothermal reaction. After the reaction is completed, separate and dry the product to obtain the fluorine oxide active material.

[0007] This invention constructs a fluoride oxide active material with a core-shell gradient structure through stepwise high-energy ball milling and controlled heat treatment, achieving precise control over the material's band gap and crystal structure. This structure is composed of richly doped metal ions (such as Ni). 2+ Co 2 + Mn 2+The material consists of a core (such as a core-shell composite cathode) and a shell with low doping levels of metal ions. The core, through metal ion doping, introduces additional redox active sites, enhancing the material's theoretical specific capacity. Its expanded interlayer spacing provides a fast channel for lithium-ion transport. The shell exhibits fluorine-rich properties, which can stabilize surface lattice oxygen by altering the electronic environment, enhancing structural stability. It also facilitates the formation of a stable electrode / electrolyte interface in the early stages of cycling, effectively suppressing interfacial side reactions and reducing lithium-ion cross-interface transport impedance. This gradient distribution of composition and structure acts as a stress gradient buffer during charge and discharge. Due to the difference in expansion behavior between the core and shell, a continuous mechanical property gradient can be formed within the material, dispersing lattice stress throughout the gradient region, avoiding stress concentration and microcrack propagation at the interface, and significantly suppressing structural distortion during cycling. In summary, this fluorine oxide-based composite cathode with a core-shell gradient structure achieves synergistic effects of composition control, stress optimization, and enhanced transport through microstructural design. It possesses characteristics such as structural stability, fast ion transport kinetics, good interfacial compatibility, high specific capacity, and excellent cycling performance, providing a key material foundation for the practical application of high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium batteries.
