Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of resource recycling and electrode material preparation technology of waste lithium-ion batteries, specifically involving high-pressure lithium iron phosphate material and its preparation method for the regeneration of waste battery phosphorus iron slag. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries possess advantages such as high safety, long cycle life, low cost, and environmental friendliness, and have been widely used in new energy vehicles and energy storage. As a large number of LFP power batteries gradually enter their retirement period, the recycling and high-value reuse of spent LFP batteries has become an important direction for the green development of the new energy industry. Existing wet recycling processes can typically achieve efficient leaching and recovery of lithium elements, but the leaching process generates solid residues containing iron and phosphorus, namely iron-phosphorus slag. This type of iron-phosphorus slag still retains the iron and phosphorus framework required for the regeneration and synthesis of lithium iron phosphate, and has high reuse value. However, directly using iron-phosphorus slag to regenerate lithium iron phosphate cathode materials usually results in problems such as uneven particle size distribution, low compaction density, and poor electrochemical performance.

[0003] Currently, high-density lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials are typically prepared using high-purity raw materials or precursors. Utilizing the iron phosphate slag generated during the recycling of spent LFP batteries to prepare high-density cathode materials for high-value reuse is of great significance. However, systematic and effective technical solutions are still lacking regarding defect repair, uniform carbon layer construction, and synergistic optimization of particle size distribution in the recycled iron phosphate slag materials. Therefore, using iron phosphate slag generated during the recycling of spent LFP batteries as raw material to prepare recycled LFP cathode materials with high compaction density and excellent electrochemical performance has significant engineering application value and industrialization prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Compaction density comparison: The compaction density of the cathode materials prepared by the examples and comparative examples was tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0032] Table 1

[0033] As shown in Table 1, the electrode compaction density of the lithium iron phosphate materials prepared in Examples 1-4 is higher than that of the lithium iron phosphate materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2, indicating superior processing performance. This application obtained lithium iron phosphate materials with high compaction density through mixed carbon source coating and particle gradation.

[0034] SEM images of the graded high-density lithium iron phosphate cathode material prepared in Example 1 are shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the sample contains particles of different sizes. This particle size distribution forms a gradation of large and small particles, which increases the compaction density of the material. The spray-dried sample exhibits a regular spherical morphology. This morphology is conducive to the rearrangement and slippage of particles during the electrode rolling process, thereby increasing the compaction density of the electrode.

[0035] The XRD pattern of the lithium iron phosphate cathode material prepared in Example 1 is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the characteristic diffraction peaks of the sample match the standard card of olivine structure LiFePO4, indicating that a well-crystallized lithium iron phosphate material was successfully synthesized.

[0036] The following describes the preparation process of coin cells based on the lithium iron phosphate cathode material prepared in the aforementioned embodiments, and compares the electrochemical performance of coin cells prepared based on different lithium iron phosphate cathode materials.

[0037] Active material, PVDF, and conductive carbon black were mixed in a mass ratio of 8:1:1 and dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to form a slurry. The slurry was then stirred on a stirring table for 8 hours to ensure uniform mixing. The slurry was then uniformly coated onto aluminum foil and dried in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 12 hours. The electrode sheet was then removed, compacted on a tablet press, and finally cut into 14 mm diameter electrode discs using a slicing machine. Using the electrode sheet prepared based on lithium iron phosphate cathode material as the positive electrode, lithium foil as the negative electrode, a 1.0 M LiPF6 solution dissolved in EC: EMC: DMC = 1:1:1 (v:v:v) as the electrolyte, and a Celgard 2500 polypropylene organic microporous membrane as the separator, a coin cell was assembled in a glove box filled with high-purity argon.

[0038] After assembling the button cell, the battery was charged and discharged using a NEWARE BTS (range: 0-5 V, 0-50 mA) charge and discharge tester at rates of 0.1 C and 1 C.

[0039] A comparison of the charge-discharge curves at 0.1 C rate of lithium-ion batteries (i.e., the aforementioned coin cells) assembled with lithium iron phosphate cathode materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and those prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2. Figure 3 As shown. From Figure 3 As can be seen from this, the battery exhibits the typical charge-discharge plateau of lithium iron phosphate materials, corresponding to Fe 2+ / Fe 3+Redox reactions and the lithium-ion insertion / extraction process. The battery assembled from the materials prepared in Example 1 has a 0.1 C discharge capacity of 162.59 mAh / g and a 1C discharge capacity of 140.83 mAh / g. Figure 4 The comparison of the 1C charge-discharge cycle curves of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 shows that the lithium-ion battery prepared in Example 1 has the best electrochemical performance.
