[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery positive electrode material manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for preparing ferromanganese phosphate, ferromanganese phosphate prepared by the preparation method, and application of the ferromanganese phosphate in iron-manganese phosphate lithium batteries. Background Art

[0002] There have been many reports on the preparation methods of lithium iron manganese phosphate battery materials and precursors. The current methods for preparing lithium iron manganese phosphate mainly include high-temperature solid-phase method, sol-gel method and co-precipitation method. Among them, the high-temperature solid-phase method is more widely used and more suitable for industrial production. However, it is difficult to control the nucleation rate of the product phase and the diffusion rate of the phase ions in the solid-phase reaction. Therefore, the synthesized lithium iron manganese phosphate product has poor consistency, uneven particle morphology, wide particle size distribution, and a large amount of waste gas pollution will be generated during the entire high-temperature solid-phase reaction process, mainly NH3, CO2, etc. In order to solve the above shortcomings, the use of co-precipitation method to prepare iron manganese phosphate precursors has become the focus of research.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a solution to the problem of unstable ratios of various components in current ferromanganese phosphate.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is, on the one hand, a method for preparing ferromanganese phosphate, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Stir and mix the iron source, manganese source, and phosphoric acid, add a phosphorus source, and control the pH to 3.0-4.0 to prepare a mixed solution;

[0007] S2. Ammonia solution A is added to a reactor, and under an inert gas atmosphere, the mixed solution and ammonia solution B are added dropwise simultaneously, and the pH of the entire reaction process is controlled to be (7.5-8.0) ± 0.1, and ferromanganese phosphate is prepared by coprecipitation.

[0008] Optionally, in step S1, the iron source includes at least one of ferrous sulfate, hydrous ferrous sulfate, ferrous nitrate, and ferrous chloride.

[0009] Optionally, in step S1, the phosphorus source includes at least one of phosphoric acid, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate.

[0010] Optionally, in step S1, the manganese source includes at least one of manganous sulfate, manganous nitrate, manganous chloride and manganous acetate.

[0011] Optionally, the step S1 further includes adding an antioxidant, wherein the antioxidant includes ascorbic acid, and the amount of the added antioxidant is 1% of the mass fraction of the iron source.

[0012] Optionally, in step S1, the molar ratio of the added manganese source to the iron source Mn / Fe is 8:2-2:8, and the molar ratio of the sum of the molar amounts of the added manganese source and the iron source to phosphorus is 1.41-1.43. Preferably, the molar ratio of the manganese source to the iron source Mn / Fe is 7:3-3:7. Further, preferably, the molar ratio of the manganese source to the iron source Mn / Fe is 6:4-4:6.

[0013] Optionally, in step S2, the mass percentage of the ammonia solution A is 16-20%, and the mass percentage of the ammonia solution B is 8-10%.

[0017] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a use of ferromanganese phosphate prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method of ferromanganese phosphate in a manganese iron phosphate lithium battery.

[0018] After the iron source and the manganese source are prepared into a solution, phosphoric acid is added to lower the pH value of the solution, thereby reducing the probability of ferrous ion oxidation. An antioxidant is added to prevent the mixed solution from being easily oxidized during the preparation and addition process.

[0019] The ammonium phosphate salt is added to the mixed solution of the present invention. After the ammonium phosphate salt is dissolved, the ammonium phosphate salt can provide a phosphorus source and utilize the coordination effect of ammonium. 4+ The coordination of Mn and ammonia was solved by imitating the method of adding the ternary precursors at the same time. 2+ ,Fe 2+ In the problem of uniform precipitation of phosphate, Mn 2+ 、Fe 2+ The precipitation rate in the phosphate system is of the same order of magnitude, and the requirements of co-precipitation are met from the perspective of chemical reaction. Finally, the content of the three elements Mn, Fe, and P in the manganese ferrophosphate is uniform and the ratio is stable.

[0020] According to the present invention, an ammonia solution A is first added into a reaction kettle, and the pH of the ammonia solution A is adjusted to 7.5-8.0. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the mixed solution and the base (ammonia solution B) are simultaneously added dropwise using a peristaltic pump. By fixing the flow rate of the mixed solution at 239 ml / min and controlling the flow rate of the ammonia solution at 80 ml / mins, the pH is controlled to be 7.5±0.1 during the entire addition process.

[0034] A preparation method of iron manganese phosphate includes the following steps:

[0035] Stir and mix an iron source, a manganese source, and phosphoric acid, wherein the ratio of the sum of the molar amounts of Mn and Fe to the molar amount of phosphorus is 1.41 - 1.43. The molar ratio of Mn / Fe is 8:2 - 2:8. Then add an antioxidant, and the antioxidant is 1% of the mass fraction of the iron source. Then add a phosphorus source, and control the pH value to be 3.0 - 4.0 throughout the process to prepare a mixed solution; Dilute commercially available ammonia water with pure water to a mass percentage of 16 - 20% at pH 7.5 to prepare an ammonia water solution B. Put an ammonia water solution A with a mass percentage of 16% (diluted 1:1 with pure water) into a reaction kettle, introduce nitrogen, and the reaction temperature is 25 - 40°C. As the temperature rises, the sphericity becomes denser and the primary particles are smaller. At the same time, dropwise add the mixed solution (flow rate of 239 ml / min) and ammonia water B (flow rate of 80 ml / mins), and maintain the pH of the entire reaction system at 5 - 8. The higher the pH value, the smaller the primary and secondary particles. However, if the pH > 9.0, it is difficult to make spherical particles even under the condition of introducing nitrogen. The feeding times are 0.5, 2, 4, 6 h respectively, and the loose bulk density of the solid spheres increases as the feeding time extends. After the feeding is completed, age for 1 hour, and co-precipitate to prepare iron manganese phosphate. The chemical formula of the obtained iron manganese phosphate is (MnxFe1x)3(PO4)2·yH2O, where 0 < x < 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 8. Filter, wash, separate and purify the iron manganese phosphate to wash away impurities, and the main impurities include (NH4 4+ , SO4 2- ). Dry, flash vaporize, with an inlet air temperature of 220 ± 5°C and an outlet air temperature of 100 ± 5°C, sinter in a rotary kiln at 610 - 620°C for 3 - 4 h. After the iron manganese phosphate is sintered, mechanically grind and pulverize it, mix it in a mixer, and package it with a packaging machine to obtain a finished product.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] In batching kettle 1, 20,000.00 g of pure water, 500.00 g of phosphoric acid (85%), 5,000 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (20.12%), 4,578.938 g of manganese sulfate (32.42%), and 3,213.15 g of monoammonium phosphate (26.81%) were added and stirred to form a mixed solution. In batching kettle 2, 13,050 g of ammonia water (16%) was diluted with pure water in a 1:1 ratio to form ammonia solution B. The reactor was purged with nitrogen, the reaction temperature was 30°C, and 15,000g of ammonia solution A (pure water adjusted to pH 7.50 with ammonia solution) was added as the base liquid. The mixed solution and ammonia solution B were added to the reactor using 1# and 2# peristaltic pumps, respectively. The flow rate of the 1# peristaltic pump was fixed, and the flow rate of the 2# peristaltic pump was automatically adjusted by pH meter signal feedback to maintain the pH at 7.50±0.1 during the entire feeding process. The feeding time was 4h. The mixed solution and ammonia solution B were added dropwise simultaneously. Nitrogen was continued to be purged in the reactor and the aging reaction was carried out for 1h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered using a filter press and washed with water (cake: water = 1:4) 7 times. The filter cake was flash dried with a flash inlet air temperature of 220±5°C and an outlet air temperature of 100±5°C. The mixture was sintered in a rotary kiln at 610-620°C for 3-4h. After sintering, the material was mechanically ground and then fed into a mixer and a packaging machine to obtain the finished ferromanganese phosphate. As can be seen from Figures 2A-D, the secondary particles of the prepared ferromanganese phosphate are spherical and solid. Figures 5A-E are EDS element distribution diagrams of ferromanganese phosphate, which show that the three elements Mn, Fe, and P are uniform.

[0038] Figure 6A-C is the EDS line scan of ferromanganese phosphate. It can be seen from the line scan that the three elements Mn, Fe, and P are evenly distributed in ferromanganese phosphate. It can also be seen that the CP surface is flat and the elements are uniform.

Nitrogen was continued to be purged in the reactor and the aging reaction was carried out for 1h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered using a filter press and washed with water (cake: water = 1:4) 7 times. The filter cake was flash dried with a flash inlet air temperature of 220±5°C and an outlet air temperature of 100±5°C. The mixture was sintered in a rotary kiln at 610-620°C for 3-4h. After sintering, the material was mechanically ground and then fed into a mixer and a packaging machine to obtain the finished ferromanganese phosphate. As can be seen from FIG3A-C, the addition time is 0.5 h, and the prepared ferromanganese phosphate is a hollow sphere.

[0054] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the pH value of the reaction is maintained at 8.0±0.1 during the entire addition process, and the other steps and reaction conditions are exactly the same.

[0055] Example 10:

[0056] The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the sum of the molar amounts of manganous sulfate and ferrous sulfate and the molar amount of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is 1.41, wherein the molar ratio of manganous sulfate to ferrous sulfate is 6:4, and the other steps and reaction conditions are exactly the same.

[0059] Comparative Example 1

[0060] This comparative example differs from Example 1 in that the pH was adjusted to 8.5 during the reaction, resulting in oxidation of the raw materials, inability to completely precipitate manganese and iron ions, and a high ion loss rate in the mother liquor.

As can be seen from the SEM images in Figures 7A-E, the morphology of the prepared ferromanganese phosphate is not spherical.
